MARRIAGE WITHOUT msNDELssoAN
A Word For the Girl who Chooses n
Quiet Wedding.

There is something to be said in fa.
vor of the quiet wedding. where the
bride agrees to dispense with fuss and
feathers" long cortege OF brides.
maids, who must all be provided with
more or less expensive gifts. and will
be quietly married without that grand
/ spectacular entry to the church. and
the more gorgeous recesslonal to the
strains of the wedding march. What
saving of the pomps and costly van
tiles of this world.
II may be natural to a girl to wish
to have a fine wedding and to plan
each detail of costuming for herself
and her bridesmaids, but 1t is u weary
ing process for the family who have
to attend to all the minutlae of big
church wedding and reception at the
house. 1t is expensive, the way it Is
done now.
The bride-elect has little time or
though to bestow upon the step she is
taking in life. Her mind is occupied
with her trousseau, wedding presents
and the vexing question of minor ar
rangements for the bridal party on
the great day. Her dressmaker, milli-
ner and tailor fill up her hours with
appointments. and leave her no mo-
ment for repose or reflection.
The bridegroom-elect is anything but
n happy man, with the multiplicity Of
duties which are thrust upon him. He
is dancing attendance early and late,
and yet seems somehow to be cipher
in the grand pageant of the fashion
able church wedding.
If the parents Of the bride give their
sanction for quiet ceremony there is
much to be said in favor of mar
riage without Mendelssohn." solemn

a return to simplicity is good
thing. The great world has but a
passing interest in n private wedding.
Why should all society be called upon
to witness the solemnization? Where
incomes are small, and the expenses

tainly more sensible to take the quiet
way. to renounce the musical accom-

The Care of the Fyea.

The beauties of old, Helen OF Troy
and Cleopatra notably. We're famous
for the beauty of their eyes. and no
doubt they devoted much time to their
care. Some beauties do nowadays, but
many girl who has pretty eye could
enhance its attractlveness by little
care. Long, sweeping eyelashes have
been admired by poets and lovers
from time immemorial, and there is
certainly something very beautiful and
seductive in the long eyelash sweep
ing down on velvet cheek. Not only
does it add TO the expression, but it is
greater safeguard to the eye from
dust and dangerous living particles.
If little vaseiine or olive oil be put
upon the lashes each night the growth
will be aided very much
And then about the eyebrow. Eye
brows differ with every individual,
but If nature has not been careful to
provide one with those of perfect form
much can be done to nelp matters.
The eyebrow should extend slightly
below the orifice of the eye at each
end. Toward the temple it should ter
inmate in n mere line, and /, should
be slightly broader at the other end
Upon the peculiar arch and the
breadth of the eyebrow much depends.
Delicate features require delicate
eyebrow, while face that is strong
in character requires bolder one.

rather try. by careful brushing, TO
train them TO grow as you wish. If
you will try brushing your eyebrows
in different directions you will see just
how the hair should grow in order to
suit your eye best and then you should
be careful always TO brush it the same
way. A very little oil may be used,
but be careful not to use it often, or it
may make them grow bushy.

wet-wcather Costumes.

Rainy weather gowns now require n
good deal of attention. although there
has never been season for years
when women invested in mackintoshes
to the extent they have this season,
probably because the mackntoshes are
smarter garments than they were,
being made on the lines of the long
coats. Some women never wear n
macintosh, and prefer instead to have
a costume intended solely for bad
weather. A good model for such a
gown as this is made of the rough
cheviot, and has close-fitting skirt
with an attached fiounce short enough
70 clear the ground. The waist is in
blouse shape, with two wide pleats.
and very narrow walstcoat of white
cloth or, better still, red cloth, with
small gold buttons. This waist is
really jacket. and is intended to be
worn over the dress waist. The hat is
of the same material as the gown,
with long stiff feather that cannot be
Injured by wind or weather.
The long cloaks are most graceful
this season. and much fuller than they
were. They all fit well over the shoul-
ders. but have considerable flare, and
there is always some trimming around
the shoulders, either n capuchin hood
or two or three capes that cover the
shoulders well In front the cloak is
fastened at the throat, generally with
some pretty clasp, and there are revers
of velvet or fur and turned-down col
lar of the same material.-Harper'
Bazaar.
