STORING SWEET POTATOES fol-
lowing method is recommended as a
most successful one for storing away
sweet potatoes for winter-keeping: In
the summer, when road-dust can easily
be obtained, take as many boxes or
barrels as are needed to contain the
potatoes, fill them with the dust and set
them away until needed. The potatoes
should be dug before frost and be al
lowed to dry a day in the sun. They
can then be spread thinly over q floor,
where there is no danger of them heat
ing; they should never be piled up in
heaps. When cold winter sets in they
can be stored in the barrels and put
away in the cellar First put layer of
dust three inches deep in the bottom If
the barrel; then place layer of potatoes
as close as they can he laid without
touching. Cover these with dust and
then a. course OF potatoes, and SO on
until the barrel is nearly full, then fill
up with dust. In this way they will
keep through almost any winter.

NEW FEATURES IN WEDDINGS.

There are fashions in weddings az i'm
dress. Some years ago what was sup
posed to be the English style was intro
duced. The popularity of this style lies
in the absence of brides maids, the pres
ence Of best man, and the substitution
Of ushers for groomsnlen. The best
man follows the groom from the vestry
and holds the grOom's hat during the
ceremony. But after all this does not
seem to be the genuine English style. 1t
is rather sort OF compromise, for mild
Anglo-maniacs, between the British and
the American method. The true, through
and-thUugh English styl, requires, be-
sides best man and ushers, that the
bride shall walk up the aisle ungloved,
holding family prayer-book As the
AnglO-maniac is an imitation, an imi-
tation prayer-bOok will probably do for
ladies' whose families don't use PRAYER
book
An innovation in weddings which has,
however, nothing especial to do with the
English or American style, is to strew
the middle aisle Of the church with
autumn-leaves. This picturesque feature
was introduced ut a recent wedding i'm
New Jersey, the rustling leaves accom-
panying the soft wedding music AZ the
bridal party approached the altar.
But the most startling novelty was
recently tried at n wedding in Sing Sing.
As rival to the grOom's hest man the
bride had a chest girl" The chest
girl" solves the problem what to do with
the best man after the ceremony, as he
has the best girl to escort down the
aisle. For this reason the new feature
may become popular.
1t is now not uncommon to have
Young girls in Kate Greenway costume
to attend at the altar during the cere-
mony.
