by the fundamental idea OF the bride as
yelled and modest virgin brought to
her husband is likely to evolve
really tasteful and impressive wedding.
That which has as its chief purpose the
starring" as it were, Of the bride is
pretty close 10 vulgarity The attend
ants are, as the bride decides, brides
maids or pages. III the bride has sis
ter or very dear friend she maid of
honor, and bears to the bride the rela-
tion that the best man does to the
groom. Often all but the sister or
friend are dispensed on the BRIDES side,
who has then merely the maid of honor.
Ushers, who are supposed to equal in
number the bridesmaids and balance
the party, are essential. whether there
are any maids or not. They see to
seating the people IL it is a church we'd
ding, and to d.sposlng the guests at
house wedding Only after all this is
done does the bridal party appear, and
then the ushers are free to take their
part in the bridal march or to take their
places, as has been arranged.
Whether or no there is a maid OF
honor, there must be best man. He Is
suppoS, d to be on hand and to know
everything the groom forgets, and as
the groom probably for5ets ev,rything
you see how important the best man is-

where the best man, standing of course

and keeps the groom from distractedly
marrying one OF the maids or the moth

bridesmaid, performs the same offices
for the bride, who is never in the flabby
and scared condition the groom is in.
From the church the bride and groom

they all have a smooth, clear skin-ths

II you would follow the conventional

a yelled virgin in ali ways, and don't
depend upon transparent tulle yelling.
Here and in Englsnd the bride wears q
dress as low'as her neck permits. and,
as the French woman never did, she
wears jewels. The bride wore nag

made so that there is train to
catch, or they all pretend there
is, and the bride slips away as
soon as she can TO don her travelling
gown. For morning wedding the
groom has worn suit in which he can
travel, unless he has been very French
and done as the Frenchmen do for the
IL O'Clock weddings, worn full-dress
suit. In that case, his best man drags
him off to an apartment provided. and
sees that he does not get his travelling
coat on wrong side out. Then the two
pretend TO "slip away" and, of course
they are discovered and that is the time
for rice and all that AS to the wedding
journey, that is as they please. Tho
English custom Is to borrow" for
week or so, the corntry house or hum,
ing lodge of a friend, some place only a
few hours out of town. It is nothing
short of vulgar and unclvilized to start
woman off on long trip on cars or
boat after all the excitement and weari-
ness OF a formal wedding ceremony.
Some people have craze for starting
to Europe. Good gracious! OF course
reasonable people expect to lose their
illusions in time, but why take the risk
them up at once. And
should think the miseries attendant on
a sea voyage would effectually do 1t.

The news that the Amazonian ar
my in Dahomey had been overthrow
is followed 10y the assurance that
King Behanzin himself is;a fugitive,
disappearing into the desert as his
only mode OF escape from the victori-
Gus French forces. That long stand
ing anomaly of modern times has
now dropped out of existence. The
women soldiers numbered about six
thousand and had been educated to
cruelty Of which few men in more
civilized countries could be guilty.
The rule with them was to mutilate
their captiyes in the most horrible
manner Imaginable, their deeds being
in keeping with the barbarism by
which numbers Of creatures were
each year sacrificed to brutal wor-
ship. The whole of this disgrace to
civilization is wiped out and in its
stead will gradually grow up vast
improvement upon it, though for
many years it may be judged neces-
saIy to rule the natives as with a rod
Of iron, that being the only argu-
ment the force of which they can
recognize. The merits Of the case as
between the Dahomeyans and the
French may not be known sufficient
ly well to enable one to decide that
the latter had good reason for the at
tack, but the result thereof is the
wiping out Of huge, black spot, and

In further illustration Of the wedding
topic, have made three sketches from
photographs of actual brides. They
have all married within month. SO
far as they are fashion plates, they show
three styles of hair-dressing and of
corsage. But let us consider them
officially. In grandma's time girls used
to marry too young. Glance at the
pictures here given, and you will form
some idea of how the standard of brides
has been raised in latter years. No one
OF these ladies is less than 2l. They
range between that and 2S. The faces
are bright, serious, and self-controlled.
Not the faces of children and Uniformed
girls, but those of women fit to be COM
panions Of the men they have married.
Eyes and lips in each case speak earn
estness and gentle strength. Only one
of the faces could be called conven-
tionally pretty" and even that one,
the first, wears so sweetly grave
a look, and so steady light
shines from the eyes, that ii only adds
to the effect already produced by the
others, and one whispers to himself.
Men are not marrying merely pretty
faces and beautiful figures; they are
marrying women, and soul and intel
lect. Here and there close study of
one or another of the faces leads to the
criticism that there is lacking a certain

"Cheap Girls"

The unpleasant phrase "cheap
girls" has arrested my attention more
than once, and / have wondered
what sort of girls they are, writes
Mrs. Lyman Abbott, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Are they those whose
loud laughter and talking draws to
them the attention of every one in
the car? Are they those whose
voices call us to the window as they
pass? Do they wear skirts so mar
row, shoes so tight, waists so tight,
that their gait is an amusement or a
marvel? Do they puff up their
shoulders above their ears, and piece
their skirts down from the top in or
der that they may sweep the streets?
l wonder are they the girls who place
themselves in the way of young men?
Who make errands" which will car
ry them into the business streets,
and call frequently on girls who have
brothers? How easily their flimsy de-
vice is seen through, and what sneers
1T occasions. Dear girls, don't be
cheap. Don't make bargain coun-
ter" OF your church vestibule, and Of

conflding softness of outlines. But IL
is good thought that THE comes only
from lack of heart development, and
that is to be supplied. These women
with straightforward, earnest eyes and
quiet lips are going TO meet the duties
of wifehood as 1t should best and most
wisely be met, and those duties, the
new life, the new surrounding of care
and tenderness and the dear weight Of
new responsibilities will light the look
of love and womanhood in their eyes,
and set its softness about their lips.
The man who takes such a woman into
his heart has the developing OF a we'll
rounded woman at his hand. TIE
years will bring these only a larger wo-
manhood, not narrowed one. The
pretty girl, the pampered girl, the al
ready selfish woman, the unrestrained
child are going out OF fashion. The
pictures / have chosen are only
a few of many. The beauty OF soul
Is being acknowledged. We may hope
for better times, better men, better
homes, and when. that js said all is
said. BY the way, only one of these
women wears earrings. The others
have delicately modelled ears, a sure
sign OF innate refinement. They have
oil well-markcd eyebrows, sure sign
OF well-balanced mental power. They

SECRETARY TRACY has changed his
mind and will let Lieutenant Peary
lead another polar expedition, after
all. Three objects will be kept in
view: TO determine definitely the
northern coast of Greenland, to as
certain II any land lies to the north
OF IL, and TO reach, IL possible, the
geographical location OF the pole.
There is fascination in, polar ex-
ploration that amounts to positive
madress. Now that Lieutenant
Peary has been seized with il he will
continue TO make expeditions until
he either finds the pole or leaves his
bones somewhere in the north. I'm
fortunately, the fate of many arctic
explorers, as skillful and as intrepid
as he, points to the latter result as
most probable in his own case.
