bouquets were dark-red roses. The
ushers wore black frock coats, with
vests to match, gray trousers, high col
lars with turned-over points. and white
crepe de Chine scarfS. A single white
hydrangea formed the large bouton--
Mere. Their gloves were pearl -coiored
kid, with pearl stitching.
A second wedding dress OF white
satin had the Vatican fold charmlngly
given by continuing the veil, a long
scarf of duchesse point lace, falling III
slight draperv from the crown OIL the
head low on the train. This was PINK
and white wedding, the brldemaldS
wearing gowns of white tatfeta, pow
dered with pink blossoms. These were
genuine Vatican gowns. with two folds
coming from the back of the skirt high
M on the corSage, where they tapered
to point under round fichu, finished
with wide gathered frill of pink chif-
fon. The Leghorn hats had a large
windmill bow of pink satin, and each
maid carried a basket OF pink roses
hung from her arm by white pink satin
ribbon. The usherS had the very large
boutonnieres now in favor, made OF
several white narcissuS blossoms closely
grouped.
At noon wedding at Grace church
during Easter week the six bridesmaids
entered three in row, from each side
of the chancel. and meeting at the mid
die aisle, walked in pairs down to the
door to meet the bride. The ushers
ranged themselves single file against
the pews near the entrance until the
bridesmaids passed by them, when all
turned and walked back TO the altar,
followed By the bride and her father.
The pretty group of maidenS wore the
favorite pink and white gowns. with
little green added at the foot OF the
skirt. They were made OF white dotted
muslin over pink figured silk, with
much white lace OH the corsage. The
full high waist was gathered under a
wide corselet of pink satin folds. and
the Vatican effect was given by bow
of broad pink satin ribbon set high IN
the back. with long ends falling on the
skirt. Their white chip hats were
trimmed with pink flowers and large
bow of pink satin. Instead of a bon,
Duet, each bridesmaid carried. pointed
downward, a white chiffon paraSol,

friils of the chiffon and white enameled
handles,

myself had learned to smoke, but, as the
scholars were not allowed to go out
shopping unattended, we were unable
to secure our supplies of cigarettes as
frequently as we wished. Mabel, who
is a bright. saucy brunette. determined
to find way out of the difficulty, and
succeeded. The lady principal of the
school had a son nineteen or twenty
years of age. handsome and up. to any
mischief. 1t happened that he was
home from college at the time, and 1t
was through him that Mabel determined
to secure the coveted 'smoke-rolls.'
The difficulty was to secure commu-
nication with him, as we were not al
lowed to meet any gentlemen during
term time. Fortunately the room he
it was summer. Nothing was more
natural than that he should be sitting
one evening in his window smoking
and that three-cornered note on the
end of a piece of thread should come
futterng down to disturb his medita-
lions. What young gentleman could
resist the appeal of two forlorn girls for
Just two cigarettes? Certainly not the
young man in question. for when the
thread was pulled up there was a little
box attached and in it nestled a dozen
dainty Egyptian cigarettes. Had that
same young man been within reaching
distance of us at the time verify be
lieve that we should have fallen Oh his
neck and kissed him in spite of the pro-
prieties.
You may imagine that we d d not lack
for plentiful supplies from that time on.
and l am sorry to say that Mabel carried
on a most outrageous Irritation with the
provider of them. l was so shocked
with her conduct that threatened to
break my friendship with her, and there
| is no telling what would have happened
if George had not invited one of his col
! lege chums to visit him, and from that
time on did not feel so hardly toward
Mabel. But then l suppose | should not
have told you this. as it might not, be
considered exactly proper; but if you
have all extra cigarette 1 will forgive

Is a beauty, too. and Kate only uses it
on very festive occasions"
This talk with my yoIng friend led TO
an investigation of the habit of smoking
among women, and the most surprising
thing developed was the fact that SO
many took 1t for granted that every one
else was a smoker. Not, of course, th at
every man. woman and child smoked,
but that the habit was so general that it
had ceased to be anything remarkable
for a woman, when in the society of her
intimates. to join her husband or brother
in cigarette.
I'VE sell lots of cigarettes to women
or for their USE" said prominent TO-
baccOnist. "They very often come in
here for them, but more often send their
husbands or brothers. You smile at the
idea OF husbands coming for cigarettes
Tor their wives, but it is a fact that many
men are glad to have their wives smoke
in order TO keep them company. One

