I note that the modes Of autumn and

single to simple luxury. Velvet and
fur is a combination much in favor.

SECOND LIEUTS.
MAY SOON WEAR
SHOULDER BARS
Hawaiian Department Officers
Interested in Report
of New Plan

Young officers in the Hawaiian de
partment are much interested n il
report from Washington that plan f"t
changing the insignia so as TO allow j
Distinguishing bar on the shoulders 0t
second lteutenants is being considered
by the war department.
The plan which is said 10 be under
consideration by the war department
IS t1 have second licutenants wear one
bar first lieUtenants two bars. and
captains three bars. This viii mean
that first lieutenants and captains will
add one bar 20 those already worn.
1t is said that no change Is being
considered for the present for officers
OF higher rank in shOuldcrstrap insIG
MIA. though a radical change has been
service overcoats.
In allowing the second lieutenants s
10 wear one bar, more status with ell
listed men would be given, it is
argued. It is probable that all second
lisutenants will approve of the plan.
One of the main reasons for the pro-
posed change is that these officers
wear no insignia Of rank. So many
enlisted men wear leather leggins that
officers are not easily distinguishablc.
Those in favor OF the change argue
that the captains could easily wear
three bars. and point to the foreign
method to verify this assertion. The
plan also would mean that second
lieutenants would be saluted more
punctually. Much complaint has
reached the war department on that
score.
II Is true that the uniform Of the
second lieutenant is almost bashfui
in It's simplicity.
Second lieutenants now wear the
overcoat without scrolls en- the
sleeve.
The major would wear one broad
solid band on the oVercoat sleeve.
broad and one small band and colo
nels two broad bands and two small
ones.
The advisabiIity OF this method is
shown by the fact that ii is hard to
distinguish at glance more than
three scrolls. 1t is almost an optical
impossibility:
Adjutant General Mccain recently
issued an order for army field clerks
and field clerks OF the Quartermaster's
corps which would seem to speak in
favor OF the insignia plan for second
lieutenants.
This order was to the effect that
the clerks are to wear the uniform
OF officers without insignia of rank
and the brown band on the arm Of
service coats. Cords for service hats
are Of black and silver. The collar
insignia are crossed quilts and pens,

Chambers-Zeigler

At high noon today, Miss Frances
Chambers and Mr.. Jacob Alonzo
Zeigler, of Gainesville, were married
at the Hyde Park Methodist church
by Rev L. NJ. Broyles- The wedding
was very quiet and informal affair:
only the immediate family and a few
close friends witnessing the cere-
mony.
The church was cool for this sum-
mer day with quantities of palms,
these being the only decoration. The
bridal music was in charge of Mrs.
E. H. Hart, who played can Enchant-
ing Dream" and "a Love Song" as
the guests assembled.
The bride was charming in her
travelling costume, a natty dark blue
suit with hat, shoes and other acces-
series in gray, with which she wore a
corsage bouquet of white roses and
lilies of the valley. She entered with
her parents and was met at the altar
by the groom and Rev. Broyles. AS
the marriage vows were spoken, Mrs.
Hart softly played Dvorak's beautiful
"Humoresque," and to the glad
strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
March," the couple left the church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zeigler left today for
a honeymoon trip to parts unknown
after which they will be at home in
Gainesville.
Mrs. Zeigler is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. W. J. Chambers, and
young woman of wonderful strength
of intellect and character, has been
prominent in all civic movements that
tend toward uplift and public welfare.
The art of telling a story glowingly
and Interestingly in the gift of few
but Mrs. Zeigler has endeared herself
to Tampa kiddies and grown-ups, too,
by her inimitable way of making
things in the story-land vivid and
real She is indeed cultured and
charming.
Mr.. Zeigler is connected with the
GameSVllIe Sun ana is young man

ness of one of Tampa's finest girls
