one of his hands she takes the other in
one of hers. Then let them softly kiss
each other. This brings out all the fire.

The fancy jewelry with which mil
liners are covering bonnets will also be
used upon suits. Waists are adorned

The Recamier style of dressing the
hair is now the favorite. In it the hair
is combed up from the nape of the neck
and puff of curls is placed at the top of
the head. The hair in. front is also
combed upward, but the fringe over the

ADAMS WEDDING.
Though Adam and Eve were full young to
wed,
They managed the matter right well;
No arrangements were made, there was no
| vain parade,
No Jenkins" the story to tell.
| Their wedding was quiet as quiet could be;
They cooked no provisions to waste,
And to wed in a garden among the green
Was surely the height of good taste
Would it not be relief to our anxious
mammas
If simplicity sweet could revive?
'Twould be cash in the pockets of harassed

And young men would be eager to wive.
No costly outfit, no big frosted cake,
No care about jewel or glove;
| There would be no reception and no bridal
tour
There would only be Eden and love.

in the habit of going to his office about
eight a. m made an extra effort and APP
peared at seven o'clock, ready to dis
charge his duties. Judge of his surprise

where you have been spending the fore
