and the marriage itself was bril-
liant beyond any society event
lately. The church was beauti-
fully decorated with ferns and

petals, Hazel Bristep, sister of the

In the state department, where :
fair knowledge Of history is the one
requisite above others, information
concerning the earlier history Of Ger
many was desired. The employee upon
whom this task of finding this devolved
is a young woman who passed the civil
service examination with an Al grade.
She went to the bookshelves and looked
in that section where the historical
data of this country are kept.
sThat's funny she murmured after
rummaging through the volume. Here
Is Germany, but these books don't go
back far enough. 7
After another desultory search through
the volumes she came and stood beside
an elder woman whose early education,
though by no means as comprehensive
as that Of today, consisted IN learning
what she did learn well.
