LUCK OF A BRIDESMAID.
She Caught the Brides Bouquet and
Thereby Discovered Profitable
OccuDatiOn
4l2, 4jA WABASHk.

Under ordinary circumstances, painting
flowers in water eolors isn't a source Of
immense profit Nevertheless, there is a girl
in Boston who is reaping a rich harvest from
1t. 1t all began in this way. The young
wedding Of a wealthy friend. and was the
lucky one who caught the brides bouquet
when it was thrown to the maids. The idea
occurred to her that it would be a graceful
thing TO make a sketch of the bouquet and
give 1t to the bride; and being clever with
her brush and having keen sense of artistic
possibilities. she succeeded in combining
=. the rather stiff bouquet, a fan, a polished
table, and a shimmering pale green scarf
anto delicious bit of color and sentiment
Inc bride was in ecstaSies. So were her
friends. Soon one Of the bridesmaids needed
bridesmaids OF her own. 1t wasn't the artist,
IN spite Of her luck in catching the bouquet
This bride refused to be happy unless she, too,
could have sketch of her bridal bouquet
The artist charged a good price this time,
and, to her surprise, found herself the orig
1nator OF social fad. She became as much a
part or a swell wedding as the caterer florist
or bridegroom. Being gifted with a share of
the wisdom OF the serpent, she saw that the
Ihlng was too good to last, and that the op-
portunicy must be improved while it did last
so she boldly put her prices up to most ex-
traNagant figure. That only set the seal upon
her popularity, and made her still more neces-
Sary to a wedding. She momentarily expects
the frost TO strike her. but. meanwhile she
gathers her harvest Of shekels and sings
hymns Of praise to the ancient and honorable
institution Of matrimony.

There has been great deal said about cob
web wells, but it is term that was in no
way descriptive except as comparatively with
the heavy net wells The newest veil Is In
reality cobweb veil. with all the irregu-
larity and variety Of angular joints of a
cobweb. and in the center or thereabouts Of
each web is a chenille spider with long point
ed legs. The effect at little distance is of
stars, but a closer inspection shows the mesh
doubt that the spiders web and the spiders
are all there waiting for the traditional fly.
About the borders are figures of the same
shape as the spiders, but without the chem

PopIin for Bridal Gowns.

A new material for bridal gowns has come
in and it is greatly used. 1t is Irish poplin
There many who can remember when an
Irish popin dress was the most fashionable
thing bride could have. But Irish popln
went out when satin became cheap. 1t has
now come in of particularly fine texture
and satiny sheen that makes it the ideal
cloth. 1t is unfortunately not very cheap
but what does bride care for expense when
she is purchasing her wedding dress-that is
If she can get the money?

TO Clean White straw Hats.

Make a paste of pounded sulphur and cod
water, Wct the hat or bonnet and cover it
with the paste until you. do not see the straw;
rub hard; hang the hat up TO dry; when dry
brush the sulphur off with a brush till the
straw gets beautifully white. This method
is easier than the sulphur bleaching box and
can be done very quickly.

Ohio.s Fishlnp SERPENT.

While duck hunting on the shores of
Lake Erie, near Toledo, last week, Will
liam Harriet saw a remarkable snake.
1t was about twenty-five feet long, dark
brown on the back. gray on the sides
and the belly was nearly white. When
1t was coiled up, Mr.. Harriet says, 1t
would fill an ordinary dray. The rep
tile had two ridges just back of the
head. The ridges were as elastic as
rubber and appeared to be pouch In
which the snake stored the products OF
its catch in the lake. Mr.. Harriet saw
the snake extract a white perch from
the pouch on the right side and eat it.,
after which it took to the lake and
swan of. Many large snakes have
been previously seen in that part OF
the lake, but none as large as the one
seen by Mr.. Harriet.

Then he sat down on boWlder that

he would not get up. Nobody but

animal and he only grows more sullen;
