Davies of Utica, Neb., was the scene af a beautiful but quiet wedding on Tuesday evening1, when their daufrli ter, Dorothy Davies, became the wife of Arthur Lyell Rushton, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Rushton of Omaha. Only the immediate families and a few close friends witnessed the cere mony, which was performed by Rev. T. R. Hollingsworth of the Presbyte rian church. Preceding the ceremony Miss Gertrude Munger of Lincoln sang "A Dream," V Bartlett. The Lolie-trin wedding music was played by !wrs. Howard Rushton. The bride was lovely in her gown of white satin, with girdle of silver I la'e, and with veil and draperies of tulle. Her shower bouquet was of bride roses and swansonia. A group of thft bride's sorority sis ters motored from Lincoln, coming as a "surprise party" for the bride. After the ceremony they formed a circle about the wedded couple and sang Delta Gamma songs. Mr. and Mrs. Rushton were well known students at the University of Nebraska, where the bride was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority and the groom of the Phi Delta Thcta fraternity. After a southern trip Mr. and Mrs. Rushton will be at home at 930 North Thirty-sixth street, Omaha. mmmmmm iillll There May Be Little In r a Name, but Appearance Sells the Liberty Bonds r J x4 liliiliiliii By MELLIFICIA. Xlolies and Liberty bonds 1 What a combination, you will say. JIow could the serious business of selling Liberty bonds and a woman's clothes have any connection? Listen and I will tell you. In the lobby of one oi New York's large hotels sat a mousey looking little person trying to do her bit by selling all of these important mortgages on the United States that she could, but business was not brisk. This was very evident to even the most casual observer. When suddenly her "relief" came, a very business-like looking lady, but in such a different way! Her suitvas dark blue and tailored, oh, so severely tailored, but so smart. And her hat! When I try to tell you about her hat words fail me. Can you Jrink of crushed rasp berries? That was just the shade of her chic little toque with a "stick uppy" feather on one side. And I wish you could have seen the rush fot Liberty oohds. As soon as the rasp berry hatted person took charge al most every man withiifnge became tired with a patriotism that he had never felt before. ' TheN kaiser's chances of winning the war were greatly diminished by leaps of $50, $100 and so on up. "Clothes do not make the man." How often have we heard the time worn adage, and a very true one it is, too. But, when it comes to a woman's clothes you have a different proposi tion, whether she be engaged in serv ing her country or attending to her own affairs. You may think the illustration ap plies only to New York or the very large cities, but to prove a point I will use an instance in our own town. " When I happened into a department store yesterday morning just as the whistles were 'blowing for the opening of the three days' drive I met a charming young girl seating herself in a little booth by the door. She was in brown from the tips of her bronze shoes to the top of her smart little brown hat with its tiny pink rose bud trimming. Her suit was a lovely, "woodsy" shade particularly becoming because of her brilliant, coloring. I thought to myself "bisiness will be brisk at that store, I arjTsure." What should confront me m the that the women had done wonderfully well in the stores selling their Liberty bonds and that hardly aingle man had gotten away tvithout a pledge. I am very sure, dear reader, that that little word "appearance" played a very important part in the success of the enterprise. , Personals Miss Evelyn Hubbard returned Wednesday to Rochester, N.'
