DOUBLE WEDDING OF
 MUCH INTEREST HERE

weddings are always matters ol great moment in the everyday whirl of things. but double weddings are twice as provocative of interest because there is just twice the Inter- est and twice the friends and rela- tives to exclalm and be excited over them, and twice the pranks to plan against the poor victims.
 Birmingham friends were taken by storm yesterday when into the city from Calera came Mr. and Mrs. Der nard G. Rummel and Mir. and Mrs. Benjamin D. White, whose graceful double wedding took place Christi . mas Day at Calera, Ala.
 Mrs. Rummel was formerly Miss Mary Elna Brstow and Mrs. White Miss Anna Belle Bristow, the brides being sisters.
 Birmingham will be lucky in ac- quiring Mir. and Mrs. White for citi- zens, as the young couple will make their future home in Ensley, but MT. and Mrs. Rummel will travel for awhile before they go to Belding, Mich., to make their home In that city and build comfortable home.
 The ceremony was performed at the big double story residence of the two brides at Calera, the huge living room being transformed into a bower of greenery with cedars. pine and mistletoa. In the center Of the room had been suspended pretty wedding ball, of Christmas crimson from which streamers to form a love- ly canopy were drawn.
 Previous to the entrance of the wedding party E. B. Bristow, who has a magnificent baritone voice, sang Because" and T Love You Truly Miss Laurilla Kimbrough was the accompanst, who also played Mendelssohn's wedding march as the bridal group advanced to the inn provised altar.
 The two brides, in their pretty wedding costumes, passed down the marriage hall with their father. A. E. Bristow, the grooms meeting them beneath the lovely canopy. Following came the brother of the brides, Eu- gene Bristow, and Mrs. J. G. Shoe maker, who were the only attend ants.
 When they had formed an attrac- tive group, the ceremony was pro- nounced by the Rev pr. Willis M Neil, pastor of the columbiana Methodist church, the ring ceremony
 
 Immediately after the marriage vows were solemnized, the young couples left for Birmingham.
 Both brides have many friends in Birmingham. Mrs. Rummel has made her home here for a number of years, while Mir. Rummel is a young man in business for himself. Mir. White is employed by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and stationed at Ensley.
 Among the guests present were: pr. and Mrs. Neil, MT. and Mrs. Samuel T. Bristow, MT. and Mrs. A. E. Bristow, MT. and Mrs. Henry Bristow. Eugene Bristow. Mir. and Mrs. Grady Shoemaker and daughter, Marie; Dr. J. ". Shoemaker, Free man Shoemaker, Miss Lucille Brls- tow, Miss Grace Bristow. Miss Erin Bristow, Mrs. II. P. Randall, F. B.

 Indeed I don he replied heartily "In fact. Martha. like all the things you cook"
 well, if practice makes perfect, I ought to cook good" the woman said, comp1acent1y. "Ruthie's mother taught me when 1 was a girl. And she was a lovely housekeeper, Mrs. Grant was. Ruthie is something like her.'
 How long has Mrs. Grant been dead?" Kenneth asked.
 He felt strangely interested in learning all that he could about Ruth Grant and her life.
 "Is your cream right?" Martha ig- nored his question long enough to ascertain if he approved of her latest accomplishment in the culi- nary line.
 "Deliciousr' he replied. "I am en- toying it very much.'
 ''Well.9 as if just remembering his query, Mrs. Grants been gone eight years now. Ruthie was 12 years old when she lost her mother. I've done all I could to bring her up right and, if say 1t, as l shouldn't-I haven't failed. But it's small credit to me. The child herself has been sweet from the time she was born"
 She paused. The young man was listening eagerly, but was at loss as to what response to make.
