On September II

Representatives of the "Congrega-
ton of the Holy Ghost and of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Inc" of
the Roman Catholic Church will go
before the Board of Zoning Adjust
ment Wednesday, September II, in
a further attempt to establish their
right to use the premises at 1915

justment had held that the proposal
could not be consider ed as school

dents of the neighborhood had pro-
tested against use of the building as
proposed by the order.
Another case to come before the
board will be the appeal of Eliza
beth B. Hume, owner. for Mrs. C..
M. Conrad, tenant, for permission
to establish a nursery school as an
educational institution at 2235 @

August Marriage Licenses
Establish Record With 1,O74

August-never before a serious

Bureau here in unprecedented num-

When District Court books were
closed at noon yesterday it devel-
oped that 1,074 marriage licenses
had been issued during the q Au-
gust days the bureau was open.
Unable to account for the increase
except to theorize-court attend
ants believed conscription legisla-
tion might have been big factor.
However, it was emphasized that

double that for the same month
year ago, when 500 couples applied
for licenses. The previous all-time
monthly record was 99l, established
in June, 1887.
Breaking the month down into
days, the record for August meant
that nearly 40 applications were
sought daily. During the three
hours the bureau was open yester-
day 43 applications were issued.
To substantiate their belief that
draft legislation. calling for con-
scription of men between 81 and 81,
was factor, court attaches pointed
out that 80 of the 43 men an
nouncing their intention to wed yes
terday were within the compulsory
military training limits.

The Nazis were dismissed, it was
reported, with the statement
that Turkish craftsmen would

YACHT CLUB BALL
Many Reserve Costumes
WILL BE COLORFUL
Observation-Disclosures

A tale of twentieth century
city suddenly gone horse and
buggy" was told last week by Col.
H. A. Dixon, of Miami, the
South's leading costumer, when
he was in town to take advance
orders for the Yacht Club Cos
tune Ball to be held Saturday of
next week.
At the recent Gone with the
Wind" celebration in Atlanta, the
colonel was commissioned to
transform the inhabitants into
people of the 1905. For three
days the entire city gave itself
up to the spirit of those days.
Hotel clerks, mattresses, shop
keepers and society people don
ned the dress of eighty years
ago and rode about the streets in
talleyhos, buggies, surveys and
stagecoacheS; while visitors were
guided about the city by Con
federate officers. The genteel
manners of ante-bellum days
were the vogue in Atlanta dur
ing the three days of reincarna-
ton, as gentlemen saluted each
other with raised hat and the la
dies sighed for the lost chivalry
of the good old days.
Some of the bellies of Key West
will be fluttering the hearts of
men at the Yacht Club ball next
week in the same costumes worn
at the famous Atlanta ball. And
several local dandies will sport
the tight breeches and colored
waistcoats that danced attendance
on the fairest flowers of the
South.
Colonel Dixon will be in town
next Thursday with a large as
sortment of costumes of all kinds
for those who did not make adj
vance orders. They will be on
display for two days before the
dance across from the Old Island
Trading Post at the foot of Du-
val street.
