Decision of Character.

The following is an abstract, prepared
by one of the pupils, of lecture recent
ly delivered before the High School by
Rev. w. j. Tilley:
One of the most important things for a
person to cultivate early in life is de-
clsion of character. Many things may
be bought and sold, but character is
priceless. Every man is greatly inter-
ested in the character of his associates.
Decision of character is necessary in de-
termining what business we shall adopt
for our future employment. Very many
young people while in school or college
are greatly troubled with the thought of
what shall be their vocation in life. 1t is
therefore necessary for success in life.
since good character is a thing which
is not assumed upon moments notice.
but steady growth, that one should be
especially careful. Again, since single
thought sometimes determines success
or failure in life, 1t is proper that every
young man should consider what ought
TO be his future vocation. quite early in
life. If man has a talent for any par
ticular business or employment he
should not be so Influenced by his
parents or some friend, who. although
they are doing what they think to be
best. are advising a wrong method, rs to
make fool of himself by choosing some
for which he is utterly un-
qualified for the sake OF being profess
sional man. for, "How many men, who,
thus influenced, have become lawyers,
professors or doctors of the third or
fourth class, and scarcely able to obtain
a living, could have become first-class
merchants, or other business

About Weddings.

As there viii without doubt be several
weddings in Rock Island during the fall
and winter the ARGUS kindly furnishes
to its readers few hints in regard to the
matter as given by Harper's Weekly.
Wedding invitations are engraved on
not paper, and do not contain the card of
the groom Where there is only one
daughter in the family the Christian name
OF the bride is omitted, otherwise her
name, like that of the groom, is given in
full. If the reception is to follow the
ceremony smaller card, stating that the
parents will be 'sat home" at the hour
designated. goes with the invitation.
The wedding dress, if the lady is tall, is
of heavy stamped or embossed velvet or
velvet 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 elabo-
rate dress in imitation lace, and plenty of
il. The Princesse shape" says our
authority, seems to be yielding to the
basque and pointed front, the back very
boutfant. and the sleeves universally gath
cred in at the top-a terrible foreboding
of the mutton leg sleeve of our grand
mothers, which is fashion now about
due These dresses open IN front and
show a pettieoat of satin. or at least satin
trimmed. The bridal flowers are
no longer orange blossoms, but white
roses, lilacs, DAISIES and snow drops. The
veil, if one is worn, must be of real lace
and pinned with diamond The gems
are the diamond and pearl. as of yore;
but fashion sanctions brilliant ruby as
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 fingure cut, so that it can be re-
moved without drawing off the glove.
The bridesmaids should be dressed alike,
but not in white. Pale pink is better
form The groom may dress pretty
much as he pleases, but the strictly cor,
rect style is black Prince Albert frock
