The awkwardness of the best man
at wedding in forgetting to bring the
ring is not to be compared with his
omission to procure the marriage
license in those states which require
that a license be obtained before a
marriage can take place. New York
state is not afflicted with such a law.
says the New York Times, but there
are many states not so fortunate. 1t
was in one of those states that this
incident happened. Over a thousand
invitations had been issued to the So
ciety people of a certain Southern city
for the wedding of one of the fairest
daughters of that city to a young man
who was well known for his success in
business and for his unbounded popu-
larity. This wedding was, in fact, the
society sensation of June. Not one of
the accessories of a fashionable church
wedding was to be omitted. RehearsaIs
had been held and it was fondly be-
lieved that every one who was to take
part in the function knew exactly
what to do The bridegroom's best
man was his brother, and when the
ring was produced, just before the time
for the evening ceremony arrived, the
bridegroom felt sure that everything
had been arranged.
When the minister had pronounced
the couple man and wife, those VINO
sat in the front seats saw the good
man whispering to the bridegroom and
observed that whatever the words were
the happy man didn't look to be quite
as happy as a man in his position
should be. Still the couple marched out
to the regulation strains of Mendels-
sohn. The words which the minister
whispered in the ear of the bridegroom
were these: Your brother has for
gotten to take out the marriage
licensed"
Here certainly was a pretty predica-

1t isn't of much advantage for a wo-
man to wear new hat to the Congre-
gational Church of GAINESVILLE, Wis,
for all the women, at the pastors re-
quest, take off their hats in church just
as they do in the theater, and the OPP
portunity to study and admire new mil
linery in sermon time is lost.
1t isn't a popular custom, with the
women, but the pastor asked that it be
adopted in such a manner that the re-
quest couldn't well be refused, and
now no One cares to break the custom
1t was done by the printing of this no
tice III the church calendar:
1--WE wish to make it the custom in
this church, beginning to-day, for the
ladies to remove their hats during the
service. 1t is already done elsewhere,
and will add immeasurably to the in
terest many will be able to take in the
service. 1t is difficult to give attention
if one cannot see the speaker or sing
ers, and at present with our fiat floor
this is often impossible. The ladies
will be glad to do this, we know, for
the sake of increasing the enjoyment
others may have in the services of our
church"
The very next Sunday all the hats
came off.

An instance of the way in which the
acting of a play grows may be taken
from Ellen Terry's playing in Mime.
Sans Gene" In the play in question,
says the Cosmopolitan, the washerwo-
man Duchess is having a lesson from a
professor of dancing. The business of
the play requires her to be awkward
in her attempts at dancing, and the
actress is Observation-Disclosures awk-
ward. She has put on a long riding
habit in order to become accustomed to
manipulate her court train in the
dance, and is so much troubled with
ii that finally she tucks il over her
arm while she is learning to take the
steps. The train keeps slipping off her
arm and has to be perpetually replaced,
and the episode is a cause of much
boistrous amusement.
One night in a great English manu-
featuring city she was playing the part
with even more than her usual verve.
She was lost in the assumed character
so thoroughly that it was real to her,
and the ex-washerwoman, with her
mind harassed and worried by the try
ing conditions of her artificial court
life, instinctively returned to the hab-
it's of her youth. In a moment of abb
straction, finding the fat coil of stuff
across her arm, she instinctively began
TO wiring il out. The response of the
| audience was electrical; every woman
ard man-who had ever seen a washtub
recognized the sincerity of the action.
This moment of creative instinct was
recorded in the actress mind, and has
been repeated ever since.
The use of visiting cards dates back
many years. Formerly the porter at
the lodge or door of great houses kept
a visitors book, in which he scrawled
his idea of the names of those who
called upon the master and his fam
lily, and to whose inspection 1t was sub
mitted from time to time. One fine
gentleman, a scion of the nobility from
the Faubourg st. German, says the
Ladies' Home Journal, was shocked to
find that his porter kept so poor a reg
lister Of the names of those who had
called upon him. The names, badly
written with spluttering pen and pale
or muddy ink, suggested TO him the
idea of writing his own name upon
slips of paper or bits of cardboard in
advance of calling upon his neighbors
lest his name should fare as badly at
the hands of their porters. This GUS
tom soon became generally established.
In China cards have been in use for
thousand years, and the rank OF
the caller is denoted by the size of the
card.
In France they early began TO en-
grave the name and surround Il with
hllegorical designs, while hearts IN

The charge made in recent issue of a
local publication that one of the most
urgent reasons for the rebuilding of the

the bedding and furnishings were unciean

them was most emphatically denied at the
hospital when a News reporter called
there. Warden Osborne was indignant
that such an allegation had been made.
He felt that great injustice had been
done those in charge.

SKIN TO REPLACE SCALP.
Girls Own Cutic1e Used to Repair
Her.

Especial to "The Jersey City News."]
SAYREvILLE, Sept. II, 1s01.-Within a
few days a second operation of skin
grating will be performed upon Miss
Anna Loeb, the girl whose scalp was torn
off some months ago. The girl stopped
to pick up a bobbin that had rolled un-
der the machine at which she was work
ing. Her hair caught upon the shafting,
and the entire scalp was torn off, ex-
posing the bone.
1t was thought at the time her in
juries would result fatally, but to the sur
prise of her physicians she rallied prompt
ly from the shock and gained strength
steadily. A month ago the first CRAFTS
were made. Strips of skin were cut from
her thigh and placed upon the edges of
the flesh around the denuded portion of
the skull. The operation proved more
successful than the physicians had dared
to hope, for granulation at once set in
and new flesh formed under the grated
skin.
1t is expected that subsequent gratis
will increase the area of new flesh and
ultimately cover the entire skull with a
new scalp.

HEnDRICKSON SCCR.S S OFFICIALS
Hints at Indictment of Atlantic
City MaYor.

MAYS LANDING, Sept. II, 1901.-Con-
sternation was caused yesterday to the
saloon keepers and politicians of Atlantic
City by the charge delivered to the Grand
Jury by Justice Hendrickson. 1t was the
most startling arraignment of public Off
cials ever delivered from the bench in
this county.
The Justice charged that members of
the Atlantic City Common Council had
accepted bribes to permit violation of the
law. He scored the officials for not en-
forcing the orders of the Court and urged
the indictment of the Mayor of Atlantic
City and others holding public positions
if the evidence presented to the Grand
Jury was such as to warrant it.
The failure to observe the laws against
Sunday liquor selling at shore resorts
was dwelt on by the Justice, who bitter
" arraigned the violators and their all
legged protectors.
