THE WOMANLESS WEDDING
One of the most enjoyable and fi
nancially successful entertainments
ever given in Marianna was the pro
duction of the Womanless Wedding
at the high school auditorium on
lust FHiav nighi The idea was en
tirely patriotic, the contracting part
ies being America and England, or
Miss America" and “John Bull."
Mr. M. E. Newbern very capably rep
resented the Statue of Liberty and
announced the wedding guests as
thev approached, ushered in by Mr.
Reid. The idea, while patriotic, was
entirely Ridiculous, all the characters
being represented by men. Mr. Burk
Mann represented America and R. E.
Wild acted the character of John
Bull. The . flower girls and candle
bearers w'ere beautifully represented
by Messrs. Mitchener, Franklin.
Wright and Williams, who, in their
dainty costumes of pink and white,
were received with loud applause.
Perhaps no other member of the
party received more of an ovation
than W. P. Harris, elegantly attired
in black lace, jet trimmed, imperso
nating the mother of the bride. Co
lumbia. The bride’s maids, each rep
resenting one of the allied countries,
were Messrs Robertson. Daggett,
Turner and Benham. In fact, all the
different characters were ably chari
catured. representing different for
eign nations with the war interest
depicted.
Before the wedding party arrived
quit a delightful musical program
was rendered by Mesdames. Mayo.
Smith and Word, interspersed with
readings by Mrs. H. M. Jackson and
Miss Martha Russ. The Young La
dies’ Club of the Methodist church
deserves much credit for the success
of the entertainment, aad after all
the expenses wrere paid, they had
more than one hundred dollars to
place in the bank.
***•
A most enjoyable affair was the
meeting of the Country Club at the
home of Mrs Chas Warfield at Lexa
last Saturday afternoon, when she
entertained four tables with a bridge
luncheon. Besides the regular mem
bers of the club she had several
ladies from Marvell and Marianna
to enjoy her hospitality. The games
of bridge were delightfully animated
and the club prize was won by Mrs.
Bogan Gist and the guest prize went
to Mrs. McDonald of Marvell. Those
who were invited from here were
Miss N'ena Govan. Mesdames. D. S.
Clark. Brian Frazier and Arthur
Potter.
* * * *
The Woman's Self Culture Club of
Marianna held its first regular meet
ing of the new club year in the club
rooms on Thursday afternoon of last
week, with Miss Frances Derrick, the
president, presiding. The year’s study
is based on early American history.
The program for the afternoon was
taken from Washington Irving’s
Sketch Book. Mrs. D. S. Clark read
a very interesting paper on the life
of the Knglish. and the discussion of
Irving's friends by Mrs. S. Goldstein
was very instructive. Mrs. D. S.
Clark was chosen delegate to the
State Federation that meets in Fort
Smith the last of the month. Mrs
Dick Ray was elected alternate del
egate. Mrs. W. S McClinteck will
go to the federation as the presi
dent’s appointee.

noon of next w eek. They hope to;
have extra music, appropriate for the

they hope to get recruits to their
ranks and renew interest in the club.

played and they hope to have suf
frage buttons for distribution among

(By Mrs. J. I. Morris)
It is indeed a great pleasure to be
able to report that there seems to
be a greater interest manifested in
our Red Cross work than hereto
fore. The ladies are turning out
some beautiful work, and a greater
amount of work than we have been
doing is now being finished every
day. On Wednesday, October 24, we
are going to have on display at the
city hall some of our hospital gar
ments and supplies, and I trust every
man. woman and child will come in
and look over this display, and see
what (he ladies of Marianna and Lee
county have been doing for the cause
of humanity.

Three hundred and fifty members.
Won't you help us make it 600? The
dues are very small, only $1 per
year. How many times do you throw
away $1 in a year? Do you think of
any place you could spend a dollar
tl.at would give you more real
pleasure than by paying one dollar
to become a Red Cross member, and
do your bit for humanity’s cause?

AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM MAURICE BLOCK
PARAGOULD BOY, NOW IN AMBU
LANCE SERVICE IN FRANCE,
HAS WITNESSED AIR BATTLES
AND WATCHED BIG GUNS FIRE.
Miss Esther Horne of this city,
formerly employed in the insurance
I office of Maurice Block of Paragould,
i has just received a letter from Mr.
i Block who is now in the ambulance
I service in France. Mr. Block, the
only son of Mr. and Mrs. J D.
1 Block of Paragould, with his cousin.
John King of Wynne, sailed for
France several months ago. He had
; occasion to write Miss Horne on
some business matters and incident
ally told her something about his
j work in France. Portions of the let
ter that will be of interest to the pub
| lie follow:
“I am now at the front and life is
I very interesting. You should be
glad you gave up nursing, as it is
very hard. The nurses are busy all
the time and it is very hard for them.
; I have seen two aeroplane battles
and they are awfully interesting.
The result was very good for the
I French
“We drive Fiat ambulances. They
i carry six wounded that lie down and
i eight that sit up. so you see they are
rather large cars. We drive them up
to a post de second, which is very
near the trenches and there the
| brancardiers put them in our cars
and then we take them to the hos
j pitals. There are several kinds of
the latter—some for fractures, some
[ for maladies, some for severely
wounded and others for contagious
diseases.
* France is a very pretty country—
very rolling and no waste lands. The
French people are polite and appre
ciative. The French language is
hard to learn, as there are so many
exceptions and only two genders—no
neuter gender in French
“Our food is very good, consisting
i of meat, potatoes, rice, bread and
I wine—lots of it. We sleep in our
' ambulances on stretchers,
“The French soldiers are called
1 Poilus. They are very small in
stature as a rule. It is very inter
esting to hear the whistle of the in
I coming and outgoing shells and to
i watch the artillery batteries, fire.
| 1 have been to one w’hile it was in
action. Everybody, when close to
the front, sleeps in dugouts twenty
! to thirty feet under the ground.”
The address of Mr. Block is Con
| vois Autos, S. S. U. 71, Par. B. C. M„
