often thought that Smith when he was
pressing his suit for the hand Of the
bride and she hes.tated Of she did hest
tatel he with a sigh for her encourage
ment would assure her by saying
~DIeadnaught." Now we are not say
ing this out 81 enyy-we are not that
sort of a man; but we often think that
a poor devil has but a slim show in this
world. But what has this TO do with
the toilette? The bride was dressed
in a walking suit of navy blaze slk
trimmed with hrOcade satin aud point
lace, high neck with half tight sleeves,
panniers looped at the side with bunch
es of flowers and bows. with double
box plated skirt; bonnet of sky blue
plush trimmed with point lace, ostrich
tips and lace ties. Miss Alice Barnes,
he bridesmaid, wore a Princess cos
tune Of olive green gro-grain silk. and
hat of same style to match. How is
that for Il description? II we have
made any miss in our hrst shot on de-
scrIbing dress. let the readers walk up
and subscribe for the BLACK RANGE
for a year, G. o. ID.
Now that we have described the
toilets we take a rest for a half hour to
recuperate our energies.

our forte! The table! the feastl at the
Chloride hotel, gotten up under the
