formed by the Rev. e. P. Ryland, an init
mate friend as well as the pastor of both

roy left after the ceremony on q short
wedding trip. They will live at Indepen-
dence. A large number OF handsome

came from friends in Lexington, Mo-.
where Mr.. McElroy lived prior to his

An exchange gets off this: "There are
women who are comely, there are women
who are homely, but be careful how the
latter thing you say. There are women
who are wealthy, there are women who
are healthy, there are women who will
always nave their way. There are women
who are truthful, there are women who
are youthful-was there ever any woman
who was old? There are women who are
sainted, there are women who are painted,
there are women who are worth their
weight in gold. There are women who
are slender, there are women who are
tender, there are women who are very
large and fat and red. There are women
who have married, there are women who
nave tarried, there are women who are
talkless-but they are dead"
While other cities are wrestling with
the theater hat problem, resulting in the
passage of ~rdinanc against the nuis-
ance, besides causing the managers OF
opera houses and their patrons considera-
bic annoyance, the lady patrons of the
New Grand settle this matter in their
usual sensible manner With very few
exceptions, the ladies remove their hats
at the commencement of a performance,
to the intense satisfaction and relief OF
any person who may have been hidden in
ambush, as It were, behind one OF these
great productions of feminine architec-
ture. The ladies are to be commended for
their fine taste and consideration in this
matter, and we are sure they have earned
the heartfelt thanks and lasting gratitude
of every gentleman who patronizes the
opera house.
