TIPS for Bridesmaids.

Each bridesmaid should present a
gift just as other invited guests do,
the gifts to be sent a few days before
the wedding. A little friendly and
informal note should accompany the
gift.
The maids precede the bride to the
church and wait for her at the door,
standing in two lines facing each other.
When the bride arrives with father,
brother, or whoever is to "give her
away" she passes through the aisle
formed by her attendants, who form a
procession behind her. The chief maid
stands nearest the bride, who hands
her her gloves and bouquet to hold be-
fore the part Of the service is reached
where the ring is slipped on her finger.
The best man and maid accompany the
bridal pair to the vestry to witness the
signing of their names, but the rest OF
the attendants wait outside. After the
ceremony the maids follow the bride
as upon entering the church.
Bouquets are sent the maids by the
groom, who also the day before the
wedding sends them some small ar
ticle Of jewelry.
The maids, Of course, return to the
home of the bride to the breakfast OF
reception that follows the ceremony
at the church, and when the bride goes
to exchange her white robes for a trav-
cling gown the chief maid accompanies
to assist her.
However amiable bride may be, she
certainly prefers to have the foolish
rio
shoes after her overlooked. 1t is the
privilege of the best man or maid to
throw an old slipper, but the balance
of the attendants may refrain from
the showing of good wishes in this
way, I am certain, without fear OF Of
tending the bride.

lessness that make woman beauti-
full? And, too, did you ever notice that
It is more trouble to accomplish these
touches Of negligence than it is to OBJ
tain the regular, formal effects?
When you see a little curl nesting
lovingly about the forehead and around
the neck, and little ruf1e bobbing up
irregularly in some unexpected place,
you may rest assured that at least an
hour of valuable time had been devoted
to it.
Here is a dream in midsummer morn
ing gowns. 1t is developed in pale
blue nuns yelling covered with black
polka dots. The gown is modification
Of the princess and an Improvement
on the tea gown. There is a vest Of
striped silk which widens into a panel
effect as it nears the foot. The front is
a rounded one and is trimmed with a
frill of pale blue embroidered silk lined
with striped silk. A wide Vatican
plat caught with bow and ends of
black ribbon constitute the decoration
upon the back of the gown. The sleeves
are shirred and trimmed with puffs and
bands of insertion.

and, although London no longer slav-
ish1y accepts what Paris proposes In
the matter of dress, a run on the pol
onaise is expected here. Anyone who
studies the subject Of dress soon dis
covers that what on the first seemed to
be a reckless revival is generally a log
ical evolution Of some favorite style
Of the moment. When the shaped
flounce came in, the revival Of the
"tablier," "tunic," or "draped over
skirt" as it used to be called some ten
years ago, was predicted. And the
draped or separate overskirt cannot
come in without bringing in the pol
onaise, which is merely it's princess"
form-that is, the overskirt cut in one
with the bodice instead of being sep
arated at the waist. The overskirt
helped the evolution of the polonaise,
which is always most in favor when
fashion DEGREES a certain tightness
above and a certain flow below in d.
rect contrast. The eel skirt accen-
tuated this and will accentuate it still
more if the excessively tight samples,
skin tight above and very feecy and
flowing below the knees, which now
prevails in Taris and on the smarter
London stages, ever spread to the ma
jority.

A London journal tells this Monte
Carlo story:
"a woman entered the sale while a
prince whom she knew was winning
in a sweeping style that seemed destin-
ed to break the bank. L am so glad to
see you here, Prince. and in such luck,
tool she exclaimed. DO tell me a
lucky number; it is sure to win, for
you are in the VEIN The prince gen.
erously placed a pile of gold louis be-
fore the vivacious lady, whose beauty
had successfully defied the effects Of
thirty-six winters, and said: Put it all
on the number of your years and reap
a golden harvest The lady reflected,
hesftated, and then placed the pile on
twenty An instant later the
erouper sang out, 'Thirty-six red
wins!' The lady muttered, 'Ah, mon
dieu; thirty-six is exactly my age and
tainted on the spot"
No doubt this is offered as a direful
warning to other women, but, never
theless, in spite Of the lost fortune,
still contend that a woman may keep
to herself just as long as she pleases
Just how many sunny summers and
frosty winters have passed over her
head. Now, think the prince at Mon
te Carlo was very ungallant

