"Ob, your honor" Pettigrue replied,

"And the law further says" continued
Mr.. Pettigrue, that the sheriff must wear

"Yes, yes, Mr.. Pettigrue," the court an

AS soon as he had vanished below we all
fiocked in to look at the bride. She was
carefully arranged in the chair under the
tissue paper roses. Her downcast eyes
were fixed upon her folded white glovcd
hands, where rings sparkled on every fin

fixed upon this rigid. inanimate looking

A TURKISH WEDDING.
The Grotesquely Adorned Bride Sits In
State For Three Days.

State For Three Days.
For fully two hours we sat crosslegged
on the couch before word came that the
bride was approaching. Then we all crowd
ed out into the hall aud up one flight of
stairs TO the room especially prepared for
the reception of the bride.-TAis reem was
gorgeously furnished in European style,
with bright red carpet, chairs upholster-
ed in scarlet and gold satin, and with win
dow hangings Of the same material. Be
tween the two windows opposite the door
a large armchair stood beneath bower of
artificial rosebushes. rofusely blossoming
with red end yellow tissue paper roses.
The other chairs were ranged against the
wall on three sides of the room.
A great tumult and clatter of voices an
nounced the arrival OF the bride. AS the
party was heard ascending the stairs all
the women, who had removed their wells
ON coming into the house, hastily threw
them over their heads again. First came
the sister OF the groom (thc real hostess),
then the brides relatives (only women, of
course), and then the groom, fine looking
young man i'm dark blue military uniform,
holding the bride 10y the elbow. At sight
OF her all the women broke out i'm exclama-
tions OF pious admiration. And certainly
her costume was gorgeous enough 20 excite
wonder at least. She was dressed I'm long
trained gown Of pink satin, embroidered
with silver roses. Her tightly cured hair
was crowned with white ostrich plumes
fastened with n spray Of diamonds, and a
veil OF silk and tinsel fell to the end OF her
train. From her headdress, on either side
OF her face, dangied long streamers of sill

attention from The face Of the bride, which
was made most conspicuous by being
