riages left Craig-y- Nos. everything was
joyous and well ordered, and it seemed
that the diva was moving along pro-
pltlously to a successful marriage but
at the point where it was necessary to
sign the register in the sacristy, trou-
! bic and excitement arose. Patti had
put her special marriage permit away
| in desk at the castle twenty miles
away, and had forgotten to bring it,
| She promised to send the document af-
ter the honeymoon, but the priest was
uncompromiSing and insisted that no
marriage was legal until the register
was signed, and that he could not per-
init the signing of the register until
the certificate of special permission
had been presented to him. Then Pat
ii besought and prayed; he was solemn,
obdurate. She called attention to the
delay in the honeymoon plans; he de-
clined to bulge. She burst into tears
At this juncture Lady Faudel-Phil-
lips, who was with the bridal party,
tried her hand whit the priest. Instead
of arguing, she fattered him, and so
won his heart that he finally consented
and, smiling through her tears, Patti
started with her husband on their
honeymoon.
PATHS wedding dress was of palest
dove-colored satin embroidered in fine
steel, with chiffon and ribbons galore
On the right side of the belt there was
spray of mauve orchids Although
the bride who wore this frock is fifty
two years old, everybody remarked how
young and fresh she looked. No mai
den led to the altar in her teens could
have been more radiant. The baron,
who is said to be about thirty, has u
frank. manly hearing
They had their wedding breakfast on
the train to London, and a great break
fast it was. Everything except the
cake, which was made in London, came
from PATHS own kitchen at Craigy-
Nos. Patti presided at the table, with
her husband on her right and Sir Fau-
del Phillips at her left The menus
were embellished with three larky lit
tie cupids variously and frivolously en-
gagged. The list of viands was devoid
of ornamentation, but a golden cupid,
glass in hand, stood over the wines, a
bit unsteady from the number of bum
pers he had drank. Several of the
guests made bright little speeches. The
newly married couple stayed over a
day or two In Paris to see some old
friends, and then proceeded to Italy.
Who does not wish them happiness?
The Millinery Trade Review grows
excited over its assertions that millin-
ers have no desire to interfere with the
Audubon Society," or Senator Hoar in
their endeaVorS to protect the native
song birds; that, on the contrary, they
stand ready to aid congress, state leg
islatures and humanitarians in their
protection; that no native song birds
Of ,f,.ia
used for the purposes of millinery orna-
mentation, and that practically every
thing in the way of feathers now used
in millinery is the plumage of the con-
dor, eagle, pigeon, turkey, cock, quail,
grouse, snipe; partridge, pheasant, and
other old things that are killed in their
season for edible purposes and their
feathers are then dyed, mounted or
made into the bird plumage that at
tracts the eye of the Audubons and
upon which Uncle Sam reaps a duty of
80 per cent.
There is reason to believe that the
list of birds that are annually slaugh-
tered to deck the American woman in
cludes a great many varieties not emu
merated by the Review The aigret
and the graceful plumage of the Bird
of Paradise are token that the feath-
ers are not all taken from uuails and
condors. and the fact that the birds
from which these charming ornaments
are obtained are not song birds, is no
reason why the world can afford to see
them eXterminated, or why they should
not be entitled to a reasonable amount
of protection.
senator Hoar's bill is designed to pre-
vent the Importation into the United
states of birds feathers, or parts of
birds for ornamental purposes or the
transportation through, the country, or
the keeping or offering for sale of such
birds, feathers. or parts of birds for or
namental purposes under penalty of
500 hne; 1t would also, according to
the millinery men, initiate against the
frugality of the farmers wives the
chefs of hotels and the poultry dealers
throughout the land, as well as thou
SANDS OF persons who are engaged in
the manufacture of fancy feathers. Just
why the Millinery Trade Review should
trouble itself about farmers wives and
poultry dealers unless milIiners them
selves have an axe to grind, does not
appear. 1t is not at all likely that the
birds will be over-protected by any bill
that Senator Hoar or any other person
Is likely to get passed and the farm
ers' wives and poulterers are able to de-
fend themselves.