What Dicky Heard

A little boy and little bug. The
boy was Dicky. The bug was little
Mistress Tumblebug, and she was slow
ly and carefully crawling up a sloping
mound of earth, carrying home a bite
of something good for her babies
breakfast. But every time she reached
the top of the little mound of earth.
Dicky would tip her over on her back.
when she would roll helplessly down
to the bottom again, while Dicky
shouted with laughter. 1t was such
fun-so Dicky thought.
The little bug was a courageous and
persevering little creature, however.
No sooner would she land all in a heap
at the bottom than another brave eff
fort to reach the top would be begun.
She would wiggle slowly over to her
feet and begin to crawl up again, only
to be tipped over on reaching the top
and to roll down the little hill again.
Dicky laughed till the tears stood in
his eyes-the little tumblebug did look
so funny rolling heels over head down
hil! The little bug did not laugh, al
though am not sure bot thst the tears
were in her eyes.
She was crawling bravely up the hill

Where Wolves Garry or Human P,

Where Wolves Garry Of Human Prey.
News has been received in Lucknow
of the depredations Of a pack of wolves
in a village few miles out Among
other acts, one Of them carried off a
little baby, but on being chased the
beast dropred the infant, which, unfor-
tunately, died. A party of sahibs ar
rived with their guns, and when they
heard of what had happened they sug-
gested that the child should be left
where it lay in hopes that its destroy
er might return and be awarded just
penalty for his misdeed. The parents,
who were bitterly grieved and anx-
ious for revenge on the vulpine beast,
consented to the arrangement, and the
sahibs sat up over the novel kill. "
The wolf actually did return, and a
well-aimed shot hurried him off to that
bourne from which no wolf returns.

Happy Morning.

Happy Morning.
o green leaves, soft and pearly,
All covered with shining dew,
I'm up this morning early,
I'm up to look at you!
o birds in the tree-tops calling,
Are you happy now, like me!
o river, swiftly falling,
Do you hurry away to the sea?
o bee on the big red clover,
Are you getting breakfast tnere
o white clouds floating over,
Is it nice in the high, clear air?
l love you, grass all pearly,
And 1 love you, sky so blue;
I'm glad to be up so early,
I'm glad to look at you!

The Poets.

The poets-the poets
Those giants of the earth;
In mighty strength they tower above
The men of common birth
A noble race-they minsle not
Among the motley throng,
But move, with slow and measured steps
To musfc-noteS along.
The poetS-the poets
What conQuests they can boast!
Without drop of Iife-blood split,
They rule a worlds wide host;
Their stainless banner floats unframed
From age to heightened age;
And history records their deeds
Upon her proudest page.
The poets-the poets
How endless is their fame!
Death, like a thin mist. comes. yet leaves
No shadow each name:
But yon starry gems that CLEAN
In evenings crystal sky,
So have they won in memorys depths,
An immortality.
The poets-the poets
Who doth not linger DER
The glorious volumes that contain
Their bright and spotless lore?
They charm in the saddest hours.
Our richest joys they feed;
And love for them has grown to be
A universal creed.
The poets-the poets
Those kingly Ministries dead,
Well may we Irvine a votive wreath
Around each honored head;
No tribute is too high to give
Those crowned ones among men.
The poets! the true poets!
Thanks be to God for them!

The Road to Wealth.

I'm my opinion the secret of money
making depends chiefly upon five
things: Push, 'squareness,' clearhead-
edness, economy and rigid adherence
to the rule of not overworking. Too
much work is worse than no work at
all. 1t undermines the constitution
and units a man mentally ana physic-
ally for the battle of Life Ten hours
a day of steady work is as much as amy
man-no matter how robust-ought to
attempt In addition to these avoid
being too grasping; better make a
small profit by sure means than at
tempt to make a larger one by uncer-
tain and risky measures. "-Andrew
Carnegie in London Mail.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-08-05

for the eleventh time, when Dicky
heard a whistle close behind him, and
turned about in terror to find big Ben
Walden reaching for the long, silky
curls that clustered under Dicky's plaid
tam-o' -shanter.
Ben was the horror of Dicks life just
now, for he had way of reaching for
those silky curls, taking out his knife,
sharpening it carefully on his boot,
when he would pretend to cut the curls
off, one by one, counting them carefully
as he pretended to lay them down upon
the ground behind Dicky.
1t was all so real that the little boy
would tremble all over and cry as
though his heart would break. But
Ben would laugh, and snatching of
Dicky's cap, that was the joy OF his
heart, would propose to rub it in the
dirt, or to cut the top out with his
knife.
He finished his "fun*-as he called
it-this morning by standing Dicky on
his head in the dirt, then went OFF
laughing, with Dicky screaming after
him through his sobs: Its mean,
mean, mean, for a great big fellow to
plague little fellow sol"
Then Dicky rubbed the tears out of
hts eyes, brushed the dirt off his
clothes, and finished just in time to
find the little tumblebug t>iumphantly
reaching the top of the little mound of
earth.
Dicky put his finger out quick to tip
her over again-but what do you sup
pose he thought he heard? cts mean,
mean, mean for a great big fellow to
plague a little fellow sol" Do you
suppose it was the squeaky-voiced lit
tie tumblebug that said it. or some
thing inside Of Dicky that begins with
a con?
Whichever it was, Dicky drew his
hand back, stood still minute, then
walked away with a very thoughtful
look on the little face under the tam
o'-shanter.-Webb Donnell.

