80 FOR AVERAGE BRIDES.

81 10 FOX Az ElkAII DiNlD-o.
When q cake is ordered the bride or
groom selects the size. The commonest
one is a four-pOund cake. Ihis is as
large as a dinner plate. 1t doesn't SOUND
very large for wedding cake, but TINS is
the average cake, and the average bride
can afford no more. The cost Is about
sixty cents pound or $3.50 for the cake.
and then comes the icing and trimming.
The icing costs dollar or so, and makes
the cake look twice as big and the TRIM
ming actually swells it into grandeur.
The ornament on top. which IS part OF
the wedding cake of to-day. Is a matter
of selection For SO you can get very
fine little Cupid. with an anvil in his
hands lie pounds upon a sugar wedding
bell. with the result that musical IN
strument hidden in its sugared depths be-
gins 10 play the I.ohengrin March and
follows IL UP with the popular airs or the
day. One Of these was just made for a
New York wedding
As a wedding cake, like the bicycle OF
Daisy Bell fame. IS built for two; the
ornaments have a dual consideration.
You see a bride and bridegroom In front
Of n Cupid parson The bride wears real
silk and tulle, but the bridegroom is Of
black sugar paste. Again, you see a very
beautiful pair OF hearts. Joined by an
arrow shot from the bow OF smiling
Cupid. who hangs himself up nearby to
watch results.
WASHINGTON WEDDINGS.
The cost OF a very small ornament Is
$3.50 And this is not so tiny either IL
will tower above the cake six Inches and
spread out In most attractive array.
Ornaments ordered by people with 1t
tie money to spend stand three feet high.
The most popular is a bell with Mar
rage upon II and a fine sugar claDper.
The bell is gorgeously trimmed with sugar
flowers. and from all directions come
cupids and birds of sugar to attend the
first chimes A cake two feet high, with
all this upon 1t. can be found for SIS, with
each sugar plum warranted real. And
this price is low when you consider that
a few years ago the ornament" was
the heaviest cost Of the marriage feast

A FAKIR HARVEST.
The biggest business of the year is
done by the fakirs, who reap a harvest
undreamed Of any other day. The Punch
and Judy shows make rich, and the
gan-grinders go home with money TO
burn through all the chilly spring. The
peanut industry gets its start on this
day and the red lemonade comes out
from its winter hiding place.
Most elaborate preparations have been
made for the Easter egg-rolling Of to-
morrow. In the evening or late after
noon, after the dampness calls Miss
Ruth indoors, there will be a small Sc

A word OF grief to me erewhile:
We have cut the oak down in our isle.
And l said: Eye have bereaven
The song-thrush and the bee,
And the fsher-boy at sea
or his seamark in the even;
And gourds of cooling shade, to lie
Within the sickle's sound;
And the old sheep-dog's saffron eye
OF sleep on duty's ground;
And poets Of their tent
And quiet tenement.
All, impious who so paid
Such fatherhood. and made
OF murmurous Immortality a cargo and IL
trade"
N.AsA
For the hewn oak century fair,
A wound in earth, an ache in air.
And | said: mo pillared height
with a summer dais over
Where a dryad fled her lover
Through the long arcade OF light;
Nor meath Arcturus rolleth more.
Since the loud leaves are gone.
Between the shorn cliff and the shore,
Pans organ antiphon.

This blow at grandeur's mead:
Some green reproach o'erdue.

That for his too plain heavenliness our

presses the utmost hostility TO tho state

on tho evident idea that the canal has NO

President Bryan would have been justi.
6ed In declining with thanks. Whyi
Because Mr.. Matthews has not the fao.
ulty OF using diplomatic language. In
writing Of the irrigation meeting he
might have mystined his meaning by
Juggling with ths Rualish language and
left all readers In blissful uncertainty aa
70 his position. But he did not chose to
do this.

plainly, but tho fuct remains that tho

The Irrepresslble Irrigation Twins,

and Robert Grant Of Pueblo. and A. N.
Parish OF Lamar were appointed CON-
mittee to try to harmonize the interests
Of state canal No. and the lower Ar.
kansas valley. The report Of that COM
mittee recommends "that there be joint
action Of all the representatives and SEN
ators in the Arkansas valley in securing
the passage OF tho following acts, OF the
general assembly:
s1st. Providing for the construction
of the Twin Lakes storage reservoir for
the use of canals in the Arkansas valley
taking water from said Arkansas river,
said water therein stored to be used only
during the irrigation season, from April
/ to Nov. /, and distributed into said
canals pro rata according to their prior.
tiles, use, size, demand and necessities;
and that an appropriation be made there
for of $50, 600.
"2d. Providing for work 10 be contin-
ued on State Canal No. l, and that an ap.
preparation be made therefor Of $40, 600"
The report was discussed at length,
but no final decision was reached. The
point wherein the greatest difficulty was
found, says the Chieftain, was in the
question Of providing for distribution OF
the Twin Lakes reservoir water, some ap-
proving the Recommendation, others
wanting no provision made and still
others wishing it to be made on the basis
of priorities alone. Again, some wanted
the two appropriations linked in one bill.
It was finally decided to meet at Rocky
Ford at a. M, December so, Wednes-
day next, when it is hoped the entire
Arkansas valley delegation to the legis-
lature may be present and reach some
final agreement.
