 We all went to see pretty Virginia White married to Samuel Teague, Jr., at St. Paul's chu oh on Thursday. It was a lovely wedding and all .he girls were at their best, each seeing to wear the colors best suited to her.
 They surely are three eood looking girls in ode family, Mrs. Jack Walton, Mrs Wallace Nall, Jr., and the lovely young bride, Mrs. Samuel Fuller Teague, Jr. Oh, l wonder if she would know herself by that name ere this?
 Speaking of good looks, believe me, Mrs Teagua Jr., will have to look sharp if she wants to continue to be as pretty as the groom's mother. Really, could hardly believe that she had a grown son. for indeed she is one of Bir- mingham's handsomest matrons.
 The week has been gay with the vet erans and their sponsors and maids. The two balls, hear. were wonder fully successful. and were attended by a number of the Birmingham people as well as many visitors who were in the city for the reunion and fair.
 Speaking of the fair, you should have been here to go last week as everybody was there from the grandmother to the tiny baby, and now, MT. Brown, Mr. Ga heen and MT. Burton won't have a thing to complain about as they had crowds, and last, but not the least Ruth Law; in fact, everything to make a good fair.
 Well, there is much to tell you but for fear that this may be too long, 1 will wait and write again soon Until then

l dares to foretell what the coming days may bring forth. As one of the young women of the married set said: Tt surely is likely to be the queerest, if not one of the most interesting, sea- sons we have ever had. But. my dear, so much is certain, the number of Oc- tober brides makes things a bit in- teresting.
 Speaking of brides. l suppose that you have heard of kirkman O'NeaFs marriage to pretty Elizabeth Para more on Tuesday. The wedding took us all wonderfully by surprise and a little bird had told me that plans were under way for the young bride-e elect to go to New York to be married, but Dan Cupid made the way clear, as he ever does, and Ensign ONeal was lucky enough to get few days leave from his boat the Druid, of which he is second in command. He comes of very brilliant and perfectly charm ing family. His father, ex-Governor ONeal. is considered far and near as one of the nations most brilliant speakers and writers Then there is his charming mother and sister Olivia, who complete the little family circle.
 The bride is one of the prettiesr and most popular young women of this city.
 Oh, these soldier boyst They just continue to take our girls away from us. There is dear little Leila Robin son, who married Ashby Long Ca lieu tenant) oh Wednesday evening. He IS truly lucky fellow and we hear that he has quite nice little leave of ab- sence. which. I understand, will be spent here after they return iron. their wedding trip Later they will go to Macon, Ga. where he is stationed with his regiment.

)M M(Y Dear Becky: Society's efforts INVII these days seem for the most
 part centered in comfort pack ages for our soldier boys. You know, my dear, that the Christmas things that we are sending now will only reach their destination in time for the holidays.
 l understand that an almost unani- nous resolution throughout the coun- try is that the home celebrations this season will be curtailed In effort to bring not only comfort but happiness and cheer to our boys who will be in the trenches ere long in France.
 Doesn't it seem to you, my dear, that October and half of November is usi,- ally given over to brides-and it used to be the other half of November and really all of December to debutantes and after that the social deluge.
 Speaking of debutantes, reminds me of what one of our loveliest and most sensible young women said to me. She said; Hattie Highlands, until the world is poured from the war caul- dron the day of debutantes is on the wane, for it seems this year our debu- tante's banquet will be a knitting out fit, her pink tea beau khaki clad hero and her engagement list a series of Red Cross meeting.' She continued. Tt seems to be as much the decision of the young girls eligible for coming out parties as the mothers that things should be simple. Extravagant frivol- ity seems to have died a sudden death and only sensible pastimes are popu- lar with the younger set. But per. haps when the war cloud sails away things will be changed.

SILVER PRICE STRONG
IN VIEW OF DEMAND
AFTER WAR

Silver again displays strength, and
it would occasion little surprise if the
SO-cent point weer passed before June
l. China and India are again buying
literally, and the gold shortage OF
Europe is likely to start heavy ship
ment of the white metal to the war
ring and neutral nations across the
Atlantic. The entrance of America
INTO the struggle means the finances
of the Allies will be greatly aided
by our financiers, and that silver will
be used to greater degree tLan hith-
erto. Prospects for an early peace
in Mexico have gone glirmering and
the menace of a tremendous silver
output from that country has van
'shed. Reports from the European
combatants show that gold reserves
have been greatly depleted, and their
governments will undoubtedly be
forced to coin much silver following
the conclusion of the war.
Zinc and lead are stronger, with cop
per, an from the same causes. Amer
ica will now become a heavy buyer
of both metals, and the Allies are re
ported to be securing figures on the
eve of heavy orders. Lead is be
coming scarce, and it is reported that
the Aemrican Refining and Smelling
Co. is preparing to quote higher
prices.
Tungsten is showing strength at
$3.50 to $l8 per unit, with a posi-
bility that new war demands may
bring better figures. The operators
Of the Boulder district, Colorado, are
striving to bring about better prices
and the curtailed output by Califor-
MIA and Nevada producers should
have salutary effect. Anthony is in
demand at II cents per pound. and
quicksilver has moved up to $85 pei
flask of IS pounds. Platinum has
lately shown many fluctuations, but
shows its greatest strength at $S5 to
sol per ounce, with hard metal pre-
ferred.
