make 1t so. One maid Of honor and
one bridesmaid are at most the attend
ants of the party and frequently the
maid Of honor alone accompanies the
bride, while the groom has no attend
ant. The bride is gowned simply yet
with all the adornments necessary to
the proverblal bride and the costume
of her maid is likewise simple.
In spite of all its apparent simplicity,
the home wedding is not a small affair,
200 or 300 guests are frequently in at
tendance and the reception which fol-
lows is always largely attended. Take
1t all In all, the home function is no
less brilliant, though less snowy, than
that of the church and even when it
is announced as simply family affair
there Is a reception afterward for
friends. There is still the "Lohengrin"
wedding march and the "Oh, Promise
Me-" played softly through the service,
and there is always the bride, hap
py and altogether charming person,
who is after all the center of general
interest. And there is still a wedding
ring, although there is no page in
white velvet to carry it on a cushion.
and there is still a brides bouquet to
be thrown at her girl friends after the
ceremony, although there is no small
flower girl to hold 1t. And there is al
ways the rice and the old slippers to
be thrown at the departing couple, for
happily the wedding journey is not as
yet tabooed.
Home Wedding Is Better of Two.
Take 1t altogether, there are a great
many people who will agree with the
society matron that the home wedding
is the better of the two, although it Is
noticeable that they are in every case
the people who will be guests at the
affair wherever it is held. Yet if there
is to be a change in the style of mar
riages, and it has undoubtedly been
deemed necessary, it is perhaps wisest
that the wedding should be celebrated
at home, quietly" as the society col
umns say, and in the old-fashioned
way. The church wedding has held |
sway for more than ten years and it /
certainly was getting to be bore to
have a whole family of daughters mar
ried in exactly the same way. The
first could have a pink wedding and
the second blue one and so on to the
end. but as for any further individual
ity 1t was simply impossible. A bride
could be a bride after just so much
fuss and furry and running to the
church and back again. There was a
strict code for the arrangement OF such
an affair and no one dared to depart
from 1t. For all these years society
has been a slave to this code and when
it did finally rebel ii was to the great
and relief Of numerous
brides-to-be.

NOW WED AT HOME.
FASHIONABLE BRIDES TABOO
CHURCH FUNCTION.
simplicity of Arran ements Contrary
to Former EIaborateness = Society
Leaders Say Home Wedding Is Nor
sacred Event-Gnests Still Numerous.

The weddings of the fashionables
are no longer brilliant functions -
says the Chicago Chronicle. The elab-
Orate affair of the past few years has
been replaced by a quiet home we'd
ding, which does not lend itself to long
descriptions. "And why have a home
wedding| some people ask Wasn't
the old way the best|
These fashionables who have planned
ana executed the change have many
reasons for It, In the first place they
say home wedding is so much more
sacred. One is inclined to ask them
why they did not think Of that long
ago, before Mrs. SO and SO or Mrs.
Somebody Else thought of it. Why
didn't they have plain home wedding
when their first daughter was married.
Why was the church so much better
then than 1t is now? Not that 1t would
do any good to ask all these things
for the fashionable mother of the fash
lonable bride would look at you in
grieved wonderment If you did. "A
house wedding is so simple and pretty
and my husband likes 1t so much bet
ter, really, we never could think of
having another church wedding" she
would repeat, much impressed with the
words. All Of these reasons are an
avoidance of the point in question,
which is simply that home weddings
are now fashionable and are, therefore,
generally observed. Within the past
three months there have been thirty
weddings among the ultra fashionable
Of Chicago, and of this number but
three were church functions.
But there Is more to 1t than the mere
fact that the home has succeeded the
church as place for such affairs.
With the change the whole tone Of the
function has changed, the bride is no
longer so elaborately gowned, the deco
ratlons are not so extravagant, the |
bridesmaids and groomsmen are not
so numerous and the guest list Is es-
sentially much reduced. The wedding
is still pretty affair, but it is not
gorgeous and the efforts of the most
society editor could not

young officer.
'The surgeon says that you Will soon

quickly you will be we'll"
Dear, dear sister! Oh, what a good
idea, and how | shall hasten to get
strong, so as to be able to 60 with YOU
One morning, when she came In, ra-
diant with gladness, her brother bade
her speak low and pointed with his eyes
to a new wounded officer, whom they
had brought in and placed on a mat
tress beside his own. The wounded
man was NJ. de Lauterac d'Amboyse,
lieutenant faux chasseurs a pied" and
had been struck in the shoulder by a
bombshelI.
Poor young manw said Noemi, COM
passionately. HE has no sister to take
care of him" And she became interest
ed In this man, whose death seemed
certain.
In the meantime the days went by
and Louis convalescence progressed
rapidly. Had he not promised to hurry?
On the morning Of the tenth day Noeml
arrived, JOY In her face, bringing pre-
clous package wrapped in tissue paper
She, too, had kept her word; her mar
velous work was finished and she
brought 1t to show her brother before
carrying 1t to the merchant who order
ed 1t, and in her joy at being able TO
take her brother home she forgot about
the poor, wounded man lying beside
her.
'See how beautiful 1t ISL she said,
displaying the delicate masterpiece up
on the bed-proud of 1t, not because Of
Its overwhelming difficulties, but be-
cause 1t enabled her to realize her most
ardent wish, to bring her dear conval-
escent into their little nest in the little
street, into the small lodgings where
happiness would come back at the re-
turn of her beloved brother.
And they were both happy. With
hands clasped, they contemplated the
delicate lace.
All at once piercing shrek drew
them from their ecstasy.
In making an effort to rise NJ. de Lau-
terac d'Ambroyse had dlsarranged his
bandages, the wound reopened, and the
unfortunate man fell back on his bed
covered with blood.
At the scream the surgeon was on the
spot and In twinkling had removed
the bandage.
"Quick, quick! Some intg' he cried.
Hurry. hurry!"
And while the nurses, beside them
selves at the cries of the patient,
searched everywhere for what was at
hand, the stream of blood kept on flow
ing and the anxious surgeon multiplied
his appeals.
The brother and sister, motionless,
pale with fright exchanged one glance.
Noemi seized her precious lace, tore it
N pieces, and gave it to the major, who
applied 1t to the wound.
The hemorrhage was stopped.
Louis and Noemi, trembling with
emotion, looked at each other.

Ill that Louis could say.

LAST WINTERS ovERcoAr.

When the stormy breezes huster
Through the shade trees, lank and bare
And the tiny frost fakes sparkle
In the chilly morning air,
rhen we take an inventory
And Ger useful things we gloat;
Naught can wake our tender interest
Like last winters overcoat.
Tenderly we pick the mothballs
From the pockets where they've lain,
And with sponge and brush we labor
To remove each spot and stain;
Mourning DER the frequent tokens
OF our hungry friend the moth,
Where he foraged at his leisure
On the sleek imported cloth.
But at length, with some misgivings,
We pronounce II fit to wear;
Yet we shun our dude companions
And resent their naughty stare.
And we're apt to lose some slumber
And some envy we devote
To the man who need not worry
Der last winters overcoat.

Petroleum. in Paint Exnlndes

Explosions caused by paint mixed
with petroleum ether are said to have
occurred frequently of late in England
The admixture of petroleum ether is
made to hasten the drying of the paint
Aside from the recent accidents with
such paints In the interior of vessels
attention is called to the fire In former
years on the ,man-of-war Dotterel
where 15l persons lost their lives
Hence great caution is recommended
In employing such paints. In closed
rooms their use should be entirely pro-
