Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-11-08

Her husband, Mir. Treadwater, was employed for over eight years by Swift & Co. in knocking down beef creatures, having taken preliminary course as a street car conductor. He is very proud of his wife's girlish beauty, and should the finger of scandal ever be pointed at her it would wear n rag around it for ever afterward. Mir. Treadwater has a record as a knocker down of beef crea- lures unequaled in his own state. As n street car conductor he succeeded in knocking down eight fares in eight min- utes. With the advent of the bell punch he entered the meat industry.
 Evangeline Follansbee, East Timber Lake. la, writes to know if it is proper for the groom to furnish gloves and sou venirs to the ushers and best man; also what supplies he should furnish for the wedding. She is soon to be married and has been all summer gathering wild strawberries and selling them to raise money for her outfit. She naturally de- sires to know what will be supplied by the groom.
 If you knew, Evangeline. what a task it is for me to settle these matters of etiquette, you would be chary of your inquiries to au overworked man.
 Generally the brides family tries to be as light burden to the groom as possible until after the honeymoon, when he may supply four, bacon, molasses, etc. without violating the proprie- ties. You make a mistake, however, in going into an elaborate wedding if you have to gather wild strawberries in or der to pay for it. It is no disgrace to be welded without great display consider ing your circumstances.
 acted as usher once at wedding where each usher received diamond stud that would buy Il good team, yet today the groom is trying to keep liv- cry stable tidy at SEQ per month, and the bride each week does the washing for one of her bridesmaids at 75 cents per dozen and hangs the wash on a barbcd wire fence
 On the other hand, l5 years ago, when became Il justice of the peace in Wyo- ming, I married a couple i'll the loft of WaSnCr's store. anu the two rode home on one horse to battle with life on a ranch. asking me to wait till fall for my fee. when they hoped to be able to | raise il.
 Autumn came and with it the fee. Now they are visiting in Venice and hiring gondolas by the week. We should learn by this. EvanScline, that it is bet ter to 20 to California second class and return via palace car than to go there | ill n special car and come home astride the axle of n coach.
 Natalie. Alkali Station, Wy.-No; you are doing wrong to continue your | friendship with a man who indicates | that he loves you, yet does not follow it l up by n declaration. He is not sincere, and the quicker you serve n writ of eiectmcnt on him the better. He is mere ly toying with your heart and killing time. Such man should be arrested. taken out beyond the fair ground and shot. You should lose no time in telling him that life is real. life is earnest. etc. |, and that you cannot monkey about i'll life'S glad morn with one who iS not serious.
 Your error while visiting in town was quite natural. but reaching for the slice of lemon with your fingers when it was at the bottom of your iced tea was not <" bad as your offering the tea afterward to the gent who Sat near you. You also laid yourself open to ccmsure when you got under the table in search of the steak which jumped out of your plate and when you bumped your head l and broke your back comb ill getting I out Though the guests laughed and thus violated the hest table manner rules, it was not very surprising. You also did wrong in showing your temper and say ing Darn itr' at the ln>S of your steak. | lS you were among strangers at the time. You did wrong in calling attention to the absence of butter at the table. as luitr d good many people recently | lduptcd the custom uf emitting butter It dinner. especially people who really | need tho butter money 10 use in tiC purchase of clothing. For my own par I do not think there k anything wrong in having butter on the table at dinner. Those who do not care for it may let il llone or leave the table if butter Dc offensive to them.
 Strict Confidencc. East Haddam, Mass. -You doubtless feel n certain de. gree uf bitterness when you refer to the .ull evening dress of your friends. and certainly ynu write like one whose neck md shoulders are tritlc skinny. Please
 io not not let that influence you in the matter. for in England. where I have several times visited and fully enjoyed myself. il is the custom for ladies with put exception to wear full evening dress sven at tho age of lO2 years
