About Weddings.

Wedding invitations are engraved on
note PAPER, and do not contain the
card of the groom. Where there is on.
" one daughter in the family the Chris
tan name of the bride is omitted
otherwise her name, like that of the
groom, is given in full. If the recep.
ton is to follow the ceremony, small
err card, stating that the parents will be
sat home at an hour designated, goes
with the invitation.
The wedding dress, if the lady is tall.
is of heavy stamped or embossed velvet
or brocade, but, as these do not look so
well on small figures, petite may wear
satin or even less heavy material. 1t
is perfectly proper to trim the most
elaborate dress in imitation lace, and
plenty of it. "The Princess shape"
says our authority, "seems to be yield
ing to the basque and pointed front, the
back very boufant, and the sleeves uni
versally gathered in at the top-a terri
BILE forebOding of the mutton-leg sleeve
Of our grandmothers, which is fashion
now about DUE" These dresses open
in front and show petticoat of satin,
or at least satin trimmed. The bridal
flowers are no longer orange blossoms,
but white roses. ilacs, daisies and snow
drops. The veil, if one is worn, must
be of real lace and pinned with dia-
mond. The gems are the diamond and
pearl, as of yore; but fashion sanctions
brilliant ruby as a substitute for the
latter. A ruby and diamond, set at
an angle, are the correct thing for an
engagement ring. The train must be
long, the white gloves ditto, with the
ring finger cut so that the ring can be
removed without drawing off the glove.
The bridesmaids should be dressed
alike, hut not in white. Pale pink is
better ''form." The groom may dress
pretty much as he pleases, but the
strictly correct style is a black Prince
Albert frock coat, gray or pearl trou-
sers, dark plain waistcoat cut rather
high, high collar to plain linen shirt
and colored cravat with plain
scarf-pin, black stovepipe hat and .
pair of gray gloves are to be carried in
the hands. No gentleman, from the
groom to the usher, is to wear his gloves.
The marriage bell has gone out. Ir
it's stead is japanese umbrella of flow
ers, in Difference to a Japanese super
stition that the umbrella keeps off no
only rain, but the hail-stones aud evil
spirits; everything, in fact, but poverty
and its attendant evils. The wedding
presents are not to be exhibited, though
there is no Introduction to their being
sent.--Harper's Weekly.

Sentiment and poetry are really not
necessary in conducting love affair.
A Brooklyn young man fired Of pro-
tracted courtship wrote: "Darfing
Alice-It seems to me that we will not

til we can spit on our own stove. We
will see that day yet with Gods help.

There is often in the sick-room an ar
ray of bottles, boxes of pills, besides
various cups and spoons; but as no
sick person wishes to see the bureau
covered with bottles or the mantelpieco
ornamented with boxes of pills or pow.
ders, try never to have any medicine in
the room except what you are using,
and not that if you have the use of a
dressing-room near ut hand. Sick PEG
pie often tire of the sight of these things
when they are not willing to ask to have
them removed.
Keep one or two glasses and spoons,
always perfectly clean. in the room, but
never have one of either that has been
used if you can avoid it. If you use q
glass tube wash it as soon as possible,
as it is much more easily cleaned than
if left to dry, and it is ready for use
when next wanted.
Have cloth on the bureau and wash
stand; it will preserve them from marks
and lessen the noise when anything is
set on them.
These things may seem of slight i'm
portance, but they all tend to neat and
orderly room.
1t is very difficult to clean the carpet
in a sick-room, but much can be done
by keeping everything picked up that
is loose on the floor, A damp cloth
pinned over broom and brushed light
ly under the bed will take up the dust,
while damp cloth in the hand will
serve the same purpose in other parts
of the room. Always dust the room
every day with cloth, and remember
that clean, well-aired and sunny room
will help the patient back to health. -

A corpulent old German who has been
doing thriving business in little towT
suddenly refused to pay his debts. The
commercial travellers who sold him
goods have paid him frequent visits in
fruitless attempts to collect the money
due to Their firms. The other day a
long. legged representative of London
house walked into the establishment pre-
sided over by the erratic merchant and
presented statement amounting TO
EOS.
'Ich got no money! said the Ger
man, as he balanced himself on
cheese box.
1.-THE dickens, you haven'tr' roared
the presumptious collector, slamming
his bag down on barrel. "No monkey
business about this thing! This is tie
fifth time have come here for that bill,
and now propose to have it,"
"Vell, mein frent," replied the
merchant, little disconnected, ..Ich
don't know how you will git
him."
The traveller drew himself up to his
full height, and, assuming the air Of a
prize-fighter, leaned over the counter
and whispered at the top of his voice:
"Say! do you know that / killed o
Dutchman oncep"
"Och! SOP Dot ish yust der reason

II COW will make far better returns from
the same feed if kept warm than If a con

WHAT LANDS NEED DRAINAGE Al
