KREBs-THoMpsoN WEDDING

A touch of romance in windy March is a thing for which busy, restless Birming- ham should return thanks. Such a day as yesterday, chill, gloomy and windy one would never have expected romance to thrive and yet. Ion such day Miss Lois Thompson and MT. Miller Krebs quietly went away and were married, quite like two young lovers of the day, when Gretna Green was in highest favor. 1t was most unusual, truly, and hardly to be expected of pretty Lois Thomp- son, especially by those who remember the brilliant wedding of her sister, Edith. little more than year ago. Even her parents MT. and Mrs. Joseph O. Thomp- son, expected the event to occur in the conventional fashion, and to this end the dainty rousseau was in progress, so that late in April quite in the usual orderly and decorous manner of bridal affairs d wedding with maids and ushers and flow CTS and music and all the other conven- tional trifies supposed to be necessary to any brides pursuit of happiness sholud furnish the appropriate surroundings for a nuptial ceremony.
 But contrary to this cherished plan, the bride-elect, attired in a modish blue tall leur and little green, hat, in which she Is altogether adorable,N walked out yes terday to lunch with her fiance, and at 2.30 o'clock she had married him In tlc ulcdulliHc tnc hctisc iieio pSNaA f7'- N'i VI and MT. and Mrs. Allen J. Krebs, parents of the bridegroom, were notified. They telephoned to Mrs. Thompson-Mr. Thompson was out of the city at the time and secured her consent. This was an easy matter, as there had never been par ental objection to the marriage. and SO with two close friends of the bride-Miss Carrie Yates and Miss Leila Snith--to act as her maids of honor, and with the groom's brother Mr. Allen Krebs, Jr., for his best man, and with MT. and Mrs A. J. Krebs also as witnesses of the vows the unique ceremony occurred.
 Mrs Thompson the brides mother, tel ephoned few moments afterward the following announcement:
 MT. and Mrs. Joseph O. Thompson an nounce the marriage of their daughter Lois, to MT. Miller Krebs, Saturday aft ernoon, March 2, 1914"
 MT. and Mrs. Krebs left soon after the vows for Mobile and other points on the southern coast. It is not known when they will return, but they will make their home here. He is associated with his father,9 MT. A. J. Krebs, in business. and is highly esteemed in society. His bride is the second daughter of MT. and Mrs Thompson, and one of the prettiest and most popular girls of the younger set Both families are prominent and the marriage will be @ matter of interest throughout the state.
