New York, June 9-The gallantry of the U. s. Navy in conveying a wedding dress made the dream of a pretty WAC sergeant in North Africa come true. The girl Is Sergt. Catherine Messner, formerly a stenographer, of Buffalo, N. Y. She will be the first CT. Jane in North Africa to shed khak and don a formal wedding gown, when she marries Radioman 1 /c Lloyd Ham, ner, USNR, of Clarksdale, Miss, on June 19.
 AS you might guess, wedding dresses - although permitted --' are not for sale in PIX stores or Army Quartermaster depots. So here is how the Navy, which had already promised to deliver Catherine her groom, rushed full steam ahead to snare her wedding outfit: a pillow ing white marquisette gown, a net hoopskirt, two and one-half yards of yelling, an orange blossom wreath and a pair of satin sandals, size 6-B

 And, of course, there Is the wife who trades having children for having a job. That type of woman is sometimes lured into making such bargain by what her pay check will buy, and sometimes by the ego boost she gets out of being a "suc- cess"
 So, since we all know women who have swapped motherhood for some- thing they consider more import ant. why be shocked when man claims his wife did just that?
 Because the trade isn't pretty when 1t is stated bluntly. It isn't pretty anyway, when you stop to think about 1t.

 Sitting gingerly on the edge of a spindly gold brocade Louis XIV chair, the lieutenant watched one beauti- full model after another parade past.
