Wedding Noxe1tien.

At a pretty house wedding recently
the flower girls, who preceded the en-
trance of the bride through lane made
down the long parlors by white posts
Joined with bands of satin ribbon, car
ried as baskets, by pink ribbon strings,
inverted leghorn hats filled with pink
sweet peas.
Apropos of spring weddings it has
been noticed that cases for wedding
gifts are by no means so much in evil
dence as formerly. Many of the silver
smiths provide canton flannel bags duly
stamped with their names for these
wares, which are then put in fine
pasteboard boxes, an arrangement
which society now sanctions as in quite
as good form as the cumbrous and usu-
ally quickly discarded case 1t was
told of popular Washington bride two
or three years ago that confronted with
great array of useless satin lined
cases, she got some good out of then
by using their satin Innings for MILL
merry purposes. Many dainty little bon
nets were, she admitted, "the product
of my wedding boxes" -Harper' Ba
Ear.

The suit of the car of Russia con
sists of no fewer than 173 persons, OF
whom 10 are members of the imperial
family, IL are princes not of imperial
birth, II are counts, 8 barons, and the
remaining Is are noblemen of lower
rank. One of the most striking figures
of the czarina's suit is Princess Guilt
Yin, who personifes the mistress of the
robes of past centuries.
She is tall as guardsman, dresses
most gorgeously and wears six ostrich
feathers in her bonnet. She dominates
the whole scene in which she is placed
forming strange contrast to the little
Countess Goes, mistress of the robes tc
the dowager empress.

hearts of the people through the SINGER
ity of her writings. She is a daughter
of David Slade, for more than so years
a prominent business man of Boston
through him having inherited the same
sterling qualities which made her early
ancestry prominent in the social and
political life of Revolutionary Massa-
chusetts, and is directly descended from
that illustrious Nicholas Danforth iden,
tilted with the founding of Harvard
college. She is an ardent, patriotic
worker.
The Dramatic Review in recent is
sue said: "While for four years Mrs
Fitz has given to the public occasional
compositions of rare charm, which
have met with responsive appreciation
she achieved the highest encomium Of
her work when at the farewell concert
of the Twentieth Century exposition
that eminent master leader, John Phil
ip Sousa, played her leading compost
ton, America Columbia The ap-
plause which followed is a promise of
the popular favor with which it is
bound to meet" This song has been
adopted by the Daughters of the Revo-
luton as their song.
Mrs. Fitz in the meantime has not
neglected home or social duties. She
Is the wife Of Frank e. Fitz, and three
sturdy boys furnish inspiration tc
achieve success. She is true, earnest
and helpful friend, of quick sympathies
making and retaining many friends.
With two such interesting women il
charge of the literary and musical pro
grammes the Daughters of the Revo
luton are looking forward to rare
treat, which will make June II, 1901
a day long to be remembered in the his
tory of the society.

regard for unity ana comfort Inc
American and French women appeared
in toilets Of silk, satin and lace which
properly had no place whatever in the
exposition grounds But while the
Frenchwomen's clothes were as beau
tiful as the American women's and
fuller of that indescribable charm call
ed style, they were not nearly so costly.
The cost of dressing grows greater
every year, and the shifts Of fashion
are prompter and more imperative.
Where the English woman goes plainly
dressed with a serene mind the Ameri-
can woman keeps up with the fash
ion," but lines her face with anxious
thought as to how it shall all be man
aged. Our last seasons gowns, per-
fectly fresh and just as pretty and suit
able as ever, are altered and recut and
retrimmed at the cost of many dollars
and much time and hard work, not be-
cause they need it, not because we
want to either, but simply because Mrs.
Wood across the way and Mrs. Pope in
the next street are doing the same
thing, and they are doing it because
we are! The truth is we American
women not only lay too much empha-
sis upon dress, so that it takes quite too
prominent place in our scheme of
life, but we also spend too much money
on dress.

HOW Mis-. Runl1e Won Her Degre.

now MISS hunk1e won Her Degree.
Miss Bertha Runkle, the girl author
of 'The Helmet of Navarro" is one of
the literary personages of the day. The
fact that Miss Runkle has scored a
genuine success at the age of % is
something worthy of more than ordi-
nary comment Only the girls intimate
friends believed in her youth, because
her story showed such maturity of
treatment and scholarship. The read
ing public laughed and said, "Wait I'M
til she comes into the public eye; then
we shall see she is much older WON
an"
Miss Runkle came into the public eye
in the early part of April by reading a
paper on "Romanticism" before the
Contemporary club of Philadelphia
She has been brought up in a book
ish atmosphere. Her mother, Mrs.
Runkle, has been for many years on
the staff of one of the magazines and
has supported the family, giving the
boy a Harvard education and training
the girl at home, or, rather, that was
her plan, but Miss Runllle defeated
part of it.
She is devoted to her brother, and
when he went to Harvard the two en-
tered into a close alliance. 1t resulted
in Miss Runkle's graduating from Har-
ward without a degree
Her brother kept in touch with her
every day and coached her all summer.
Each morning she would receive the
lecture as taken down by him She
had duplicate of every book he had.
She studied as many hours a day as he
did She mailed him every night the
result of her work, and he gave her
the added benefit Of his examinations.
She went through each examination
with him and passed without condition
During their senior year she studied
harder than the young man himself
and the excitement in the Runkle
household at the time of the final ex-
animation was intense.
Literary men and Harvard men We're
rs interested in this unique way of
Miss Runkle's going through Harvard
as she and her mother were. The
brother had aroused all the interest and
enthusiasm of the Harvard professors,
and when the final day came Miss Der
tina Runkles papers were examined,
and ii was found that she had passed
with flying colors She virtually won
the Harvard degree.-Saturday Even

Lucky Mehding DAYS.

Superstition is accountable for the
selection of the different seasons of the
year or particular days for the celebra-
ton of our weddings, and we are in
debted for this superstition to the an
clients. The Athenians regarded win
ter as the favorable time, Euripldes
was in favor of the full moon, Hesiod
of the new moon. The Romans had
their favorable and unfayorable days.
The calends, the nones and the ides of
each month We're considered unfavor-
able for the marriage ceremonies, as
We're the months of February and May.
June was well esteemed by all and is
still held in greatest favor among most
nations.

She Instructs Coli. Players.

Mrs. William Campbell is the golf
instructor on the public links in Bos-
ton. Her husband was greenkeeper of
the public links for several years pre-
yious to his death last summer. The
care of the golf grounds then devolved
upon Mrs. Campbell for the rest of the
season, as no suitable greenkeeper
could be found. So satisfactory were
her services that she has since been
made the supervisor of golf in Boston
and was appointed official instructor
and greenkeeper this spring. She is Il
Scotchwoman and came to this country
with her husband about seven years
ago.

We made a trip recently through a
section Of the country which in an
early day was considered too wet for
any other use than pasture land. This
tract Of country, embracing three or
four counties, has by reason of con
tinued pasturage, roadmaking, open
dtching and cultivation become so
much dried out that land which would
mire a team 20 years ago now pro-
duces as fine cereal crops as can he
grown anywhere. But we notice that
through this territory there is much
land broken up and being cultivated
after Il fashion which, not being sufti-
GENTLY drained, is not getting worked
and cropped with success. Until tile
drainage can be secured for this class
of lands it will be found to be far bet
ter to keep them in grass and not at
tempt to cultivate them, as in wet
season the only crop which they can
be depended upon to produce is weeds
