2hums and friends. Presents almost with
out number have, been pouring into the
Hay home for the last fortnight; it is be-
Ieved their number exceeds 400. many being
articles OF almost priceless worth, but IL
was not possible, owing to the reluctance
OF the family, to obtain a complete list of
the presents, although il is known that
they include houses and lands, jewels and
articles of art without number
The church where the ceremony was per-
formed was deliberately and artistically
decorated with flowers and green's. Back
graceful palms formed a great bower of
dark green. and beneath, lk a miniature
Niagara, great sprays of Easter lilies
trailed the ground. Candelabra, twice as
tall as a man, stood at either side of the
pulpit platform, each bearing twelve lights.
Down the center aisle was a beautiful
bridal path made up of lilies attached to
the pews on either side. The walls of the
church were festooned with Southern smi-
lax, topped on with great masses of Easter
lilies, caught up by bows OF white ribbon.
The church was crowded. It's seating

great picture hats Of white felt with long
white ostrich plumes. The bride wore
neither jewels nor lace. and her toilet was
one OF extreme simplicity, consisting OF
a gown of plain white satin, completed by
a tulle veil caught in place by a coronet
of orange blossoms.
A beautiful feature OF the wedding was
the musical programme, which had been
arranged by the Hay sisters. Four of the
six numbers were selections from Wagner.
The music was as follows: 9TH Pilgrim

Half an hour before noon the church
was well filed with guests and as the hour

the lines were rigidly drawn. President
Roosevelt came early and was given the
place of honor between the aisles in the
first row of pews. He came with Mrs.
Roosevelt and his daughter Alice. and they
preceded him as he came to the front of the
church. On either side OF the presidential
party were the relatives and immediate
friends of the bride and groom, and close

seated in the center of the church., the
place of honor being held by Lord Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador, with the
ladies' of his family. Minister WI and his
wife were prominent figures in the diplo-
matte body which included the heads or
charges of every one of the embassies and
missions to Washington.
The organist was softly playing the
Prize Song" from die Meistersinger' as
the hour OF II was struck. Immediately
the soft notes gave way to the splendid re-

the bridal party entered the church and
moved down the aisle. Miss Hay leaned
on the arm of her father and her maids

preceded by the usherS to the platform,

stood in waiting. DR.. Tunis Hamlin read
the service quietly and without oratoricaI
effect and the responses were made in low
but firm voices by both bride and groom.
The carriages of the bridal party were
driven directly to the Hay residence, where
an elaborate wedding breakfast had been
spread. The guests were limited much more

Men and WOmen's Dress.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
1T is the novelists who are to blame for
half Of the unhappy marriages." says Il
charming girl of my acquaintance. She
says that men are given erroneous ideas
about women's dress by writer's of fasci-
mating fiction, who are always picturing
their heroines in the act of freshening d
faded print gown by the addition of a
bright ribbon.
Before l marry I shall ask the man If he
believes in fresh ribbons on faded gowns.
and if he does / shall declare all of the
matrimonial plans off, she says. "Happi-
ness is impossible with a man who has
theories on dress for women. / know d
lovely girl who always looks dowdy be-
cause her husband has an idea that all
that an old gown requires to make it VI
thing of beauty is a bunch Of fresh white
tulle at the back of the collar and a fresh
pink rosette pasted to the left shoulder.
When my friend suggests that a new
gown is needed her husband remarks:
What's the matter with that blue suit?
The last time l saw it it was perfectly
good But l have worn it so often re-
monstrates his wife. oh, you can make 1T
look like new with a new ribbon or a jabot
of lace Now, every woman of sense knows
that nothing makes a worn and faded dress
new ribbon OF some bright color or a jabot
of new lace.
"Of course neck ribbons should always
be clean and fresh, just as a linen collar
should be, but the renovating ribbon is
an absurdity, and a bow of ribbon or a
tulle roSette fastened TO the bust or back
of the peck will often ruin the effect Of an
otherwise good looking gown. l never
waste money on lace tabots and fancy neck
fnishings, and l pity the woman whose hus-
band labors under the delusion that a
chiffon p~lastron and a knot of pink ribbon
will deceive anybody into thinking she has
a new tailor gown"

Diet for Children.

