Mr.. Lloyd George went on, the enemy

NEW MARRIAGE SETTING
POPULAR IN NEW YORK

At one of the prettiest weddings
of the season, a. church wedding at
an exclusive suburb near New York
City, the ushers were all girl friends
of the bride, the friends of the
groom-who was married in his uni
form-being absent at the front or
in camp. The church was decorated
with palms and lily of the valley and
eight pretty ushers wore frocks of
white and green chiffon. The brides
maids were in pale green and hello
trope, the maid of honor in hello
trope shading to mauve. 1t was a
striking and beautiful color scheme
and the ushers accomplished their
duties as gracefully and success
fully that it is very probable there
will be many other wartime we'd
ding with all the bridal party, save
best man and groom, of feminine
persuasion.-Exchange.

KEEP UP THE HIGHWAYS.

This is not time for a letting up
Of highway construction and main
tenance. The nation has never been
in such need of good highways and
connecting roads as now. AS the
war goes on, more and more of our
transportation will have to be done
by motor truck. The army supply
and transport service and postal SER
vice both require, to a constantly in
creasing degree, an unbroken chain
of %interurbau communications.
Poor highway surfacing and
grading mean increased cost of mo
tive power, costly wear and tear on
valuable equipment, and expensive
delays.-Dupont Magazine.
