The Bride,s ODD MistaIke.

In recent number of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer there was an odd mistake. A belle
of Cleveland was to be married to q promi-
nent gentleman, and the reporter of the
paper went to the bride-elect and asked her
for her photograph. What was the conster-
nation of the bride-to-be and her friends
to find the picture &C some other one given
her name, when the picture was published.
The following day the paper printed another
picture labeled '"The Real Mrs. Richard
Beatty" and the explanation that the
bride, when solicited for her picture, was
so agitated, that, having her own and her
cousins picture in the same envelope, she
did not notice that she had not given her
own until the picture was printed. The Sec
ond picture shows that the bride is beau
tiful girl.
A feature of a recent church wedding in
this city, it will be we'll for others to imi-
tate The bridal procession moved up the
aisle, as usual, the bride accompanied by her
father. After the ceremony 1t is customary
for the party to pass out in order and when
the father arrives at the front pew his wife
takes his arm and they follow the party.
At this wedding the father sat down in the
pew with his wife and all the friends in the
church sat still, wondering what was COM
ing next. The uSherS, after escOrting the
party to the door, returned to the front and
formed an aisle, while the parents of both
bride and groom passed out, and then each
escorted a lady down the aisle. BY this time
the bridal party had had ample time to get
IN the carriages and away. There are few
things that society people do that verge on
the rudest kind of conduct, and one is to
rush out and almost trample over the bride
and groom after a church wedding People
act likewise at funeral and stand waiting
about the gate until the family pass out. 1t
Is probably meant to be respectful, hut 1t
would be in better taste to accept the op-
portunitY to retire from the scene

THE HOLIDAY WEEK wILI. MARK 4
GAY SEASON LOCALLY.
The Invitations That Are Out-A Mover
Idea Carried Out mt a Recent
Church wedding.

The holiday season promises to be a busv
one socially. Christmas day coming at the
very last of the week seems to leave more
time than usual for the gift shopping. and
so this week will be largely devoted to buv
ing and sending packages out of town The
mails have already begun to feel the COM
ing rush with letters and bundles that have
to go to persons far away. There is ALWAYS
a last bit of hurry. for some one Is sure
to be omitted from the list, and very often.
as in sending out invitations it is the near
est and dearest friend. The making of
neighborhood calls also furnishes analogy
The people live so near that it seems pos
sible to make a call almost any time. but
the almost any time comes as seldom as
if the people lived miles in the country or
on some faraway street.
There are a number OF invitations ont
The Blair Cleland wedding tomorrow even
ing at the First Presbyterian Church is the
first. Tuesday evening there will be the
December play of the Dramatic Club. which
IS always a social event, and the New
England dinner. which calls out large
company. Wednesday evening there will be
the Laycock-McOuat wedding, and later in
the evening the meeting of the Contem-
porary Club. Friday comes the large after
noon reception by Mrs Cortland Van Camp
and Miss Van Camp, with dance in the

Saturday is Christmas with all that it
implies. The holiday week will be full with
the Princeton Glee Club entertainments
Monday, followed by dinners dances, re-
ceptions and other gala events The young
people are hocking home from schools and
colleges, and they always have a gay time
The college men will give a dance at the
Brenneke Academy Dec. 80, when all of
them will be hosts. A number of visitors
are to come for the holidays, just as they
always do Indianapolis usually has some
pretty young woman visitors, who receive
unlimited attention, and it will have an
opportunity to do some entertaining within
the next few weeks.
A few days ago Mr.. j. w. Adronse, an
English water-color artist, now in the city,
visited Parks's "Bacchante," at Miss
Voss's. He admired the statue exceedingly
and, after leaving, jotted down the follow
ing impromptu:
"A Joy Forever
Daughter of innocence and grace,
The purity of thy sweet face
Abides with me.
Those virgin charms! How they entwine
Around this inmost soul Of mine,
And lift me to that sphere divine
Where memory works her mystic spell,
And lingering, shall forever dwell,
Unto eternity.
Then henceforth at Bacchante's shrine
Youth, innocence and art combine
This tribute to be given;
The hand that touched that marble rare
And left a breathing goddess there,
Had been inspired by heaven.

The Star of Bethlehem.

Where dwels the splendor of that star
Which led the wise men on their way,
Who journeyed from the East afar
TO where the King of Glory lay?
For some have sought, with reverent care
To find the ray the Mag saw;
And, ever failing. wondered where
1t serves the Universal Law.
Where is the star? 1t shines as clear
AS when it brought them to their goal;-
Not there, but here; not far, but near
It's glory beameth in the soul!

A young lady residing in an Ohio city
wrote to friend here of a fair given there
a short time ago. She said: "A novel fea-
ture Of the fair was a dairy stall. The
maids in attendance were dressed like the
nilkmaids in Tess with Powered gowns
and white aprons, muslin caps and slippers
with huge buckles. An Alderney COW. with
a collar of ribbons and bells, was tethered
short distance from the stall and served
TO ornament the vicinity as well as to give
the proper dairy atmosphere. All sorts or
delightful things were sold. There
were little pats . OF golden o put !.
baskets made of card board and covered
with dried moss of different shades of green,
IN which were new laid eggs; small brown
jars of cream; little cream cheeSes and
other dairy produces. Miniature churns
filled with candies and small firkins of
sweets were also sold. In one corner glasses
of milk cream, buttermik and sweetened
whey were Sold and in another corner were
delicious things to be eaten with milk or
cream.
Little Miss Muffet was polite little miss
In white fichu and mob cap. She served
her famous delicacy in wooden bowls and
charged a good price for her hospitality.
From the roof of the stall. where she served
her curds and whey. was suspended huge
spider that was an amusing reminder OF the
nursery rhyme and furnished food for
laughter to the people who sought refresh
ment in Miss Muffet's corner"

TARDY JUSTICE.

The Republicans, who were low

dictated solely by considerations of the
public good, are not ashamed now to
take up and commend those same pol
icies after he is out of office. There is
no word of acknowledgment of their
ancient meanness and falsehood, nor
Of doing justice to a great man
sc much maligned. They are intent
only upon catching some of his ideas
at second hand and grating them
upon a policy which they are pleased
to call their own. We have already
shown how amply true this is in the
Cuban matter. The Cuban policy of
Grover Cleveland is that of William
Mckinley. The Cuban policy of Rich
ard Olney is that Of John Sherman.
Such tardy justice as Republicans can
do to these men by stealing their ideas
and following the path which they
have marked out they are willing to do.
