CHILD
in VIRGINIAN'S Home
Joseph c. Mohler. Centerville Farmer,
Deserves Roosevelt's Praise.

One ardent admirer and consistent dis
eiple of Rooseveltian principles is JAS
per c. Mohler, farmer living at Cen
teryille, Fairfax County, virginia, whose
wife recently presented him with a
healthy young son.
The new arrival is the twenty-seeond
child who has blessed the Mehler home
during the past forty years and although
several of the children have died, enough
of them bearing the Mohler name have
gone forth from the little village to es-
tablish a family tree which bids fair
to rival the proportions of the famous
Gen. Sherman tree in California.
In these days Of market quotations
showing skyrocket prices Of all foodstufs
the record of Mr.. MohleT is all the more
remarkable, but as he says. the old
family pantry will always yield a meal
when 1t is supported by fertile Virginia
soil. from which enough food can be
garnered to supply a regiment.
Mr.. AohIer fought in the civil war and
in many Of the sdrmishes he was tread
Ing on land directly adjacent to his home,
which is but a few miles from the IA
nous Bull Run battlefield.
About the hardest problem he has been
up against, according to his statement,
was thai, of providing suitable names
for his progeny, but the many new names
that have been coined in the past few
years have even solved that difficulty:
| lie has been married twice and his
present wife is the embodiment of health.
Although he has surpassed the records
in this respect of the other members
of his family. they have not been lax.
His mother had thirteen children, a
brother and sister five each, and two
other sisters three each. Mr.. Mohler
Is also the grandfather Of fourteen.
At one time during the life Of his
mother it would have been possible to
gather together more than 100 members
of the Mohler family.

hid her features from the curious
gaze of the public.
Her hat was very small, so she
did not have to remove it during the
run of the picture, but simply raised
her veil, disclosing very lovely fea-

their cast.

Burdic- Wedding.

Prettiest of all the late June we'd
dings was the marriage of Miss Ida
Rowena Darlow and Mr.. Lloyd Delos
Burdic, which was celebrated Tuesday
evening at 7:30 o'clock at the home OF
the brides mother, Mrs. Alfred Oar,
low. Rev. T. ]. Mackay of All Saints
church read the marriage lines to the
soft strains of harp music.
The Darlow home was transformed
into a rose bower of pink and white.
plentifully garlanded with ropes OF
smilax and here and there an indi-
vidual touch of blue, either in lark
spur or bowls of blue pansies. The
ceremony was performed in the IL
brary, where members OF the family
were gathered before the fireplace,
which was banked with palms and
ferns, studded with pink roses. .
The bride was gowned in white silk
net over net, the foundation being OF
silk, trimmed with duchess lace and
lace which the brides mother had
worn on her wedding day. The gown
was made short and full with flounces
of duchess lace and with a long satin
train lined with Georgette crepe, the
bodice cut "V" neck with long sleeves
of silk net. The bridal veil was of
white silk net fashioned with an up
standing frill in the back, held close
to the hair with band of the silk net
and with lilies of the valley. A shower
of lilies of the valley and brides roses
formed the bridal bouquet. A diamond
cavalier, presented by the bridegroom,
was the only ornament worn.
Miss Dorothy barlow, the brides
sister, and her only attendant, wore
dainty pink taffeta frock made quite
short and caught up in puffs at the
side to give the bouffant effect. The
bodice and sleeves were made in the
ruffled effect. Her hair was bound
with a pink Roman band and she car
ried an arm bouquet of pink roses.
Mrs. Darlow, who gave the bride
away, looked as youthful matron
as ever performed that service. Mrs.
Darlow was gowned in handsome
black Georgette crepe and satin gown
made over white accordian pleated
satin, en- traine. The bodice was of iri-
descent seuqins, one shoulder yelled
