Chicago is nothing if not progressive, orig

are welcome to climb to the very summit Of
Olympus, providing they have the talent and
the pluck to get there. Laurel wreaths bear

heads, with especial lightweight brands to
suit delicate feminine brows.
This was n wise provision. for the young
women of Chicago are doing work, both in the

Jaques Berg and his bride found them
selves lost in the mazes Of dark Chicago
late at night, and were given a ride in the
patrol wagon to a hotel.

his former home and found his wife pledged

1t is announced that Mr.. and Mrs. White
law Reid have offered their beautiful house
in West Chester. N. Y, to ex-President Har-
rson in which to spend his honeymoon. The
offer has not as yet been accepted.
There is an old superstition that it is I'M
lucky for a young woman to make the brides
cake for her own wedding. A cooking school
graduate, who tried 1t once unwisely, ate a
piece of the cake just after it came out of
the oven, and the wedding had to be post
poned.
A wholesale marriage ceremony was per-
formed in Odd Fellows hall at Hockessin, a
few miles from Wilmington, Del, on Sunday
afternoon. Eight couples of colored people
were married simultaneously by Rev. William
Jason, president of the State College for Col
ored Students. The ceremony was witnessed
by more than 300 people.
The bride-to-be of Judge Truax of the
New York superior court, is Miss Carrie
Darlington, who, a year ago, distinguished
herself as a graduate of the law class of
the University Of the City of New York.

search became so interesting that Sweetest
Suean laughed. There was nothing to laugh
at. but she was thrilled by the excitement
Of trying to find the White Pig-and he was
not a small pig by any means-that she had
to express her feelings in some way. and so
she laughed.
At that moment Drusilla came to the edge
of the thicket. Hearing Sweetest Susan

have followed, TOO, but Just as she had
reached the bottom of the gully and started
through the weeds the White Pig rose by
her side with a loud grunt. Drusilla was so
terrified that she sank in the weeds, unable
to utter a sound. Sweetest Susan screamed
and Buster John was so taken by surprise,
and so confused, that for an instant he was
undecided whether to take to his heels,
dragging his sister after him, or whether
to stand his ground.
"Gooft-ooft!" grunted the White Pig.

THE WHITE PIGS STORY.

THE WHITE PIGS STORY.
The next day the children were ready to
go to the plum thicket in the peach orchard
as soon as they had their breakfast; but
while they were talking about 1t a new
trouble arose. 1t grew out Of a question
asked by Drusilla.

inquired.
but It. presented a difficulty. Sweetest Susan
looked at Buster John for an answer, and
Buster John looked at Sweetest Susan and
Drusilla, but made no reply.
"Kase eff he amt" remarked Drusilla,
pursuing the subject, you'll des halter to

Finally Buster John said he would find
Aaron, but Aaron was not to be found. He
had gone off with the plough hands early in
the morning, and wouldn't be back before
night. Thereupon Buster John declared that
he was going to the plum thicket, IL he had
to go by himself.
I'm most afraid said Sweetest Susan.
I'm wuss'n dat" exclaimed Drusilla. I'm
skeered des dry So"
Then both of you stay where you are"
cried Buster John. He started off very
boldly. but not without some misglyings.
Looking back without pretending to do so,
he saw Sweetest Susan coming. though very
slowly, while Drusilla was dragging along
and bringing up the rear, quarreling and
begging Sweetest Susan to turn back. Bus
ter John stopped and told his sister to come
on, and waited for her.
IN go whar ] kin see how dat viii hog
do when he eats folks, but bosses can't drag
me in dat ar plum thicket whar he hidin',"
remarked Drusilla.
Sweetest Susan was not much afraid, see
ing Buster John so bold, and Buster John
was made holder by the fact that his sister
seemed willing TO go. So they went, Dru-
silla bringing up the rear and protesting.
The plum thicket grew on each side of a
gully that had washed in the lower part Of
the orchard. The plum trees were small
and grew very close together, and the gully
was filled with a seasons growth Of weeds
that had not been uprooted by the rains.
SO that. taken altogether, the plum thicket
was a very convenient hiding place for the
White Pig. or for any other creature not
larger than a horse.
The children approached It cautiously, and
h~esitated about entering, While they were
hating and considering what TO do, they
heard a grunt from the middle of the thicket
"a grunt as friendly and as familiar as II
II came from a fat hog In a pen. Reassured
by this, Buster John went into the thicket,
followed by Sweetest Susan. They went In
cautiously and looked about them very eau
tiously, but they could see nothing.
