SNETZER- ADAMS.
Nuptials of Mir. Bert Snetzer and Miss Lee Adams Celebrated Wednesday
 Evening At Baptist Church.

June, the month of weddings, at least a popular one with Newport pill grims to Hymen's altar, has ushered in it's first trota plighting in the mar riage Of MT. Bert Snetzer to Miss Lee Adams at the Baptist church Wednes- day evening.
 l Magnolia blossoms, studded here and there upon the walls, while to the rear and in front of the pulpit, a back ground of luxuriant palms, ferns and English ivy, together with a hanging IS" of eldsr blossom above the spot where the VOWS should be taken, all contributed to very pretty effect, the decorations being the handiwork 1 of Mesdames A. D. Holland and J. E.. Mann.
 Tbe church was early crowded with friends of the contracting parties and standing room could hardly be se- cured when Mendlessohn's march, very sweetly played by Miss Claire Johnson announced the arrival of the wedding party.
 The ushers, Messrs. Arthur Bouie and Roy Pace, advanced together and took positions upon either side of the altar, followed by Mrs. James Duffer. Next came the fair bride upon the arm of Miss Lula Knoles and lastly the groom, accompanied by his best man, MT. Henry Bragg.
 Rev. T. c. Mahan said brief and very beautiful service and again i Mendlessohn's march was used for the recessional. A reception was tend- cred the bridal party at the home of the groom and the newly wed left on the south bound train for weeks visit with relatives at Searcy. Shortly after their return, they expect to go to housekeeping, and they were so handsomely remembered by their l friends, that there is little left to buy 1 in the furnishing of a home. The presents consisted of beautiful furni- ture, silver ware, cut glass and many other useful articles.
 The bride was lovely in handsome crepe de chine made over silk, with ! embroidered mouselin and taffeta moire trimmings. She wore the veil and carried large boquet of brides roses.
 Miss Lula Knoles, the brides maid, wore a pink crepe de chine with tucked mouselin and ribbons, over silk and carried brides maid roses.
 Mrs. James Duffer, was handsome in an organdie creation with point de spirit, liberty satin trimmings and car ried carnations.
 The gentlemen appeared we'll in 1 full dress.
 The INDEPENDENT congratulates and wishes we'll the young couple, who have chosen each other for help meets through life, as the groom is an energetic and capable young business man of high character and genial dis position and the bride a very lovable 1 young lady, whose refinement, optim- istic temperament and sweet charac- 1 ter maese the couple well worthy of the choicest blessings that fall to mortal lot, happiness and content- ment.

THE SECRET rs OUT.
A Bachelor Girl Tells why She Doei
Not Marry.

| Not Marry.
"Why CO l not marryg" said the
bachelor girl. "Because-oh, because
| haven't been asked" was the unex.
pected reply, and all the fine theories
OF deliberate cruelty to the future race
were dashed to the ground. "Its q
mistake" she went on, ito, suppose
that We unmarried women sit down
and calmly consider the pros and cons
of matrimonial relations; thft we de-
nberately discuss and decide what at
titude We will take in regard to thu
appalling problem Of the future Of the
human race. 1t sounds wise and all
that to hear that We bachelor girls
have solved the perplexing problem of
the age, but we can't even take credit
to ourselves for that. Force of cir.
cumstances is responsible for the mum.
Der Of our kind in existence.
TITS my opinion that no girl is toe
busy to think Of men. The society
girl who is bent on having a good time
wants to prolong her period Of enjoy.
ment just rs long MS she can before she
deliberately curtoils her freedom 10y
marrying, but she looks forward to
matrimony some day, and the girl who
workg-say, a girl Of the upper classes
who ihds she must earn her own liv.
inS-it she makes n success Of It finds
that she has opened up for herself
delightful life Of independence and
happiness, but It isn't this fact that lies
at the bottom OF her bachelorhood.
"Her work rs a general thing brings
her In contact with men OF business,
usually married men, and from them
she gets an insight into matrimony
which makes her skeptical as to its
general desirability. Little remarks lei
fan now and then reveal the truth that
all is not path Of roses. The result is
that the bachelor maid finds discour
agement on every side, and. all things
considered, the scales certainly turn ir
the favor Of the unmarried state, OF
at least Of procrastlnatlon.
"She decides TO look well before she
leaps, and the process OF investigation
begins to thin the ranks Of tile eli
gibics, while day by day she grows
more difficult to please. As conse
Quence she is so taken up with this
inquisition that the final plunge Is long
deferred, Sometimes It Is Indefinitely

HOW Old YOU DEP

Did you tackle that trOable that came

Or hide your face from the light of day
With a craven soul and fearful?

And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that

DO Not MAKE FACES.

1t Is not necessary to have the side OF
the mouth and nose dlsfgured by lines
to such an alarming extent as we too
frequently see, says the philadelphia
Inquirer There are twenty-eight mus
Giles about the mouth which contra Ct
and relax under control oc the will, and
which pout and laugh, or frequently
droou with fretfulness.
1t Is easy to see that the woman who
misuses these muscles and allows her
face to reflect every emotion, being In
decd, recklessly cxtraragant in the
expenditure Of the emotions, must ex-
pect havoc to be worked with the
face.
1t is worGe than useless to put cold
cream on Il cold skin, 1t does not sink
IN, but lies upon the flesh, doing no
good and making 1t oily. Indeed, to
this may be traced the greasy effect
which cold cream has upon many skins,
With the skin warm, put on the toilet
cream, and then use the brush, or even
the palm Of the hand, for rubbing.

A LESSON IN GRACE

There are women, and most of Us
Know them, who cannot stoop to pick
up a handkerchief without getting red
in the face. There are those who can.
not lift a window without palpitatlon
or the heart. Thousands OF women
have difficulty in walking upstairs, and
the number who can run without yet
ting out Of breath within thirty Yards
can be counted upon one hand.
Now and then you see a woman who
is capable Of running up stairs and
down again. who can walk gracefully.
and who can lift and reach, and nick
up things without suffering from n
flushed face and a Quickened breath.
And when you do find such a woman
you VIII find one who mpresses you rs
being a young woman. She is SO 1.-THE
that you associate her with youth. no
matter how old she may be.
