Mrs. John L. Hammer Of Bright
water, L. l., who has been Mrs.
Taylor's guest for some time, is
visiting friends in Savannah, Ca,
prior to a visit at Alexandria, Va,
with her son and daughter-in-law,
Mr.. and Mrs. Phillip Hammer, be-
fore returning to her home in the

Mrs. James F. Robertson ex-
poets to fly to New Orleans this

Word has been received in Will
mington that Joseph G. Howe, Jr.,
son of Lieut.. Col. and Mrs. Joseph
G. Howe of 514 Chestnut street,
has been given a principal APP
pointment to the U. S. Military
Academy at West Point, by our
representative, J. Bayard Clark,
of Fayetteville. Joe enlisted in the
army three years ago while still
a student at the Citadel in Charles
ton, and has been serving over
seas for approximately two years.
We hear he has been ordered
home from foreign duty to enable
him to prepare for the entrance
to the Academy in July. Tall, erect
and handsome with a decided mil
itary bearing, we feel confident
Joe will make a fine looking cadet.
His many friends in the city will
be delighted to hear of the honor
which has been bestowed upon
him, and which, in the general
consensus Of opinion, is highly de-
served. Three cheers for Mr..
Clark for appointing "G.I." who
has seen actual combat rather
than merely making an appoint
ment for political reasons. Such
action as this on the part Of MIR.
Clark, in Joe Howe's case, makes
us tremendously proud Of our
square shooting representative in
congress from the eighth congress
sional district.
The two family house at Sale

Peg, think of the excitement OF
two big church weddings here in
one week. There have been two
and three parties a day given in
honor of our charming brides, and
society turned out en- masse for
both of the wedding receptions.
One of the prettiest and most
impressive weddings I ever at
tended took place on Wednesday
evening, February q, at 8 o'clock
at the First Presbyterian church,
when Miss Kathryn Snow, niece Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart Leslie Mar
bury of Forest Hills, this city, was
united in marriage with Major
Carl Morrison Allen, Jr.. son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Of College
Park, Ga. The bride who was Civ
en- in marriage by her uncle. Mr..
Marbury, was exquisitely gowned
in white duchess satin made on
princess lines and a veil OF brlda
Illusion. Her bouquet was OF white
orchids and white lilacs. Every
one was commenting on the ct
| fectiveness of the costumes worn
| by the brides attendants. They
| wore identical gowns of white
II satin with full double net skirts
Al Headgears of white tulle witt
short wells caught with deep rec
carnations completed the lovely
picture and they carried arm
bouquets Of red carnations ties
with red satin ribbon. Following
the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
