Beck

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. F. W.
Larner on 22nd street, Washington, D.
c.. was the scene of a pretty wedding
Thursday last when their daughter,
Margaret Louise. became the bride of
Mr.. August G. Beck of New York city.
Only near relatives and a few inti-
mate friends witnessed the ceremony,
which was performed by Rev. Enoch
Thompson of St Paul's Protestant
Episcopal Church. where the bride has
been identified with the Sunday school
and other activities of the parish.
The going-away gown of the bride
was modish black and white small
check, with hat of French blue satin
and chip. A cluster of Parma violets
and sweet peas completed a chic cos
tune.
After a wedding journey, Mr.. and
Mrs. Beck will be at home to their
friends at 1409 l. street northwest.

n he idea originated with Bunch
Jefferson. You can always count
on Bunch having a few freak ideas in
the belfry where he keeps his butter
lies.
Bunch and his wife. Alice. live out
in Westchester county, about half a
mile from Uncle Peters bungalow.
where friend wife and are spending
the winter
The fact that Uncle Peter and Aunt
Martha had decided to give us party
was the inspiration for Bunch's bril-
liant idea.
Listen, John" he macchiayellied:
mot one of this push out here knows
a thing about the tango. Most OF them
have foolish idea that it's a wicked
institution invented by the devil who
sold his patent rights to the Evil-Do-
ers association. Now, I'll tell you
what we'll do, John: Well put them
wise. Wen take about two lessons
from a good instructor In town and on
the night of the party wen make the
hit of our lives teaching them all to
tango Are you James to the possibil-
ities?"
1T listens like a good spiel"
agreed: but viii couple of lessons
be enough for u.s."
Sure. he came back: we're not
a couple of Patsys with the pump!
We can learn enough in two lessons to
make good in this boob community
Why. wen start a tango craze out
here that will put life and ginger in
the whole outfit and presently they'll
be putting up statues in our honor"
Wen, TO make long story lose its
cunning, we made arrangements next
day with key Schwartz. dancing in

this modern home-wrecking PROPOSE
ton known as the tango. and paid him
in advance the sum of 800
Il seemed to me that a hundred iron
men in advance was nifty little price
for two lessons, but Bunch assured me
the price was reasonable on account of
the prevalence OF rich scholars willing
to divide their patrimony with any
body who could teach their feet to
behave in time to the music
We made an appointment to meet

him how her brothnr's wife was cured
when Bunch interrupted loudly by ask,
ing after Uncle Peters health.
Never better" answered Aunt
Martha. He has spent all the morn

for. our little party. He insists upon
having the Virginia Reel, the old-fash-

you think these modern dances are

Poor key looked repHoachfully at
the old lady second, then with gath.
ering astonishment he slid silently
on the chair and struck the floor with
bump.
Aunt Martha was so ratified over
this unexpected effort ON Mr..
Schwartz's part that she. upset her
coffee and key got most of 1t in the
back OF the neck
When peace was finally restored the
old lady came to the surface with an
envelope which had been lying on the
table near her plate.

asked. and then arranging her
glasses, read with great deliberation:

looked at me and then at Bunch and
