Primitive Marriage.

Marriage in primitive times was no
family or personal arrangement, but an
institution of the community. If we
realize this. many hitherto unexplained
customs connected with it become at
once of significance. The members Of
primitive communities were bound to-
gether by common interests and duties;
every member of a clan was bound to
consider the rights of his fellow and to
assist him even to his own hurt. Aid
and succor were indispensable for com.
munal necessities, therefore the mar.
rage of a SOL or a daughter in every
small commonwealth was a matter for
public consideration. The first step that
led to matrimony in those remote times
was 10 capture a wife or to purchase a
wife. In this the whole tribe assisted,
and then Joined as of right in the fes-
tivities that gradually grew round the
marriage ceremony. In short, in those
days the individual was ignored and
had no existence ave as n of a group.
Surely we may consider that this led
to the necessity for the lord of the man
ors sanction to his tenants marriage in
feudal times, the lords of the manor in
the middle ages having appropriated to
themselves many of the rights of the
tribal authorities of primitive times. In
feudal times no girl could be married to
any one out of the manor without the
good will of the lord of the soil, and an
heiress could not be married at all with
out his consent. In some instances fines
had to be paid by the brides father, Oh
whoever stood to her in the place of q
father. for leave to give her in marriage
to a stranger Ledger.

The Toronto Saturday Night tells the
following story of Dean Vaughan. He
had been preparing some colored clergy
men for mission work and had invited
them to dine with him in the Temple.
On that day Mrs. Vaughan waited an
hour in the drawing room for her guests,
but none came. at last she mentioned
to the butler that it was odd that the
invited guests did not appear.

facture Make the Distinction.
Orlena l.. Sbackleford, in Centuries
Of Lace, " i'll The Wcman's Home Com
panion. gives these interesting facts on
lace manufacture:
1.-The nomenclature of laeo is decided
by certain peculiarities Of pattern, mesh
or stitches that belong to certain locali-
ties, and it Is retained even when the
localities have long ceased to produce
their distinctive fabrications. Valen-
ciennes has not for many years wrought
the laces that bear its name, their nan
nfacture having long since been trans
fcrrod TO Ypres, Belgium, while the
chantilly laces are all made at Bayeux.
1.-THE finest French laces are made in
Normandy, the cheaper ones come from
the AuYergne, which was the first
French province to produce pillow lace.
Bayeux, with her tributary surround
ings, is the largest and best producer of
black laces. Her ehantilly is par *
c~ellence the finest ever made. Caen is
also a center for black laces. Normandy
produces good black and white blends.
Guipures are made in the Auyergne, but
the finest come from the Vosges. Mire-
courtfurnishesf fine point and pillow lace.
Brussels furnishes most of the Belgian
needle points, though east Flanders,
Brabant and Hainault now supply large
quantities. The old laces for which
Binche, Bruges and Flanders were once
SO celebrated are no longer the mode,
though still much priced by c%onnois-
seurs. This is also true of malines, or
mechlin, lace and yalenciennes, though
the latter is returning to favor. Bruges
makes a round mesh valenciennes, not SO
beautiful as the lozenge ground, and
coarser qualities come from Courtrai
and different parts of Flanders. Lille
and Valenciennes formerly belonged to
the Netherlands, which accounts for
their early proficiency in lacemaking.
Flemish %guipures are noted for their
excellence. The Belgian and French
laces are the finest, in point of fabrica.

extent all emporium for Belgian laces.

came the duty of the Senator TO speak
TO his charge on some trivial matter and
this was the long-looked for opportun-
lily for the dude. He knew the Senator
slightly and therefore did not hesitate
about improving his acquaintance.

girl with you, Senator. If you do not

piled: That's my sisters maid. She
is going to New York to meet some of
