Some prefer them in plain, unvarnished
state, sort of raw, others like them ''done
up brown" and they are both occasionally
in 8 stewy state.
The weddings Of the past week, however,
have all been of the kind that were ''done

the 1ne of Miss Diana de Ia Montanye to Mr.
Joseph v. Vandergrift, which took place Tues
day evening in the new Point Breeze Presbyte-
rian Church. IL was a gloomy day. but the
charming little bride said, about o'clock: ''lt
hasn't rained yet nor haven't cried, either; SO
guess nothing dreadful is going to happen"
A few hours later she appeared in q white
satin dress and lovely veil, with a bevy of at
tendants ana six ushers to escort her to the
altar, where she met the groom and became
Mrs. Vandergrift. She was very girlish bride,
and didn't look to be over Is. though she conf

The sweet, the rare, the radiant maidf
Gone: but her form well shortly see
In glossy sealslin robes arrayed-
And when the snow begins to whirl
And eddy in the ambient air,
She'll blossom out a winter girl,
As fascinating and as fair.
She draws us, sways US as she wills,
She smiles and to her side we fly
Wen run up livery stable bills
To take her sleighIng, by and by.
