What the bridesmaids shall wear is
always a difficult matter to decide. Their
costumes must be smart and becoming,
but care must be taken lest they in any
way detract from the brides costume;
they should therefore be of distinctly
different style, so that no comparison
can be made. For this reason it is no
longer fashionable for bridesmaids to
wear wells: hats and bonnets or a dainty
head-dress is much more in style. As
there are almost always both blondes
and brunettes among the bridesmaids,
II is not easy to choose a color that
will be becoming to all. Yellow and
pink are the safest, and q charming
effect can be gained, if there are six
bridesmaids. by having three different
shades of color, pale yellow or pale
pink, to start with.
when white IS chosen as the color It
must be relieved by the trimmings,
flowers. and hats, or it will surely clash
with the wedding gown. At a recent
wedding the bridesmaids wore gowns
made with skirts Of white brocade,
waists of mousseline de sole plsse. and

he managed to answer: Cali right. Tell
them they shall have it at once"
The experience he had so recently
been through was still wildly clear to
his minds eye, and he gave it in a
straightforward, simple story. The 500
words were quickly written and dis
patched, signed with his name. Then

and many were the words of praise he
got for his pluck.
But happy as these made Bert feel,
it was letter which came week later
that made his joy the greatest. 1t was
from the managing editor of the
Globe, and it offered him a chance to
work for the paper with the promise,
il he did well, that he would be reg.
ularly enrolled on the staff.
OF course, Bert wrote prompt ac-
ceptance, with his fathers approval,
and how much he made of his oppor-
tunity is shown by the fact that he now
has a responsible place on the Globe
force, and is one Of that papers most

Dunkards.


The Dunkards, or Tunkers, belong to
a sect founded in 1908 at Schwarzenau,
Germany, by Alexander Mack and seven
others, who rejected the doctrines of
paedo-baptism. The name is a nick
name, derived from the German Tunker
to dip-members of the sect styling
themselves Brethren. Persecution
drove the founders to Holland, and be-
tween 171o and 1929 they all emigrated
thence to America. They are found in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio
and Indiana, and it is apparent that
some have found their way further
west, but their numbers all told are
not great. Their church discipline is
nearly the same as that of other Bap-
fists, except that every brother is al
lowed to exhort. Men found apt to
teach are ordained ministers, and the
oldest teachers bishops. The Dunkards
affect great ,plainness Of speech and
dress, like the Quakers; neither take
oaths, fight, nor go to law; and former
ly they took no interest. They cele-
brate the taking Of the sacrament with
love feasts, washing of feet, the kiss
of charity, and the right hand OF fcl-
lowship; anoint the sick with oil for
recovery; and practice complete inn
mersion, with laying ON OF hands and
prayer even while the person baptized

VIXEN he had received the bundle Of
written. sheets from the Globe man
and was leaving, q sudden thought
that he could not possibly return till
late made him call to the telegraph
operator to send word to his father
where he had gone.
Final instructions were given him by
the newspaper man, also q card to
show the operator at the Bluffs in
default of money to pay for the tele-
gram. Ten minutes later he had
clamped on his skates and was off.
The breeze blew directly across the
lake from the northeast. Itstruck him
on his right side, and while it did not
actually impede him, made breathing
no easy task. But the ice was firm and
green and as smooth as it could be, and
he swung along at smart pace, for
there was not a better skater in Lake
view. Five miles were covered in short
order. Then he slackened his speed and
began to consider what course he
should adopt.
If he went all the way down the lake
to point opposite Pine Bluffs and cut
straight across to the town it would be
safest, for he would have thick, smooth
ice for the whole distance; but it would
also take him longer than to strike
I;agonally across the lake from where
he then was. The latter plan would
take him over couple of miles of ice
of which he would not be sure, but he
would thereby save nearly half an hour
Of valuable time provided the ice held.
A couple of minutes of debate de-
cided him. The "Globe" needed the
''story," as the man had called it, as
soon as possible. He had undertaken
to see that it got through quickly. He
felt that if regular member Of the
staff of that paper had the matter in
hand he would not weigh his conven-
ience, or even some danger, against do
ing the service speedily.
He swung around, and started out
on straight course for the town. The
wind was on his back, and if he had
skated fast before, he now was ringing
along at pace which made his earlier
effort seem slow. In five minutes he
was entirely without the shelter of the
high ground.
The ice was still firm, but almost
transparent under the light which the
moon occasionally gave, as it struggled
from between clouds. It had stopped