A Just Criticism.

A woman with a heart big enough
to include all humanity and who pours
many a cup of loving service, last
week wrote me a letter, because SHE
was grieved at the attitude Of the
churches toward struggling musicians
and others to whom the fates have
not been kind: Every Christian
church is closed to any poor soul try
ing to get pupils and a place for them
to practice, and while we send mis-
siouaries by the score to help out and
assist the heather, We build a wall,
and high one, between churches and
the poor, and allow only those to en-
ter who worship one day in seven, six
days letting the organ stand idle and
useless. Oh, how I wish that 1 had
the means to build and equip a music
room or rooms and put organs and
pianos in and bid any responsible,
worthy person go and use to their own
ge!"-Toledo Journal.

What Jollykins Discovered.

- mere are you going, OuCie oohn.
.aiG Jolly kins, as his mother called this
round-faced, happy little fellow who
had come from the city to spend week
a. his Uncle Johns farm.
I'm going out to the barn to give
| the horses and cows some carrots,
said his uncle, as he came up out or
the cellar with a big basket of yellow
carrots. Get your cap and come out,
and I'll show you how the different an
imals put food into their mouths
Five minutes later Jollykins was
watching his uncle as he cut up the
carrots and threw some of the pieces
in front of Old Charlie, the horse.
Now watch and see how Old Char
lie will draw those pieces up WITHIN
reach Of his mouth" said Uncle John.
Jollykins watched, and saw the horse
reach out his long, loosely-folded upper
lip and deftly draw the pieces within
reach of his mouth.
"Oh, how funny!' cried Jollykins.
Now see how the COW does it," said
Uncle John. The little boy watched,
and saw Old Buttercup stretch out her
tongue, oh, so far, and neatly curl the
tip of it in succession around each
piece of carrot, and draw them within
reach of her teeth.
Then Jollykins had to say How fun
N.Y." again, and indeed it was funny to
see that long tongue go out and hook
a piece Of carrot and pull it back into
Old Buttercup's mouth.
"HulIo!" said Uncle John, heres
Kitty Glover, and here's a saucer OF
milk I saved for her when l MIXED
this morning. Just watch and see how
puss raises the milk up out Of the sau-
Ger into her mouth"
The big maltese cat came down from
the haymow. where she had been hunt
ing for mice, and walked up to the
saucer Of milk. AS he saw her lap
ping up the milk. Jollykins cried out:
why, Uncle John. should think
the milk would all run of her tongue
as fast as she takes it up out Of the
saucer"
Gust watch closely, Jollykins," said
Uncle John, land you'll see that she
curls up the tip of her tongue and
makes a little scoop of it. That's the
way she gets the milk up out of the
saucer
"Now, Jollykins, want you to come
into the poultry house with me-" said
Uncle John, filing a dish with corn,
land see if you can tell how hen eats.
I've studied into the matter a great
many times, and can't quite tell now
how she does it,
"Jollykins was very eager, you may
be sure, to see if he could find out
something that had puzzled his big I'M
Gle. They went into the poultry house
and Uncle John picked up friendly
biddy, put her on a box right in front
Of Jollykins, and put some corn in
front of her.
Does the hen take kernel in her
bill, run her tongue under it and carry
it back into her throat, or does her
under bill work back and forth, and so
carry the corn back?"
'fShe swallows it so quick 1 can't
seei" cried Jollykins.
"Ho! ho!" laughed his uncle. That's
what always bothered me. But you
shall watch again some day, and per-
haps your bright eyes will be able to
find out just how Old Mrs. Biddy does
it,

A Mystery.
A-sailing and a-sailing,
A-sailing far away,
This morn I saw my fathers boat
Go sailing down the bay.
He said, "My little Gretchen,
I'll fetch gift for you;
It does not weigh a single hair,
And not a soul can view.
"It is not caught with net or line,
And yet it Is to me
Worth all the store of shining fish
That travel through the sea-
Now supper-time is bringing
The hour that love best;
When all the boats come sailing home
And fathers with the rest.
think I've guessed the secret,
Perhaps it's only this:
The treasure father hold so dear
Is nothing but a kiss.
