Our stenog Is working hut
Her mind is full of fuzz;
She's thinking of that beach ro

And wondering who he was!
The phone girl, Zoo, is also back
With post-vacation woes;
She cannot get accustomed to
A daytime spent in clothes.
The boss' secretary, too
Now strives to readjust
Herself to being in a place
Where baby talk's a bust.
The boss, quite brown, is on the job
But doesn't labor gaily;
His mind is on a girl, a beach;
A moon and ukelelc,

rhen reduce the beat and cook very
Jowly. An old cook says, " Vegeta
•les that grow under the ground
hould be covered in cooking. Those
hat grow above ground should be
incovered, or at least partly un
wvered."
Vegetables for creaming are first
looked in boiling water to which
alt is added just before they are
lone. They are then drained and
ombinpd with a medium white
sauce in the proportion of two cups
cookPd vegetables to one cup cooked
white sauce.
F'.scalloped vegetables are usually
combined with white sauce In the
same proportion as for creaming.
The top is covered with fine plain
or buttered crumbs, and baked in
the oven long enough to brown the
surface.
Au grattn vegetables. Although
this name may be applied to vege
tables combined with white sauce
and covered simply with crumbs and

Clellan, jr., the rector. performed
the ceremony at 4 o'clock, at Cal
vary Episcopal church in the pres
ence of an assemblage composed of
relatives and close friends.
"The picturesque little church pre
sented an effective scene with its
decorations of white cosmos, white
hydrangeas. and autumn leaves
banked in and around the altar. At
the fore on the sides were the Union
Jack, bespeaking the native land of
the groom, and the flag of the
United States, indicating the coun
try of the bride, breathing a pretty
little patriotic note. Wrought iron
candelabra, each bearing seven
cathedra! candles. were near the
front, and together with the altar
candles cast a soft glow over the
church.
Mrs. Charles Echvard Dameron. or
ganist. was in charge of the music.
She played a preliminary program
and then accompanied Mias Emmy
Rutledge, a lifelong friend, in the
rendition of the bridal chorus from
Lohengrin, sung by the choir, as the
bridal party entered, The choir was
composed of cousins and intimate
friends of the bride, associated with
her in the church since childhood
During the ceremony, the choir
sang softly the hymn: "O. Perfect
Love."
Mr Marshall Roberts, cousin of

man and the ushers were Mr Nor
man H rfildebrand and Mi; Allen
D. Williamson, of Asheville: Mr.

eyes as she entered on the arm of
her brother, Mr. George W. Cushing,
who gave her in marriage She was
wearing an ivory crepe gown fash
ioned along Grecian lines and touch
ing the floor in full clinging Grec
ian fashion. A veil of Belgian late
tinted to the .same shade in deep
ivory of the gown, was fashioned In
to a cap effect with a flare and held
in place by a wreath of orange
blossoms across the back. It fell two
yards in length. A string of pearls
was the only ornament worn. The
bride's bouquet was of lilies of the ,
valley showered wt,th tiny lpvers"
knots of white satin ribbon and
lilies of the valley.
Following the taktng of the vows,
a reception was held on the church
lawn, carrying out a symbol of the
love the bride feels for the sacred
ties binding her to the little church
from her earliest recollections. An
aisle was formed by the ushers
standing at intervals from the
church door to a huge bank of na
tive mountain evergreens about 50
feet immediately in front of the
church door on the south Here
Mrs. Cushing, mother of the bride,
the bride and groom, maid of hon
or, best man, Mr. and Mrs. George
W. Cushing, themselves bride and
groom, and the Rev. Mr. McClellan,
received the coterie of relatives and
friends. The bride's mother was one
of the most striking figures of the
wedding party, dressed in her own
wedding gown of exquisite crinkled
ivory chiffon en trainne and with a
royal purple felt hat and purple ac
cessories. Her corsage was of mixed
flowers completing her old-fashion
eel eiiect.
Following the reception, Mr, and
Mrs. Robertson motored to the home
of the bride, where Mrs. Robertson

Mrs. Lind*.
New York—One of the most de
lightful things about the visit of
Captain Wolfgang Von Cronau.
transatlantic filer, to this country
has been a visit to the Lindberghs.
Leaving with his three comrades for
Germany, the captain described Mrs
Lindbergh as ‘ charming" and "frag
ile ,like a flower.”
Good Times.
New York—If business conditions
were as good in England as in the
United States. England would feel
very optimistic, In the opinion of
Lord Melchett. mining magnate.
"I'll bet," he added on departure for
England, "that In another Vear or
so you will not remember that, so
many of your people were talking
about hard times.” I
In Fashion Now
Dull surfaced material Is more
appropriate for the street dress
and brown. In a variety of
shades, seems to be one of the
leading; colors.
A sheer, flexible wool dress
of brown, with trimmings of
white wool, either plain or pol
kadot, is quite smart.
Irish crochet lace, once so pop
ular, is being used quite a bit
this fall, being seen on black
woolen daytime dresses. Croch
eted buttons to match, are also
being used.
Cloves are being shown for
every occasion—evening gloves
in pastel shades which offer ef
fective accents to a dark gown,
are especially stressed.
Belts, once discarded almost
altogether, are good this fall, to
accentuate the waistline and
hold it to the snug lines fash
ion dictates. Kid, patent leather
suede, alligator are often used,
according to the dress to be
worn.
Talk* Money Thoma*
Left To His Bank*
Lexington Dispatch
The Rutherford county formet
bank official who made over *180
000 insurance to a group of closec
banks before he died a few days agr
left, a heritage to his community
that should keep his memory greer
for many a year It might not hav<
been his fault that the allied bank;
closed, but it is certain that he had
not escaped a portion of the blame
He might have left this money tc
his kin or friends, and they would
have gone through life bearing f
part of the burden of anger that
had been directed against the in
sured Who knows but what he ha;
not left them the heritage of a re
stored great natne that in value ex
ceeds the sum of *180,000.
During recent days taxpayers Ir
Rutherford county have been hold
ing meetings and voting to abolish
several lines of public endeavor
that perhaps are worth more tc
them than they cost In order that
some small tax reductions might br
affected. The county was a heavy
depositor in these banks and its
money has been tied up, with the
prospect of only a partial recovery
in dividends. The inheritance of
the closed banks may prove a great
aid to county funds and many also
increase the dividends of many de
positors considerably more than the
taxes involved. And if fhis proves to
be true the dead man has proven a
benefactor of the first order.
