SPRING BRIDES.
There Will Be Plenty Of
Them This Season.
EUCHRE CLUBS DISBANDING.
Things Gathered Here and There
in the World of Fashion.

Several weddings. all home affairs
have made the week a busy one in social
circles. For some time the wedding of
Miss Rowland has been anticipated and
on Monday brilliant as semblage at
tepsied the reception which followed the
private ceremony. The elegant pariors
were mass Of flowers and palms most
arslstieally arranged. This was done by
Cole, who also devised the pretty and
effective screen OF palms and ferns which
concealed the orchestra at the lower end
of the drawing room. The bride, who is
very fair and petite, looked a dainty and
ideal bridc in her white gown Of silk.
She did not wear a veil, which is the
hardest part Of The bridal dress to wear
gracefully and adjust artistlcalIy. Few
ever have the bridal veil TO look we'll, and
Notwithstanding the old traditions about
its beauty, it Is oftener detriment Than
an addition.
SOCIAL EVENTS VERY WELCOME.
This wedding was most welcome to
those who take pleasure III the doings of
society, as il was the ipitiatory OF the
brief social season which follows after
Easter. Another of the week S delightful
events was the marriage of Miss Lizzie
also a I've o'clock home wedding and a
very pretty one.
like o'clock weddings and noon we'd
dings, after The custom of the English,
are taking the place OF weddings at night.
The coming Two weeks will have almost
wedding for each day. and where the
June brides are coming from this year is
quite a subject of speculation The
season will probably see no more brilliant
wedding than that OF Miss Lulu Apgar
and DR.. Pyle. This will be a church
wedding and will take place in the Ber-
gea Reformed Church. Miss Apgar has
been favorite in society since she
entered it. She is pretty girl and every
one is delighted that She will not leave
Jersey City after her marriage. The
wedding will be an elaborate one and
many guests are invited.

Silence above and silence below,
As l strained my ears FOR my loves football.
A whlrl Of laces-the pafter of feet,
And up on the landing vision fair,
With bound hasten my love to greet.
And the freight giints ia her golden hair.
But grave and cold are my sweetheart's eyes;
The small, red mouth 10 smiles unfold;

My heart with fear grows faint and cold.

Cost of Educntinr a Nation.

Underlying all other public questions,
pressing, persistent, commanding, is the
subject of education. Important in every
civilized nation, it is in America of para
mount interest. In America we have
100000 children enrolled in the public
schools alone. How to increase this at
tendance, how to lower absenteeism, how
to waste no money, no energy, no time,
but to make every effort tell; what methods
are best; what studies are essential; what
influences are to be stimulates; how to
reach the hearts, the minds, the con.
sciences of these children; what ideals to
put before them-these are matters Of most
profound concern.
Our public schools require 347, 292 teach
ers, and cost annually S122, Ass, 252. These
figures simply show the magnitude of the
system and are staggering even to the
imagination. The future of the republic
is committed to these 100000 children,
and to the hundreds of thousands in pri-
vate and sectarian schools, to these and
not to one or the other of the POLITICAL par
ties, to these and not to any church, not
to any organization whatever.-Louisville

Polite Railway Conductors.

There was time when railroad men had
the reputation of being the most impolite
of any of their sex. They never deserved
this reputation. 1t grew out of the fact
that in the early days travellers were not as
well posted as they are now, and they
asked,many questions which railroad men
worried about and finally stopped trying
to answer. The railroad man of today,
however, is more communicative and more
polite than formerly. The companies man
ayers are more careful of the comfort of
people who travel, and require their EN-.
ployes to be polite.
One of the roads running out of Chicago
has made rule that when the conductor
passes through a sleeping car to collect
fares, or dining car for the same purpose,
he must remove his cap. Perhaps after
some other rules of propriety shall have
been adopted by the companies a certain
class of travellers will do likewise, and one
may make jaunt out of town with some
comfort.-Chicago Tribune.

Growlinc About City Hunters.

1.-THE game laws" says an old sports
man who is inclined to be growler, "all
are made by city men who want about six
weeks in the year to themselves, just when
the farmers are busiest with their fail
crops. A city sportsman who doesn't know
anything about farming will put on pair
of breeches that reach to his neck and
wade all over a new wheat field without
thinking of the damage he does. was
brought up on farm, and tell you these
celluloid clay pigeon killers are nuisance.
If were farmer would raise crop of
bulldogs and feed them on raw beefsteak
for month previous to the opening of the
season, and when these city jays swoop
down and take possession of the farm
would turn them all loose. New York
