All Things Considered, II
 You Please, This Is the Verdict
By DOLLY DALRYMPLR

She is very clever woman-in her way

 That a @real' heart beats in her bosom;
 A make believee one.
 Ore that never fails to respond to any appeal.
 She certainly is not refined in the sense that you or I would call refined.
 Far from it In fact
 She has manner that is very dis , ts "fl'' to most people:
 She is too familiar,
 We'll
 She's what we call in common par lance ''fresh!'
 Yet
 Withal-
 She is wonderful woman in nany ways:
 And
 She has elibed very difficult ladder
 With no one to boost her, so to speak. Or
 Really to give her any encouragement One day she told me about herself
 She knows her limitations. I found out wren the story was complete
 I realize that I can only go so far she said. T can't get any farther My early life and training is holding me back. It always will'
 Then
 She told me that as child she had lived Tn an unspeakably depraved environment and that her associates were very tough Kids and drunken men and none.
 I hated the life I loafbad thu naot,1a she said vehemently. And my earliest cream was to get away from it all as soon as ever l could. l didn't get away until l was 15 OF over, but the mire of tfose early years will cling to me until l die''
 So she went on. T say. if YOU want to do anything or anybody do it for a child. That's why l give all my extra money to charity that helps children The early years are the most impressionable ones"
 She paused
 Suddenly she looked up and exclaimed: 'I know what people say about me, Don't think that l am fooled l. know what they say l lack. But it is t6o late for me to change that part of me DOW. we tried. It can't be done. It can be eliminated to certain extent. and I've done that-yepeered you know. but not eradicated it completely. I might have done it once in the long ago if I'd only had the opportunity but l think if pep- pie only knew Ohe ones who don't like some of my ways) what I've done for myself in spite of things, they would be a little bit more charitable don't You? about crticising me for what I haven't done"
 Presently she smiled whimsically and said:
 'I remind myself when l review my-life especially my early days, of the man whose tombstone they inscribed with tue epitaph:
 That's what l think I've done' she went on. T think I've averaged well, all things considered
 She left me with something to think about

BIRCH RUSSELL
 WEDDING OCCURS

The marriage of Miss Elizabeth Russell. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ]. Edward Russell. to MT. Guyler Bergh was sol emnized yesterday morning with a cere- mony unusually impressive and beauti- full in the presence of relatives and few intimate friends of the young people. pr. Henry M. Edmonds. pastor of the South Highlands Presbyterian church, was the officiant. and there were no attendants.
 The living room of the residence, where the ceremony was pronounced. afforded a beautiful setting for the early morning nuptials. Masses of palms and ferns were arranged about it and among the ferns, which were clustered together to form an altar, bloomed tall sprays of Easter lilies the blossoms lifting their snowy heads at either side of the im- provised altar.
 MT. Bergh and his bride entered to- gether to receive the VOWS She was attired for travelling, in a modish blue tailleur fashioned of one of the new materials in an advanced style. Her small hat matched it and was exceed ingly becoming. She is unusually pretty and her expressive face indicates the spirit and vivacity which are among her charms. Bride roses and lilies of the valley composed her bouquet
 MT. Bergh has. since coming to Bir- mingham six months ago, become de- cfdedly popular both in society and in the business world, where he is known as local representative of a large asbestos manufacturing company. He is a native of Norway and is brilliantly educated After completing his college career he served two years in the army of his na- tive country. He is a genial, likeable fellow, and those who know the charming girl he has won feel sure that a happy future awaits them.
 MT. and Mrs. Bergh left yesterday for New York to sail after a few days for Norway, where they will spend six weeks with his parents They will make their home here

Fond of Ribbons

T know of little crippled girl who is fond of ribbons. l have none to give her myself, so l ask you oget her some. There may be a girl who has more than she can use, and who would give her a few. M A R.
 A correspondent wrote a while ago that 'it must be a native born instinet-the desire of a girl for hair fibbons-or it of the crippled child's longing for the modest decoration letter received by the same mail which helps on the proof of our correspondent's opinion. May I sug- gest that the crippled girls wish take precedence of the second?
 T wish to ask if some of the readers of the Corner will find me old hair rib bons for my girls hair; old hat ribbons or bits of odds and ends of lace. etc. which l could use to trim the ehildrens 8 dresses with? I have some silk patches l can send. and perhaps you can find some one to whom I can give them. I will pay postage on anything that is sent to me.
 MRS. D."
 The cripple's appeal was to young girls, our junior members. who might find it in their hearts to spare ribbon or two from their lavish stores The mother here will go with skilful management into the trimmings of her lassies gowns. It is inborn in us women-this love for pretti- nesses of all sorts, and, being natural it should be fed to a reasonable extent. There is infinite pathos in the longing for the beautiful when it is unattainable.

