William Fields Marriage

The following account Of the we'd
ding of Eugene Field and Miss Julia
Comstock was written by woman of
Kansas City, who was one of Mrs.
Fields bridesmaids:
1t was pretty sentiment which
caused Miss Mary French Field to
choose her mothers wedding anniver-
sary, October 16, for her own wedding
day.
Eugene Field first met the girl who
was to become his wife when he went
to st. Joseph to VISIT his college chum,
Edgar Comstock, preparatory to a trip
abroad, which they were then plan
ming to make together. There he met
his friends sister, Julia, and immedi-
ately fell in love with her.
She was a beautiful girl, a pro-
nounced brunette, with oval face, clear
complexion, with large. lustrous, dark
eyes, which inspired her lOyer-hus-
band to write in after years the sweet
love poem:
You are as fair and sweet and tender,
Dear brown-eyed little sweetheart
mine,
AS Wutus II NdllDM goNlA anu NltuNNtf
asked to be your valentine.
Though married when mot quite IL,
she possessed a calm dignity and grace
full poise seldom seen in so young a
girl.
This quick visit was followed by
others in quick succession, but the boy
followed girl attachment was not re-
garded by the family with any serious
ness.
The trip to Europe having been de-
layed to the utmost the two young
men finally started for New York
where they were to spend a few days
visiting friends before sailing. The
day after their arrival in New York
Eugene was missing. A note soon came
saying he was "calied back in St
Joseph on business" He had rushed
back halfway across the continent to
say one more farewell to his sweet
heart, leaving Edgar in a state Of un-
certainty as to whether he would re-
turn in time to sail ON the vessel in
which they had engaged i'm passage
and indeed, he did, but just reached
there in time.
The visit. though brief, was lone
enough to slip on Julia's finger a hand.

was carefully hidden away while the
young girl went back to the higl
school to resume her studies for the
year Wthioh her parents insisted mus
elapse before Eugene could come bach
to claim her.
And such was her serene dignity thai
even her sisters did not dare to tease
her.
The wedding was a beautiful hom,
wedding. The large parlors of the
family home on North Fifth stree
were filled with friends from St
Joseph and many guests from Other

An Important Paper.

The November Atlantic prints an i'm
portant paper on the two overshadowing
international ENTHUSIASTICALLY and
the Monroe Doctrine. America, always
passively disliked, has now evidently be-
come a most threatening question to Eu-
ropean diplomats. How can our recent
inroad into industrial and financial Eu-
rope be met or be counteracted? VIII re-
ciprocity treaties accomplish this end, and
how long will Europe tolerate our en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine, which
they look upon as a dog in the manger
policy, believing that we will neither alb
sorb South America ourselves nor permit
Europe to do so.
All these questions, and many others
equally vital and important, flowing from
them or connected with them, are dis
cussed in a paper entitled Europe and
America, contributed by Sidney Brooks.
