 Simplicity and originality charac- terized the arrangements for the wedding of Miss Edith Lois Crane, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Theodore F. Crane of 43 Higgins street and William Edward Green which was solemnized at the home of her par ents at o'clock last evening. On the lawn at the side of the house a bower had been constructed of greenry and decided color note was furnished by the glowing red of the sumach ber- ries. An arch made of the sumach. berries and branches foEgned the set ting under which the pair took their places for the ceremony. Rev. B. F. Kidder of the Newfield M. E. church was the officiating clergyman.
 Miss Crane made a charming bride clad in a wedding gown of delicate grey crepe de chine with pearl and coral trimmings. Miss Cranes only ornament was her engagement ring, an old fashioned diamond cluster which was also the engagement ring of the groom's mother. There were no attendants.
 Miss Crane is a graduate of Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y, where she specialized in commercial art. She has had a studio on West 37th street, New York and has been most success full as a pen and ink illustrator.
 MT. Green, who has been residing at 1109 Central avenue, is an expert guage maker and is one of the heads of his craft at the Remington Arms factory. MT. and Mrs. Green left late in the evening on their wedding trip. They are to go by motor to St. Albans, Maine, where the grooms brother re- ! sides, and will stop at all the places of interest enroute.
 Comparison of the enrollments in the student nurses reserve in differ ent parts of the state shows that some of the other cities are somewhat ahead of Bridgeport. That is all right on the face of it but looking little deeper it is easy to see that when the actual number of applicants finally accepted is disclosed Bridge port will be found to be we'll up in the front rank.
 
 different cities to get applicants. In some, booths are placed along the streets and all of the young women who answer the age requirements are signed up. That is all right as far as it goes and it makes it look as if this particular place was way ahead of it's quota. After the qualifications both physical and mental are considered it is more than likely that this appar- ently big quota will dwindle consider ably.
 The names of those who have en- rolled here have been withheld from | publication for two main reasons, one is the fear of the applicants them selves that they will lose the posi- | tions they TOW hold should their en- ployes learn that they were likely to | lose them within a short time and be- | cause enrolment does not necessarily | mean that the candidate will pass the rigid tests in order to become mem- 1 Der of the student nurses reserve. Some of them may never be called upon to serve, but 1t Is necessary that as large a reserve as possible be ob- tained in case the necessity does arise.
 At the present time 46 young women have signifed their desire to 1 enter this reserve. The campaign still has some days to run and with out a doubt when that time has ex- II pired it will be found that Bridgeport has answered one more call. The re- l cruiting office at the rooms of the War Bureau in the First-Bridgeport National Bank building. at room COP will be open all day Saturday from g in the morning until g in the evening to accommodate those who could not get away from their work at any other time,
