A Hat for October.

down the front. There are deep square
revers covered with gold and red en-
broidery and a short vest piece of
cream white velvet. The very large
sleeves are furnished at the elbow with
q band of white velvet, dotted with
gilt buttons. A coarse brown straw hat
trimmed with white velvet and golden
rod completes very chic costume.
Another dress ordered on this side of
the water by one of Lord Dunraven's
daughters-it is unbelievable but true
lis of mixed tweed in crimson and
dark green. 1t has an immensely full
skirt that buttons on the hips with
brownish gold quartz buttons, the
twinkle and the sparkle of the metal
coming out very effectively. The same
buttons are used to fasten the tight
fitting bodice. which is double breasted
and which has wide coat revers.

and already showed evidences of the
| lnsalubrity of that place she finally CON
| sented to the match.
The day before the wedding the whole
amount of the dowry in cash was naid
| over to Haskas, and from clerk with
| a pitiful salary of three liras week he
became IN one hour q partner in the
| firm he had formerly worked for. Ont
of this money Haskas bought diamond
necklace and some other Jewels for his
bride and his own wedding clothes.
The wedding was to be at the home
of the bride. When l arrived at the
house she was just dressed and / was in
vited into the bedroom where she stood
in her magnificence. She was com
pletely covered from head to foot with
veil of long slips of tinsel like that
with which we decorate our Christmas
trees. You could see nothing through
this but the bottom of her dress. The
women lifted the veil to show her face.
The bride was not over fifteen or six
teen and was quite pretty so far rs one
could judge. Her cheeks were painted
and her eyebrows penciled darkly, to
meet in the centre and reach to her
hair. The rest of her face was one dead
white, made so by lead cosmetic. Her
dress was white satin embroidered with
silver and pearls. The clothes were
clumsily made as are all oriental gar
ments and completely disfgured what
ever of grace she had. At hint from
my friends 1 took up fold of her
dress to see that the pearls
were genuine. Her hair was long and
thick and braided full of little jingling
coins.
In ignorance of etiquette forgot to
look at her feet, when she took the ini-
tiative and stuck out one and then the
other to show that she had velvet slip
pers worked with gold thread and
pearls. Then she showed her solitaire
earrings.

MISS MISS MARTHA CUNNINGHAM n.

Martha Cunningham, the young
poetess, whose fame is so steadily TAX
ing shape, and who has been compared
even by some of ohr severest critics. to
Browning, has accomplishments that
are not confined to the field of poesy.
She has, first, what all women prize
above all things, and that is genuine
beauty, and she speaks French, Italian
and German, with fluency. She is also
harpist of exceptional power, her exc
cution being something notable for a
woman, who has just passed her teens.
She was at school abroad for six years,
in Paris, Berlin and London, and has
Travelled over Europe, besides spending
several months in the Holy Land All
this, for a woman who has not yet got
ten beyond her twenty-first milestone,
is little unusual, even in this age of
rapid development. One of Cardinal
Gibbons last acts, before ernbarking on
his late foreign trip. was to write to

very long ago.

The bridegroom was clerk and was
rather taller than is usual for an Ar
menian to be. as they are generally
rather under than over the medium
height. He was well built and had
dark eyes and curling hair and a good
fresh color, and in fact was quite
good looking young fellow. His name
was Haskas. He, like all the Greeks
and Armenians, as we'll as the majority
of Europeans was quite willing to ac
cept fortune with his bride. In fact
l suspect that the prospective fortune
| was the prime faoeor in thin saarriaso.
A young man of those countries has
but few chances of making money for
himself, and custom makes it appear
quite proper for him to secure a for
tune more or less great with his bride.
Parents begin to lay aside their daugh-
ter's dowery from the time girl is
born, and according to the family
and social providence of the young
man are the demands of his friends.
He is allowed no social intercourse
with the unmarried ladies of any fam
lily, and therefore his affections cannot
be said to be engaged.
When an Armenian family has a
ycung daughter to marry they look
about until they find some young man
who suits their ideas and then mes
senger is sent to this young mans near
est relatives, telling of the admirable
qualities of the girl and naming the sum
of her dover. This is promptly
refused if the young mans fam
lily thinks it is insufficient. The
young mans parents want all they can
get and they haggle and bid back and
forth until finally thinking they can do
no better they accept The preliminaries
are arranged either by the professional
match makers or the relatives of bride
and groom. The young man then
makes a formal demand for the hand
of the young lady through the nearest
friend, the groom's mother, if she is
living The match-makers are old
women, and they are paid by one family
or the other. Often two sets of match
makers are employed, and they ar
range everything, making the proposal
and bearing the shy acceptance.
In the case of the wedding of which

family had gone down to the young
mans Office and made her proposal

popularity of Socialism among the

uncompromising declaration of the

manner of Bohemia as more frank than
its writings. 1t is obviously difficult to
illustrate this point, but perhaps 1 may,
without claiming Bohemian honors my
self or commencing those who do, tell
of wedding in the artistic rather than
the literary section of Bohemia. Be-
fore this occurred the lady, addressing
her intended husband on one occasion

Many women who write daring books
are neither in nor of Bohemia, but
are quiet, home staying bodies blessed
with all the domestic virtues and fell
cities. Many who write Sunday school
books, on the other hand, are person
ally of the new order and indulge their
freakish literary tastes under safe ano-
nyms.

tinsel veil kept that of the bride steady,
but Hasdar's did not fit and kept slip

The bride was short. Haskes tall, and

With Foreheads Touching,

While the Armenians who live in
European Turkey, and above all in
Constantinople, have adopted foreign
dress and modes of living. their relig-
ious observances have never undergone
any change, and probably never will.
Their weddings, their baptisms, and
their funerals, as well as their church
services, are all to-day exactly the same
as when the Armenian Catholic church
was founded in the third century by
the Apostle Andrew.
Those ancient customs fit in to-day
with modern ideas very oddly, and tor
a person of the end of the nineteenth
century to find himself alone at one of
these ceremonies is to feel as if he were
dreaming of times long past. The
writer of this was invited to an Armen-
ian wedding in Constantinople not SO
very long ago.

The best of the new capes reach to
