IL Is almost needless to say that thous-
ands of dollars are now being spent on
Miss Duer's trousseau. 1t will be remem-
bered that she is to marry the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John W. Mackay, of this
| city, on May IA, says a Paris letter In the
Cincinnati Enquirer
She has given her daughter-in-law-to-b be
almost her entire casket of family jewels
| ana she begged at once for the privilege
OF providing the wedding veil and gowns,
the latter part of which request was &C
cepted by the bride.
The Mackays are Roman Catholics, and
as Miss puer is a Protestant the wedding
therefore is to be a combination of the
two religions. each making concessions to
the other.
| One of the lovelIest of the brides con-
| cessions is In the form of a gorgeous
white velvet prayer book, which she will
carryto the altar in the devotional style
! OF her husbands religion. In the we'd
ulnSs OF his church the sacred or devotion
al part is made prominent, perhaps more
SO than i'm the Protestant Church, and
! therefore the young bride will carry
! large prayer book trimmed with ribbon
| ana MOVERS. From one end of the PRAYER
book VIII hang a long white satin ribbon.
| TO which will be attached a bunch of lilies
|
a bouquet.
One of her miniature bracelets will be
the gift of a number of young friends,
4 each OF them a millionairess in her own
/ right. 1t will consist of miniatures-the
work of Kussner and other high-priced
miniature artists. Each miniature will be
surrounded by tiny diamonds, and all will
be connected with links of gold. Another
bracelet VIII consist of a large diamond
butterfly poised upon a band of FURNISH
ed gold. This can be worn for an amulet
upon the outside of a ballroom sleeve
Both Of. these bracelets have an inner
slide by which they can be enlarged to
form dog collar or a tight band for the
neck. When the butterfly bracelet opens
the band Of dull gold is enlarged by the
sliding press. III the miniature bracelet
small springs are attached, by which the
miniature fly apart and leave a band of
gold between.
We all know that our feet spread and
take It as a matter of course, but II seems
that after all there is no necessity for
their doing SO. They spread because we
do not know how TO rest them properly.
The feet do not grow, but by resting them
in the wrong way the muscles have been
permitted to take a wrong direction, and
the foot flattens. When a woman finds
that the instep of the foot is tired she

and put on slippers with a totally differ
ent heel from that of the shoes she took
off, either higher or lower as the case may
be. Bhen she should lie down, turn upon
her face and place a pillow under the in
steps of both feet, so that every inch of
the breadth of her feet should rest upon
the pillow. When this is done the foot is
at ease. The muscles rest and strengthen
and the beautiful arch of the instep Is
preserved.
Every now and then I am forcibly re-
minded of the fact that the millennium
will have arrived when we learn to mind
our own business. Says Dorothy Dix in
the New Orleans Picayune.
But it will be an Eveless Eden without a
single woman ia it.
No woman has yet arrived, or shows
signs of arriving, at the point of grace
when she can behold another person MAX
ing pie, without putting her finger in it.
1t has always been that way. And 1t has
always been her bane. She has broken
her heart over other peoples sorrows. She
has lain awake nights and lost sleep over
other peoples worries. She has brought
more nervous prostration trying to
run other peoples affairs, and stirred uE
more heartburnings and jealousy and bit
ternesS and strife than all other causes
combined, just because she would not mind
her own business.
1t is a distinctly feminine mania, the
end whereof is trouble and tribuation The
average man feels that he has got about
all he can manage with his own affairs
and trouble enough of his own, without
, borrowing his neighbors. The average wo
, man attends to her business in the inter-
walls she isn't specializing about why the
Browns don't send their children to the
public school when Brown is only on a
| salary and the Smiths across the street
can afford new carpets this season. And
the queerest part of it all is that by some
quirlx of feminine logic this unwarranted
meddling with other peoples affairs is ac-
counted a virtue. A woman's definition oil
another woman who was selfish creature
would be one who attended strictly to heI
own business and didn't interfere with
some remedy of her own when the chill
dren next door had the Group
This inability to attend to her own bus
mess, and leave other people to run theirs
without any assistance from her. goes a
long way towards explaining many of wo-
mans failures, 1t is one reason why sc
many women break down. They try tc
carry the universe on their shoulders They
could manage well enough with their own
work, and bear with sufficient fortitude
> their own troubles. but when they add to
that the accumulated Affections of every
body in the neighborhood they collapse
under the nervous strain. 1t is doubtless
a pity that Mrs. Jones should be such a
poor manager, and so wasteful and extrav-
agant; it is much to be regretted that
young Blank does go to work and support
his widowed mother. possibly it is a crying
shame that the Gray baby should be fec
on saurkraut and beer instead of sterilized
milk, but, after all, we are not responsible
for these affairs, and there isn't a blessed
! thing we can do about them. The Jones
and the Blanks, and the Grays of our re-
spective neighborhoods don't want our ad.

we merely wear ourselves into frazzles
with unavailing worry over something
that doesn't in the least concern us.

ing right up. but it is well to occasionally
= reflect that other people are almost as ca
pable of running their own affairs as we
would be. This is always a surprise &c
us. There was probably never a mar
rage when everybody in the community
didn't feel that they could have made a
much more judicious selection for both
