COST OF SWELL WEDDINGS.
Large Amounts Expended On These
Occasions.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

cleveland Plain Dealer)
An eastern society woman, who is
unusually clever at figures, has been
considering the cost of smart weddings
and, after adding one expense with an
other, has reached a staggering total
figure. Her investigation took into ac..
count only what might be regarded as
the average swell function of this sort,
and she finds that $4,000 is about what
must be considered as the necessary
amount. OF course. affairs such as the
Marlborough wedding represent per-
haps ten times that amount. These,
however, are exceptional cases, al
though they also go to show the posi-
bilities of expenditure in this direction.
In ordinary small weddings, the outlay
can hardly be kept inside of five fig-
ures. First, the bride must have All

depends upon the quality Of the ma
terial, the kind of lace, and the stand
ing Of the coutouriere. Few gowns OF
fashionable brides cost less than 5000.
Cut this price in half and you have
$3.50. Then there must be a going
away costume and half a dozen 9TH
ers, not to mention such articles as
hats, gloves, shoes, etc. 1t Is safe TO
assume that what the average bride
wears will cost papa $1,000. Then con-
sider the gifts which the rich girl re-
ceives from relatives and friends. Some
times a wealthy uncle or aunt gives
her an exquisite bit of jewelry that will
be worth from $1,000 to $4,000; mother
always does the same, and perhaps
father buys the couple a house for
1000 or 100000 Here we have Some
thing like $4,000 more, exclusive of the
hundreds of other presents outside Of
the family. They may mean anywhere
from 1000 to $4,000.
Now consider the cost of the break
fast or reception. of the decoration Of
the church and the house, gifts to the
maid of honor and bridesmaids. q
luncheon to them, etc. These items
may be regarded as incidentals. as they
really are the least expensive features
of weddings as a rule. An average Of
81. 600 is quite small. Unless the groom
gives the wedding-that sometimes &C
ours, when the brides family has very
little of the worlds goods-hiS end OF
the expense is considerably smaller
His gifts to the bride. usher, etc, his
outfit and his fees to the clergymen,
ETC., and his expenditure in travelling
will certainly average $1,000. Even IL
the home is bought by the brides fam
lily, it is safe to assume that he viii
expend at least $1,000 in furnishing it.
! Probably he might buy the home, but
this will not be assumed in the estt-
mate. Incidental expenses will prob
ably be $500 more. So here is an aver.
age that might be given;

THE JUDGMENT
Rev. David Walk at the Church Of
Christ

David Walk, in the Church of Christ.
Eighth street, near Central avenue, read
Matt. 35:31-46 inclusive, and announced as
the subject of his sermon "The Judg-
ment." The Bible teaches nothing more
fully and with greater definiteness and dis
tinctness than that of final judgment;
and of all the teachers of this solemn
doctrine Jesus Christ is chiefest, both as
to the doctrine and the fact. God has ap-
pointed day in which He will judge the
world in Righteousness by the Man whom
He has ordained for that purpose; whereof
He has given assurance unto all men in
that He hath raised Him from the dead.
Not more certainly did Jesus Christ rise
from the dead than that He will come III
judgment. God has given all judgment to
the Son and has constituted Him the Judge
of the living and the dead.

virgins is watchfulness, that of the talents

little given. LIE US turn from the picture
of the days that are gone to catch vision
of the days that are to be, and in the same
devotion with which our fathers offered up
their broken bodies to save a nation, let
us offer ourselves as a-living sacrifice to per-
feet the nation.
II believe with all my soul that America
holds the key to the worlds future, but
she holds it in the form of opportunity
not guaranty. If she reaches the fullness
of her possibilities, she must translate her
conceit in her own power into convic-
ton Of divine destiny, and give herself with
holy devotion to national righteousness.
For the first time in the history Of the
world, the greatest race occupies the great
est home; the people possessed of the
highest ideals have room enough to de-
velop and ability commensurate with their
opportunity.
1.-The strength Of America is not that she
has reached the highest point of Anglo
Saxon possibility, SO that in literature and
art she leads the mother country, as the
mother country leads the world. but that
this race has the opportunity to build up
continuous empire on Anglo-Saxon prin-
ciples. America has built up principle of
self-government, and now it must build a
principle of national ethics, that nations
must be righteous as we'll as mighty.
1.-THE problems Of our nation are new and
manifold. There is demand for patriot
ism that includes in times of peace that
stalwart love for the principles for which
our country stands. There comes rarely in
the life of any man the time when he is
called to die for his country, but day by
day comes the demand to live for her. The
