rsona Items Of Events Washington Homes and in the Clubs

the present mistress Of the White
House chose it for her wedding
gown. The chapel was all done In
pink roses and palms, and the cere-
mony was followed by reception at
the Hotel Washington, and one
gathers that the affair was planned
for "kerridge," or more modernly'
motor company: since the ceremony
and the reception were fuiiy nVe
miles apart.
Yesterday Jean Dalziel Holmes.
daughter OF the late DR.. Joseph Aus
tin Holmes and Mrs. Holmes, became
the bride of Mr.. Donald Tennyson
Stanton. DR.. Joseph Austin Holmes
was very well known in Washington
a few years ago as first director Of
the United States Bureau Of Mines,
who died very soon after he had
gotten the bureau organized and in
good working order. Mr.. Stanton Is
a graduate of Cornell University, In
the class of 1915. He has been an
instructor in military aeronautics at
Cornell this past year.
Also. Rear Admiral and Mrs, Eu-
gene II. Lsutze announce the mar
riage OF their daughter, Marion, to
Commander Gilbert j. Rowcliff, u.
S. N, on Saturday, September 2S,
1915"
One assumes that that was one
OF those hurry-up war weddings, with
orders hanging over the BRIDE
groom. Certainly II is one that is
interesting to naval circles in par
icular, perhaps, since it is a navy
girl marrying into the navy, which
is quite as IL should be-: but II Is
also interesting to Washington in
general, for Marion Leutze has hosts
of friends here, comparatively few of
whom knew that anything of the sort
was contemplated. Except that It
happened at noon yesterday, I don't
know anything about it; and until
Friday I didn't know It was going
to happen. Open confession is good
for the soul, even OF a society editor!

Austrian Hatred for Germany.
The Austrian hatred of Germany

the food crisis. IL is claimed that the
reduction Of the bread ration is due
to the failure of the German govern
ment 10 keep its promise 10 supply
Austria with -four until the new hsr-
vest. This is hotiy denied by the
Germans, who say the assertion rests
on a false Interpretation OF their

territories OF the Ukraine and Ru-

sources was never contemplated. A
things have turned out, very little
corn has been gathered from the con-
C'Iered territories, but Germany can
not be held responsible for this.

but is thoroughly authenticated by
information received here from many
sources. Even in the newspapers.
the professions OF sorrow and SYM

tunes are so worded as to make the
Austrians chuckle and infuriate the
Germans. In the streets and clubs.
unrestrained rejoicing takes place at
American, French and British sue
cesses.
Apparently most people in the dual
monarchy are so desperate for peAce
that they care not who wins the war
or whether their crazy guilt OF an

that the entente will crush the Berlin

beautiful little city of Tupelo ht
would barely know that he had eyel
seen the place before.
Then, none Of the streets from
Main south were opened, except The
narrow part of Church from Main tx
Magazine, but all that part of towr
was fenced in and cultivated The
reason there was a narrow extension
south of Main on Church, when the
owner offered to sell the lot where
Mr.. Clark Strain now lives, the pur,
chaser declined to buy unless street
should be given on the corner, and
finally a compromise was made on a
thirty foot street. Then, only few
scattered houses existed on North
Church, and all that beautiful part
of the city from Madison street west
was grown to cotton and corn, except
the Tom Clark corner and the Allen
lot, and if anyone should wish to
cross Main anywhere from Spring to
the Mobile and Ohio railroad tracks
he would often have to wade IN mud
half way to his knees, and the water
often covered that whole street, with
no drainage whatever. The business
houses generally were old shacks or
what might be properly called tumble
downs" No sidewalks except the
hard earth, and often very difficult to
pass over on account of the mud and
slush.

themselves.
There is one thing wherein Mr.

the kindness and neighborliness of
the people. In the olden time, when

GIVE THE KAISER NO QUARTER

1t is to the United States that you
must give quarters, halves and dol
lars. Later they will be transformed
into something that can be given to
the Kaiser against his will. If you
have quarter lying about loosely,
don't hesitate. Change it into a
stamp and affix it to your Thrift Card.
1t is the steady stream of deposits
INTO banks that keeps the life blood
of trade circulating. In the same
fashion, the steady stream of savings
into the national treasury will keep
the army and navy well clothed, well
fed and we'll armed. Every time you
give a quarter to the War-Savings or
ganization you perform deed that
helps yourself, our fighters and the
cause of humanity.
Every piece of silver is bullet
fired against autocracy.
