to inquire whether Strawberries OF

Jane realized that her mother did

She caught a sidelonG glance

Jane poured syrup instead OF
cream on her Strawberries. There
was no doubt about the fact that
she was far from sthe material

mother cried.
Jane giggIed and then looked
again at the young man. He was

was a married man. and was mere =

could tell?
Then came the finger bowls. af-

MISS HELEN ROMER
- BECOMES BRIDE

The marriage of Miss Helen
Mary Romer. daughter of Mrs.
Christine NJ. Romer. to Chester F.
Mcpherson took place Wednesday
morning at Christ Church. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
William Curtis White in the pres
ence of a small gathering of rela-
tives and friends.
The bride wore a gown of tan
Canton crepe with hat to match
and carried a bouquet of orchids.
Miss Freda G. Romer, sister of the
bride, attended her and wore a
gown of Alice blue Canton crepe
with hat to'match. The best man
was, Arthur H. Romer, brother of
the bride. A buffet luncheon was
served at the. home Of the bride,
after which Mr.. and Mrs. McPher-
son left for an extended trip
through the North. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcpherson will be at home, 112o f
street southeast, after May 20. !.

material and labor. but II also per-
mits the planning of the rest OF
the backyard as a unit and not as
several small patches too small to
be of value.
Privacy is coming to mean more
in garden landscaplng. so that in
stead of there being no fence or an
open wire fence between houses.
hedges and other, shrubbery are now
being planted just Inside and along
the lot lines. No backyard is COM
plete without its vegetable garden.
and this can be planted alongside
the garage. Here, too, should be
provided a place to stretch the
prosaic clothes line. A narrow strip
Of cement walk from which to hang
the clothes will be appreciated by
the servantless housewife.
Coming toward the house, a sim
pie and inexpensive vineclad pergola
built just this side of the vegetable
garden has great artistic merit and
will provide the esthetic feature
to hide the commonplace vegetable
garden and family wash from view.
A sundial or bird bath and garden
seat of concrete are inexpensive
decorations worth many times their
intrinsic value in beautifying the
lawn between the pergola and the
house itself. A little concrete lily
pond, of course. adds distinction to
such a scheme.
Now for the house itself. The fire
place Is real-a place to take the
chill out of the rooms in early fall
and late spring, and a source of
great satisfaction at all times. The
davenport in front of it can be
swung around against the wall to
make a bed for the weekend
visitor.
The breakfast alcove in the
kitchen win be appreciated by the
housewife in the small family, as
the dining table need not be set
except on occasions.
The old fashioned. hard-to-tidy
pantry is eliminated in this plan
and in place of it we have built-in
pantry cases.
Running down to the basement
we find a laundry. well-lighted fruit
storage room. and the furnace and
coal rooms. Each of the latter are
closed in with masonry walls to
the ceiling, and danger of the
spread of fire is further guarded
against by using metal lath and
plaster ceilings to protect the un-
derside of the first-foor joists.
Two bedrooms. averaging IL by
Is feet. and the bathroom are snug
gled under the roof without crowd
ing.
With masonry walls and durable
shingles. about the only features
which should entail unkeep expense,
are the plumbing and plastering.

travelling. and this young man ap-
pealed to her particularly. because
he was evidently a writer. They
were kindred spirits, as IL were,
Jane felt a romantic thrill at the
