Some Remarks Made by the Crowds
at Wedding.
There was crowd about the long stretch
of striped awning that ran from the church
door across the sidewalk to the curb, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. 1t was good
natured crowd. Sometimes little IA cetious,
but, like the average crowd that attends free
shows, fairly tolerant. There were more
women than men and good many little
girls. Whiletbey waited they chatted glibly
together, an occasional voice rising shrilly
overthe general muTmurs. Some things they
said were fairly humorous, and most of the
remarks took the form Of absurd sugges-
tions and explanations. What they said
would have clogged photograph in short
order, but out of the running fire of harm
less raillery these shots were saved:
Il wonder what's a-kecpin' 'em? She
told me she'd be real puDctOoal."

THE parson'l soon tie him up tight

RIDING HABITS IN VIENNA.

A CORRESP ONDENT now in the gay
n capital Of Austria writes in en-
thusiastic terms of the white riding
habits. whicffare at present popular there.
Three of these worn with white sailor
hats. were made of soft but thin pique, the
skirt extremely short and the jacket and
the waistcoat strapped at the seams.
The collar of the waistcoat was high and
quite military in shape. and the sleeves
hardly filled at the shoulder. White gloves
and white patent leather top boots gave
the whole costume a charming finish.
Tiny clusters of small. fresh blossoms"
the same authority adds. 'are now
placed in the bride OF the riding horses
beneath the ear. their color corresponding
with that of the siiken frontal.''
