She has won the hearts of all with whom she has come in contact during her stay in Charlotte. Yesterday she was perfectly dressed in a suit of midnight blue cloth distinctly stylish in cut, with a becoming hat of jade green georgette, and corsage of lilies of the valley and roses. Mr. Young is a son of the late Arthur Young and Mrs. Margaret Leonora Young, now Mrs. Ross, and is of a family widely known and highly esteemed in the Palmetto State. He graduated with honor at the Charlotte public schools, and later at the University of North Carolina, and is national officer of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. He took a high stand at college. A little over a year ago he joined the reportorial staff of The Charlotte Observer, which position he still holds and is known in newspaper circles as one of the best reporters in the State. He and his pretty little bride will, on their return, make their home with Mr. Young's mother on Beaumont avenue, Elizabeth Heights.
