life of the ordinary man and woman Is
not without an important bearing As
those who dance must pay the fiddler SO
those who stand in the position of parent
or guardian to brides and bridegrooms-
elect must be ready to foot their bills, if
the principals do not do it themselves. A
wedding. take it any way you WILL Is likely
TO be about the most expensive ceremonial
with which the average life is attended.
unless it be a funeral. Indeed, a good
many people whose everyday career is
most commonplace and accompanied by
the least possible flourish throw expense
and care to the winds when the question
of matrimony looms UP and indulge in
the only great extravaganza of their life
time.
There are a great many ways of getting
married. 1t need not necessarily cost any
more trouble or expense than the trip TO
the city hall for license and the visit TO
the officiating clergyman. license only
costs dollar. which is cheap, considering
1t may represent life contract, while il
will cost twice as much for your dog to
wear District tag for each year of his ex-
istence. The clergyman's fee depends en-
tirely on the value you put upon his SER
vices. He has no schedule of prices. Five
dollars is said to be the average fee. A
great many clergymen would. however, dis
sent from this as being several dollars too
high. But this feature of the ceremony is
really almost as confidential as the original
inquiry which led up to the marriage. Peo-
pie do not ordinarily describe the crcum-
stances of their proposing or accepting.
Neither do they tell. the amount of their
wedding fee. But be that great or small,
there are certain other well defined ex-
pense5 incurred which are apparent to ALL
ard which anybody and everybody can find
out themselves If they take the trouble
Custom has ordained which parts of the
burden each of the high contracting prin-
cipals or their parents shall bear.
The average fashionable wedding takes
place in church. Outside of the reverend
gentlemen included in the ceremonial, there
is the organist to be paid, sometimes the
choristers also, and always the sexton to
remember. The chancel is usually decorat-
ed with plants and palms, which is another
expense, though not a heavy one, consider
ing the effect attained by the presence of
the living green. Evening weddings have
grown a bit unpopular lately; so the re-
ception following the average wedding Is a
breakfast. The guests invited to this event
are supposed to include only the most in
innate friends and the kinsfolks of the con-
tracing families.
The brides parents make the arrange
ments for the wedding at the church, pay

and What to Do.
From the Youths Companion.
Bleeding from the nose is caused by :he
congestion of the lining membrane OF the
nose.
This congestion may be the result of
catarrh, or. more properly, of the diseased
condition of the nasal membranes which is
due to catarrh; or it may accompany con-
sesion of some organ of the body, as the
liver It may also result from heart dis
ease, or even from dyspepsia
Nose-bleed in children is commonly sup
posed to indicate nothing more than that
the child tires easily or is over-active. Yet
even these terms express more than is
obvious upon casual reading of the words
IT child tires easily, or, in other words.
II the least oVer-eXertion at play or at
study results in a more or less severe at
tack of nosebleed the child must he in
weakened state; while, on the other hand
II he is accustomed to allow his play or his
studies so to absorb his interest as to make
him forget his fatigue he is placing an in
judicious strain upon his constitution.
In either case he will be benefited by
curtailment of work and an increase in the
amount of time allotted for rest until his
body is more fully developed. No childs
mind can be developed faster than the body
except at the expense of health
Nosebleed occurring in middle life and old
age Is more serious thing, as it indicates
a sraver condition of affairs. 1t is usually
coincident with diseases of the liver heart
or kidneys Its cure is, of course depend
ent upon the restoration of the organs 10 a
normal condition. In elderly persons the
disorder sometimes appears to result from
weakness, which, In turn, it aggravates
1t is common saying that in fuil-hlooded
persons an occasional nosebleed is bene-
fetal; and this may in a certain sense be
true, inasmuch as the nasal membranes
are thus relieved of congestion. But it is
safe to say that bleeding from the nose IL
never anything but a sign of weakness.
The treatment of an attack of nosebleed
consists in absolute rest and cool applica-
lions to the head. The extremties should
be warm. The head should not be held
down over basin, as this favors the flow

ARRANGING THE HAIR.

Some of the Latest Ideas in the Line
of Stylish CoifYures.
The arrangement of the hair should cor
respond in some measure with the richness
of the gown. If it is elaborate in design
and heavy in material, simple knot would
be in bad taste; a well-dressed head al
ways helps out the other accessories of
the toilet. A charming couture is COM
posed of Greek puffs and curls, with the
hair waved and arranged in large, loose
rings on the forehead, on each side of a

natural defects and beauties are studied
with view TO remedying or developing
them. and the head follows suit She no
longer wears the stylish thing, but that
which suits her face. If Ter forehead is
too high, curly locks are allowed to fall
over it to hide the defect. If the head is
too high and round on the crown for SYM
metry, the hair is dressed low to give bal
ance and grace to its shape. There is
really no face no expression, which may
not be helped by becoming arrangement Of
the hair.
