The moment her mistress de- parted, she got out the whisk broom and brushed the up- holstery and washed the ivory tinted frame until it glistened.
 Then she waited. And while she waited she spent, in imagination, the $5 she hoped was coming to her. It was a wonderful shopping trip-in an artists supply store near her home where many times, with face pasted to the window, she had look ed longingly at the tubes of paint, crayons, brushes and pencils. For Betty loved to draw and paint and got scant encouragement on the part of her over-worked mother, to whom the idea was just nonsense.
 And then arrived a nice looking young woman who asked about the cab.
 ''It's only $20," said Bet

 "Oh, no. I just take care of him." answered Betty.

 The next few. days Betty revelled in her new joys her little stock of art sup plies which inspired her to all sorts of artistic attempts and Jimmy's shiny new go- cart. But at the climax of them, came an announce ment from Jimmy's mother that they were going away and would not come back to the city to live. The first reaction was poignant re- gret at parting from Jim- mic; then economic consid.

SIGHTLER-SMITH
 WEDDING SOLEMNIZED

Marked by beauty and simplicity was the marriage of Miss Martha Elizabeth Sightler of Montgomery and MT. Dale Clifford Smith of Fort Valley, Ga, which took place Thursday afternoon at 5 80 o'clock at the home of the brides parents, Mir. and Mrs. s. E. Sightler on South Hull street.
 The reception rooms were decorated with palms, ferns and smilax, inter spersed with brides roses and June lilies. The bridal party marched down the broad stairway, through the living room, into the dining room, where an improvised altar was formed of palms and ferns, and on either side, tall cathedral candlesticks held burning white tapers.
 Preceding the ceremony, MT. Hugh Staurt sang "Untill," and "All For You" accompanied by Prof. T. O. Cal loway, who also played the wedding march.
 Miss Isabel Wilkinson of Rome, Ga, was the attractive bridesmaid and wore beautiful frock of green lace over crepe back satin. The matron of honor, Mrs. B, J. Clements, sister of the bride, was in peach -colored lace over satin, and the lovely maid of honor, Miss Aileen Sightler, another sister of the bride, wore orchid lace over satin.
 The dainty flower girls were Miss Ruth Sightler Madden of Birmingham, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. H. s. Mad den of that place, and Miss Julia Whit aker Stuart, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Hugh Stuart, Montgomery. Ruth was lovely in sblue chiffon, and Julia wore pink chiffon, both dresses being trim med with ribbons and faces. They car ried baskets filled with pink rosebuds.
 The bride was given in marriage by her father, MT. s. B. Sightler, and was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mir. B. H. Matthews, of Macon, Ga.
 The lovely young bride wore a we'd ding gown of ivory kittens ear crepe, heavily beaded in seed pearls. Her bridal veil of illusion was fashioned with a coronet of orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of brides roses and valley lilies. The bride en- tered with her father, Mir. and Mrs. s. B. Sightler, and was met at the altar Dy the groom anu ms pest mdL, Mr' B. H. Matthews, of Macon, Ga.
 Immediately after the ceremony, Mir. and Mrs. s. B. Sightler entertained at an informal reception, in honor of the young couple, who left later in the aft ernoon for a wedding trip on the Gulf Coast, after which they will go to Fort Valley, Ga., to make their home.
 The punch table, which was artisti- cally arranged with Ophelia roses, was on the sun porch and was in charge of Mrs. Hugh Stuart and Miss Mary A, Fonville. Miss Dana Gatchel of Bir- mingham was in charge of the brides book. Assisting in receiving and serv- ing were Mrs. H. S. Madden, Mrs. L. Nj. Clements and Miss Belle Stuart. An ice course in green and white was served with individual cakes being em- bossed in valley lilies. |

erations came to the front and she suddenly recalled the card the woman who had bought Jimmy's cab had given her.
 A few days later, Betty was wheeling the old buggy with the blue velour uphol- stery and ivory tinted reed frame. But a blue eyed baby girl looked up from the pink silk quilt, instead of black eyed Jimmie.
 She had been working for Mrs. Randall but a few days when she discovered that one room was generally closed, and that a man was working there. Of course it must be MT. Randall, but what was he doing home all day? Soon that room took on all the mystery of the fa- nous closed chamber of Bluebeard's castle-until one day the door was open and Betty looked in. She saw an artists studio with easels and drawing boards and half finished sketches and drawing instruments and palettes and paint tubes, all the paraphernalia of an artist strewn about!
 It was not long before Mir. Randall discovered the acute interest of the new little nurse girl in his workshop, and the reason for it. And because he had had a father who wanted him to go into the sausage making business instead of into art, he was more than willing to help her achieve her career. So with Mrs. Randall's planning they helped Betty go to art school a few hours each week.
 It meant hard work for Betty, but she carried on bravely. Soon she was com petent enough to work in an art novelty goods house and get enough to pay for her board and art lessons-untiI she was equipped to take the $50 8 week position she has now with a commercial es- tablishment.
 She knows she owes it all to the Randalls and, going still further back, to the baby cab-and still further back than that, to the Want Ad in The Age-Herald. So if Betty were a knight of the old days, 'twoufd be meet in- deed that her shield carry the emblem of a baby buggy and a three-line Want Ad and an artists palette.

Romances of thew antAds

Her regular job was de- signing and illustrating gift and greeting cards. But in her spare moments, she did all sorts of magical things with pen and ink and daubs of color.
 One of her favorite diver sions was sketching heraldic designs, of which she had made a real study, and she often wished she lived in days when these fascinating symbols were conspicuously emblazoned to the world. Her own. she decided, would be astonishingly unique - a baby carriage on the back ground of a three-line Want Ad, with instruments of art work, woven into the whole design. Thus could she illus trate the outstanding events of her past, just as a winged griffon's head, springing from a mitre, portrayed the history of a bishops descend ants on some ancient shield.
 The Age-Herald Want Ad and the baby buggy go back at least six years in her life, to the days when Betty was a 14-year-old nurse girl and mothers helper. One day when she was putting little Jimmy into his buggy, she said to his mother: Don't you think he is getting awfully big for it? The little baby across the street has a go-cart now"
 "Why, I guess you are right, said Jimmy's mother, who was very casual in some ways. ''I'll have to buy him one. I wonder if I could sell this buggy first, for I won't have any money until next month."
 Why, of course you can," promptly replied Betty. "Just call up The Age Herald and they'll put an ad in because you have a tele- phone. My mother got her two best places that way. Shall I do it for you. The more yOW sag about tt, the quicker yoW'U seU it."
