IN SPITE OE THE HEAT.
A Double Marriage In Brooklyn ON
the Hottest Day OF the Week--The
Brides as Bright and Good as they
are Pretty.
New York Letter to Springfield Republican.

New York Letter to Springfield Republican.
There have been countless weddings
of all degrees of elaborateness and sim
plicity. One of the most notable and
beautiful was the double marriage
last Thursday of the elder daughters of
Gorden L. Ford, publisher of the
Tribune. Although the day was the
hottest of the week, and the ceremony
at the rather inconvenient hour of 2
p. m., Grace church in Brooklyn, where
the marriage took place, was filled to
lis utmost capacity. The brides are
very pretty girls, and as bright and
good as they are pretty, so it was
pleasure for their hosts Of friends to
brave the terrible heat to see them we'd
ded. The whole ceremonial was SO
simple and graceful, SO girlish and full
of the tender feeling of the occasion
that it is worth recording as model.
According to the prevailing English Gus
tom, Robert II. Turtle and VIM. r, Barr,
entered the chancel from the vestry,
just as the procession, with delightful
promptness, entered the main aisle.
First walked the six ushers in pairs,
then the six bridesmaids dressed in
dainty plufy, null gowns and rough
straw hats trimmed with white. A
curious circumstance was that the
bridesmaids were all lovely brunettes,
whereas the brides were all delicate
blondes Whether this was accidental
or not the pictorial effect was charming,
as they were grouped around the altar.
Following the bridesmaids came a
younger sister and brother of the brides,
and after them little sister of the
brides, as if desirous to walk together
until the very moment when their sis
terly paths should divide forever. Be
hind the brides came their parents who
closed the procession. 1t is usual in
the case of double weddings for one
couple to be united first, and then step
aside for the other, which makes long
and embarrassing pause for the pair
waiting. In this case, however, the SER
vice was read, first to one, and then to
the other, alternating, SO that the whole
ceremony was over at once, and it was
so great an improvement that it is we'll
worth noting. Everything about the
occasion was in such perfect taste that
a stranger could not have failed to have
been pleased with the picture, even
though he felt no interest in the affair.
OF course there were notable people
present: Whilelaw Reid and his niece,
Mrs. George Ripley, Mrs. F. A. P. Ber-
nafd, wife of the president of Columbia
college, Mrs. John Sherwood, better
known to magazine readers as Mrs. F.
W. S., and many others, although a
large number of New York guests were
prevented by the hour Of the ceremony
from attending.

Taking Comfort rs You Go.

Looking ahead for happiness in this
world has been compared to "bottling
sunshine for next years use." Taking
comfort as we 60 on is the only way to
make sure of it; and a writer in the
Christian at Work thus points the moral:
"You, proud mother of beautiful,
active boy, of what use will it be to you
by and by to remember how exquisitely
fine was his raiment, how daintily
spread his bed, and how costly and pro-
fuse his toys: What the child needs is
mothering, brooding, tender resting on
your heart; and he needs itevery step
of the way from baby days to manhood.
Take the comfort ofvour opportunities.
Never mind though the dress be coarse,
and the food plain, and the playtlings
few, but answer the questions, tell the
stories, spare the half-heur at bedtime,
and be merry and gay, confidential and
sympathetic, with your boy. And you,
whose graceful daughter is just blush
ing out into the bloom and freshness
of wondrously fair womanliness, do
not be SO occupied with your ambition
for her, and your desire for her advance
ment il, life, that you let her ways and
your own fall apart. Why are her
friends, her interests and her engage
ments SO wholly separate and distinct
from yours? Why does she visit here
and there, and receive visitors from
this or that home, and the comfort you
ought to take is flying fast away on those
wings of time that are never overtaken.
To descend to some homely matters,
how little comfort some of us take in
comparison with what we might Have
we not, for instance, through mere care
lessness, sometimes deferred the pur-
chase of pair Of slippers for weeks and
weeks, going around with worn out
things, Of which we have been ashamed,

as w..
A stranger, bearing that seedy, rusty
outline which fastens to a man who
lives on free lunches and sleeps under
stairways, walked boldly into Wood
ward avenue store the other day and
asked for the proprietor. After some
remarks about the weather, politics.
ETC., he stated:
~ am obliged to acknowledge that I
am somewhat embarrassed. If could
secure loan of $40 of you until reach
Cincinnati I would then forward my
check and be greatly obliged"
"But don't know you,' replied the
merchant. f.

"Not just now. I am at present
managing an estate. +"
He was informed, after little further
discussion, that he must apply else
where. He bowed himself out, but re-
turned in half an hour and said:
Pardon my intrusion. As you do
not feel like lending me any money,
perhaps you wouldn't object to giving
me line stating that you would stand
security for my board for q week
The merchant gave him to under
stand that he did object, and the stran-
ger retires in good order. Directly after
dinner he came again, and he seemed
in better spirits.

Now that you are being courted you

he sees you as many times a day as he
wants to, and maybe more; when he
sees your head done up regularly every
morning in curl papers and the bloom
is all off the rye; when your home con-
tains good deal of wash tub, cradle

hour in front Of the house out in the

or tramping through the house in heavy
walking-boots, when we might as we'll
have had our feet agreeably dressed,
and been able to move about in silent
ease? Have we not known that cur
tain at this window, or shade at that
one, an easy chair in this corner, or
foot stool in that nook, would make our
rooms ever SO much pleasanter, and
still we have neglected making the al
teration, and submitted to unnecessary
discomfort?
In the matter of glasses for failing
sight, how many people put them on
too soon, and how many too late, and
how often we see sensible men and wo-
men straining their eyes in the dim and
uncertain dusk, when a match and a
lamp, would make room like day !?
How we endure the creaking of a hinge,
sometimes for months, when all that is
wanted to cure it is drop of oil and a
feather! Resignation to the inevitable
has an element of the heroic in its calm,
but the lazy submission to annoyances
which an energetic will would not suffer
for day, is by no means prase-worthy.
