Only relatives and very intimate friends were in attend ance, but the occasion was enjoya ble and all of the appointments were perfect. The couple was attended by Miss Rjena Rohrig and Byron Johnson. A spirit of beautiful hu mor pervaded the atmosphere, and Hymen received his just deserts. The bride's dress was a beauti fully designed lace made over cream ? silk. and she carried a bunch of choice chrysanthemums. The groom wore the conventional black. Fol lowing the coremony an elegant six course dinner was served in the new and well appointed dining room of the Dobson home-the first meal to be served therein. The tables were tastefully arranged and decorated. The wedding cake was a gorgeous piece of culinary achievement, deco rated by Mrs. Bauer, receiver of the first prize for decorated wedding cakes at the fair. Among the many and valuable pres ents were a Japanese tea service, presented by Mrs. Argue, the bride's aunt, of Temple, and a silver service presented by the bride's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. W.

Woman Doctor Wins Her Way. (New York Press.) Even in Russia women are winning their way to positions of trust in ac tive competition with men. For ex ample. Fraulein G. /and, of Plock, Russian Poland, has b en appointed city physician In Charkow against the j organized opposition of all the men ! doctors in tile lits. lt was expected confidently she would not be named I for the office, by reason of the power , ol' ber opponents. She appeared be- ? j fore the appointing board, however, , i and In support of her application , ; said she pointed only to her record as a student and in a practical ox- ! perience. The board took her at her ' word, and In a comparison of all the candidates she was found to bo the ; most promising. So she was appoint ed, the' explanation being that the choice was made Imperative by her superior fitness. Practically the en tire responsibility for the health con ditions of the elly will rest upon her. She has been praised as one of the most brilliant doctor? in all Russia, and even those who opposed her for office were forced to admit ber quali fications for the position. These op ponents objected only on the ground of her sex, and were over-ruled. Managing n Wife. A New York paper recently offered a prize for the best thought on "How to manage a wife." The following was awarded the prize: " 'Manage?' What ls that? Does lt mean to con trol? We manage a horse. We use our superior human Intellect to guide and control his superior physical st length so as to obtain the best re sults. But a wife ls not a horse. Where two persons are well married, tho wife is superior to her husband In many respects as ho ls superior to her In others, if happiness ls to be the result of the union the husband ls to manage himself so as to keep himself always his wife's respectful friend, always her tender lover, al ways her equal partner, always her superior protector. This will neces sarily always stimulate tho wife to be an admiring frlond, always an af fectionate sweetheart, always a thrif ty housewife, always a confiding ward. And this will so react upon the husband that his lovo for his wife will grow so as to make lt easy for the husband, with all his faults, to hear with the infirmities of his 'one and only' wife."
