The old preacher was sitting in hls

Of his unwritten sermon. a vehicle
drove past, but he was still in the
clouds.
"Will you please step over to the
church, sir?' startled the preacher
from his reverie, and he hustled on
his coat and hat, wondering what the
gentleman could want at the little old
church.
When he entered the church, he
found the sexton talking with gentle
man and lady.
"We want you to perform the mar
riage ceremony" said the gentleman
to the astonished preacher; and h.
handed him card with the names OF
John Wallace and Annie Harvey writ
ten on it.
The old preacher laid aside his hat,
and, brushing down his white locks,
walked to the desk, followed by the
I others. The school children, seeing
strangers in the church with the
minister and sexton, gathered round
the door, and whispered TO each other
their curiosity at this unusual sight.
In few solemn words the old
minister pronounced John Wallace
and Annie Harvey man and wife, then
gave them his blessing and kissed the
bride. John Wallace kissed her also,
and as he did so was told in a whis

A New Silk For Pclticoais.

Silk moirette is the latest novelty
in Paris for the making Of the smart
petticoat. There has been an immense
run on taffeta silk petticoats. 1t was
best to use goods with body in it for
the making of petticoats and the head
ing of the lufiles, and the edglngs OF
the ruffies had spirals and frequently
heavy cordings to hold the skirts out.
But all that is changed this season.
The clinging petticoats are the things
to be worn beneath the tight fitted
skirts. Skirts are now made OF SILK
moirette, with plaits laid about the
hips. The bottom is finished with an
accordion-plaited frill, above one and
one.half inches in depth, edged with
a fluffy ruche. The skirt seems to
flow out amply about the feet. Many
of the newest petticoats are made with
a drop skirt. Those petticoats come
in shades of green, in blues, red and
in light colors. A very new idea in
petticoats is to have them made IN
reasonable qualities of foulard. The
foulard petticoats are fully as hand
some as dresses.
An Odd Cape and Nut-Trimmed hats.
Many three-quarter cloaks are be-
ing made to accompany cloth gowns
1T is new again, though an old device
to use cape of this sort with sof
India silk and lining OF stitchery il
carried up on the under side OF the
cape for quite six inches before i
meets the soft silk.
Grapes have enjoyed such vogue
thus early in the season, and eherrie:

that it is not likely the woman wht

John Wallace and Annie Harvey
rode over the long stretch of firm,
sandy beach from Nantasket to Hull.
They talked of the sea of old wrecks,
of Minot's lighthouse and the white
waves forever dashing against its
sides; and John Wallace described his
house in far-away Denver, the little
city surrounded by its giant peaks,
which, in the clear mountain air,
seemed so near, yet they were many
miles away. The lady was silent,
thoughtful, reserved, almost demure.

The phenomenon called 'sfrost
flowers was discussed before the
Biological Society in Washington re-
Gently by DR.. L. Il. Dewey. The SO;
called flowers are composed OF ice,s
which forms on frosty mornings in
autumn and early winter on certain
plants. The peculiar thing to be ex.
planned is that frost flowers do not
form on all plants, but only on about
twenty-six species, as far as yet
known. Among these are frostweei,
dittany, marsh aeabanes and cultit
yated heliotrope. The phenomenop
is apparently due to capillary move,
ment of water in the plant, but
wholly satisfactory explanation is
lacking.
