Everett Hail Burke, which took place Fri day evening at All Saints church, for profusions of pink roses nodded their graceful heads from among the green of the palms and ferns banked about the altar. Instead of the usual orange blossoms the long tulle veil of the bride was caught with apple blossoms, their dedicate coloring most effective against the tulle. Preceding the ceremony Mrs. Hazel Smith Eldridge sang, "How Much I Love You." The first notes of the wedding march ushered in the wedding party, Mrs. Zora Hamilton, sister of the bride enter ing first. The same delicate shades which are closely associated with the fragile flowers of spring, were worn by Mrs. Hamilton, her gown being of orchid and pink satin trim med in silver lace. A picture hat of orchid straw and shower bouquet ct pink sweet peas and orchids Com pleted her costume. Little Miss Ruth Sears, niece of the bride, was ringbearer. a pretty little figure in her dainty frock of white trimmed in pink. She carried me ring on a wnue sann puiow. The bride, in her gown of white satin was charming. The gown was made with a square train, her long tulle veil reaching to the hem, a short harem veil being worn over the face. Thebridal bouquet was of white sweet peas and orchids. The bridal party was met at the altar by Rev. T. T. Mackay, who read the marriage lines. Mr. Loring lilliott attended the bridegroom as best man. The ushers were Mr. Richard Fayne, Mr. Rollin Sturtevant and Mr. Richard Peters.

HAT memorials shall we erect for the soldiers of this war? or those who fought and came back unscathed, for those others who bear the permanent scars of honorable conflict, and most of all, for those who will not cony back? There hav been parents, wives, mothers, sisters, who in spite of their losses have gone bravely on with their own duties, but, who, now that the whole world has turned back toward its normal chan nels of activity, will feel the real force of their bereavement. Not only the family and the friends, but the towns which sent them proudly forth, will now begin to consider memorials. How will the honors be done? What visible symbols will signify our pride and grief? Is it too much ward with a nation-wide program to stimulate the building of commun ity houses as soldiers' memorials. War Camp Community service does so with the conviction that the truest and greatest memorial will be in the new life of civic usefulness for which the house will be the physical center the outward sign and symbol. Local Pride. War Camp Community service during the war helped to arouse local enthusiasm so that everybody labored together to make their towns the best possible place for soldiers and sailors to spend their leisure time. People and organiza tions that had never worked har moniously together joined forces and by efficient teamwork made possible Soldiers and Sailors clubs, canteens, and hotels. This commun ity service, viewed in retrospect, is seen to have become a nation-wide preparation for the new democracy which will be America's greatest gain from the world war. Long before victory was assured, even, the permanent aspect of the com munity service became apparent, as did the possibilities for-turning the enormous energy and strength aroused in behalf of soldiers and sailors into a permanent machine for community betterment. W. C. C. S was active in several places during the war in the build ing of community houses as a part of hospitality programs. These houses were erected in each case to help solve the( problems of the small town near the large camp. In each case, while acting as a cen ter for the community's hospitality to the uniformed men and their friends, the building has housed the social and patriotic, the musical and insofar as they could be car ried on in war times the art activi ties of the civilians. It has func tioned as a free and informal gath ering place for men, women and children during the week, and when the uniformed men were not on leave. The one at Manhattan, Kan., early won the name "municipal sit ting room and parlor." These , houses have been partially financed in evejy case by the town, and re to expect that the war which has brushed aside so many old prece dents will bring us a glorious new method of paying tribute to those who on land or sea and in the air," fought to make us free? Ornate statuary and monuments too many times neither useful nor beautiful which have commemorat ed the heroes of past wars, may now give way to more fitting memorials. Certainly, no mere shaft of marble or granite can symbolize the demo cratic ideals for which our heroes of this war fought. In coming for vert to the town when their war mission is finished. Ideal of Human Service Seeing the vital part they would play in after-war community life everywhere, V. C. C. S. suggested every town having its community house. Then from "The American City" magazine, and other outside quarters, came suggestions that war memorials erected by the towns and cities take the form of community house or liberty buildings. Gifts of Liberty bondst toward the sub scriptions for these buildings were also suggested. "What more splendid, visible symbol of our consecration could there be than the community build ing expressing the ideal of human service for which our modern cru saders offered their lives. It has been a war for democracy," says Mr. Joseph Lee, president of W. C. C. S.. "and 'democracy must have a home.' Such buildings, which could have no better name than 'home of democracy," will fitly com memorate our soldiers by serving as an instrument for the contin uance of that enhanced spirit of public service which has been to us the one great compensating gift of the war." A community building would be easily self-supporting. By its na ture it could be made exempt from taxation, and its running expense could be paid through a 5 or 10 cent admission charge to the mov ing picture shows, the community dances and similar attractions. Our boys are returning with the , spirit of consecration to a great cause still alive within them. If the homes of democracy are made centers ' friendliness and hospi tality, centers of education and in spiration of the same ennobling sort to which they have had freest ac cess in their clubs and their V. M. C. A. and K. of C. huts, as well as centers of the community service in the broadest sense, need there be a reaction from this spiritual alive ness? By the same sort of effort which was put forth during the war, the commuities can, by the time the last of our returning troops are mustered out, invite their own homecoming boys to share in the living memorials, with impressive bronze tablets, or with some room, dedicated to those who will not come back.

V K. in Tuesday's Bee prompts me to write just a few lines In the de fense of a real man; one who rtoes not prefer the chicken type to a sure enough regular girl. For six Ions years I traveled here, there and everywhere, visited every state in the union, as weil as Mexico and Canada, and my exper ience has been that the plain every day girl was the one best bet. A young man who is looking .'orwarrt to a happy married life shoull steer clear of the routed up dolls, and choose one as near like his mother was as possible, I have noticed that the painted beauties are always on the fro, out to show thPlr clothes, and fuss around like a chicken with its head cut off. Never stop to think how it looks to a silent observer, simply keep rcoinp, have- a good time, and let tomorrow take care of itself. Men are not looking for that type of a girl, when in earnest. On the other hand that is the kind that frets stung. They fall for some sissylled boob, and there you are. I am a young man, 26 years of age and a farmer. I work hard for a living and have the respect and con fidence of all who know me, find I don't think that I shall ruin my fu ture by Kettini? married to nny painted doll. However, when I feol that I can give some good, clean working girl a good home, and !f she can be found, I'm going to walk up to her and say, "Look here, lit:; person, you haven't anything, neith er have I. Let's get together and get something." Thanks. C. O. A. Sister Is Her Rival. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young girl of 18 and In love with a young sailor, but he seems to care for my sister, and she Jb mean enough to return the attention. , riease advise me what to do, as I am heartbrok en. I A. C. i). Don't blame your sister too much for returning the sailor's love. It ia forlorn for you, but I can give you no better advice than to console yourself and wait until real love comes your way. You are very young.