Kate won the prize of her collection on
a bet with Harry on the last Derby.
She had seen the holder in the window
of Madison street cigar store, and had
been longing for it for weeks, but her
pocketbook was as fiat as though
the traditional elephant had stepped
on it. and she had lived in fear and
trembling lest some one should come
along and buy it before the next quar-
ter's allowance should be paid her.
When she had won her bet she lost all
interest in the remaining races, and
made Harry promise to go right down

so it was decided to harness
this mighty power and put 1t
to work. But the Colorado,

roaring, seething and foaming like
some Unframed monster bent on de-
stroying everything in it's path. WHAT
would resist it's fury and enable its
power to be bridled? The granite

crossing rapidly. A vast granite dam
is being built across the stream from
mountain to mountain. This dam
will be / 200 feet long, 60feet high and
go feet thick at its base. 1t will form a
lake among the purple-hued mcun :
tains above the city that will be one of
the most picturesque in America.
This lake will be twenty-five miles
long, and on its banks will be sum-
mer hotels, Chautauqua grounds and
SO on, while on It's placid bosom will
float number of steamboats, and 9TH

cent pleasure resort. The dam and
lake are already connected with the
city by a dummy railway three miles
long on which the fare is only 10
cents. But the great dam means more
than pleasure. 1t means revolving
wheels, the whirr of machinery, the
hum of busy factories, employment
for labor and new blood in the AFTER

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

Although comparatively little atten-
ton has been paid to it by the public
and the press, one Of the most import
ant measures which has been placed
before the legislature during this
special session Is the Australian bal
lot bill. 1t is such decided step in
the direction of purer politics that
every citizen should give it his I'M
qualified support and encouragement.
No one will deny that some change is
needed, and that the country is being
damaged through lack of better sys-
tenn. Inscriptions men as candi-
dates and managers for candidates
have, with the aid of whisky and
mouey judiciously distributed, so ma
nipulate INSCRIPTIONS voters that the
votes of honest men were practically
thrown away. While we have boosted
with much vain glorying that we
lived in country where the majority
ruled and the voice of the people was
the voice of God, we have been only
too conscious that the majority had
nothing to do with ruling; that oema-
gogues ruled and that wire-pulling
and corruption ran riot in every cam
paign. But the time has come when
the people are Disguised, and have
united in demanding some change.
OF all the changes that have been
proposed the Australian ballot is the
most reasonable, and throws the
greatest safe guards about the purity
of suffrage. The ballot is strictly
secret, Wherever it has been tried
the ward heeler and hummer has
found his occupation gone. The polls
no longer furnish the place for the
wild, bowling mob, the demagogue
and the trickster to congregate. The
voting is done quietly, methodically,
in a business-like way, and corrup-
ton has so little chance that its day
may be considered over in the place
where the Australian ballot is used.
Texas needs the change. Let every
Texan work for its coming. Let this
legislature wisely put such a law on
the statute book. 1t has passed the
Senate and should meet with no OPP
position in the House.

AnSTLN NOT RESPONSIBLE

dUOIIN WI 1iLAJA
It is understood an editorial in THE
STATESMAN of July 81, 1891, is being
attempted to be used in the legisla-
ture IN Austin,s disadvantage at this
time This is unfair to THE STATES
MAN and it is especially unjust to
Austin. If this article is being used
in the interest of San Antonio, IL
would only be fair for The STATESMAN
to challenge comparison IN the matter
of expressions touching the legisla-
ture with the San Antonio Express.
But we think such argument wholly
irrelevant and as entitled to no
weight in the judgment of the fitness
of cities for the location of any state
institution. The facts in the present
case are the only matters with which
we are now concerned.
1t is now desired to emphasize
the statement made by Judge Terrell
on the floor of the House Thursday
morning to the effect that Austin is
not responsible for nor did her people
evor indorse the sentiments of that
editorial: and we go step further and
saw the editorial did not voice the true
sentiments of The STATEsMAN's
Board of Directors and management.
The managing editor of THE STATES
MAN was at that time, and had Tor
weeks before, been absent on visit in
the eastern part of the United States.
AS early as possible on his return to
Austin change in the office was
effected, bringing The STATESMAN
back to the editorial tone it had sus-
tanned Tor five years previous thereto
and that it has today The STATES
MAN is utterly opposed to per-
sonaI journalism and wholesale ana
wanton abuse. 1t will treat all subjects
respectfully and appropriately or not
at all. These are the unvarnished and
absolute facts in the case, and though
THE STATESMAN of the past may
through them be censured, they can
not be properly tortured into any dis
paragement of Austin or of her whole
souled, generous and progressive
people.
