You know we really feel like we are
being cheated out of something in not
having lovely Margaret Jones marry in.
Mobile, the city that was her home up
to few short years ago, and where all
the happy associations of her girlhoodi
are. But to prove that she still clings
to her friends here she came back to
spend two weeks with Halle Cooper
Ladd. and every day and every evening
some party is being given for her,
marking her ante-nuptial days happily
for herself and the girls who grew up
with her, many of whom are already
married. Her wedding naturally is of
interest all over the state, Birmingham,
her future home Greensboro, her moth
er's home, where the Peterson family
has always been prominent, and Mobile,
her girlhood home, all uniting in con-
gratulations to Mr.. Robert Henry
Bowron, whose marriage to Magaret
Peterson Jones is especially interesting
to fashionable society in Birmingham,
where his family is prominent, and
where the wedding takes place. The.
bride-elect, who is the only daughter of
Mrs. Frederick Pride Jones, formerly
of Mobile, and Pride Jones, her bother,
are now making their home with Mrs.
H. F. Wilson, 2101 Eleventh avenue,
south.
Her fiance, Mr.. Bowron, is a son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Bowron, promi-
nent in the history of Birmingham and

Dahlberg of New Orleans, a bride of
February, who was Miss Nancy Jones,
a cousin of the bride, will he matron of

another cousin of Miss Jones, viii be

Mr.. Richard l.. Bowron will serve his
brother as best man, and the grooms-

his sister in marriage.
Immediately following the ceremony
the members of the wedding party and
the families only will be entertained at
the home of the brides aunt, Mrs. AL
fred Benners, and Judge Benners, on
Huntsville avenue.
OF course you want to know what
Margaret Jones has been doing since
she arrived here about ten days ago.
Well, she was a favored guest at the
meeting of the Tuesday Bridge club,
Mrs. Julian McPhillips, the hostess,
having an extra table in her homer |;
Thursday her friend, Fletcher Slaton
(Mrs. Carter Luscher) had two tables
bridge party for hire. Monday she is
Mrs. s. w. Pipes entertained her at two
tables, and presented her with pretty
madeira towel. Those whom she invit-
ed to play the game with her were
Sheldon McKinstry, who will be q
bridegroom himself in July; Mr.. and
Mrs. Milton Ladd, whom Margaret is
visiting; Mr.. and Mrs. Julian McPhil7
lips, Miss Marie Murphy and Mr.. Pipes.
Friday Mrs. DENLY Garrison gave
bridge party for her. Monday she's
dated up for a party at Spring Hill with
Mrs. Tazewell Shepard entertaining for
her and her young sister, Agnes Webb,
and on Wednesday Mrs. Milton Ladd,
her hostess, claims the afternoon, as she
will entertain her at bridge party at
8 o'clock.
Then she will return to Birmingham
in ample time for her two cousins,
Miss Margaret Coleman and Miss NAL
vina Coleman, to entertain on the eve
ming of Friday, June 10, comphmenting
her and Mr.. Bowron following the re-
hearsal of their wedding.
Do you wonder when 1 say we are
feeling cheated at not seeing her as
bride, because she's going to be married
in true bridal, attire? which is as it
should be when one is so young and so
lovely, and her attendants are to wear
summer dresses and hats. After
wedding trip, Mr.. Bowron will bring
his bride back to be with his parents
for the summer out at their home on
South Highlands, and that's quite far
enough to look ahead, for as the fall
is several months way off tn the dis
lance the bride and groom-to-be both
are Sufficient the day." and the day
is only matter of few weeks away.
