Of news to her many friends
is the nuptial of Miss Ellen
Mae Branson, formerly of Zion,
who was married on Septem-
Der 26, 1913, to Mr.. James C.
Wigger of Napa, California.
The wedding was one of the
outstanding events in recent
months in Napa.
Ellen, a lovely blonde, was
most attractive in her gown
of white slipper satin, with
trapunto design outlining the
neck-line and bouffant skirt.
The gown was long-sleeve with
Vionnett cuffs, and the skirt
swirled into a train. Her veil
of illusion net was fingertip
length and fell from a perky
off-face hat which tied in a
bow under the chin. The
brides bouquet was a cascade
of white roses and bovardia,
centered by a white orchid
with a lavender center. She
wore a string of pearls.
The bride, escorted by her
father, Arthur E. Branson, ap-
preached the flower-bedecked
chancel of the Napa Presby-
terrain Church for the two o.
clock service read by the Rev.
Lee Vernon. A trio of taffeta-
gowned bridesmaids preceded
the bride to the altar. Pearl
Thomson in rose; Martha Wig
ger, niece of the groom, in ap-
pie green; Helen Wisnoskie in
peach; and the matron of hon
or, Betty Garrett, in yellow.
The matron of honor's flowers
consisted Of Full chrysanthe-
NUNS in green. The brides
maids all carried boquets of
yellow Full chrysanthemums.
Little Donna Wigger, another
niece of the groom, was the
flower girl, and her white tat
feta dress was made like the
bridesmaids dresses and she
carried basket of yellow and
green Full chrysanthemums.
The best man was the groom's
brother, Rhode. Henry and
Wilder, the two other Wigger

A Short Short Story

ME solarium was crowded but very quiet
Il as Ellen came through. The click Of her
heels on the bright tile floor was like a signal.
Men looked up from their reading or opened
eyes closed against the sun. They smiled or
nodded or waved as she passed. There wasn't
time this morning to speak to each one indi-
vidually; she'd be seeing most of them later
anyway, at the picnic.
At the end of the long double row of facing
chairs a tall boy standing at one of the great
open windows turned and hailed her. She
went over to him. Hello. Roy" she said.
Its beautiful morning, isn't it, Mrs.
Patterson" he said, facing the window again.
The green is such bright green and the
new leaves of the naples are 50 delicate
against the evergreens There are enormous
clouds piled up in the sky and they are
scarcely moving. Isn't that right, Mrs.
Patterson?'
lHAr's right, and the sky is clear, pale
blue. Tell me, Roy, how do you know all
that?''
Its easy" he said proudly. when the
sun is warm like this on your face and you
can smell earth and grass, you remember
how it looked. remember so many things
thought l had never even noticed before"
Ellen reached toward the boys hands
clasped on his cane and pressed them gently.
He smiled and said, Il mustn't keep you.
DR.. Graham is waiting, standing in his door.
/ think, watching u.s." Ellen glanced over
her shoulder toward the office near the end
of the corridor. You're uncanny. ! don't
know how you do it, His low, pleased laugh
followed her.
Leaning against the wall outside his door,
young DR.. Graham shook his head as Ellen
came up. I'm still not sure about you, Mrs.
Patterson"
Ellen thought YEARLY, here it comes again,
the same old joke, and I've got to smile.

lection IN conjunction with the
later group seems to me felicitous
idea Probably many of us who
remember the war of 80 years ago
have been irked by the attitude of
some young people (born 1919 or
later who have made disparaging
remarks about the earlier war, as if
it had been a mere skirmish. They
should get acquainted with the out
standing men of World War +

lone battle with IS enemy machine
guns and brought in 1872 prisoners"

shots: little Charley Cameron, who

the enemy believe themselves sur

others. The doughboys uniform

it was just as much a man.
Innovation at Smithsonian
The Division of Graphic Arts.
Smithsonian Building, has shelved
its usual program of monthly one
man pyint shows in ORDER to present
a special exhibition of prints and
drawings by the Artists Guild of
Washington. which will remain
through September s. Twenty six
works by is members make a small
but lively display.
Drawings often provide surprises
for the spectator, who may be IA
miliar with the artist as a painter
or sculptor. John Gernand, for in
stance, is no radical, but his two
pencil drawings, Clouds Rising, Lac
Quencuilles" and Summer Window"
docking out on a little harbor), are
more conservative than his familiar
lyrical paintings. Maxim Elias, an
experimentalist in his sculpture,
shows two charcoal pencil drawings,
devastatingly realistic. particularly
the one Of heavy, listless woman.
On the other hand, John Gallo
ways two drawings in ink and
gouache are akin to his paintings.
An ornithologist would not be able
to identify the flying birds in "Ex-
pectant Figures" (Which are success
full in expressing expectancy. al
though he would have no trouble
with the ducks in the artists Aqua
tic Landscape" Jack Perlmutter
and Jacob Kainen, too, are as mod
ern in their drawing and print (re-
spectively) as in their paintings.
Helen Rennie's two ink and wash
distractions express unhappy feel
ings-rejection and insecurity. The
latter impresses me as much the
more successful. Feeling of Rejec-
ton" is too reminiscent of those ink
blot.s some of us used to make by
folding the paper while the ink was
wet, and getting unpredictable but
balanced smears.
william Calfee's gouache of a baby
giraffe appears to be work of several
years ago, more traditional than his
one-man show now at the Corcoran.
Marguerite Burgess Dusk, Penn
sylvania Hills" strikes me as too
animated quite to express the title.
Leo Steppat shows still another in
his extensive series of distractions,
apparently inspired by American In
dian motifs. Aline Fruhauf has
