 by an unusually busy Lent and the looked for Easter season filled. as it always is, with music, weddings and en- tertainments comes the lull, very ap- parent full, with only a few May wed- dings for the braver victims of Cupid s darts and entertainments more or less informal for the brides-elect.

 The departure of so many men for the training camps has left startling big blanks in many invitation lists. and when the boys go, who will have to an- swer the call, the girls will be almost without escorts. Do they grumble and bewail their lot hear you asking? Not our girls. With a splendid courage and cheerfulness equal to the occasion they will adjust themselves to our changed condition and I feel sure will find much pleasure in the purely feminine affairs. Distinctly impressive is the alignment of our men who have set aside careers

William Henry Tolhurst of Casper, Wyo, You remember her. don't you? She Is the sister of lovely Mrs. John Pugh, and is one of the most talented musicians of the state. She has taught for the past few years at Montevallo and will arrive in Bir- mingham shortly and her wedding is to be quite interesting. as there will be several attendants.

He answered and said; ''Oh that is just a package of kimonas." The man clerk evidently didn't under stand or was not well versed on wom- ems wearing apparel. But the fond father said well I guess they must be very perishable, as I usually have to send them every few weeks"
