Oa Tuesday evening the l'rnlo
Whi-t club rooms seemed a vist
kaleidoscope. The affair a tn
dered to the newly elected muinbira
of the club and a number devoied
themselves to drive whist which
was madu a feature of the evening.
But even the mrat ardent whist
players were finally lured from the
tables by tho street strains of the
Mux. can orche-tra into the lali
room to mingle in the beautiful
sene of shifting colors.
M"srs. M ittox Burnham anl

The lines of tho play are brih1

On Wednesday evening at tho

iMesrs. Eugene Sparks llonry Md.
ler Clare jco M joro and Lud Wil-
liams. The to tiny maids of honor
in dainty giuzj frocks were Misses
May Vaughan Dupreo aui Nellie
Richie. Tnn bride who is a vorv
pretty uuJ petite brunette wore a
beautiful gon of white oatin with
trimmings of handsome lace. Tho
coill'uro v.as caught with orioge
blossoms from which fell the filmy
veil of tulle. White hyaoiinhsticd
with broad satin ribbons were the
bridal flowers.
A'ter the ceremony an informal

MNG-DICKKT.
There were no elaborate details
connected jiththo marriage of Mr.
.). C. J. K ng Jr. and Miss Flora
Dickey aid yet it was one of the
nnet f ishi uible evonts of the sea-
son owing to tbo prominent position
occupied in society by the high con-
traolinc parties-
The" First Presbyterian church
was crowded to its utmost capacity
at noon on Thursday when the
organ pealed forth the wedding
march as the ushers Mes?rs. Terry
Dee Caruthers Paikerand Raudall
preceded Mr. King and his charm-
ing bride dotfn the aisle to the
altar where the Rev. Dr. K'ug
stood ready to perform the cere-
mony. It is stereotyped to say
that the bride was beautiful and
lovely but in very truth Miss
Dickey was both. Since herdtb.it
only a few s lort nnmhs ago she
has been one of our prettiest and
most courted belles and never has
she looked more charming than in
her elegant bridal gown of brown
broadcloth nude in the latest
Parisian mode. The full gored
skirt was unadorned the long
waiated bodice with its double
capes falling in points and trimmed
with large butuns had theboufl'iiit
sleeves of tho period and ended in a
deep ripple which fell in graceful
folds aleo ending in points. A 11 tf
little chapeau with mercury wings
completed the toilette. A single
calla surrounded with a fringe of
hyacinths formed the brida'
bouquet.
Mr. King is the eldest son of one
of our most distinguished physi-
cians Dr. J. C. J. King and ia not
only a prominent member of
fojiety but a most progressive
business man so tho union is a most
auspicious one.
Mr. and Mrs. King left immedi-
ately for Washington City and

The mail brings me the following
query with the request that I answer
it through these columns: "Can a
married woman bo a society woman
without neglecting her home? bitch
a question would bo oasy onough to
answer could you think my reply
impersonal; but in a town whore the
reporter is so thoroughly identified
with her work it ia not such an
easy task; eo boforo giving myJ
view's I beg you to remumuur iuai
a writeror in this oaao a scribbler
always has ideils which soar far bo.
yond self aud that his pen pictures
are what he would bo not what
he is.
Ye i most decidedly yes i wom-
an can be of society aud bo a home
maker as well that is if she is a
creature of brains. She is not the
woman who dances half the night
and then allows her husband to
breakfast alone. A wunmi of that ilk
is too negative to be of much use
either in or out of tho homo How-
ever it is just as bad to go to the
other pxtreme to make a slave of
oneself for home duties.
1 wih I could tell you jcist bow
a httlo friend of mine manages but
space f oi bids and I doubt if she
would care to have her all airs drag-
ged before the public. She is a
thorough woman of tho world a
society devotee if you will
young and fresh as a girl goes out
continually aud is sought alter by
young aud old aud yet hers is the
sweetest home tho nnst contented
husband and the best bahaved and
well dressed children that I know
of and besides she holds a salaried
position on a metropolitan-daily.
How does sho do it? Well 1 can
only repeat some laughing words
of hers "I work even while I curl
my hair ideaB come and with curl-
ing iron in one hand aud pencil in
tho other I make numerous aud
sundry paragraphs." This only il-
lustrates what a littlo energy and
will can accomplish.
Society is like everything elso
in it one must strike a happy medi-
um.. Duty first pleasure afterward
is the best maxim. But a little
brain work will plan such easy ways
to poi form the duties that they will
mingle with the pleasures.
Theodore Thomas saya "Remo.
nyi playa for both critics and people.
He is master of his instrument it
tings sighs and weeps; it all but
talks under his master hand "
A letter from an eastorn friend
strikes they key note: "Wo have
all our pleasuro for charity thiw
winter the entire season has been
given ovor to bouefits and it has
kept us from feeling wicked in eu-
j lying our many comforts aud
luxuries." One good result which
cornea ia that the fewer largo affaire
the more informal ones wo have so
we find geuuiuo pleasure in our
friends.

That women aro endowed with
great executive ability is at inter
vals ovidenced by some shining ex-
ampl . Just now in our own little
world tho managerial skill of Mrs.
Stokoly Slayden calls forth much
commendation. She handles the
roins of tho Butteitly fete with the
air of a veteran and is working it
up to a grand success. Mrs. Hattie
McCall Travis who trains the
dancers is another good illuatr3tioii
of what women can do if they havo
the will. A disciple of the
Delsrrto school tho lady is well up
in tho latest poses and graceful
movements and her tireless efforts
are bringing tho participants up to
a high standard of excellence. Tho
patronesses who work uudor tho
guidanco of these two ladies also
manogo their departments bo
thoroughly that Waco can well
keep to its boast of having an
unusually bright coterie of women.
