A quiet wedding took place Sunday morning at l0:45 o'clock at the par sonage of the Harbet Avenue Chris tian church, when Miss L0Ia Simms, Of Nicksbu.g, Miss became the bride of John II. McCrary, of Forrest City, Ark, the Rev. W. II. Trice, offciat- ing.

 Among the friends of the young couple who were present during the ceremony were: Miss Mamie William, of Jackson, Miss; Mrs NJ. c. Nc Crary, Miss Ibbie and MT. James B. McCrary, of Forrest City, Ark, and MT. and Mrs. ]. II. Steinberger, Mrs. w. II. Trice, Mrs. Elegram and Carl Barrett, of Memphis. - Commercial Appeal
 The happy young people arrived home Tuesday and The Times Is in- formed will begin housekeeping at once in new residence which the groom and his father completed a short time since, near the family home, about one mile west of the city. Several months ago when the McCrary home was invaded by ty- phoid fever, Miss Lola Simms, who is trained nurse, came out from Mem- phis to attend and care for the afflicted ones during their confinement, and handsome John, although he quickly recovered from the effects of the ty- phoid, never did get over the wound that Cueid's dart left in his heart, and the sparkling eyes and happy dis position of the pretty trained nurse fingered with him and haunted him, even after she had returned to the Bluff City. John made frequent visits to Memphis. He wrote numerous letters and always it was the charming Miss Lola whom he was seeking and towards whom his ardent attentions were directed. As stated above, John had recovered from the typhoid, but something was ailing him from which nothing but smile or an endearing word from the lovely Miss Simms, would bring relief Thus it was that our young friend wooed and won the charming little lady who returned to the city Tuesday as his bride and The Times hastens to join their many friends and relatives in hearty congratulations and good wishes for a long and happy life

THE HOUSEWIVES UNIFORM.

The first vexing question that presents
itself to the housewife every morning
is the question Of dressing for her work.
Like many other problems, this one
would be solved If the situation were
once worked out Systematically.
The working housewife, like the nurse
or the soldier. should have a uniform.
In these days Of One-piece frocks. the
housewives uniform is easily chosen. In
other days, when it was no unusual
thing to see young woman working in
the kitchen in an old shirt waist and
the skirt to her street suit, cotton one
piece frock for housework was more or
less unusual But today the shops are
full Of them and the pattern books have
patterns for them by the dozen.
So let the housewife choose a service
able color. fabric and pattern, and then
let her set about making or buying uni
forms for herself. In a year she will
more than save their price in the wear
and tear on other clothes, and her daily
question of morning dress will be for
ever solved.
Light blue and pink chambray ging-
ham can be chosen for the. housewives s

Your Oriental Rugs.

The province Of the vacuum clean
er is to remove every particle of dust
and it truly fulflls it's mission. but
if there are grease or other spots on
main as before and the good house
keeper is not pleased to see them.
The following simple method will
remove spots and bring out the rich
floor where il belongs. removing every
thing from on top of it. Make a lath-
er of some good naphtha soap in luke
warm water. Take an, old Turkish
and rub the rug vigorously, being
careful not to rub against the nap.
You will see the dirt of the rug COM
ing off on the towel, but not any of
the dirt from the towel, dip again in
the suds and continue rubbing until
no dirt will come OF. When all the
surface has been gone over. take luke
out, and go over the entire rug until
no sign of suds is left. Then leave
the rug undisturbed till dry.
- II the rug is fri9ged. the fringe
delicate, but can be easily cleaned by
dipping a handful of fringe at a time
in basin filled with the suds--held
on the lap while sitting on a foot
quite clean. Avoid as far as possible
wetting, the rug. The fringe should
be washed first and then spread out
straight on the floor until thoroughly
or vanished floor. newspapers could
be placed smoothly beneath the
fringe. This is worth trying when an
oriental rug needs cleansing. as It

conscious feeling that the rug is clean
from a sanitary point Of view is a sat

Should a Woman Dres, for Men?

Women dress for each other and not
for men, and that is the trouble with
women's dressing nowadays" So spoke
Miss Elsa Ryan in her talk on womans
dress, published in yesterdays woman's
Herald.
This is the sort OF statement that is
sure to lead TO discussion, and in the
Office Of the Woman's Herald there have
been various interesting expressions OF
opinion. OF course, every man who read
Miss Ryan's statement agreed with her,
for it is always perfectly apparent to
every man that the only sensible cri-
terion Of woman's dress is masculine
taste.
Ever since our far-away savage fore
mothers first decked themselves out in
furs and feathers and painted their faces
With the juice Of wild berries. the men
of the race have been convinced that
their taste was the only real criterion of
woman's dress. But the question has
never been satisfactorily settled so far
as women are concerned.
Miss Ryan says, TO substantiate her
theory, that all the famous designers of
the Rue de la Paix, in Paris. are men.
but there may be one objection to her
argument. These Partisan fashion Gre
ators have made a deep and careful
study of womens dres; they are
masters of line and color; they are
artists in every sense Of the word. The
avarara man gives little serious thought
to the subject and knows infinitely less
than the average woman on the sub
ject of harmonious dressing.
Another objection that has been put
forward is that the average man really
doesn't know what he does like in the
way of women's clothes. You can al
ways depend on it that he will say that
he dislikes the prevailing mode. The
type of hats in fashion at the minute
is, from the average mans point of view,
always an absurdity. He persistently
harks back to the modes Of several sea-
sons ago-to the mode worn when he
married his wife-to the mode worn
when girls really dressed like girls
We are all familiar with that point Of
view. And if a man actually does ad-
mire the prevailing fashion he hasn't
the courage TO admit it.
Such are some of the objections to
the statement that women should dress
to suit the masculine taste that have
been heard in the office of the Womans
Herald today.

HOROSCOPE.

The stars incline but do not compel"
Saturday, November Fl, 1914.
Venus rules strongly for good in the
early hours today. Astrology finds that
later the planet changes to evil aspect.
while Mars is also adverse.
According to the reading of the stars
American women are to feel the power OF
Mars when in malefic sway. Much COM
petition in all vocations is foretold but
out OF great exigencies will grow large
achievements.
Actors. singers. painters and sculptors
should benefit in the morning They have
the prognosticatiOn of prosperous days
after the new year is becoming old.
There is a prophecy that the United
States will become the new center OF
artistic life and that music will claim
serious attention from the nation
Theaters are unde. a government OF tho
stars. which presages many changes in
the personnel Of managers and players.
The outlook is not good for American
actors this month or next. but there Is
promise of ultimate gain in the develop
ment OF new forces now at work.
Under this sign preparers Of medicine
are DeueNtQ 10 prosper mere - = pre-
diction that American chemists are to
win fame and fortune.
Fame for a woman who will dictate the
fashions is prophesied. but whether she
will succeed as 4 designer or merely a.
a denonstrator OF modes is not made
plain by the seeTs.
Astrologers who read the signs for
South America find little forecast OF
rapidly increasing trade with the United
States. which will be slow to utilize op-
portunity, it is declared. Bankers are
subject to planetary sway which Is said
to indicate obstacles and problems Of
grave character.
Socialism is well aspected. It will
gather astonishing power. the seers de-
clare. owing to a still-unwritten page Of /,
history, which is to change public opIn-
ion.
Persons whose birthdate Il is have tha ,
augury OF rather a prosperous year.
There is a warning against possible in
discretion in dealings with persons OF
opposite sex.
Children born on this day are likely
to enjoy life. Boys should be successful
in whatever vocations they choose. Girlal
probably will be great bellies.
