 l An interesting announcement made I here last week was that of the mar riage of Miss Erin Thompson and Mir. Henry Baker of Tuscaloosa The an
 nouncement came as a great surprise
 to the many friends of the young cou- pie in Montgomery. Miss Thompson Is

 son of Montgomery and since her grad uation from the University of Ala bama has been teaching In Tuscaloosa In the public schools. Mir. Baker Is as- sistant health officer in Tuscaloosa. where he has made his home for sev- erai years. although his home is ln Montgomery. The young couple were euietly married at the home of tho orides parents and imm ediately after the ceremony they left for Tuscaloosa where they will make their home. Aithoush it is the season of Lent, sev-
 eral affairs have been given in Mont gomery during the past week. One event
 oI especial interest was the reception
 ana oance gwen at the Standard club Tn honor Of General Zimmerman and oft cers or the Seventy-third brigade. The reception committee was composed of General Zimmerman and the officers of ms stan and some of the most promi- nent men of the city. The wives of the
 members of the governing board also as-
 sisted. Dancing was enjoyed until late hour, after which the guests re-
 paired to the dining room where a de- licious supper was served. The dining

 The dances given at the new Jackson
 club are particularly enjoyable. The club
 Is cool and airy, with splendid dance
 floor, and big looms and halls. Long
 French windows open onto a great veranda, with big swings and hammocks There are beautiful grounds surround ing the place and the spring flowers are now in bloom. This is an ideal place Tor the young people to go for dance on hot summer afternoon and here after they will have the opportunity of doing so every Saturday afternoon. The
 tea dances which were formerly given 1 each Saturday afternoon at the Exchange ! hotel have now been transferred to the Jackson club, and these dances are giv- en each Saturday afternoon in addition to
 the regular membership dances which
 have been given on Saturday nights since
 the opening of the club short while
 ago.
 The local talent in Montgomery con- l tinues to give excellent programmes at the Y. M. c. A. huts at Camp Sheridan One of the most charming programmes which have been given since the estab- lishment of the Y. M. C. A. buildings was given on Tuesday night, and the l programme was in charge of Mrs. E. E.. Cobbs. who gave the soldiers most delightful evening of music and readings. Mrs. Cobbs possesses a sweet voice and
 gave several vocal numbers. She also played the accompaniments for several of the other performers. but the greatest of her contributions to the programme
 were her readings. Mrs. Cobbs reads ex- cellently and charmed the audience with her selections.
 l Mrs. Rapier helped to make the even ing pleasant with her Irish love songs which gave her full opportunity to dis play her lovely voice. Little Bruce Ken nedy pleased the audience very much with his Coon Songs'' and Miss Olivia Kennedy and Miss Daisy Wells also gave several beautiful vocal numbers. Others on the programme were: Mrs. Robert Hannah and Miss Lille May Parker,
 who read several humorous selections,
 and helped to give the audience a pleas
 ant evening. Several of these pro-
 grammes are given each week at the va-
 rious "Y' huts at the camp and 1t helps
 to relieve the monotony and to brighten
 tho life of the soldiers.