New York Evening Post.
One of the things that the mothers clubs
connected with the different settlements
and missions on the East side have accom-
plished is the betterment of the diet OF the
children of the family. 1t was found on in
vestigation that the usual breakfast given
to them was a slice of bakers bread which
was spread with a cheap jelly that could
be purchased at some of the little shops as
low as 4 cents a pint. This, with a cup
of strong coffee or tea, as the family taste
preferred, was given alike to the babies
and the children all along the line. Follow
ing much suggestion and kindly admoni-
ton, many tenement mothers now provide
a nutritious and wholesome, even If still
inexpensive meal for their children. One
wonders after knowing of some breakfasts
spread for children in families quite out of
the tenement district if suggestion and ad-
monltion are not quite as much needed
there. Fried sausage, pork tenderloins,
fried potatoes, with hot breads or griddle~
cakes Smothered in a sweep syrup, are a
common American breakfast during the
winter for children from five TO fifteen
years. 1t is little wonder that colds. bill
ious attacks, sore throats and the like are
common ailments in such families from
November TO May. The real marvel Is that
the children get through the winter at all.

Hay. and Payne Whitney, of New York,
son Of ex-Secretary Of the Navy w. c..
Whitney, were married to-day at noon at
the Church OF the Covenant. The wedding

the presence of the highest officials in the
land, including the President and his Cab
met. and Of what is recognized as the best
of New York and New England society.
The Hay family has been In mourning since
the death Of Adelbert Hay, but for this
one day the mourning was put aside and
the wedding was celebrated with all the
pOmp and circumstance that would have
characterized il otherwise.
For several days past the guests have
been gathering and preparations have been
making for the wedding. The groom's IA
ther, ex-Secretary W. c. Whitney, came to
Washington with a party of distinguished
friends, including Sir Edward Colebrook, G..

All the early prophecies in regard to the
continuation Of the lily-shaped dress skirts
with faring fullness below the knee are
quite likely TO materialize among spring
styles. This flare will be accomplished in
various new and pretty ways. Grace is still
evidently TO be the keynote in matters of
dress. while all the soft. beautiful woods Of
the new season will contribute their share
of the clinging down-sweeping scheme Of
La Mode. The fashions will continue to de-
mand graceful forms with almost fragile
slenderness. to demonstrate their dominant
charms; but the spring notifications will

1t is evident already that the coming sea-
son is going TO bear out the reputation or
the present one in the dominating use Of
white, and white hats are to be very much
worn with summer gowns.
The special feature of the new shirt
waist, so important a part of the tailor
costume, is the broad shoulder effect, en-
phasiZed by one, two or three plaits turn
ing back toward the arm.
Narrow box pleats all around the skirt
are to be worn. In fact, pleats and tucks
are introduced with a lavish hand, and
nowadays it almost seems a question of
tucks first, with the other details Of the
gown an after consideration.

For early spring costumes, where a newer
and more elaborate decoration than silk
stitching is desired, will be used some very
handsome braid ornaments, the variety of
designs of which will make it possible to
please all tastes. There will be displayed
elaborate set pieces ready to apply to the
skirt, while revers, girdles, collars and
other conceits will be arranged for the
jacket and waist. Both silk and mohair
combinations will appear, and Hercules and
Soutache braids will be in use. These braid
decorations are usually selected to match

She wouldn't Tell Her Age.

Springfield Republican.
Many stories are told of the generosity
as we'll as the eccentricities of the famous
violinist Camilla Urso, who made her last
public appearance at the Schubert Club
concert in Holyoke on Jan. s. Miss Laura
Reed. who was for some time a pupil of
Nine Urso. says that once her teacher lent
TO Joachim a beautiful old Tourte bow.
Joachim became so attached TO il that
he wished to buy IL, but Nine Urso was
unwilling 10 part with IL at any price.
Finally Joachim told her regretfully that
only with this bow could he produce many
of his effects and Nine UrsO insisted upon
his taking IL as a gift-a sacrifice which
can be appreciated only by the violinist,
TO whom the right bow is even more i'm
portant than the right violin. Nine Urso
was always most generous in her apprecia-

generations had crowded her from Der en-

Good Housekeeping.
In connection with women's exchanges, il
is a noticeable fact that the best things
always sell first, be the price high or low.
But the workers who do things in the best
way are very few and far between. Any
woman who can make fine handmade
enough to get it before the people, will
turn away work from her doors. For white
cotton embroidery. lettering on table and
bed linen. scalloping. etc, there is always
and everywhere a market. In large estab-
lishments the names of these workers are
guarded as treasures, so precious are they.

boxes there is a steady demand, but the
corners must be square, the stitching per-
feet and the leather without a law.
No woman should attempt TO sell en-
broidery who has not practiced for months
all the necessary stitches on a sampler. 1t
is wise for any woman who wishes to earn
money in this way to experiment until she
finds What she can do well. then keep at it

One woman last Christmas sold dozens of
little cretonne bags for spools and work,
the little bags shaped like an English hold
all, but the colOrs were charmingly dainty,
and the stitching and little leather handle
perfect. One woman has for years had a
constant sale for a court-plaster case and
