provoking He was right down gentle
man, though he said he was only farmer"
Poor Ada! Her modification had Just
begun. That evening, with silk hat dotted
from the handsome head, faultlessly arrayed
Mr.. Allen Waters presented himself in the
little parlor of the Hollyhocks, and, intro
ducing himself, begged leave to inquire if
the young ladies had reached home quite
safe.
Ada apologized quite eagerly, and tried to
be sweet, but Mr.. Waters seemed to have
eyes only for Doras brunette face
He came again and again to the Holly
hooks, and at last one day boldly declared
himself Dora's lover.
"You have known me but such little
while, you do not know half my faults" she
murmured.

dollars that day."
"And did you never get ?" cried Dora,
aghast.

your half dollar, and had rather have it."
Such an incorrigble fellow as that, of

Mrs Allen Waters. She loves her husband

him gentleman And Ada is in the sulks.

w edding Days

The wedding day may be the most event.
full day of a woman's life, but 1t is not the
happiest, though it is conventionally called
so. Nor is it the mans. Both the chief
parties to a wedding cut rather awkward
figures and play difficult parts on the day
when they are made one in the presence of
| great concourse Of friends, neighbors and
indifferent people. The only brides who
can really enjoy a wedding day are those
who do not care much for their bridegrooms
or who have struggled toward marriage I'M
der circumstances which convert their we'd
ding days into splendid personal triumphs
In humber life, when girl marries man
who is her superior in station, she must ex-
perience a moment of exquisite delight when
her union is consecrated amid circle of en-
vious friends.
But to an ordinary couple who love each
other, and whose match is so well assorted
in respect to age, station and fortune that it
excites no wonder,'the wedding day is GER
tainly n tiresome one. The two young peo-
Pile are impatient to be united, and they
glory in the day which is to make them
man and wife; but all the formalities of
nuptials seem TO them most tedious The
bride expectant rises in the morning, unre-
freshed by seepless night and nervous in
anticipation of the days proceedings. A
glance at her mirror shows her that she is
not looking her best. Correctly speaking,
man has no rights over his bride till the
wedding service is over, and consequently
has no business to kiss her before strangers,
but at court weddings, royal bridegrooms
settle the difficulty by compromise, and
kiss their brides ON the hands. Lucky the
bridegroom who can laugh on wedding
day.
The worst of a dismal bridegroom Is that
his glum looks may work upon his brides
nerve, and make her cry. There are brides
who feel called upon to sob in church, ut the
breakfast and again at the hour of depart
ing Anything is better than this. The
bridegroom cuts most miserable figure
when he is made TO appear as brute who
is carrying off an impressionable maiden
against her will, and the bride herself docs
not shine out to her greatest advantage when
she lapses into the melting mood several
times over in one day. Some tears are, Of
course, excusable, and one honest, unpre-
meditated outburst at the moment when
the newly-wedded wife leaves the home
where she has been so happy is but proof
Of good -heartedness, which the bridegroom
should note as u glad augury, seeing that
cold-hearted girls do not, as rule, make
warmly attached wives. On the whole,
however, let wedding be mirthful without
levity; and rs it is the bridegroom who
strikes the keynote Of the prevailing scnt-
ment at a wedding, let him clothe his iea-
lures in serenity.-LOnd0n Truth

The Old-Fashioned Girl.

She flourished thirty or forty years ago.
She was little girl until she was fifteen.
She used TO help her mother wash the dishes
and keep the kitchen tidy, and she had an
ambition 10 make pies 50 nicely that papa
could not tell the difference between them
and mammals, and she could fry griddle
cakes at ten years of age and darn her own
stockings before she was twelve to say moth
ing Of knitting them herself
She never said 81 can't and al don't want
to- to her mother when asked TO leave her
play, or run up stairs or down on an errand,
because she had not been brought up in
that way. Obedience was a cardinal virtue
in the old fashioned girl
She rose in the morning when she WINS
called and went out into the garden and saw
the dew on the grass; and II she lived in tho
country she fed the chickens and hunted up
the eggs for broakftst
We do not suppose .he had her hair In
curl-papers, or crimping-p.ns, or had Il
"5anged' over her forehead and her hounces
were no trouble to her.
She learned TO sew by making patch work
aud we dare say she could do an "over-snd-
over seam as we'll w nine-tenths Of the
grown up women do nowadays.
The old-fashioned little girl did not grow
into young lady and talk about her beaux
before she was in her teens, and was not
fancying hero in every plow-boy she met.
She learned tho solid accomplishments M
she grew up. She was taught the art Of
cooking and housekeeping. When she got
a husband she knew how to cook him u
dinner.
She did not think she know as much as
her mother, and that her judgment was IN
good as her grandmother's.
And If there be an old-iashloned little girl,
in the world to-day, may heaven bless her,
aud keep her, and raise up others like her.

OAK HALL, PHILADELPHIA.
W0rtb
Kn0aVing.

There is a place in Phila-
delphia where a stranger
may buy his clothes, and
fare as we'll as if he knew
the whole city by heart; and
if he knows nothing about
the value of cloths, or of
clothes, he is as well off, as
if he were a good judge of
both.
The reason is that every
thing to be found there is
made there-made and sold
under a system which rarely
allows mistakes to occur, and
which corrects them, if they
do occur.
OAK HALL is the place;
and its practice may be
summed up in a few words.
If you get there what you
don't want to keep at the
price, you return it, and get
your money back.
This means a great deal
more than appears on the
surface. 1t means that you
are not going to get what
you will not want to keep at
the price, if the merchant can
help it. 1t means that the
clothes you get there will be
of honest cloths, honestly
made; and that they will
cost you less than as good
clothes can be got for else
where. 1t means that they
will be every way better
worth your money than you
can get elsewhere for the
same money.
If it means anything less
than these things-ifit means
poor cloths, trimmings, cut
ting, sewing, or in any way
dishonest or Liberal dealing;
the return of his goods will
plague the merchant, injure
his credit and dissipate his
trade.
If it means these things
fit means liberal and honor
able dealing, valuable and
trusty clothing, ease and
safetyin getting it, OAK HALL
is the place for you to go to,
or to send to; and it is worth
your while to know how you
can send, if it is inconvenient
to go.
Write; say what your
occupation is say what
sort of use you intend to
make of the clothes you
want, whether for everyday
wear or otherwise; what
color you prefer, or what
color to avoid; say about
what you want to pay; say
everything that you think
may aid a stranger in
choosing for you. You
will get in reply samples
of cloths and prices of what
ever you want made from
those cloths. You will get
also the means of having
your measure taken by an
unskilful person.
There is only one diff
Guilty left. Somebody has
got to take the risks Of the
dealing; for there are risks.
Send your money along
with your order. That
covers the risk as to your
good faith. We risk every
thing else; the fit, and
your satisfaction every way.
Our trade by mail
amounts to half a million
dollars a year; there's no
reason why it shouldn't
amount to five millions.

The Garfield family is described by a
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Enquirer
as Indifferent to the greatness which has
crowned the head OF it. While Governor
Foster was visiting the Presidentelect at
Mentor, one of the chubby, curly headed
sons of Garfield took piece of chalk and
wrote 1929" all over the house, against the
porch, the gable of the barn and the
fences. Garfield looked at the perform.

did you ever see the ingratitude of sons ex.
emplihed like that?"
