AN ENGLISH WEDDING GOWN.

One of the most charming wedding
dresses described by the London Queen of
current date was that worn By Miss
Beatrice Edith Jamblin on the occasion of
her marriage with Edward Richard
Wetherall in st. Paul's Church, Padding
ton. The Queen says the bride was ele-
gantly dressed in rich cream brocade, the
bodice being trimmed with pearl and gold
passementerie, and lovely ostrich trim
ming defining the yoke of the most becom-
ing gown. Her court train, which fell in
graceful folds from both shoulders, was of
perfectly plain duchesse satin. In her
hair she wore sprays of real orange bios
SONS and a Limerick lace veil. Her orna-
ments were diamond initial brooch, the
gift of the bridegroom, a diamond,
sapphire, and pearl butterfly and diamond
swallows. Her bouquet, the gift of the
bridegroom, was of rare exotics. Her
train was carried by the youngest brides
maid, who, with two other of the bride
gfoom's sisters, wore ivorywhite alpaca
costumes with yokes of maize-colored silk,
elbow sleeves, and epaulettes of maize silk
and white chiffon edged with pearl en-
broidery. Their white fancy straw hats
were trimmed with white silk ribbon and
ostrich feathers. They carried shower
bouquets of yellow roses and wore dia-
mond initial brooches, the gifts OF the
bridegroom.

for him simple, wholesome food, see that
he gets plenty of sleep, that his nerves are
not disturbed by teasing by Others and in
all probability he will cease to manifest
nervousness, especially if he never hears
older people talk about being nervous.
Moral suasion may do very well for older
children, but / never could appreciate its
powers during babyhood. read the ex-
perience recently of mother who was a
strong believer in the "Come away, baby :;
there's darling, now do" theory, until
her own little one began to creep about.
Like other babies he investigated every
thing within reach, being especially at
tracted by the books which he could reach
and pull to the floor.
For awhile the mother patiently re-
placed the books and carried baby away.
Just as often he went back again, until
patience ceased to be a virtue. Then
theory gave way to something more prac-
tical-the mischievous little hands were
punished - and the books were left in
peace.

HOW THEY DIFFER.

Man is a creature of castiron habits
woman adapts herself to circumstances
this is the foundation of the moral differ
ence between them.
A man does not attempt to drive nail
unless he has hammer; woman does
not hesitate to utilize anything, from the
heel of a boot to the back of brush.
A man considers corkscrew absolutely
necessary to open a bottle woman at
tempts to extract the cork with the scis-
sors; if she does not succeed readily, she
pushes the cork in the bottle, since the
essential thing is to get at the fluid.
Shaving is the only use to which man
puts razor; woman employs it for a
chiropodist's purposes.
When man writes everything must be
in apple-pie order; pen, paper and ink
must be just so, profound silence must
reign while he accomplishes this impor-
tant function. A woman gets any sheet of
paper. tears it perhaps from a book or
portfolio, sharpens pencil with the scls-

ABOUT THE CHILDREN.
Views of a Lady Who Has Given the

Views of a Lady Who Has Given the
Subject Much Thought.
DR.. Mary Wood Allen writing in
Womankind of breaking children OF the
habit of whining says: In this case,
should say that the first thing to do is to
secure the cordial cooperation of every
other adult member of the family. Let
there be united purpose never to give to
the child that for which he whines, even
if it would be given to him otherwise.
Give him to understand this in firm but
gentle way, and if possible secure his ap-
prevail of the idea. Tell him kindly of the
evil of the habit, the unhappiness it causes
him and every one else, show him that it
is creating habit for the future years and
tell him you are all going to help him to
overcome it. Let him feel that your re-
fusal to grant his whining requests are to
aid him, not to punish him. Then
steadily, persistently, sweetly and firmly
adhere to this policy. Never once yield to
his insistence, but always recognize his at
tempts to meet your wishes in a pleasant
manner.
If the thing he wants is something he
should not have, tell him so, and assure
him that no amount of whining will secure
it, and then let him whine. Wait. don It
scold, don't tantalize, don't appear to be
either disturbed or moved by his whining.
If what he desires is something he can
have, and he whines for it, assure him that
as soon as he asks pleasantly he can have
| it, and then give him time to make up
his mind to be pleasant. We are too apt
to drive our children rapidly from one
frame of mind to another. Wait patiently
and if possible help him by diverting his
thoughts to something agreeable. In a
few minutes he will probably get control
of himself. 1t is ofen very touching
sight to witness the efforts of children to
elders.
The mother says that this child is
nervous He should never hear this said
of himself. He will soon learn to use the
expression as an excuse for naughtiness.

1t would make entertaining far easier if
men would observe such simple rules for
invitations received, which meet with no
recognition by attendance. Excuse sent or

any one ignoring such civility is not fit

A recent visitor at Tronville remarks:
The men displayed preference for white,

coats, white trousers, white shoes and
white caps with black visors. The tendency
is for verv little display in mems attire.
Modesty prevails, rather than evidences of
large expenditure.
