Deafness

of the ear. There IS only way to cure
deafness, and that IS by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous LINING

tube is inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when It
Is entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed

Good Form
At Weddings.

Weddings, the ultra fashionable
ones, now take place in the morning
that is, some hour before 3 o'clock.
The wedding of Miss Virginia Fair and
Mr. w. X. Vanderbilt, Jr.. as well as
that of Mr. Vanderbilt's cousin, Miss
Lila Sloane, was celebrated at high
noon"
Cards of invitation for a wedding are
sent out three or four weeks before
hand The cards are printed in silver
or the ordinary black lettering, a
space being left for the name of the
guest to whom the card is to be sent.
The invitation should be acknowledged
at once. Out of courtesy not more than
two or three days should elapse after
its receipt.
In these days almost every one re-
ceiving wedding invitation responds
with a present of some sort, it's value,
of course, depending on the financial
condition of the givers and the degree
Of acquaintance existing between them
and either bride or bridegroom or their
families. The surest evidence of i'll
breeding on the part of bride is a
failure to politely acknowledge each
gift, no matter how insignificant. The
presents are spread out for inspection
at the brides home in the drawing
room or in an adjoining room. All
gifts, even those from friends of the
bridegroom who are personally unac-
quainted with the lady, are sent to her.
The bridal gown is usually plain
white silk CT satin, made with long
train, which may be trimmed with real
lace if the bride possesses it. A small
spray of orange blossoms should orna-
ment the bodice and tiny sprig of the
same may be worn in the hair. A large
tulle Or real lace veil is worn right over

| Somebody with a grudge against the IN

! ing maI.en-writes me as follows:
"Dear~,Madam: When will you COM
mence a series of lectures concerning the
| Use and Abuse of the Bachelor especial
| ly the artistic abuse of the bachelor syco-
plant, which may result in the elm nation
! of the species?"
| 1t would be an irreparab.e less to eami-
| nate the bachelor from society He is al
| ways useful and often ornamental
] When the charming widow or the at
| tractive belle is visiting. her hostess de-
ponds upon the bachelor to render the din
ner or the theater party a success.
| College boys do very we'll at dancing
parties and widowers at whist, but no
dinner party or in the theater box. He
| is of greater value than the table dacora-
tions or the opera glasses.
A single man is always an object of IN
terest to an unmarried woman. If he has
| a reputation for being wholly invulner-
able to womans charms she is all the
more pleased with him. If he is called a
dangerous lirt she is fascinated with the
! thought of subjecting herself to his hyp-
| motto spell.
| If he Is merely fashionable beau she
| likes to d.sport him as she would mod
| ish wrap.
| If he is desirable catch, she likes to
| bait her hook and try her powers.
| In fact there is scarcely any phase of
| the bachelor which has rot its interest
| for unmarried women.
| Next to the doctor and the pastor, he
| is a great convenience and comfort as a
| listener to the married woman who feels
| she IS mot understood by her husband
| Not the married f1irt who tries to fasci-
nate him and lead him into loving her,
| but the good hearted if somewhat weak
! headed wife, who likes TO conide her lit
| tie woes and sorrows to some sympathetic
| ear, and to be told that she is the very
best little wife in the world, and, by Jove,
| he's going to give Charlie a piece of his
| mind for not being more appreciative.
OF course, this sort of friendship treads
| on dangerous ground. But it sometimes
| escapes going beyond the danger line and
| results in nothing more than source of
! so,ace to an oversens.tive mind.
Just how the bachelor behaves himself
| in other mems homes depends a,most en-
! tirely upon the other mems wives and
daughters.
He usually follows their lead
/ would no more abolish tho bachelor
than l would the umbrella because it
sometimes breaks in a gale, or a bicycle
because it sometimes leads to accidents.
All three depend greatly on how they are
handled.
Tax the bachelor to help support home
less women, but Go not suppress him.

u Tho drawing room end receive ~
good wishes and congratulations q
their friends as they arrive.
No one congratulates the bride, con-
gratulations being for the bridegroom,
while to the bride you express the hope
that she will be very happy, etc.
When all the guests have arrived. the
bride and bridegroom lead the way to
the refreshment room, where, how
ever, no little formality is observed.
Speeches are seldom made, but the
health of the bride and bridegroom is,
of course, drunk, and then as soon as
the bride has cut the cake a slice Is
placed on plate, cut into finger-like
pieces by one OF the servants and
handed round to the guests.
Rice and slippers are still thrown
after the happy pair, but great care
should be taken to avoid accident with
either. The confetti paper is prettier
and now much used in place of rice at
weddings.

ARE WOMEN GROWING TALLER
AND STRONGER?
AN AGED cYcLIsT.

II is claimed that women IN England
and America are growing taller than
their mothers. The physical develop
ment exercises which girls go in for SO
much nowadays are bound to produce
these results.
Miss Catherine Duer, who married
Clarence Mackay last spring, was
young Juno who overtopped her hus-
band by an inch or two. Mrs, George
Vanderbilt, another Juno bride, is taller
than her husband The young duchess
of Marlborough, by the way, had the
better of the duke by inches as well
as in millions. And now another Eng
lishman, Harold Barring, who has mar
ried Miss Marie Churchill, will also
look up to his wife in more ways than
one. So it has gone until people are
beginning to raise their eyebrows ana
wonder where this inverse proportion
is to end.
