iller-Wallace Wedding.

simplicity was the marriage of Miss
Inez Miller to Mr.. Harris Faircloth
Wallace, at Oak Hill, the country
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. w. Miller, October 9Th.
Decorations of yellow autumn flow
ers were used throughout the recep-
ton rooms, where the ceremony was
performed in the presence of the re-
latives and a few intimate friends of
the bride and groom.
Miss Miller was charmingly attired
in blue tricotine travelling suit with
hat and accessories to match. She
was given in marriage by her father,
the ring ceremony being performed
by DR.. J. T.. McCafferty, of Stark
vile Methodist church. Immediately
following, an informal reception was
held, after which Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
lace left in their car for a short bri-
dal tour, en- route to Holly Springs,
Miss, where they will be at home to
their friends after October Goth.

POn1egranates From California

TlHE word pomegranate suggests Bible
times, and Joshua's spies, who brought
huge punches Of grapes and pomegranates to
verify their descriptions Of the marvellous
Promised Land" or it recalls some an
cient Egyptian or Arabian tale in which Il
figured. Or, perchance, we have lived in
one of our own gulf states where the bush
is cherished for its glossy foliage, its Pc
cuIiar scarlet blooms, and, when under most
favorable conditions, its small pinkish
fruit.
But at last a perfect climate in the
United States for its needs has been found
-Tulare county, California. In 1919,
despite war exigencies, forty carloads were
sent out, and the growers cleared FIVE cents
a pound on the new fruit. 1t was the first
season of large return on the experiment Of
several years. A crate of these largest speci-
mems brought the producer $3.50. In the
basket shown in the illustration the smallest
pomegranate weighed twenty five ounces,
the largest twenty seven. No wonder the
young lady smiles at these giants Of their
kind.
Doubtless, ere many years, we Americans
will no longer wonder that the Israelites
rallied at Moses for bringing them up out Of
Egypt Into an evil place where there are
no fgs, no pomegranates and no water to
arfnk." Perhaps We shall come 10 unders

to change a tassel, lest the acoustics get
'busted'?'
Much artistic thought has been spent on
that very problem" Is the answer, "and
that is why you can know the box owner
in one sweeping glance. Always are her
opera gowns of black, or else Of cool me-
tallic cloth. You may recognize the rentee
or the guest by her restless gown, which
competes with the ardent background-snd
of these you may know the decorative woman
by the cloak upon her chair, which shields
her from its burning touch.
"Only in the dance may woman laugh at
hazards of the background. Laughter and
music, kaleidoscope of colors and of types
have become her setting, She herself may
appear in all her glory and intensity"
