| Married" in the Ladies' Home Journal
| for June, the Rev D. NJ. Steele says:
| Being an Episcopalian, always use the
| formal printed service of the Prayer Book.
| In this the greatest stickler is obey. One
| day couple came to me, bringing as wit
| nesses the parents of both bride and
groom. Everything proceeded smoothly
| to the point love, honor and obey when
/ the bride refused to say the last. / re-
| peated it and waited. Again she refused
| and / shut up my book. Then there was
| a scene. They talked it over, and the
| more seriously they argued and discussed
| the more stubbornly she refused The pa
| rents BECAME angry, the groom excited
and the bride hysterical To humor her
| he Joined in the request to have me leave
it out. But 1 liked the other fellow and
decided that a little sternness from me
| in the present might be a favor to him
| in the future So 1 told him that 1 had
| no authority to change 1t and would not
do 50. l tried to show the foolishness of
| her objection, but it was no use. Final
ly 1 said to him: Well, this household
must have a head somewhere. l will
leave it out for her if you will say it,
| Then 1t was his time to refuse, which he
did He gathered up his hat and started
for the door when, presto change! she
| sprang after him, led him back by the
hand, looked meekly up at him and said

There was quite n pleasant little ro-
nance in Brooklyn the other day. Mr..
Lineburgh and his son Clarence, both
well-to-do residents of the city of
churches, were at dinner, when the IA
| Their, turning to his son, asked: "Clar-

| would you really like to have a daugh-
ter-in-law?" returned Clarence, smiling
~.
why yes" answered the father.
"All right, I'll bring you one home"
said Clarence.
The old gentleman laughed, and then
the conversation took another turn.
Now, it happened that young Mr. Line
burgh who is builder and prominent in
| Masonic circles up town in Brooklyn
had been only waiting for chance to tell
his father that he was engaged to marry
| Miss Louise Fox, who lives on Grand
| avenue. After dinner on Friday evening
he left the house and went direct to the
home of Miss Fox whom he surprised by
telling her he wanted her to come right
out with him and get married.
While the prospective bride, to whom
|
ting ready, the coming bridegroom made
use of the time by telephoning his friend,
| William Heiser, to attend him as grooms-
man. MIR. Heiser, on his part, called up
| Rev. DR.. Cornelius l.. living of Cavalry
Protestant Episcopal Church on the tele-

you early this evening"
The elder Lineburgh gasped with as

Lineburgh are now on a wedding trip.
The views on 1.-The American Woman
and Dress" expressed by Helen Waiter
son Moody in the Ladies' Home Journal
for June, are based on the marked diff
ference in the way the different national
tiles Of women visitors at the Paris Ex-
position last summer treated the problem
of clothes. The English women were
gowned with the utmost regard for uti-
lily and comfort The American and
French women appeared In toilettes of
silk and satin and lace which properly
had no place whatever in the exposition
grounds. But while the French women 5
clothes were as beautiful as the American
womens, and fuller of that indescribable
charm called style, they were not nearly
so costly. The cost of dressing grows
greater every year, and the shifts of
fashion are prompter and more impera-
tive. Where the English woman goes
plainly dressed with a serene mind the
| American woman keeps up with the
fashion," but lines her face with anxious
thought as to how ii shall all be managed.
Our last seasons gowns. perfectly fresh
and just as pretty and suitable as ever,
are altered and recut and retrimmed at
the cost of many dollars and much time
and hard work, not because they need IL,
not because we want to- either but sim
| ply because Mrs. Wood across the way,
and Mrs. Pope in the next street are
doing the same thing-and they are doing
1t because we arel The truth is, we
| American women not only lay too much
emphasis upon dress, so that it takes
quite too prominent place In our scheme
OF life. but we also spend too much money
on dress.
