IT AST night at dinner, when l came \ in a little late after the matinee
 and tea downtown, mother eyed me accusingly. I could see that for some unknown reason I was the subject of her displeasure. I often wish that moth CT were of a more placid nature. 1n- deed, I have told her that 1 was sure that the lines in her forehead and the tiny wrinkles around her eyes were caused by her unfortunate lack of self control.
 "It is really wearing on your nervous system, mother darling" told her, Ito allow yourself to be so easily disturbed over small annoyances."
 Small annoyances she repeated in tone of exasperation, and l realized that it was hopeless to try to help her gain a sweeter serenity of spirit.
 Since that conversation I have merely tried to be patient with her. So, as we were leaving the dining room last eve ming I answered very gently when she asked me why had borrowed her bead ed bag without her permission.
 You weren't home, dear, when hap pened to need it.
 "Well, Lucille, you might at least have returned it. I had a perfectly maddening hunt for it this morning.

 "Still, mother, I don't understand what had to do with it."
 "Wait!" mother commanded. After luncheon when Aunt Rachel and rose from the table she pointed at my skirt. I looked down and there was again all daubed in white. It certainly was mysterious. I had it wiped off again, and then we went over to the Art h. stitute to see collection of jade that Aunt Rachel is interested in, and she suddenly exclaimed that l had got some more paint on me.
 "In despair I handed her my bag to hold while I wiped it off with my hand kerchief as best l could, and Lucille, when she gave me back the bag l saw with horror that there was lot of that white stuff on her velvet frock. Then the mystery was solved. l found the large tube of cold cream with the cap off, that had been oozing through the bag all day. I'm afraid Aunt Racheps dress is ruined. It's next to impossible to get the greasy stuff off Velvet. do wish you weren't so rattle-braned, Lu- cile."

BIyTLER.LOWE WEDDING 0E WIDE INTEREST

A marriage of unusual interest to Alabamians and Tennessians occurred at high noon Wednesday at Pulaski, Tenn, when Miss Pearl Butler of that city became the bride of Judge William T. Lowe of Albany-Decatur. The bride and groom left immediately afteir their marriage for an extended southern tour.
 The ceremony was performed at the home of the brides mother, Mrs. Mary E. Butler, on Sam Davis avenue, Pu- laska, only members of the immediate family being in attendance. The of ficiating minister was Rev. Robert Le Parsons, pastor of the First Methodist church of Pulaski.
 The bride was attired in beautiful going-away suit of brown, made en- semble, with hat and other accessories to harmonize.
 Her flowers were a corsage of sweet heart roses and valley lilies.
 The bride belongs to one of the best and most favorably known families of Tennessee. She has been prominent in social affairs, in club activities and church work, giving freely of her time and talent.
 Judge Lowe is one of the most promi- nent public men of Alabama, having been a member of the Alabama consti. tutional convention of 1901, a member of the house of representatives in 1905 and member of the state senate in 1907 2 He is now the judge of the Morgan county court and prominent attorney of the Twin Cities.

 That, mother, is the reason that l didn't put it back in your room. I've been intending to match those beads and have Cousin Fannie repair that fringe. The bag got caught in Dexter Haines' car door, and he offered to send it to a jeweler to be mended, but, of course, I had better taste than to allow him to do that, even if he didn't slam the door on it. Don't worry about it, dear, for I'm sure that Cousin Fannie can do it beautifully. You know she is wonderfully clever at bead work"

To remove candle wax, place piece of ordinary white plotting paper under meath and on top of the stain and apply warm iron. Move the plotting paper occasionally. If the stain is white the material need then only be washed. If colored wax the color must be removed by soaking it for a few minutes in de- natured alcohol.
 To clean silver trimming that has be- come tarnished, cover the silver with dry magnesia and let it remain for two hours. Rub it in well. then brush off with a hand brush. If not bright enough after one application apply again.
 Heavy dumplings are difficult to di- gest and should never be given to in yalids or children. If they are pricked open when first taken from the kettle they will retain their lightness. It is also a good idea to keep the lid down tight on the pot while the dumplings are cooking.
