2D The Parts Newi, Oct. 28, 1984 The double-ring wedding vows of Miss Vicki Kaye Chapman and Shawn Dyke Jordan were solemnized in a semi-formal ceremony at 7 o'clock Saturday evening, Oct. 27, at the Providence Baptist Church. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

The bride's illusion veiling fell from a band of white flowers and was accented with white satin ribbon and white flowers. She carried a cascade of silk pink and white roses, cranberry miniature carnations, baby's breath and white satin ribbon accented with pink, white and cranberry sheer ribbons.

JORDAN were hsots for a dinner at the Providence Church following the wedding rehearsal. Rebekahs confer degree Erma By Erma Bombeek Supermarket is greatest challenge One by one the mystiques of men and women are crumbling. We have done in-depth psychological studies on why men like football, why women buy shoes that hurt their feet, why men refuse to answer the phone when it rings, and why women go to the restroom in twos. But no one has had the courage to study how a woman can go into the supermarket for a quart of milk and emerge with two full shopping carts. THE EASY answer is when women enter a supermarket, the air becomes thinner and they black out.

When the air hits them, they are $103.93 thinner than when they went in. The real answer takes longer and is more complicated. First, a little history. Women have always been foragers for food. In the animal kingdom, it is the female lion who drags back an impala for lunch and then sits there while the males stuff themselves before she gets to eat.

In the days B.S. (Before Supermarkets), the men used to track down something furry with bad breath and bring it home to be cleaned, cooked and served by the little woman. When the first general store came upon the scene, men (and wisely so) gave the job back to women. They told them it would be a social experience where they could visit with neighbors, buy a piece of candy for the kids, a length of calico for themselves and then load up the buckboard with a year's provisions. THE SUPERMARKET experience, as we know it today, is not for sissies.

It begins with the cart delicately engineered so that when you push it forward it runs backward over your foot. You go from the heat of revolving barbecue spits in the cart where the child's legs can kick you in the stomach as you shop. There's the Garden of Eden waiting room (at the check-out) featuring gum, The National Inquisition, fresh flowers, sunglasses and fresh baked croissasnts to tempt you. Aisle upon aisle is lined with free entry blanks (win a trip to Florida), sample pizza and pastrami, bonus coupons, introductory offers, coupons to be redeemed, get one free, new, improved, revolutionary, buy me, try me. SMALL WONDER women shop for two hours and get home to find they have nothing edible to cook for dinner.

When a woman goes into a supermarket for a quart of milk, it's perhaps the greatest challenge she will face in her entire life. I cannot tell you the pressure of trying to get down an aisle without a cookie reaching out and whining, "Make me yours," or a bag of potato chips jumping into her arms and whispering sensuously, "You need me." The supermarkets are women's Mount Everest, their Olympic Marathon, their Armageddon. We're fighting for our lives. I know you wouldn't understand. Dinner honors Pink Angels The initiatory degree was conferred on Don Flowers bys the degree staff under the direction of Mrs.

Warren Daves, team captain, when Paris Rebekah Lodge No. 20 met Monday evening. Mrs. Booker McGee, noble grand, presided over the business session. Mrs.

Curtis C. Fendley presented the Candle of Faith service. She read a poem, "Keep Going" from a book of poems belonging to her mother, the late Mrs. Maude Bridges. Mrs.

Boyd Griffin was secretary pro tern. Mrs. McGee reported 26 chairs were purchased by the finance committee for the lodge. Mrs. Daves, lodge deputy, stated all members are urged to attend the meetings of the Three Link Study Club every fourth Monday.

The unwritten work is taught to the new members each meeting night and a covered-dish supper is served. A bingo party and supper will be held on Oct. 29. All Rebekahs and Odd Fellows and their families are urged to attend and to bring a covered-dish. After lodge closed, refreshments were served by Mrs.

Carl J. Musick and Mrs. David Clarkson. The table was covered with a Halloween cloth and centered with a paper pumpkin witch flanked by pewter candle holders with orange tapers. The candle holders were a gift from the late Mrs.

Lena Allman, a member of the Paris lodge. The next meeting will be at 7:15 p.m. on Nov. 5 in the lodge hall. Pageant scheduled Nov.
