DRESSING THE BRIDE.
Heavy White Satin Is tho Correct M

Heavy White Satin Is the Correct Ma
teriaI for Wedding Gowns.
Very heavy white satin is used for the
wedding gown, writes Isabel A. NAL
lon, in Ladies' Home Journal The
skirt, which is quite plain in front, has
q flare about the lower part, the result
of there being two full plaits on each
side Of the broad gore. In the back
there are two double box-plaits that
fall far down, spread out and extend
through the train, which is very nearly
yard long. The bodice is q pointed
one, laced in the back; is high in tho
neck, and has over its white satin col
lar folds of white tulle, caught at one
side with a tiny bunch Of orange bios
SONS. The sleeves have enormous
puffs of the satin that reach quite to
the elbows, and below that they fit in
to the arms, and each comes down In
point over the hand. Folds of tulle
outline this point. Over each shoulder
is an elaborate epaulette Of orange
blossoms. The hair is arranged quite
high and pinned closely and very firm
ly to tho head; and the veil, which is
fastened on under wreath of orange
blossoms, extends to the edge Of the
skirt in front and over the entire
length of the train ut the back. 1t is
in arranging this veil to re-
that while 1t is worn over the
face going up tho aisle Of the church,
it is thrown back after the ceremony,
In such way that the bride may look
her best when the veil is off her face.

LESSON IN ETIQUETTE.


rhe Proper Way Of Observing Weooi"s
Anniyerssriss-sampi Of a Correct In
v,tation-The Duties Of Guest and hos's
"A Few Useful Suggestions Concerning
Presents.
Are you well posted on the etiquette
OF the wedding anniversary? Sending
out the invitation, accepting 1t and
celebrating this social function cali
for strict attention to details.
First, let us consider the list OF an
n;versaries which Father Time pre-
sents with due formality as the years
fit by. Here it is:
Cotton leads; second, paper; third,
leather; fourth, book; fifth, wooden;
sixth, garnet; seventh, woolen; eighth
bric-a-brac; ninth, topaz; tenth, TIM
twelfth, silk and fine linen; fifteenth,
crystal; twentieth, china; twenty fifth
silver; thirtieth, pearl; thirty-hfth'
sapphire; fortieth, ruby; fiftieth'
golden; seventy-fifth, diamond.
OF these, the last five rarely demand
recognition. An all-around glimpse
Of those more generally observed may
give YOU some suggestions that will be
helpful.
Wedding anniversary invitations are
printed on cards or note-paper, prefer
ably the latter. They should read Mr.
and Mrs Frank Thompson, at home'
etc., with date and residence.
The character OF the occasion is in.
dicated by monogram at the top OF
the page, this being fanked by the two
annual dates-as electromagnetic 1874.
If for golden wedding. this lettering
is in golden; II for silver wedding, II
is in silver, the invitation being printed
in black ink.
No written acceptance need to be
sent in answer to this style of invita-
ton. You simply dispatch a present
with card attached, and, II unable to
attend the reception, a graceful note'
expressing congratulations, is for
warded through the mail.
In regard to the giving OF presents
on such occasions, recent plan that
has been widely indorsed does away
with all embarrassment likely to be
experienced by people of limited
means.
Invitations to the more elaborate an
niversaries-such as the golden, silver,
etc.-generally have engraved in the
lower left corner: "No presents" This

Watching him through my field-glass,

when the cuckoo came out she leaped
up on the stand where the box sat and
seized the bird by its throat. Tho

on poor Billikins. and the more he
tried to get from under them the more

The whole house was aroused by the
clatter. Down came the little mis-
tress, and there she found Billikins
and her pretty new cuckoo clock all
broken to pieces. She was very angry
and she punished Billikins, while Judy
looked on with amusement Billikins
thinks now that cats are very deceitful

When any cleaning or sweeping is In

BIRDS EYES AND EARS.

