brary is a pleasant place these sum
mer days. Il is cool when the sun
shines warmly, and is not too much
shaded for comfort on a chilly day.
Readers are not so numerous as in the
winter. when schools are In session
and reference books are in demand, but
the number of books taken out this
summer has been unusually large ac-
cording to recent report by Librarian
Bowerman. Summer visitors find the
library and the contents of its shelves
attractive also. for even If they are
not privileged TO take the books from
the building they may read as many Of
them as they care to in the reading
room.
Librarian attendants report that the
present demand is for fiction, the read
ers leaving the solid reading for the
fall months. Among the most popular
books are. Audrey" Dorothy Yer
non, Hearts Courageous" Mrs.
Tree. Marion Manning" Miss Pet
ticoats." The Virginian," Leopard
Spots" THE Velvet Glove" These are
among the latest publications. and
find little time TO rest quietly on the
shelves. Indeed the summer book is
worked about as hard as any institu-
tion in the land.
Nature books are not so much in
demand as they were last summer, bui
just why it would be hard to say
Autumn days when the people settle
idown to regular work and study they
probably will take up these thought
ful books again. There are many books
on the shelves in demand only in win,
ter. and these Of course. are having Z
quiet time just now. The new ones O

Prominent Couple Married Here

'Ine BatlmOre sun OF today SAYS:
Mr. and Mrs Oliver Wellington Hart,
of Mount Washington, have announced
the marriage of their youngest daugh-
ter, Miss Willyhyde Hart,to Pinkney
Hammond Plummer. OF Mount Wash
ingtOn. The wedding took place on
August at Wilmington, Del, the
ceremony being performed by the Rev.
George l.. Wolf, of the First Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, of that city.
The announcement, quiet as it is,
has caused a ripple of excitement in
the social life of Mount Washington,
not only because both the young peO-
pie are well-known and prominently
connected, but because the couple con-
suited no one concerning their matri-
monial intentions, and the fact that
they have been married has just be-
come known to their parents and
friends.
Mr.. Plummer is the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jesse Hopkins Plummer, OF
Mount Washington. His father has
been for many years chief clerk in the
Baltimore division of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and he himself is associated
with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
His mother was a Miss Hammond, oi
Annapolis, and the family is among the
old residents of Mount Washington.
The bride is a niece of Miss Caroline
NJ c. Hart, director of the Training
lSchool of the Baltimore KindergarteI
Association, and granddaughter o
Judge Henry n. Hart, of st. Louis, Mo
4 Her father is widely known in insur
lance circles of the West and North, an,
! her stepsister, Miss Annie Chamber
: lCzapski. is connected with the Louis
/. lville Courier-Journal. On her moth
er's side Mrs. Plummer is a grand
daughter of Mrs. Annie Chambers
Ketchum. the poetess Of the Civil Wa
4 period.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. w. Hart have bee
residents of Mount Washington onl
two years. When their daughter, VIII
is only Is years of age, announced he
j engagement in the early summer to Nj
Plummer. who is but 10 years old. tn
= parents of neither party regarded tn
r matter with sufficient seriousness {
{ send out formal notices. and the dat
of the wedding was not discussed
all.
The young people felt different
about it, however. 1t is said that tt
desire Of Mr.. Hart to remove his fan
}. lily to the South as a place of residenC
j perhaps hastened the event.

yegue and Use Of Pink

Not so many decades ago there were
people who contended that after aewo-
man had reached the mature age or
twenty-three she should give up wear
ing pink, no matter how becoming that
exquisite tint might be to her, merely
because the color was popularity sup
posed to be suitable only, for children
and young girls; to those whom Ma
tlre had blessed with any shade oil
red hair the color was considered I'M
possible at any period of life. For
unately. however, those ideas no long

any color more becoming to an au-
