At a recent wedding in New York, the
somewhat unusual array of nine ushers
and nine bridesmaids assisted. Five Of the
bridesmaids wore pale green and the four
others delicate shade of pink. All had
short wells matching the hue OF their
gowns. They came down the isle from the
chancel to meet the bride, walking first
two, then one alone repeating the order
until ushers and maids were all in line.

his somewhat plebeian lineage. Notwith-

he was ever an affectionate and dutiful
son to the plain old farmer and his wife,
who toiled and moiled to give him his
first start in the world. One of his in
heritances when they died, was a pair of
portraits done by rural painter-two
pictures with no merit whatever, from an
artistic standpoint, but startlingly life

realistically represented. Mr.. -, mean

Early Races In Russia.

From the American Register.
Russia is so vast and includes SO many races
that it might seem weil-nigh hopeless to deter
mine its most ancient inhabitants Neverthe-
less, this is a problem at which Prof. Anatole
Bosdanov has been hboring for the past twenty
five years and which he attempts to solve in
paper read before the recent congress Of an
thropologists at Moscow. The kurgans or
tumui OF Central Russia contain the roles of
a tall, strong. dolichocephalic race with light
brown hair. as well a. n short smaller brscv-
cephalic race, with dark brown hair The blonde
type preponderates in the southwestern dis
tricts and the brunette in the northeastern.
Bogdanov considers the longheads to have been
Slavs, and that the modern Russians OF those
parts are an amalgam OF the Siavs with the
broader headed race, which is probably Nom
goloid.
