When bride is married in her travelling
dress, st home or at church, she uses either
gray or brown cloth suit Her gloves
are gray or tan-cOlor, as best harmorSzes
with her dress, and the gloves Of the
groom may match hers, or if it is day we'd
ding he may omit the gloves altogether, or
he may merely carry them in his hand, as is
sometimes done at the elaborate wedding
where the bride goes TO church in full dress.
At evening weddings gloves are dc rigusur
for the groom, but instead OF the pure white
gloves that make the hands look larger, the
preference is for the groom TO wear the palest
pearl-tin:ed gloves, broadly stitched with the
same shale, while the pshers wear similar
gloves stitched with black. White neck
scarfs are now fashionably worn by all men
at all weddings, even at the most quiet morn
ing ceremonies at home or in church. At
day weddings the men guests wear IN
colored gloves.

The cost of a wig varies from S. to
5000 according to color, length, fineness
of hair and quality of workmanship.
The most costly are those made on a
foundation of hair lace. Each hair is
carefully selected and knotted to n mesh
of the lace. Such n one is an invisible
wig" 1t can be parted anywhere like
natural hair. An extra fine full wig,
with t%wenty-inch hair naturally curly,
costs from $50 to $50. A lady's invisi-
bic day wig costs from $50 to $50. A
lady's full invisible wig, in fine blonde,
drab, auburn, gray or white, of any
length of hair up to t~hirty-six inches,
costs from $125 to 5000. A feature of
the business is the ladies' half wig. A
great many women, it is stated, have an
abundant growth of hair on the back Of
the head, while little or none remains In
front or on the top. To part with the
natural hair on the back of the head, so
as to admit the adjustment of a wig,
very few feel inclined to do. 1t is in or
der to accommodate ladies thus afflicted
that the half wig has been made. They
cost from $40 to S30.-New York Mail

When jeff a was secretary of war
under President Pierce, he sent n circtl-
lar letter to many army officers, inviting
them to furnish suggestions for achange
of uniform and equipment. One of these
invitations was sent To Lieut.. Derby, a
good draughtsman and a merry wag,
who sent in response a proposition for
having a two-inch iron ring appended
by a piece of strong leather to the seat
of each enlisted mans trousers. Long
and formal specifications demonstrated
the utility of this ring. Each officer was
to carry, instead of a sword, a long
white-ash pole, with "A hook on one end.
By hooking into the ring of a private,
he could be kept in line of battle if he
was disposed to hang back, or caught if
he attempted to run away. The ring
would also be useful in the artillery serv-
ice for draught purposes, and in the cav
airy men could be locked to other rings
in their saddles and so keep from fall
ing OIL.
The illustrations which accompanied
the specifications represented officers

them into the ranks, Dragons padlocked

cannon prolongs hitched to their rings,
hauling huge pieces of artillery up steep
heights. 1t was very funny, and the
clerks in the war department enjoyed
some hearty laughs over it, but when it
reached the secretary he became indig-
nant, and regarded it as an insult. lie
ordered charges and specifications to be
drawn ur, and a court-martial (organ-
lied to convict, of course) was actually
ordered, when it came to the ears of
Governor Marcy, then secretary of state,
who was ~level-headed, and who advised
Davis to let the matter drop. lie might
have convicted Derby and dismissed him
from the service, but he would have
been laughed at from one end of the
country to the other. Davis, who pos
sessed a deal of common sense, took the
advice, and Derby's suggestions" are
still to be found on the files of the war
department. Derby, whose non do
