The. bride, who was given in marriage by Dr. Harry Teter. wore gray wool suit, flower hat of pinlc and gray nnd an orchid cor- the time one learns to make the most of''life the most ol it's gone." We like that definition of an executive as "one who gets paid for having sense enough to hire somebody else to do the work." E.G. SISTERHOOD F71OR some time now members of Lubbock's two P.

E. O. chap- ers have, looked forward to entertaining the annual Texas meeting of the international Sisterhood which will be held here Wednesday and Thursday. Promoting education for women is the greatest of this society that is represented in 32 states, British Columbia, Hawaii, Alaska and the District of Columbia. Membership comes by invitation.

Those who arc not familiar with the of this Sisterhood may 'be interested to learn that some years ago F. E. O. was scribed as "a college sorority that has gone afield." Organized in 1863 at Iowa Wesleyan college, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, by seven young women students, it was among the earliest societies for women formed in a college.

There something about P. E. O. that held its members after they left the campus and other "societies" were formed, far from a college. When the college women following the pattern of men's groups, became a Greek letter institution and were confined to the campus, P.

E. unwilling to change its English letters, and to abandon its chapters, becam'e a city organization, P. E. O. has more than two mil- 'lion dollars invested in the education of women, through a loan fund'of more than $800,000 and a Junior College for Girls, Cotly Nevada, Mo.

i POWERFUL PLAYING 'Sentitive-faced, slender young William Kapell has power in those swift fingers. At a recent concert he gave at a southern girls' school he broke strings on'two grand pianos, According to his press releases, the young pianist strives to achieve a beautiful singjng tone and to get at the -bottom of what the composer meant when he wrote the mu- sic. Certainly he achieved those aims here. When you listen to his brilliant playing you find yourself thinking that perhaps there is something to reincarnation and that Chopin genius (one of KapeH's favorites) lives again in the young musician. Kn-.

pell says he has no forebear who took any particular interest in music; that he just "happened to be a musician." His'mother is a native of Poland and his father is New Yorker ol Russian and Spanish heritage. SCATTERINGS I T'S going to be the women of the country to whom advertising for men's hats will be made. Theme: "The right hat on the right man makes YOU (the woman) look The other night following the Knife and Fork dinner, Dr. Ewell L. Hunt accompanied the guest speaker to Wylie's drug store and on seeing the 'proprietor said, "Mr.

-Wylie this is ArcKduke Felix of. Austria." With a level look at the two Mr. Wylic replied, "You can't get by Mrs. Weitzmnn is a graduate of Texas Tech. Mr.

Weitzman served four years in the army and was stationed at Lubbock Army Air Field two years. After a wedding trip to New Orleans, the couple will be at home in Fort Worth. The tifr town! Brown caff A learher soles: ALL SIZES. Lc.d'1 In V.lu» 913 BROADWAY with that Dr. Hunt.

I know, it April Fool It should be definite by now that nylons have received more free publicity than any other commodity ever offered for sale. The J. Ray Dickeys spent two Anxious days last week in'establishing telephone connection with their only gon, Richard, one of Uncle Sam's Navy boys who is stationed in Hawaii. Finally when his young voice came over the wave-washed sound his first words were, "Say, is anything the matter?" The tidal waves missed his station by about two miles he told his parents but in flying patrol he has seen some of the devastation wrought by'the rushing wall of water. Muriel King, American designer who recently returned to New York niter a stay in the Hollywood film capital, uses crisp touches of white pique to highlight necklines and lapels, likes shoulders which look natural and yet are sculptured to the right proportion and accents the slender waistline without resorting to bunchiness above or below.

She says clothes should be designed for specific needs. Recently Gertrude Stein wrote "In the United States there is more space where nobody is than where anybody is." Do you suppose she has traveled over that long stretch Snyder to Post to Post to Post or has been on a lonely stretch in New Mexico oi- is it that she has seen the Mohave desert, the desert, the desert. America's divorce rate constitutes a greater threat than the atom bomb, Rev. John A. O'Brien, philosophy professor ot Notre Dame university, said at St.

Louis last week. "Divorce," he said, "is the sledge hammer now blasting one out of every four which will ultimately cause America to decay from within like imperial Rome. rpHE owner of the one yard in -L every neighborhood where all the children habitually gather for their games and to beg n. bite to eat enjoys it as a proof ol popularity or something. But usually his distinction kindles surprisingly little envy among his neigh- fors.
