Northwestern Christian Advocate.
A determined return to simplicity OF
living ON the part of well-to-do families
would be of immense service as con-
tribution to the problems Of social SCI
ence. The amoi1;on for display, tawdry
enough, but intensely human-has much
misery laid at its door, and many sins
for which it furnishes the ruling motive.
There are persons spending thousands
wear who assure US that they had just as
much comfort and great deal more hap
piness when their scale of living was not
Eithe of its present dimensions, and
when their income was counted by tens
instead of hundreds. Itmay be that times
have changed, and that the manner OF
life could never be. reduced 30 the sim.
plicity of earlier times, but that is nc
reason why it may not be much more
simple and inexpensive than it. is. When
it is, the temptation to extravaganza,
that bane of social life in all ranks and
lin all countries, will be reduced to
minimum, and moderate incomes, the
inevitable lct of the great majority, will
be ample for all reasonable wants.

Two Hearts that Beat as One.

The social event of the season IN Fen
dleton was the marriage of Miss Lena
Russell to Mr.. Dawson Smith, at the
Presbyterian church, on Wednesday
evening, the 18th instant. The church
was beautifully decorated with festoons
of ivy and other evergreens; the rostrum
and aisles, laid in white, gave it festal
appearance, under the soft light of nu-
merous chandeliers hung with holly, ivy
and mistletoe, overshadowed with the
white dove, with a background Of mag
nolia leaves and pampas grasses, served
as handsome frame for the lovely group,
and impaired to the scene picturesque
appearance. At u o'clock, as the we'd
ding march was being rendered in superb
manner by Mrs. J. N. Hunter, the at
tendants entered alternately, marching
singly on either side down the aisles,
taking their respective places on the
rostrum. The bride, always lovely,
was still more lovely in a hand
| some costume. and gorgeous brldai
veil, passed in through an aisle gate let
tered "R" and retired through like
gate lettered "S", both beautifully orna-
mented with evergreens of ivy, holly
berries, &c. The ceremony was per
formed in most impressive manner by
the venerable pastor, Rev. DR.. Adger,
,llowed by the hearty congratulations
Of the numerous friends of the contract
ing parties, now made one in the holy
| bonds of wedlock. After the church
service was over number of theil
friends assembled at the home OF the
brides aunt, Miss Emma c. Sitton
where all mingled in the pleasures Of
most enjoyable evening, partakinS at
late hour of most sumptuous repast
! The bridal presents were many, valuable
handsome and useful, and all went merry
as marriage bell.
