 Mushat

Lovely in its simplicity was the we'd ding of two members of prominent fami- lies of Birmingham, which occurred Thursday afternoon at 5 80 o'clock, when Miss Carolyn Coleman Carper be- came the bride of MT. Roland G. Mushat, Jr.
 The impressive VOWS were pronounced by Dr. Henry NJ. Edmonds before an improvised altar of greenry and white tapers in the living room of the Carper home on Mountain avenue in the pres ence of a group of friends and relatives of the young couple.
 Proceeding the ceremony, Mrs. Rod songs and Mrs. l.. H. Dent played the nuptial music.

Richey, and Vir- ginia Redd, the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Ernest Redd wearing dainty frocks of nile green chiffon.
 Miss Mary Elizabeth Southgate, cousin of the bride, was the maid of honor and only attendant. She was lovely in a green nile green French chiffon frock, the bottom of the dress being beaded in green and shading into white crystal at the neck line. She car with green tulle.
 The bride was given in marriage by her father, Mir. c. E. Carper, and they met the groom and his brother, MT. Joe Marbury, who served as best man, at the altar. She was a charming picture in an afternoon dress of blue chiffon cut velvet over silver cloth with which she wore small becoming hat of silver. The bridal bouquet was formed of brides roses and valley lilies.
 Following the ceremony an informal reception was held. The brides table was covered with a lace cloth and the ring wedding cake was embossed ir roses and lilies of the valley. Pink
 roses ahd valley lilies were placed ir
 the center of the cake and bud vases held pink rose buds, which were placed an intervals on the table, intersperset
 with white tapers in silver holders. Mir. and Mrs. c. E. Carper, parentl of the bride, were assisted in receivin, by Mir. and Mrs. D. H. Marbury, par ents of the groom, and Ms. William Redd, maternal grandmother of the , bride.

 The first question one woman ever asks about another woman is How was she dressed?" The first thing that every woman wants to see when she goes to a strange city is the fashionable shop ping street. The thing the average woman gets more thrills out of than anything else is looking at the stunning clothes she cannot afford to buy, and 1t is the change of fashions that provides her with perpetual excitement.

Furthermore, clothes are a uni versal comforter under any and all circumstances to women. When everything else fails her, there is always fashion left to fall back : upon. Invalidism is made bearable by pink chiffon and lace negligees. An imported frock lessens the ache of the heart it covers, and the in terest of getting the new mourning has tided many a woman through

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO RUTH BURKE
DEAR RUTH:

DEAR RUTH:
Don't think l did not appreciate
your letter. 1t had all the news
and just the kind of news in it that
l wanted to learn. l don't think you
can realize how grateful l am to
you, dear, for all you have done for
me.
The reason I haven't answered
your dear letter before this was be-
cause it reached me in the morn

Of course l did not know he was
coming, and as luck would have it,
l had gone over to Alice Van Court
lands to play nah jongg. Mother
had insisted upon it. She said
was getting into such nervous
state that she could hardly live with
me, and that my father was much
perturbed over my unhappy face.
This was news to me, as thought
had succeeded in making dad
think was very happy.
Alice was having large party;
and mother insisted upon me going
in evening dress. l had hardly got

and both of them were much dis
appointed because l was not there
to greet them.
could hardly speak, Ruth, over
the phone. My heart was beating
so fast that l could see it.
Mother said little Jack was par
ticularly heartbroken, because he
had been told, he was going to see
muvver at grandma's house, and
when he found that he was at grand
mas house and was not there, he
seemed to think every one was in
league to keep him from his sweet
muvver.
At that moment his voice was
raised in such an overpowering and
irrepressible paroxysm of sobs and
yells that l could hear him over the
phone. Happily, the car was wait
ing for me. Like wild woman,
rushed through the people Alice had
