E. Lee Memorial church on Wednesday, Nov. 25, when Miss Marie Stuart Lewis became the bride of Captain St. Julian Ravenel Marshall. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. John Rodman Coxe Lewis of Lexington,, and is related to many prominent Virginia fami-lies. Captain Marshall is the ad-jutant at V. M. L His family is well known m this state. The church was decorated with palms and lighted by numerous candles. At 6 o'clock the notes of the Lohengrin march, render-ed by iv^iss Janie Miller, pealed forth, and the bridal party enter-ed the church, the bride leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. Laurence F. Lewis of Richmond. She was met at the altar by Cap-tain Marshall, who was attended by his father, Captain Richard C. Marshall of Portsmouth. The ceremony was impressively per-formed by Rev. W. Cosby Bell. The bride wore a princess gown of chiffon voile, trimmed with Irish point lace. She wore the same jewels that had adorn-ed her mother as a bride. The maid of honor was Miss Mabel Eleanor Boyer of Baltimore, who was attired in an empire gown of pink point d'esprit over silk. She carried pink carnations. The groomsmen. Captain Rich-ard C. Marshall, Jr., U. S. C. A. C., Colonel Thomas A. Jones, Captain Richard B. Burroughs, and Captain Murray F. Edwardf-. of the V. M. L, with the groom, wore full uniform and side arms. The other attenclants were Messrs. Cary R. Wilson and Duvall W. Gwathmey of Norfolk, Mr. Rosser Coke of Dallas, Tex., and Mr. Robinson Wycross of Wycross, Ga. The body of the church was filled with friends of bride and groom among whom was the corps of cadets. After the ceremony a reception was tendered the members of the bridal [)arty by i the bride's mother. Later Mr. | and Mi's, Marshall loft for an j extended trip in the North.

"The corps is degenerating year by year," he said, "The cadets are younger and more pampered than when we were here, and they do not seem to ^ have the same spirit." .

"Sure!" cried Van, "My suit case is in the tonneau and I'll throw it out at your quarters. By the way, I wonder where I can stow away my machine ?" They were out of doors now and McCurdy stumbled in the dark and swore explosively be-fore he answered. ' 'The cannon shed will do, won't it ?" "Yes, fine. Jump in." He cranked the engines and taking the driver's seat drove up to the Administration Building in which Continued on page 3 doggedly, " i t ' s true as I say, thej cadets seem to have lost the| pride which we had to such aj marked degree. They are molly-coddles, everyone of them." "You are wrong. Fellows may change but the pride of the corps is like House Mountain, it's part of the scenery. Say what you will, it will stay with this old Institute as long as House Mountain stays over there in the West to shield the eyes of i the corps at Battalion Parade." "Who was i t , " asked Payne, "told us when we were rats that "Old Billy" had had House Mountain placed there for the shade it threw on the parade grounds ?" "Lord knows," grinned Van, "but it sounds like one of Joe Pennington's yarns." They all laughed and Mc- Curdy looked at his watch. "By Jove!" he exclaimed, "it's eight o'clock and the mill is pulled off at 8:30. We've got to hustle." "There's no hurry. I can put you at the Opera House in five I minutes." ! "That's all right for you Van, • but we have to put on 'cits' clothes." McCurdy arose and As Payne was leaving, Vander-hart called, "Meet us at the front sally port [in twenty minutes." Payne stopped and swore. "I am sorry. Van, but I am on duty and can't leave barracks." " 0 the devil!" Van grunted dismally, "can't you cut the duty for tonight ?" "No. We're not cadets now and duty doesn't consist merely in not being caught." " I 'm sorry Fuzzy, but can't you possibly " "Not tonight Van. So long." And so it happened when at 8:30, the Mercedes drew up in front of Opera House; only two men leap-ed out and getting their tickets, were soon seated before the stage where they joined the impatient crowd in a vigorous demonstra-tion of whistling and stamping to shop that they were ready for the show. Now the opera house in this Presbyterian cemetery is a wick-ed and soul-destroying agency, condenmed by all good citizens and patronized only by reprobates and back-sliders.

TALK OF OLD DAYS The organization of the Alum-ni of the Virginia Military Insti-tute took place last night at a smoker held at the Lorraine hotel at which were present matricu-lates from 1849 until 1907, and the speakers of the old school grew reminiscent and told of the days when the V. M. 1. had no chef as it boasts of today, but were hapyy in the thought that old Jam, the cook, stood always ready with the substantial dishes of pre-construction days, with al the new-fangled embellishments left off. The occasion was in compli-ment to General E. W. Nichols, superintendent of the V. M. L, who is in Norfolk on a brief visit. The smoker was tendered by the graduates and former cadets of the school. The following officers were elected: Colonel George W. Tay-lor, president; Capt. P. E. Yeat-man, vice-president; John Jen-kins, treasurer, and I- Branch Johnson, secretary. Mr. John-son was not able to be present, having been called out of the city. Upon his return a meeting will be called of the officers when plans will be laid for regular meetings of the alumni. Colonel George W. Taylor was toastmaster. In introducing Gen-eral Nichols he paid him a glow-ing tribute for his work since his term of office began: and re-sponding, General Nichols de-clared that there was nothing too hard, nor no task too great for him to undertake for old V.

He compared the life of a cadet in 1898 to to the period of 1849, when he was graduated from the Institute, and said in those days the cadets made their own fires, cleaned and maintained their own lamp, to say nothing of pumping the water from the old wells and carrying it up four fights of stairs preliminary to the morning bath.
