In Baltimore the other day where the
bride led her pet fox terrier, Jack, with
one hand, while the other rested on the
arm OF her father as the bridal process
sion marched to where the clergyman
was waiting. The dog, wearing
wreath of white chrysanthemumS
around his neck fastened by a white
satin ribbon, remained beside his mis-
tress throughout the affair and when
the newly married couple reached the
carriage which was to take them TO

met Gebhard that Miss Lulu Morris
played the part of what society was
pleased to term the 'nymph of the

at an occasional club supper. Near
the celebrated group of Barge bronzes
on Mount Vernon square, Baltimore, is
small spray fountain surrounded by
n stone basin containing water TO
depth of two feet. At that time Lulu
Morris. some of the Robinson girls,
with a few clubmen. made up thearer
parties. which ended in Il supper at
some restaurant. The way homeward

she avoided any i'll consequences ex-

was nearly mid-winter.
But she got the whip.

of the men I'm bet You are afraid
The girl, holding her paraSoi over
her head with one hand and holding
back her skirts with the other coolly
