hymn, and Young prays feFyenty. the
Pronhet used to eat at the harem with his
wives. but he seldom does SO now. In the

dren at the common table. The same food Is
given to all, and the bill Of fare is by no means
a poor one. Brigham, from time to time, de.
signates some Of his wives to take charge Of
the cooking, and they remain on duty until
relieved. During the day the women walk
out sew, sing, play the piano in the parlor,. or
walk with the children. Most Of them spin,
make cloth and color it. They are very proud
OF their cloth and embroidery. In the evening
all hands go to the theatre, where every one
of Brigham's wives has reserved seat
1t is said that Young literally supplies his
wives with money, and on fine days they drive
out and go shopping. He employs a music
teacher, French teacher and dancing-master
for the use of his household. Brigham's wo-
men are well dressed, bat still they have to
work hard, and he keeps up O wholesome dis
cipline over them.
Near the harem stands the Bee Hive House,
handsome building that cost s65, 1000, and In
which Brlgham's oldest wife and her, children
formerly lived, but which Is now used as sort
of boarding house for the workmen, and ls
superintended by Lucy Decker.
On the hill beyond the Bee Hive is the White
House, where Brigham's first wife now lives,
with her sons and daughters. Brigham's home
is fair to look upon, but Anna Dickinson best
describes 1t when she says 1t is a 'whited Sc
pulchre."
