Luther College illumination.

The annual illumination and celebra-
ton of the anniversary of Luther Col
lege took place on the college grounds
Monday evening. The illumination
was particularly beautiful this year
owing to the darkness of the night and
the addition ofelectricity to the college
building. The band played some beau

disappointed, but Mrs. Salter was the
one who finally mustered up courage
to ask Mrs. Wrinkle why she went for
Kate.
Because the seamstress wanted to
try on her dress" curtly answered
Mrs. Wrinkle, ruefully viewing the re-
mains of her pet begonia, and thinking
of the bottle of ink that the Har-
grave boy had spilled on the parlor
carpet.
And what did Kate wipe her eyes
and nose for all the way down the

ufacture and quite as effectual for the
removal of tan, sunburn and freckles
as the high priced imported articles.
Sunshine, in spite of tan, red noses
and freckles, is good for the skin. So
is fresh air. Both united give bloom
and color, and If taken early, before
the former has lost it's morning frag-
rance, and while the latter has not yet
gained its power to tan too deeply, the
benefit is very certain. and the bloom
of Hebe, Diana or Hygeia may be Sc
cured, or the bloom of all these COM
bined shall we say?
OF the two kinds of freckles, the con-
stitutional or permanent, and the
evanescent or summer freckles, the lat
ter are the least difficult to deal with.
Some skins are so delicate that they
become freckled on the slightest expos
ure to the open air in summer. The
cause assigned is that the iron IN the
blood, forming a junction with the OK
ygen, leaves a rusty mark. The cure,
then. is to dissolve the combination.
A lotion of one part good Jamaica rum
TO two parts lemon juice and a little
glycerine is one recipe for removing
freckles. Another one. which is easily
prepared, requires one ounce of alum,
one ounce of lemon Juice and one pint
OF rose water. Rose water and lemon
juice are excellent for removing tan
one spoonful of lemon juice in a half
pint of rose water.
For whitening the skin, after tan has
been removed. there is a cosmetic
milk OF roses-which is made without
great trouble. Pound an ounce of al
monds in a mortar very finely, then put
in shavings of honey soap in a small
quantity, and add enough rose water

DELIGHTS OF VILLAGE LIFE.
By Emma Gary Wallace.

=
Mrs. Wrinkle walked rapidly up the
street toward the village school-house
where her daughter Kate taught. 1t
was noticed by no less than three diff
ferent Bumbletown matrons that she
wore no gloves, and they. knowing her
precise habits, naturally wondered
why.
Not many moments later, Mrs. Win
kle returned. accompanied by her
daughter, who was very red in the
face, and, it was further observed,
was wiping her eyes and blowing her
nose vigorously.
Mrs. Rightmyer, one of the three OBJ
servant matrons, went straight over
to Mrs. Shinkle's and met Mrs. Salter
going in also. These three never al
lowed any of the local happenings to
escape their personal attention, and by
tacft consent, Mrs. Shinkle was leader
of the Village Vigilance Committee.
All three had noticed the same unus-
ual conduct on the part of Mrs. Win
kle, and were just discussing the pos
sibilities of the case, when Oracle
Shinkle came running in and asked for
a piece of bread and butter.

exclaimed Mrs. Salter. 1T does seem

mouth full of bread and butter. Some

the teacher come back from the door
she sent us right to our seats, an went
out Before very long Prof. Jones come
down with one of the big girls from his

told us to show our respect for Miss

Oracle hurried back to her compln-
ions, almost bursting with the news
that Miss Wrinkles father was dead.
This story rapidly spread among the
five hundred school children, who were
greatly delighted, because the funeral
of an old resident meant a half or
possibly a whole holiday.
The children wondered vaguely when
the funeral would be. Tom Langford
said he hoped that it would be next

THE BRIDES OF SUMMER.
Responsibilities for the Young Life.
Clothed with an Invisible ArmOr.

II
Clothed with an Invisible Armor.
+ New York, July 26.-From time for
gotten the summer months have been
the favorites for brides. The grass is
velvet to their feet. the trees bend
down green sun smitten boughs above
them, the flowers spring up like fra
grant torches to light them on their
way, all the glad luxuriance of life and
bloom is invoked to highten the pa
geant of those who step into new
life as if it were to be a long, delight
full stroll through a summer garden.
And so, indeed, it ought to be; but
nevertheless it is into an unknown
country that the step is taken; and, no
matter how fair the prospect, some
thing of the pathos that follows the
departing traveller over seas or across
the border follows the bride; and often
when we look at her we find the tear
starting, and a memory steals over us
as if we said: ''Ill fare the brides that
come to QUAR-" as we join in the frolic
of departure, the tossing of slippers,
the tying of tell-tale ribbons, to avert
the omen.
Life, hitherto, has been to the young
bride a thing of shelter; real cares
have seldom come near her; as rule,
if troubles were about, others have
borne them, or have taken their force
before they reached her. Now, all that
is reversed. If she has entered on a
heritage of love and joy, she has also
put herself in the way of sorrow and
pain; cares undreamed of are to visit
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-07-28

her; it is those slight shoulders which
are to bear responsibility; it is she who
will have to help endure the force of
vexation and of suffering for others.
She looks so frail and so unequal to
any of this, it seems like breaking
butterfly on a wheel. The hearts of
father and mother go out after her;
the bridal is not so joyous to them as
it is to all this gay company, till they
chance to look at each other and re-
member the bridal of long ago, and
then they trust that the love which
through all trial has led their way to
peace will not fail their child.
But when the bride takes off her or
ange flowers, then her ministering spir-
its put upon her an invisible armor that
makes her able to meet care and trou-
BILE with a smiling face, If not to dis
arm them on approach. A light heart
lifts her over every pebble in her path;
she is clothed with love and with the
potentiality of self-sacrifice, and pres
entity the delight of service lends her
halo Radiant and buoyant as she was
when turning from the altar. now she
has become something apart and sa-
cred.
We say that the day of miracles has
passed. but If we bethink ourselves we
find that daily life is full of them. Birth
spring with all the multitudeous and
various blossoms into which the crea-
tors first thought of flower has diff
! ferentiated, are as miraculous as the
raising of Jairus daughter. But there
! is no greater miracle than the way love
takes a slip OF a girl. full of a girls
light pleasures and slight interests,
| and turns her into an object worthy OF
worship.
1t seemed to be her moment of trl-
umph, there bright and blushing at the
altar with music and flowers, lover
and friends and admiring throng about
her: but II is really her triumph when,

pied an hour or two of each day for
the next few weeks, and when the
term was finished every one of the pu-
pills could trim and even make a hat in
really artistic fashion.
Mrs. Wyman herself was so surprised
at the result of her teaching she de-
cided to form millinery classes upon
her return to Boston. This she did
and they have been constantly filed
during the past ten years. She now
visits different cities, trimming in some
leading establishment during the busy
season and teaching classes in the eve
ming. She has private classes, others
connected with the Y. w. c. A., and
has taught a class in a social settle
ment district paid for by a wealthy
woman.
In the usual millinery stores girls
at the end of six months are able only
to do wiring and some of the mechan-
ical parts. Trimming and making are
beyond their widest dreams until they
have served another term of many
