Among the more notable wed- dings of recent weeks the mar- riage of Elisabeth tie Gaulle, daugh-

. ter of General de Gaulle, must take

the first place. It rather resembled a game of hide and seek with rc- porters frantically trying to find out, the whereabouts of the chapel of the convent where Mademoiselle dc Cvaullo was brought up and where she had chosen to he mar- ried to Commander de Boissleu. one of her father's brilliant young staff officers. O O

Paquin had designed for her a rather complicated dress that suit- ed her tall slendcrness wonderful- ly. The dress was of heavy silk. the skirt consisting of three un- even frills, shorter on one side than on the other, a light little bodice with a rounded collar. and on each side of the bride's fore- head a tight cluster of Jasmin blossoms. A minute muff of the same flowers replaced the tradit- ional bouquet. Young French brides prefer jasmin to myrtle and orange blossom this season. Muffs and small round posles replace the classical bouquet which, however. still looks best with a draped dress,

O O O

Thank heavens pink and nlue clad brides are out of fashion. I can understand being married "ln civ- vies" if one does not wish for or cannot manage a white wedding. And in that case any color is ad- mlssible. But to ape the style of a bride's dress, including the veil- and in an attempt to be origlnal to choose any color other than white, seems to be in the worst possible taste. That style should be left to the Folies Bergere, who,

very sensibly. do not choose to show themselves in the white at- tire of a bride‘.

Mrs. Roosevelt picked up a new public in Inndon--R.epublicans_ no less. Senator Arthur Vandenberg and others are pinning the accm lade of stateswoman on her as a result of the U.N.O. meetings. Most of them admit they had been a trifle bearish on her prior to the sessions which gave them their first real chance to watch her in action strictly on her own. Some of them had disliked her husband intensely; others felt the first lady should take a more secluded role and were even inclined to dismiss her as another woman-wlth-a- mission. Mrs. Roosevelt boarded the Queen Mary with these two strikes on her but in London she appar- ently made a home run. _

I came l few minute: since. a- long a hazardous path of ice. from the house across the lane. Skies were dark then, as were the aur- roundings except where the lamp in a window gave light for my careful steps. James is there still, chatting comfortably with the younger folk and their visitor Mr. C., a farmer from down the river road. He came. after dark, wcll mounted, which appears to be his favorite mode of travel. James may remain to lunch, for as I came away, I noticed that Jeanie, drew the teakettle nearer to the flames. ‘Elven if they were deep in their lively discussions. concerning a number of things, I entertain a strong notion that James, not at all given to much eating but as htnoften tells me "only natural". has an extra sense, which gives him warning, when a lunch is in the offing

Extra busy, our men were today. ‘Engaged in the choring this morn- mg then Jock went ln thn aftcr- noon to assist Mr. C. our near neighbor on the hill and his nephew at a bit of lumbering in a woods at a distance from Alder- lea, and lying beside the highway. Two huge trees, regular monarchs of their kind, and containing sev- eral loads of cordwood. were cut down and nortioned into lengths convenient for hauling. James a "good hand at it, whetted the axe, before he himself and the brown mare went on what he call- ed “a ferrying joh" between the corner-store and Rob's. Coal for the base-burner, it was, and per- haps a few sacks of imported feed purchased on yesterday's trip to the city. A grist of crushing from the mill, was also taken in the road. Rob, was loo busy lo at- tend to his own hauling, unless it might be done after night, for this was tho afternoon, that it suited Mr. A. “when that stack cleaned off" to finish his delayed thresh- ing and Rob was one of his hands. "You had better come along too" James invited me and if my Sat- urday's work had been completed, there would have been no refus- a]. Rlegretfully, I returned his wave, from the lane, bluest skies overhead, and bright sunshine and winter birds on the wing, before I turned away from the window and flopped to my scrubbing, which usually climaxes my "for Sunday” duties at Alderlea.

My mopping-up had several in- terruptions today-—alone as 1 was. ' t it in the morning" Karolyn

ad advised me airily yesterday evening, when among them they had forgotten my cake of yeast. She always so she told me, sets hers in the morning "and before you know it" she aaid "it's ready for the pans-and the baking." I was a little tired, at the time and besides, she was to send me out the necessary yeast-cake with Jock and Jeanie, when they would re- turn from taking Rob and Karolyn and Jamie home last evening. Ac- cordingly, I attended to the bread- mixlng ceremony, while the break- fast was in the course of prepara- tion. I mixed and patted and knead- cd, adding a mite more flour and then a little more water, until l.’ was well satisfied, that something extra tasty would come out of that

February disappeared, quietly, and March, the variable one, with the shamrocks‘ greening came in its place. Not on farms does one month actually replace the other, with the same work, for with the turn- ing, time in its ceaseless roll brings new and fresh activities with every month-in an endless chain.

how to handle money. The suckers grave. No matter how many times sold blue sky by any glib talker. And the men and women who have holes in their pockets never sew them up.

I had a friend who was alternately rich and poor. She inherited t-hree different fortunes and spent them. Each time I would think that her experience would have taught her to take care of her money, but it didn't. And she died without a cent.

And marriage. Doesn't it seem that a man and woman who had had a bitterly unhappy matrimonial experience would hesitate to try it again and would’. at least, look over the new prospect with a wary eye? Yet women who have had husbands who beat them and starved and were unfaithful to them, and men who have been cursed with wives who were viragoes and nuggets. who made their lives a torment to them, can hardly wait to get their divorces to get married again. Nor do they use any more discretion in picking out their Number Twos than

Then the daily spals that wreck so many homes. The inability of so many husbands and wives to get along harmoniously is the direct result of their never learning anything from experience. No man and woman can live together in wedlock for even a month. i0 55y not-bins of years, without knowing every quirk of the other! disposition and character. And if they had not been too dumb to learn. experience would have taught them how to keep off each othet-‘s sore points.
