On either side were Latosea baskets filled with white chrysanthe- nuns The effect was most attractive and the lights from the tall cathedral candles cast a soft glover over the scene, making it a beautiful and appro- priate background for the wedding tab leaux.
 The Chalifouxs rendered the wedding and to the sweer strains of Lohengrm $ march the wedding party entered, com ing down the broad stairway on the last stroke of s. which was chimed by the tall hall clock, through an aisle made of gar lands of roses and smilax held by Mai Ravee Norris Of Washington and MT George Bentley.

iSOCIALAND CLUB NEWS AND ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN

Foul sector There the Salvationists received their intensive training; then there was only the First division and the Fifth and sixth marines. We were 25 miles behind the firing line, but, of course. when the troops moved up in January, 1918, we were right with them and there we remained until the very end. There were only 300 Salvationists over there altogether during the war and yet as Burton Holmes said of us, there seemed to be 5000. the work we did was so tremendous, and every mo- ment we lived was thrilling.
 We didn't know we were doing any thing remarkable until we got home" Captain Halpin continued. We didn't do any talking about what we were do- ing; we didn't have time; the boys did the talking.
 Our 1assies worked faithfully and cooked for the soldiers with might and main," said Captain Halpin. "One girl I recall made 5000 doughnuts and, stopping as she did, her back was so tired and weary that she got down on her knees to cook the rest. Adjutant Purviance made the first doughnuts that were made in France, and the French soldiers nicknamed her-or. pIdYcu uPol ncr name ana Cdlieu her Madame Purveyor.' She was the lassie who one day while the men were filing down the line before her to get their portion of doughnuts suddenly found herself hugged very tight in the arms of a great. stalwart soldier and kissed her very affectionately, when all at once the other fellows wanted to jump on the soldier who was taking such liberties with the lassie and lick him. But she looked up in the soldiers face and found that it was her own brother. You can imagine her aston- ishment and that of the soldiers when they discovered their mistake.
 "The doughnuts, which will ever. be associated with the part the Salvation army played during the war" said Captain Halpin, "as I remarked be- fore, were only symbols; the cup of cold water given to Him, was repeated in the kindness shown to the soldiers in this material way which we origi- mated during the war times
 q cannot refrain just here from say ing a word about our hoste1s. and after the war work among the returned men,"

NEWS FROM
 FORMER VISITOR

The many friends in this city Of charming Miss Jessica Randolph Smith of North Carolina, who visited MT. and Mrs. Joseph Riddick Estes, few year sago, will be interested Tn the following news of this accomplished young woman from the Henderson (N. O Daily Dispatch of recent date, which says:
 Miss Jessica Randolph Smith of Henderson, now stationed in the navy department in Washington, D. C., IS spending her leave in the city as the guest in the home of MT. and Mrs. A. C. Zollicoffer.
 Hmm ediately after war was declared Miss smith responded to the call of her country, and was the first woman from Vance county to tender her services to the government She was accepted, passing both the physical and mental examinations, and was at once assigned to duty in the Fifth naval district, at Norfolk, Va. She soon won promotion to the rank of chief poeman, and thus rendered efficient and valuable service during the entire period of the war
 "After the armistice was signed, she was transferred to the general head quarters of the navy department at Washington, D. C., and there placed In charge of important work in the office of the paymaster general of the navy where she enjoys to the fullest extent the confidence and esteem of her su- perior officers.
 Her many friends here and else where in the state will be glad to know she has recently passed, with much credit to herself, the general civil serv- ice examination, thus better equipping herself to serve the government in still more important positions, and quail flying for early and further well earned and deserved promotion."

Staff Captain William HdLpin

nR0N N 1tTH s25,OOO (borrowed W NAV money seven men and four
 V V women, the Salvation Army started it's work in France. We then borrowed s10O.O0O and before we ever made a doughnut for the soldiers we were in debt s125,ooO."
 Staff Captain William Halpin. the naval and military secretary of the Salvation Army war work, with head quarters in Philadelphia, made this in- teresting statement yesterday after noon when he was talking to me about his work overseas during the war.
 Captain Halpin spent year in France with the soldiers, was one of the pioneer Salvationists who went over, being. among the first half dozen, and was on the firing line in many thrilling adventures with the American soldiers.
 His fife in France was just one dar- ing event after another. Never dull moment; never an idle moment, but al- ways pressing forward, doing his bit along with the other splendid officers of the Salvation Army who did such valiant work.
 Staff Captain Halpin has been dis tinguished visitor to Birmingham for the past few days on his tour of in- spection throughout the Atlantic coast province, which includes IS states in It's itinerary
 Besides being a valiant soldier in the Salvation Army, Captain Haplin is an eloquent speaker and an accomplished m usician. He plays the trombone well and his "Concertina" was one of the joys of 1the soldiers during the war times. They named this instrument The come to me, go from me-" and they addressed the genial captain by the af- fectionate title of Dad"
 Many is the time when skies looked bluest and the old world seemed to be going to rack and ruin, did Captain Haplin brighten the long evenings and the unrestful days for our soldier boys lover there"
 It was rather like getting back home for Captain Halpin to get back to Bir- mingham as he served for quite a long period here, being the predecessor of the beloved Major William Quirk.
 "I always say that the doughnut was merely a symbol with the Salvation Army" said Captain Halpin, continuing our conversation relative to the tre- mendousi indebtedness of the Salvation Army before they ever made single one of these nice. cakes. Before the lassies put the doughnuts into the grease they put grace into their hearts"