fastened on the right shoulder. Tho
only jewels she wore were strings OF
diamonds braided through her blonde
hair, the brilliancy of which was, how
ever, offset by the happiness and pleas
ant expression of her youthful, round
face. While hundreds crowded to the
throne to obtain the honor of being pre-.
sented to the young queen, she looked
several times over into that small part
of the ballroom where some devotees
Of the art attempted to dance. Shortly
after her arrival a "quadrille of honor
was danced. Queen Wilhelmina arose
and danced this quadrille with the Rus

swinging them over his shoulder BY

shoveled clear. Five minutes later he
was at the telegraph Office.
"Are the wires working?" he asked,
breathlessly.
"All open" returned the official.
''Thank goodness!" calculated Bert.
For moment he had thought of the
awful possibility of being stopped here
after all his work and danger. He un.
precious manuscript. "Send that
through to the Globe as fast as you
can, please" he SAID, handing it to the
operator. "And here's my card"
The operator glanced at the bit Of
pasteboard and then looked curiously
at the boy. "Are you one of the Globe
men?" he asked.
II am tonight" Bert answered
promptly. II brought that message
across the lake."
The man uttered an ejaculation.
"Well, you newspaper fellows do beat
ALL"
Soon the message was speeding over
the wires, and to Bert the clicking of
the instrument was the sweetest sort
of music. He leaned on the sill of the
Office counter and eagerly listened until
the last word had been transmitted.
Then he suddenly realized that he had
to return that night, and that he should
be starting, for he would have to go
back by the longer way.
AS he reached the door of the room
the telegraph instrument again began
to click, and the operator sang out to
him: "Here! Hold on there, Globe;
they're sending message to you from
the city Office" And Bert halted in sur.
prise.
After minute the operator said:
''They say send 500 words on your trip
across the lake.

that?" asked Bert, in wonderment.
"It was in your account here at the
end,' explained the operator. "Don't

showing, but little whirlwinds of light,
powdery flakes now and then scurried
across his path.
ut first explain, Bert began to grow un-
easy. He strove in vain to drive the
fear from his mind. The ice looked no
thinner; there was no break in it; ap-
parently it was firm and capable of
bearing his weight. But somehow the
''feel" of it told him that he was in
danger. AS he swept forward he seemed
to he rising and falling with each long
stroke. He had been on such ice be-
fore. It bent under him in waves, and
he knew that if there had been more
light, by looking over his shoulder he
would have seen it undulating in long
swells, just like the water of the lake
on calm day.
The ice was too thin to bear his
weight If he stood still for an instant.
The skimming speed of his fight alone
kept him from crashing through it.
Would it grow thinner? Ifit did there
was little chance of his ever getting
safely to land. He was nearly in the
middle of the lake, and there, presum-
ebly, the ice was weakest. He knew
it was race for life.
Suddenly, back Of him, the painting
boy heard IN ominous crack. 1t did
not need glance behind to tell him
what had happened. The ice had
broken there, as it rose. released from
his weight. A chill struck through him;
but the fear merely made him increase
his efforts. He knew that he was 60
ing at tremendous rate, yet it seemed
as If the dangerous space would never
be passed.
But now, through the darkness, the
lights Of Pine Bluffs began to twinkle,
only a few miles away. Bert no longer
felt that terrifying rise and fall Of the
ice beneath him and slated with new
confidence. Tired though he was, his
speed did not slacken. He had reached
safety at last.
