The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-10-23

A marriage of much interest was that of Miss Lillian Brown Monroe, daughter of Rev. S. D. Monroe of Mobile,and Dr. Carl Frederick Kesmodel, first lieutenant officers, medical reserve corps, which took place on Saturday afternoon at the home of the brides sister, Mrs. C. c. Hood on North Highlands.
 The ceremony was performed in the presence of the relatives by Dr. Preston Blake, of the Southside Baptist church.
 Preceding the ceremony, Miss Sara Nallam sang most impressively several beautiful numbers.
 Dr. Kesmodel and his bride left innne- diately for eastern points, after which 1 they will go to Washington to await Dr. ! Kesmoders assignment to active duty.
 The young people were both reared in , Birmingham and have many friends who were deeply interested in their marriage The following letter is being sent to members of the national women's party ] throughout the United States and will be read with interest by many in this city: Now that the special session of Con- gress has closed, we are working for &C., tion in the next session, which opens the ] first week in December.
 We are planning to continue the picket ing of the White House, which has, we believe, been our most effective method of voicing to the administration the pro- test of women against their disfran- ehisement. We are working for a par ticulafiy long picket line on Saturday I November 10. This will probable be the last picket before Congress meets. At the head of the line will be banner asking for action on suffrage upon the ponvening of Congress and urging the 1 President to take up the matter in his message to Congress.
 If we can go to the White House in 1 large numbers on this day, we cannot fail to impress upon the President the seriousness with which women regard their continued disfranchisement. The success of the demonstration depends largely upon the numbers that take part. will you help? We need you urgently.
 All who picket must be prepared for imprisonment, The longestt sentence which can be imposed is six months.
 Hoping that we may have your help, l am, very sincerely yours,
