4 TICKLE BRIDE.

Whether the romantic and uneX-
pected element which figures so largely
in many marriages, these days, is alto
gether due to the whims of the "lady
in the case" we cannot say, but we can
cite Circumstance, at least, where the
lady was responsible for a sudden
elopement with one man with the in
tention of becoming his wife, and then
an abrupt change of mind on her part
and marriage to another. The case in
point is that of Miss Lille Redmond,
school teacher of Madison county,
who on her way to school one morning
met a lover by the name of Walter
Watts and consented to elope with
him. Unluckily for Mr.. Watts, he
failed to marry his lady love while she
was in the mood for it and postponed
getting the license until the next day.
When he applied for it he was in
formed that, few hours before, Miss
He went frantically in search of proof
and found that the young lady whom
he had left.with cousin of hers while
be made preparations for their mar
riage, had, in his absence, been visited
by Mr. Oscar Toombs, another lover,
who earnestly plead his cause with her,
whereupon the tickle fair one changed
her mind and welded the admirer last
upon the scene.

The Crystal Springs Meteor raises a
vigorous kick against the proposed law
prohibiting Sunday excursion and
freight trains and, among other things
says "Some eight years ago the
legislature was memorialized to pro-
hibit the running of freight trains
on Sunday. The proposition was
vigorously and almost unanimously
opposed by this community as a
very serious menace to the trucking
industry, the opposition going so
far as to express itself in lobbying
against the bill in the legislature,
with the result that the measure was
defeated" We believe the history re-
cited by the Meteor is correct, as is
that of the good preacher whom we
heard say sometime ago that the truck
men of Copiah had never raised good
crop of peaches since they helped to
defeat that Sunday law.

Fashions in Mourning.

The question is often asked, Is mourning
going out of fashion? The answer is yes
and no. Among the lower middle classes
1t certainly is; among the upper section of
society 1t is as much observed as it ever
was. Royalties set an example in this re-
spect in Europe, for their mourning is al
ways deep, and Grape is used to a great ex-
tent by them. 1t is quite true that the old
system of things which robbed the trap
pings of woe of any undue becomngness
has been abolished, nor are these same
trappings quite so funereal, for which let
us be thankful. The time of mourning is
also considerably shortened, though there
are still few people who have more re-
gard for the state of their feelings than
the dictates of fashion.
After eighteen months it is merely a mat
ter of fancy whether the wearing of mourn
ing in its kindred stages-meaning mauves,
gray and violet-shall be discarded alto
igether or If one shall resume the wearing
of colors. Age usually settles the point.
very young widow will undoubtedly take
advantage of the latitude thus allowed and
ashes in raiment of brightest hue.
For immediate members of the family
mothers and sisters are required to wear
mourning for a year, during the last half
of which it is nghtened. 1t is not good
form to appear at social gayetieS until the
expiration of this prescribed term. The
Younger members of the home circle may
wear white throughout the period If they
desire. A band of bombaZine worn on the
sleeve of either tan coat or jacket is
permissible badge of mourning. but is not
approved by those authorities who insist
upon the strict and consistent observance
of the rules, which means all black.

| ering enough of the wood to look well bal
anced, which a bed never does to my eyes
dressed with a round bolster only or with
pillows laid fiat under the spread. OF
course, pillows that are slept on never look
pretty displayed, and the best arrangement
is one advocated years ago in this paper:
The sleeping pillows should be laid fat and
covered with lcarf which may be like the
spread or of white linen like the cases on
the show pillows.
Linen, hemstitched with initials en1broid-
cred in the middle of the front and lace on
the ends, which falls nearly to the floor, is
what 1 personally like best. The spread
may be white or colored, but this suits
either.
Daylight Dress-Ups.
The larger pillows and scarf are care
fully laid off at night, with the outside
spread, and thus a fresh appearance for
the day is insured. After using this method
for years 1 can recommend it. and with
everything dainty if not elaborate, it suits
any room, simple or otherwise. To go back
to our blue room: All the toilet fittings are
OF japanese blue and white porcelain. and
it is astonishing what a pretty collection
has been made by taking time and keeping
a constant lookout, in travelling as well as
at home. There are none of the very hack
neyed shapes but all kinds of odd things
put to everyday use on bureau or wash
stand. Several f1ourishing plants stand on
the wide window sills. in blue and white
Jars, and the table which does duty as a
desk has all its appointments in the same
pretty style. The woodwork of the room is
enameled white. and il is all most harno-
niouS. This house is moderate in every
way: there is no great outlay of money evil
dent in building furnishing, but good
taste has arranged everything, and the
whole is attractive as these portions I
have mentioned 1t is a pity that money
and taste cannot combine in all undertake
ings. but possibly the results might become
monotonous at last: without any sharp con-
trasts to make us more appreciate the good
when We do see it.
