SOCIETY

Oakes-Paee.
A marriage around which centered
the interest of large circle OF
friends was that of Miss Marguerite
Page and Lieut. Albert Fisher Cakes,
which was simply but impressively
solemnized in the First Methodist
church Tuesday afternoon at five
o'clock.
The church was decorated very
uniquely and artstically in flags,
bunting, palms and ferns. The pastor,
Dr. w. B. Kicks, was in army Y. NJ
c. A. uniform, the groom in officers
regalia and the little ring bearer, Mas,
ter Webster Turner was uniformed as
miniture soldier boy. The tableaux
around the altar was very beautiful
and impressive.
Before the ceremony an artistic
musical program was given by Miss
Mary Cooper Boyd, vocalist; Miss
Francis Moore, violinist; and Mrs
Ella Kelly, organist
Promptly at five o'clock to the
strains of Mendelssohn' wedding
march the bridal party entered the
church, led by the four ushers, Rob-
ert Harlan, John Hugh Robertson,
Harry Turner and Ashley Sowell.
Next came the charming young sis
ter of the bride, Miss Albertine Page.
She was gowned in gray georgette
crepe over gray silk with silver and
rose hat, and carried a bouquet of
pink Killarney roses. The dainty lit
tie flower girl, Lenore McFall, dress
ed in white organdy and carrying a
basket of white narcissus and rose
buds, entered next through the left
aisle while her escort, Master Web.
ster Turner, entered the opposite
aisle. He carried the ring in the
heart of an exquisite white lily.
The bride in a becoming modish
blue tailored suit with gray hat, shoes
and gloves, and wearing beautiful
corsage of valley lilies, sweet-peas
and orchids came down the left aisle
on the arm Of her brother, Cannon
Page. They were met at the altar
by the groom and his best man, Ewing
Frakes.
Miss Page is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs N. M. Page and has won
by her beauty of person, Christian
character and charming personality a
host of friends. She is very gifted
reader, and has delighted many au-
diences with her splendid recitals.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Cakes, and has many quail
tiles of sterling manhood. He has
risen in the army by true worth and
merit, and is now, First Lieutenant in
Co. F, 327th Infantry stationed at
Camp Gordon, Atlanta.
Many handsome wedding presents
were received which attested the pop
ularity of this young couple.

PARACHUTE is NOT POPULAR
Aversion to What They Call
"GoIng over the Edge"

"'Going over the edge is the act
Of stepping out of the basket Of a
military balloon from 1000 to 5000
feet up, dropping into space, trusting
10 the parachute to open and check the
descent" says Henry Woodhouse in
Everybody's Magazine.
''When an aviator-allied or Boche
makes a dash for kite balloon and
fires incendlasy bullets into 1t, the OBJ
server or observers-some balloons
having two--hasten to go over the
edge. The friendly anti-aircraft guns

doubt as TO the ACCESSIBILITY Of taking
the step by their volleys--fred against

is so close 10 the balloon that shrap-
mel seem to burst only few feet
from the huge gas bag, the pilot goes

inch antiaircraft batteries popping
shrapnel at them at every opportunity,

panions stretched out wherever they
could find aplace.
Johnnie O'Reilly was elated. Al
ready he could see the hills of Cuba
doing behind their purple wells; in
fancy he felt the fierce white heat from
close-walled streets, and scented the
odors of "mangly" swamps. He heard
the ceaseless signing of the royal
palms. How he had hungered for 1t
all how he had ragged at his delays!
1t had seemed so small matter to
return it had seemed so easy to seek
out Rosa and to save herl Yet the
days had grown into weeks; the weeks
had aged into months. Well, he had
done his best; he had never rested
from the moment of Rosa's first APP
peal. Her enemies had foiled him
once, but there would be no turning
back this time-rather q firing squad
or a dungeon in Cabanas than that.

The old method of supporting fences

been shown TO be wrong in prIn-
ciple. The new system of supporting
fences is to make them or the prln-
ciple Of a fiddlestring, A fiddlestring

that hits it at any point produces
stresses on the string that are trans
mitted to the terminals.

