BIRMINGHAM MAN
 MARRIES IN SELMA

A wedding of interest occurred re gently in Selma which will be ot ln- terest to the friends of the bridegroom in Birmingham. The Selma exchange says: ,
 A double marriage ceremony which united two prominent couples was that on Sunday morning at 9 o'clock when Miss Margaret Nicely became the bride of Ernest A. Avery of Birmingham and Miss Martha Neely became the bride of Louis Reynolds of this city.
 The ceremony was performed at the Nicely home on Alabama avenue by the Rev. I. A, Lee of the Christian church of Plantersville, assisted by Rev. E: w. Gamble. rector of Saint Paurs Episco- nal church of Selma. There were no attendants and the only witnesses were relatives of the two couples.
 The living room where the ceremony was nerformed was Horned with vases of chrvsanthemums, and Mrs. Dunlap Neely. sister-in-law of the two brides, played Mendelssohns wedding march for the entrance of the couples and "Io a Wild Rose," during the ceremony.
 The two lovely brides entered the room together and were dressed alike in brown bengaline two-piece suits trimmed in fur with small brown vel vet hats and other accessories to cor respond. Their bouquets were arm clusters of Columbia roses. The grooms also entered the room together. There was no reception and immediately after the ceremony MT. and Mrs. Averyt left in their car for Florida and MT. and Mrs. Reynolds in their ear for Mobile. The former couple will live ln Birmingham, where MT. Averyt is en- gagged in the wholesale drug business and the latter will live in Selma in the Neely cottage on Alabama avenue :.
 On account of the wide popularity of the couples and the prominence oi the families the marriages are regarded with deep interest by friends in thls section of the state and in Birmingham the home of Mir. Averyt.

awful people who infested even the ex- elusive public places!
 They wear such odd clothes,' Hide garde proceeded dreamily, wrapping more nightly around her the fur gar ment which she had hastened to tell me had cost such a sum of money that can't remember the figures. It was just as easy, she pointed out seriously, to get good effect even if one didn't have much money if one spent time and consideration on clothes, mean while eyeing my apparel in polite dis approval. You would have thought the girl had never worn mended gloves in her life nor exchanged party frocks with me.
 ''Hildegarde surveyed the menu with slight frown and then dispatched her waiter for the head waiter. She wanted to know if they didn't have something really good that wasn't on the bill today-she was tired of all those old standard things! Couldn't the chef fix up specially for her that delicious little entree, the one with the large mushrooms and the green sauce and the queer, delicate flavor? And, oh, yes,-weren't there any potatoes de Ia staircase? She did want her friend to try them! One couldn't get them anywhere else. And, oh, yes that salad with pickled walnuts and endive and stuffed grapefruit with the special dressing. ...
 'Then she leaned back, dabbed on a little rouge and asked me kindly what I was doing with myself these days. She didn't wait to find out, because she hastened on to tell me of all the tiresome dinners and teas and musicales and things she was rushing to every minute-a man in Reginald's position, you know, has to keep up the social side of life. How lucky was to be able to stay at home if I wanted to Though so many servants in their four teen room apartment just made her long to get out of it. At least she could have seclusion in her limousine. May be they were going to take the Mediter- ranean trip in February"
 T smother! 1" declared the very new husband, bravely trying to be funny; He reached over and took the hand pan again. "Say!' he blurted anxious things Hildegarde's husband gives her l toro Jou "He coVAihe your O"H uAnheA by the way, what is it?"
 Jimmy v' cried the very new wife beating him with both fists, 'if you ever dare say that again wouldn't swap you and this two-room kitchenette for thirteen Reginalds and you know it! We're having dumpling stew and rice pudding, which is more than Hide garde can do, what with her chefs and maids and fur coats and position to keep up! There isn't an a la on our whole dinner tonightw
 Well, that suits mel" the very new husband said, quite cheering up Gosh I'm sorry for some folks"

ter is it to marry homely man who will admire you than good looking one whom you will have to admire. Far better to have people wonder how an ugly man ever got such a good looking woman as you are for wife than to have them speculate about how such fairy prince ever came to pick out the sort of a looking Cinderella you are.
 Handsome is as handsome does in a husband, and the homely ones are the best bets. If man is in- telligent and strong and forceful in character; if he is tender and considerate to you, he will look good to you even if he is fat and headed, and ugly enough to stop the clock.
 To my mind, the crowning proof O d woman's intelligence is that she is st little influenced by the pulchritude O lack of it in men and that she does no pick out her life mate because of hi beauty. It takes men to be guilty 0 that supreme folly. For any one wh' marries for beauty is bound to lose ou within ten or fifteen years.

 LEBANON. JOHN. Answer: We'll, John, I should say that you were in the case of the man who said he could be happy with either dear charmer were t'other- dear charm CT away. But it seems to me that when a man can't decide between which of two women he prefers, he has luke warm regard for both. .,
 Believe me. John. that when
 you really fall in love, you will believe, for the time being nt least, that there is just one woman Tn the world and she is It. And my advice to you is to wait until you have a real. genuine, old-fashioned heart attack before you marry. Don't mistake a few slight symp- toms for the fatal malady.
 In a way, for a bachelor of forty to get married is more serious matter than for youth of twenty -four, be- cause forty is far less adaptable, and far more critical than twenty-four is. So it is much more important for the ba achelor of forty to be head over heels ill love than it is for the youth of twenty-four to be.
 By by the time man is forty
 he is set in his ways. He has formed habits that are hard to change. He loves his freedom and nothing compensates him for changing his mode of life and be- ing bound by the restrictions of domesticity and having to put up with wife's peculiarities, except great and overwhelming af- lection.
 judging the sight unseen, I
 judging them sight unseen, l
 should say that you were more
 likely to be happy if you marry
 the girl you have known all your life than the stranger.
 There is something alluring, I grant you, about the woman that you do not know. Her charms and graces, her little tricks and manners, have the charm of novelty, and exploring her mind and heart and character IS as fascinating as adventuring in a foreign country.

But why are you in such hurry to be grown up? Why do you despise your youth? Don't you know you have the most precious thing in the world, the thing that is better than fame or riches, or any other gift that the gods can give? Why, there isn't a tot tering old millionaire who wouldn't give you all his gold for just your sixteen years. There isn't a fa- nous person who wouldn't gladly barter his or her laurel crown just to be sweet sixteen. Don't try to be older than you are.