CHAPPELL CORY, JR.,
 WRITES FROM CAMP

The following taken from a personal letter received from Chappell Cory, Jr.I from the military camp in Asheville, N. C., gives a fine idea of the camp and will be of interest to many:
 1.-The camp is fine and everything is fine. We are situated on a foothill of Sunset mountain. a kind of ridge or spur. The khaki tents are arranged in two rows with the openings on the inside on the street. Each tent when full contains six men, and ours is full. There is plenty of room when coats are arranged properly and we have fixed ours up in fine style today The cots are the regular army folding and with mattress and blankets they furnish are very comfort able. Indeed, the United States govern ment is very thoughtful and thorough. We were all given heavy sweaters to wear in the cool hours and ponchos-rain- coats that are a combination to protect everything.
 As to eating. well, it is good as anybody wants to have. It beats fried chicken even. Besides being we'll cooked it is very diversified (except Irish potatoes, which come every meaD and there is plenty of it and the best quality Some times it is beef then bacon, the best in the world, then fish, etc. We have jams of all kinds cheese and pickles, butter all the time and desserts for dinner And take 1t from me, We eat .iti We are fortu- [ nate in our tentmates two of whom are from St. Louis attending Washington university, and two from Asheville, two of them engineers, and all splendid fel- lows; one is a dry humorist and keeps us -laughing at his quaint remarks. Be- sides good tentmates, we have good bunch all round-from the captain who is a splendid example of a soldier and a gentleman on down through the whole layout.
 Most of the fellows come from wall-to- do families-they dress we'll and dance, when they get chance Over half the camp is gone to one tonight. And now X for what We do. We are always doing something, be sure of that. To tell the truth, I have not had time to write a E ringle letter, this being my first We get up at 5:3o and then assemble in two com panies, A and B, and take some setting up exercises for 10 minutes. We have only 10 minutes to dress in. Then mess, [ Followed by cleaning up camp and tent and getting ready for inspection. We have two inspections, one by the lieuten- and and one by the surgeon.

Gossip from Washington indicates the usual social dullness for this season In the Post appears these notes: With some gone to take cures at German spas, some to take castles on Scotch moors, diplomats gone home to report to foreign offices and recreate on their own heath, de- butantes gone to select trousseaux for a first season, all swelling the eastward tide of transatlantic travel, the usual mid summer sailing of last week further de- pleted the ranks of the Washington world. Many of those now on the seas had been here. if not continuously, at least at intervals during the early sum- mer, and their departure, notable at any time, becomes especially so after the per- ceptible thinning out which the first of July brings The German ambassador who lowered between Washington and Newport during the last fortnight, with an occasional engagement elsewhere to make an address at a college commence ment or corner stone laying, went home on the Vaterland Wednesday, His of ficial engagements at Berling concluded, the ambassador will go to his estates in the Bavarian hills near Munich to join Countess von Bernstorff and make the acquaintance of his new grandehild, the infant born recently to Countess Pourtales, only daughter of the Ambas- sador and Countess von Bernstorff

Her annual balls were occasions of much I young guests who came to dance in the house made famous by her three daugh- ters.

That MT. and Mrs Mum, both fond of society and sport, should find their way to the moors is quite in keeping not only with their own tastes. but with the social affiliations of Mrs Mum S family, the DreXels. the Astors, and the Pauls, who for several generations have been in close touch with the circle of British society to whom the annual migra- tion to Scotland at the close of the Lon don season has become an hereditary in- stinct.

Needs an Ear Trumpet

T wrote to you some time ago soliciting an ear trumpet for dear old lady. She is still staying with me. and she would consider herself fortunate if she could get one of those so kindly offered by Mrs B. J. G. B. B. FL
 We have tried hard to procure an ear trumpet for your friend. l insert your second letter in the hope that it may be the means of revealing the hiding place of the coveted instrument. The thought of the horror of eternal silence grows upon me as I receive the numerous peti- tions for aids to hearing. It is is a well known fact that the blind are, as rule, happier than the stone deaf. The singu- lar truth speaks for itself