Evening came, then night, and still
the party was jerked along at the tail
of the train without a hint as to its
destination. About midnight those
who were not doing noted that they
had stopped at an obscure pine-woods
junction, and that when the train got
under way once more their own car
did not move. The ruse was now APP

hour, it was doubtful if anyone IN the
forward coaches was aware that the
train was lighter by one car.
There was a brief delay; then a To-

coupled up to the standing car, and
drew it off upon another track. Soon
the excursion party" was being rushed
swiftly toward the coast, some twenty
miles away.

CHAPTER XIII.
The City Among the Leaves and the
City of Begears.

! ne City among tne Leaves ana me
City of 5egqars.
The night was moonless and warm.
An impalpable haze dimmed the star
glow, only the diffused illumination of
the open sea enabled the passengers
of the Fair Play to identify that
blacker darkness on the horizon ahead
of them as land. Major Ramos was on
the bridge with the captain. Two men
were taking soundings in a blind
search for that steep wall which forms
the side of the old Bahama channel.
When the lead finally gave them warn
ing, the Fair Play lost her Roadway
and came to a stop, rolling lazily.
Major Ramos spoke in low tone
from the darkness above, calling for a
volunteer boats crew to reconn9iter
and to look for an opening through the
reef. Before the words We're out Of
his mouth O'Reilly had offered him
self.
Ten minutes later he found himself
at the steering oar of one of the ships
lifeboats, heading shoreward. There
was a long nights work ahead; time
passed, and so O'Reilly altered his
course and cruised along outside the
white water, urging his crew to lustier
strokes.
A mile-two miles-it seemed like
ten to the taut oarsmen, and then a
black hiatus of still water showed In
phosphorescent foam. O'Reilly ex-
plored 1t briefly; then he turned back
toward the ship. Soon he and his crew
were aboard and the ship was cropping
her way toward the break in the reef.
Meanwhile, her deck became scene
of feverish activity; out from her hold
came cases of ammunition and medical
supplies; the fieldpiece on the bow was
hurriediy dismounted; the small boats,
! of which there was en- extra number,
were swung out, with the result that
when the Fair Play had maneuvered
as close as she dared everything was
in readiness.
O'ReilIv took the first load through,
and discharged it upon sandy beach.
Every man tUmbled overheard ana
waJed ashore with packing case; he
dropbed this in the sand above high
tide mark. and then ran back for an
other. It was swift, hot work. From
the darkness on each side came the
sounds of other boat crews similarly
engaged.
DAYLIGHT was coming when the last
boat cast off and the Fair Play, with
boarse. triumphant blast of her
whistle. faded into the NORTH her part
fl the expedition at an end.
Dawn showed the voyagers that they
were indeed fortunate, for they were

as thew could see, both east and west
the reef was unbrOken. Men were

WHY
1t Is Necessary to Use
Wheat Sparingly

Relaxation of some of the restrie-
tons on wheat is by no means equiv
alent to general assurance that pros
poets of a good harvest have done
away with the need of continued CON
servation. A resolution passed by the
allied food controller representing
France, Italy, Great Britain and the
United States makes 1t clear that
economy must be practiced for a long
time to come, for the food problem
cannot be administered on the basis of
one year of war. In addition to elm
mating waste it is necessary to in
crease production.
The department of agriculture, In
urging the farmers to plant more
wheat, is helping the cause of the
allies, This is the opportnne time for
emphasizing the Importance of re-
serve supply of wheat. Increase OF
acreage is one way Of obtaining wheat
for the emergency, and the govern
ment cannot put the question too
strongly to the farmers-tl billion bush
els In 1919 will not allow an unreason-
ably large reserve stock And while
the FARMERS are blowing and sowing.
the rest of us can help by using corn,
rye and other cereals--not pound of
wheat should be consumed If substi-
tute will meet the needs of the family,
for even If the end of the war were
in sight, normal conditions In the food
markets cannot he restored In one or
two years.-Proyidenee Journal.