They Far Exceed In Kconness Those Of
Our Own Kind.
It is certain that the keenness Of VI
sion in birds far exceeds our own, but
In what degree we cannot precisely es-
timate. We know, however, that
hawk 30 high above the earth as to
seem q mere speck against the sky
above him can at this distance distin-
guish his prey from It's earthly sur
roundings.
Snipe and plover, migrating at 30
great height that to us they are in
visible, seem by their calls able to
recognize individuals Of their own
species feeding, perhaps on some mud
fat, where, If thcy are motionless, we
can distinguish them at fifty yards
with difficulty.
Flycatchers launch forth after
gauzy-winged prey we could not detect,
and I have seen jacamars In the gloomy
forests dart more than thirty feet into
the air after some tiny insect.
The loggerhead shrike of the south
always selects, like hawk, perch
from which he may have an unob-
structed view of his surroundings.
From this outlook he scans the ground
for some luckless grasshoppcr OF
cricket, and sometimes flies eighty OF
one hundred feet to pick from the
grass-grown ground an insect he had
evidently seen before he left his perch.
But little as we know. of birds vi.
pion, we know even less of their power
Of hearing. There 10, however, no
reason to doubt that the latter is not
quite as acute as the former.
The robin on our lawns may be seen,

picture II you look closely you will
discover the Mexican dollar, and also
: Kings Daughters badge which some
one presented to him.
Owney did not tarry long In WASH
ington, but was soon off again with
his new harness. The farther he
went the more checks he had to carry,
and the heavier grew his load. At
last the attachments alone weighed
over two pounds, and poor Owney was
tired of carrying the dangling things
about with him.
A Boston postal clerk saw him and
took pity on him as Mr. Wanamaker
had done; he carried him home to his
house, and wrote letter to the post
master at Albany, telling him Of the
dogs difficulties. Word came back to
take of the harness Just as It was, and
forward it to them. This was done,
and the harness with Its attachments
can be seen at any time In the post
Office building at Albany, preserved in
. glass case with Owney's picture.
Once In his travels Owney reached
Montreal, and happening to follow the
mail-bags to the post Office, he was
taken possession Of and locked up,
while letter was sent to Albany tell
ing the officials there Of his where
,abouts. A reply came to let him go
and he would take care OF himself.
This the Canadian postmaster refused
to do till the cost of feeding and keep
ing him was paid, in all amounting to
two dollars and fifty cents. A collec-
ton was called for among his old
friends, the money forwarded and Ow-
ney released.
Everybody in the postal service In
the United States knows him, and per-
haps the next time he visits Canada
he will not be a stranger,-M. l. fnger-

they hung Mexican dollar on his

A CORRECT INVITATION.

is seldom the case in regard to the
paper, cotton, tin, wooden, linen and
china anniversaries. At such affairs,
much of the merriment and jollity
among the guests is occasioned by the
unique presents offered.
A couple who had enjoyed the bliss
of married life for two years summoned
their friends to paper wedding. This
event opened the way for artistic table
decorations on the part of the hostess
and novel souvenir offerings from the
guests.
The odd paper tablecloth was formed
of large sheets Of crinkled paper, pasted
together and adorned, wherever the
joining occurred, by lengths Of satin
ribbon Crinkled tissue napkins, with
deep fringes, crinkled tissue doylies
and other paper furnishings were
shown in the faintest OF rose pinks
and pale greens.
The candle shades were of tissue,
decorated with tissue blossoms. There
were paper bonbon boxes ut the place
of each guest, filled with choice sweet
les; tiny trays of salted almonds ap.
peared in papier-mache, delicately
painted, and pale pink papier-mache
finger bowls, with rose petals floating
on the perfumed water, also had place
amid the assortment OF quaint paper
table settings.
As for the giftsl Well, everything
had a showing, from note paper to ex
quisite tissue lamp shades, bearing
beautiful garnitures Of tissue flowers
One very practical as well as pretty
present was papier mache toilet set
The pitcher, bowl, soap dish and small
or articles were Of dainty cream tint
painted in . design of daisies ani
grasses.
The shops TEEN with such delightful
novelties in every form that the search
for wedding anniversary presents
from cotton to silver, is by no means {
difficult one. A little originality, ,
little taste and not very much none.

congratulatory bit.-Golden Days.

Long before ladies' newspapers were

which were sent from one country to
