trial and have been greatly benefited.

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women Whe
Have shared II.
by MARY MARSHALL.

Hello, you Custer boy!" these were
the first words that were passed be-
tween George Custer. the noted Indian
fighter and civil war soldier. and lit
tie Libby Bacon. who later became his
wife. Libby was a wee lass at the
time and Custer was barely in his
teens. She was a dark-eyed little
Southern girl~and there was a chal-
lenge in her words that Custer never
forgot In fact, he later said that at
the time he first saw Elizabeth Bacon
he made q boyish vow that she would
some day be his wife.
1t was many years before they met
again, and in the meantime George
Custer. though he never forgot the
image of the pretty dark-eyed girl in
the South, had won Tor himself the
reputation of being quite a desperate
flirt He was graduated from West
Point when he was 22 Nand. starting
out the very next year. with the out
break of the civil war, in the practice
of actual warfare, he Inquired as quite
hero. His youth and good looks,
coupled with his bravery and his
dashing manners naturally attracted
much attention.
When Betty was II and Custer was o
they met again. And Custer renewed his
vow to make the arch little beauty his
wife. But she was not in the least dis
posed to yield to him, and her father,
Judge Bacon, was quite opposed to look
ing at the young soldier as a possible
son-in-iaw. For one thing, Clusters repu-
tation as a iirt has gone before him, and
Betty had been brought up in the most
Puritanical of households.
Naturally 1t was not long before Betty
yielded and promised to consider Clusters
suit. Judge Bacon absolutely forbade an
engagement, however, and the young SOL
dier, at that time much taken up with
his part in the Richmond campaign. hal
to exercise the greatest tact and patience.
He might have induced Betty to elope
with him. for her heart was his, but he
loved her too well. He preferred to bide
his time and eventually win the judges
consent.
Apparently his methods were effective
for 1t was not long before there was an
open engagement and at the time of the
wedding there seems not to have been
any parental objection to speak of. The
wedding was a very spectacular event,
as the boy general with the golden
locks" as he was called in the news
papers, led the dark, vivacious beauty
to the altar. She was a timid, childlike
bride. people said who saw the wedding,
and he was all that any soldier husband
ought to be. tall, straight fearless and
eXultant.
Allcr INC H1hrTldee II was IdDpy turn
TO show patience. for her husband was
in the thick of the fight and it was only
by risking the perils of the front that
she was able to be with him. She was
somewhat criticised for this unusual pro-
cedure, but her husband urged her to
be with him and she more than willingly
followed him through his campaigns
when that was possible. On one event
she made the whole trip from Richmond
to Washington on horseback with her
husbands troops.

ECONOMY CALENDAR
For the vaIen6se's Spread.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Whether or not you are giving st.
Valentines party, you will want to con-
trive some bits of culinary skill In honor
Of the day. II we have turkey and cram
berry sauce for Thanksgiving and plum
pudding for Christmas we should also
have one or two dishes on February u in
honor Of the patron saint who presides
over lovers young and old.
A heart-shaped cutter that can be
bought at almost any kitchen furnishing
store for about 10 cents Is weli worth
while to have. With this you can make
lovely tarts-such as the queen OF hearts
must have, made in "Alice in Wonder
land" For them you will need to make
some good short pie paste and when 1t is
rolled out you should cut 1t into heart
shapes. For each single heart shape also
cut another heart shape In the middle
OF which you should cut circle with the
top of a pepper box. Moisten the solid
pieces slightly around the edge lay In
baking tin and on top Of each place one
of the other pieces. Bake to a light golden
brown, and cool Thep fill with raspberry
Jam. If you want to make them especially
attractive after putting in the jam add
a generous dab of meringue. Put them
back in the oven and brown slightly.
With the same cutter you can make
doughnuts that puff into beautiful round
hearts. Sandwiches are nice when cut
In heart shapes. You should cut the bread
thin and then cut pieces out with the cut
ter. Put filing of cream cheese and
nuts, or some favorite sandwich filling
between the two pieces and put together
1eatly.
Small party cakes are especially appro-
pirate to st. Valentines day when baked
In heart shape tins, but II you have none
OF these on hand you can get very good
effect by making the cakes In the usual
tins and after you have frosted them,
decorating them with heart-shape pieces
OF angelica or candied fruits.
II you are ingenious you can make q
rather large heart from stiff pasteboard
say one about three or four inches
across. With a sharp knife you can cut
pieces of fairly thick bread from this pat
tern, using the leftover pieces for bread
crumbs of scalloped dishes later on. These
pieces should be toasted and used as the
foundation for creamed chicken or some
other creamed dish, instead of the usual
patty shells.
From time out OF mind pink and red
have been associated with st. Valentines s
day, so to carry out your scheme you
should have all table decorations of one
Of those colors.

Baltimore, Feb. a-The aroma Of buns,
Just ordinary breakfast buns, permeated
the hrst-door rooms of the Northwestern

everybody within smelling distance

Everybody wanted to sample the buns,
but, being police property because the
owner is as yet unknown, theN couldn't

buns-fve dozen of them-was found early
this morning on the front steps of a
house in the 100 block of North Gilmor
