June roses and the color of the rose
beautified the pretty rooms in which
Mrs. ]. e. Murphree received a half
hundred of her friends Tuesday after
noon in honor of one of the first Of
the June brides, Miss Eleanor Daniels
of Woodlawn. The flower-trimmed
boxes in which favors from a wedding
cake were enclosed, also followed the
tint which always comes into its own
at this season.
The entertainment was a miscella
neous shower and a number of useful
and attractive gifts were bestowed upon
the young bride-to-be. Miss Daniels has
been a teacher in the East Lake Meth
odist church Sunday school some time,
and in recognition of her fine services in
religious work the hostess asked a
group of her fellow-teachers and the
officers of the Sunday school depart

Young plants which have been
shifted from one spot to another in
the garden will need shading unless the
work is done on a cloudy day. An
excellent shading device is made by
cutting out circular pieces Of brown
paper about foot in diameter. When
thase are doubled over they made a
paper funnel which is readily held in
place by running wire or bit of stick
through the paper where it laps. ,Di-
rect sunlight is excluded in this way,
and yet the plants get an abundance Of
fresh air. OF course in an emergency
shingles stuck into the ground beside
the plants can be used with a degree Of
satisfaction.

There is encouragement in the fact
that a way has been found by which
witch grass may be absolutely banished
from a garden. 1t is method which
involves a little sacrifice, however, be-
cause you will have to give up at least
a part of the garden plot for a month
or two. The plan is simple. just
cover the infested area with heavy
brown paper, or better still, roofing pa
per and keep it placed with stones or
boards. Being deprived of light, air
and moisture, witch grass W hich has
successfully defied every other attempt
to exterminate It, viii soon cease to

to the happiness of these people if they
could recapture the vision of their
youth again, when they never doubted
fairy story-"and they were married
and lived happily ever afterward."
OF course, experience is bound to
discount optimism. OF course, the
reality is never as beautiful as the
dream. OF course, middle age has
few palpitations and thrills. OF
course, men and women who are
concerned with the nerve-wracking
problem of making a living and
bringing up a family have their
thoughts centered on something
more strenuous than billing and
cooling. Yet, after all of that, it
is possible to keep the light burn
ing on the altar of marriage and
to offer before it an incense of de-
votion that will make home a holy
place instead of mere lodging
house.
And that is the ideal with which vir-
tually every bridal couple begin their
married life. Other people may have
made a failure of matrimony, but they
nave never uOuDC IndC lney Will
achieve a grand and triumphant sue
cess. AS they take the solemnest oath
that human lips, can utter, they do it
with a clear conscience, intending to
keep it in letter and spirit. The BRIDE
groom, looking down on the beautiful
white-robed figure at his side has no
mental reservations as he promises to
love and cherish her until death parts
them. The bride, clinging to the arm
of her stalwart bridegroom, has no hes
itation in swearing to love him, and
cherish him, and be faithful to him as
long as she lives.
And as they walk down the church
aisle they see the future stretching be-
fore them, filled with quiet happiness.
Two people finding companionship in
each other, helping each other, consid-
crate to each other, tender to each
other. Then somehow, without their
knowing just how, they find themselves,
like so many other married couples,
bored with each other, disillusioned,
quaFreling over trifles, the salt and
SAVIOR gone out of life, their marriage a
failure, so far as bringing any real
happiness to either of them.
Many husbands and wives sink
into this slough Of despond without
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-05-28

minds all that they meant their
marriage to be when they first
stood before the altar, and that they
take up their lives together each
time with fresh enthusiasm and
more determination to make their
marriage a success.
1t seems to me that this is a fine
idea, and one that may be adopted
with profit by many other husbands
and wives. For it is undeniable
that most marriages do slump, and
even when they are not actually
unhappy they go stale and flat, and
lose their pep and flavor. Also it
is true that there are thousands
upon thousands of married couples
who are really fond of each other
but who, through long habit, have
come to treat each other with no
more consideration than they show
the checkbook, or the kitchen stove,
or any other article of daily use
and convenience.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-05-28

Surely it would make every woman
who remarked her husband recall the
wife she meant to be, the daintily
dressed cheerful, loving wife who was
always going to meet her husband with
glad. sweet smile and have a smok-
ing-hot dinner for him when he came
home tired at night, and force her to
contrast that dream wife she was 60

peevish wife she is, who feeds hus.

and who hasn't wondered in years
whether he liked things or not.

realizing it. Still less do they ask
how it happened, or blame them
selves for it, or make any effort to
extricate themselves from it. There
is nothing else more tragic than
that SO many people let their do
nestle happiness, which is the
greatest happiness in the world,
slip from them without making an
effort to hold it. For there is no
marriage that could not be made
a success if man and woman hon.
'estly tried to make it so.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-05-28

1t would do every married couple
good to check up every five years
on their promises and perform
ances, and so 1 heartily commend
this plan of getting married over
again every now and then.
DOROTHY DIX.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-05-28

Surely to be remarked to his
wife every five years would remind
a man forcibly that his marriage
vows were still binding, aAd that
when he entered into a life con-
tract to love and cherish a woman,
it didn't mean until she got fat, or
her hair turned gray and she lost
her beauty. Also that when he 3
swofe to endow a woman with all
his worldly goods, that it meant
that he would go at least fifty
fifty instead of doing out nickels
to her. And it might bring home
to him what a terrible response
bility a man assumes when he
takes into his hands a woman's
life and makes it or breaks it at
his will.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-05-28

Perhaps nothing else would do more
to wake up these dull, sodden husbands
and wives and make them realize how
much in need of reformation their mar
riages ARE than for them to go through
the marriage ceremony again and have
a "cut-back," as our movie friends say,
of themselves as palpitant bride and
groom, filled with fine enthusiasm
starting forth blithely hand in hand on
the new life in which they were so sure
that they would find peace, and happi-
ness, and contentment.
