Perhaps the most striking trait OF the
American woman is her individuality
And in manners OF fashion this trait is
as striking as elsewhere. although bit
more dangerous. For individuality pre-
supposes originality. and this latter
faculty is an edged tool liable to wound
uns ilful handlers. But when combined
with artistic taste and that indeecribable
something We call style. it produces a
combination that is simply irresis& ble,
and that has wrung from sister nations
the confession that the American is the
best dressed woman in the world.
So. while earnestly counselling each

deficiency. The general adoption Of
this course would save US from those IN

seems to have gotten into a gown which

Scadden-Vivan.

A very quiet and rather elegant pri-
vate wedding took place on last Satur-
day forenoon, in the parlors of DR.. j.
II. Vivian, of this city, the occasion be-
ing the marriage of his niece, Miss
Ethel Vivian to Mr.. Frank Scadden, OF
Crystal Falls, Michigan. An extempor-
lied altar was formed in the bay
window of the large parlor by lace cur
tains, figured with smilax, roses, car
nations, and in fact all varieties of
flowers Milwaukee florists could fur
nish.
The company was composed of the
immediate friends and acquaintances
of the bride. The room was profusely
decorated with flowers -hyacinths, car
nations, roses, etc.
AT ii o'clock the officiating clergy
man, Rev. NJ. Chase, rector OF Trinity
church, took his place at the alter.
Soon afterwards the bridegroom, accom-
panied by his best man, Mr.. i. MeGee,
of Crystal Falls, took his proper place
with the bridesmaid, Mrs. L. G. Ludden.
Next the bride, leaning upon the arm
of her uncle, DR.. Vivian, entered by
the north door of the parlor, preceded
by the juvenile ushers, Masters Neal
and John Vivian (sons of DR.. and Mrs.
5. Viyian) and the twin sons of Mr. and
Mrs. T. c. Ludden, The marriage was
then solemnized according to the ritual
of the Episcopal church, Or. Vivian
acting as father in giving away the
bride. One of the most interesting
parts of the ceremony was the action
of the Juvenile ushers. The twins boys
dressed alike could not be distinguished
one from the other, and their bearing
and actions indicated that they es-
teemed their part not the least of the
proceedings. After congratulations of
friends suitable wedding breakfast
was served. The happy couple left on
the afternoon train for Milwaukee, en-.
route for Chicago, there to join the
Marquette club (of which Mr.. Scadden
is member) and accompany the club
to Washington to witness the inaugu-
ration ceremonies.
The bride made many friends dur
ing her visits in this city at the home
of her honored uncle, DR.. Vivian. Mr..
Scadden is prominent citizen of Crys-
tai Falls and manager of two iron
mines in Michigan, where he has ac-
quired al ample competence. He
emphatically self made man.

highest praise. Extracts from press

The lecture in course, on Tuesday
evening, at the city hall, was by Rev.
w. A. Colledge. The subject was
"Second Fiddles." The theme sug-
gests the line of talk, as in the orches-
ira Of life, there is the first and the sec
ond violin. And so, the talk was about
the possibilities of life. it had some
very excellent advice for young men
and women. The subject matter has
been treated SO many times that the
wonder is that he made it so attract
i've and instructive. This explains the
fact that while some were dlsappoint-
ed in not hearing about his African
travels, Others were pleased to hear
what he said about the possibilities Of
life. The lecturers delivery was far
above the average, He is Congrega-
