"OUR WEDDING JOURNEY"


for robbing an orange grove and the bride
had her clothes stolen by the laundress.
The Imprisonment lasted only until the
cards could be exchanged between the
prisoner and the irate Waterman, and the
clothes were restored, but all these things
make interesting reading and serve to re-
call other incidents. They met any num-
Der of Minneapolis people and the regis
ter Of friends encountered on the way in
cludes twenty-five home people in the few
days spent in Los Angeles.
The volume closes with the return to
Minneapolis and, when she reached home,
the bride found the wrong trunk had been
sent to her. 1t was SO like her own that
her key fitted it. She opened it, before
she discovered the mistake, only to find
herself showered with rice for, strangely
enough, the trunk belonged to bride
who had just commenced her wedding
journey.
It has taken time and thought to ar
range the Incidents and souvenirs in their
present order, but the result is more sat
isfactory and has formed a volume which
will be Of interest for years to come.

Observed Here and There

The faculty Of the University of New York
has passed a resolution whose purpose it is
to make the dancing parties Of the institu-
ton more exclusive and practically to re-
strict the attendance to college students and
their particular friends Chancellor Mo
Cracker explains this action by saying that
many Of the entertainments of the college
were followed by dancing and 1t had occurred
to him that they were growing too public in
their nature. "They are often too crowded
for comfort" he said, "and it is in view
of this fact and the fact that Objectionable
persons might otherwise attend such functions
that the faculty took this action"
The way in which the matter is to be dealt
with Is explained by the resolution, as fol-
lows. - ~. -.
When any social function of which dancing
Is to be part Is appointed in the gymnasium
special ticket in addition to the entrance
ticket shall be required for each person desir-
l lhg 10 De received upon inc loot. ms ucke1
ticket of this kind shall be granted to any
person whose name shall not have beer
handed in by some member Of the university
to the patronesses and the floor committee
in care Of Director Cam, at least tWenty-foul
hours before the time Of the function, an6
duly approved by them.
The thought that actuated Chancellor Mo.
Cracker must have occurred frequently te
older people attending university social at.
fairs. University parties are to all intents
and purposes wholly public affairs and, IL
they escape attracting seriously Objectionable
people, that is simply case of good fortune
At the more elaborate parties the compare
lively high prices Of tickets is depended upon
to keep away Objectionable persons, but per.
haps the least to be desired those
to whom the price is a small matter. How
ever, the question Is of more Importance a
the informals, at which the fee is small. Thes
are simply thronged with persons who haven
the slightest interest in the university, per
sons who go because they there get The
most for their money. The result is that tn
| inexpensive parties that would ordinarily ap
| peal very generally to the university students
| and would be an important factor in a socia
| life that should reach wider circle than i.
now the case, abandoned almost who'll.
! to outsiders.
To be sure, these persons help to swell tn
treasury of whatever organization is to b.
benefited, but these parties are sanctioned b.
the university authorities primarily on til
! theory that they promote student sociabilit
and not as money making schemes.
University students many OF them hearth
approve of the idea Of restricting their socia
| affairs to the students and their persona
circle. They believe that the parties woul
be still well attended and by more congenia
! set. really representative Of university life.

One of the brides Of the year has been
busy since her return from an extended
wedding trip in the preparation Of a vol
ume which she calls "Our Wedding Jour-
ney." The edition will be limited to one
and only the nearest friends will be al
lowed to peep between the covers. The
frontispiece is snap shot Of the bridal
couple as they took their carriage by an
obliging young brother, and the pages
that follow tell of the pleasures, mishaps
and, incidentally, the expenses of the
journey.
ut might be called record of petty
thieving," laughed the bride, as she
turned the leaves. 1--WE commenced by
st ealing the menu card in the dining car
the night we left Minneapolis. Here Is
our check, $3.50, though that doesn't rep
resent the cost of the meal, for Tom
ruined himself feeling the waiter to keep
him from bringing the mammoth bridal
bouquets that our thoughtful friends had
provided for us. He carried in two be-
fore we had the wit to bride him to
throw the others out of the window
The pages represent an odd tumble of
hotel bills, menu cards and theater pro-
grams, while railroad folders and maps
show that the route was west to the
coast and then through California. Every
other leaf bears an anecdote In the
BRIDES or bridegroom's hand, as the joke
happened to be on one or the other. They
tell Of the good-natured raillery from
railroad officials and hotel people, who
seemed to recognize at once that they
were a bridal couple. The bride was lost
in Chinatown because she stepped into a
side street to look at particularly fas-
cinating brass pot and her adventures ran
over two pages and were illustrated with
striking pen and ink sketches by her
husband, who bought the brass as a more
lasting souvenir Later the bride had a
chance to try her artistic skill, for the
bridegroom was carried out to sea by a
steamer he had carlessly boarded when
strolling on the dock and took a short
and unexpected voyage, to the surprise
and dismay of his BRIDE
They seemed to have all sorts of adven-
lures and the bridegroom was arrested

from the garden. OF course, one can
never go very far wrong in selecting
black boa, no matter Of what material 1t
may be made. The important point to
remember is that the boa makes the
simplest gown dressy, and is haven of

gether so becoming as 1t should he has
been selected.
Have you seen those new tied ribbon
bows? They are just the thing that every
one Is going to wear; that is, everyone
who can afford the luxury, for it takes
quantities Of ribbon to make them-eyen

Of the professional bowmaker. The dis
play mado in one shop window attracts
hundreds OF admirers every day, but not
ono of them goes away having learned
! the secret of their manufacture; that

the Du Barry bow, similar to the one worn
| by Mrs. Leslie Carter in the play Of that
name, and is quantity becoming head
| dress. Bunches Of ribbon that closely re-
semble the modest violet are to be worn
on the corsage; these are really econcmi-

the belt. Can anything be more pretty for

styles and becoming colors ?-and then,
| too, how easy to produce the effect OF
having a great variety of costumes, by
the clever changing of these bows among
several gowns. Large black rosettes,
| often of gauze ribbon, are worn in the
hair, toward the front, at almost any
hour of the day. The younger people are
wearing a butterfly bow at the back, quite
| at the nape of the neck; these gener-
ally made of taffeta, MORE or velvet, and
mostly in black.
Roses made in two or three shades Of
pink satin ribbon SO closely resemble the
real, or garden, rose as to defy detection

fashion, tucked into the hair behind the

cases of the dread disease were due to that
fact The swinging of the pendulum to the
other extreme was noted by a physician
speaking recently at meeting of the aux
iliary of the Stony Void sanatorum asso-
ciaton in New York. DR.. Knopf said: "The
fear of consumption has become almost a
| mania, to which might give the name of
phthisiaphobia It is essential that we take
wise precautions against it, but this unreal
sonable fear leads to injustice and even
cruelty.
1.-THE action of the United States govern
nent in excluding foreigners suffering from
tuberculosis when they are people of means
and intelligence is most unjust and cruel,
end may lead to retaliation. 1t is we'll to
deny our hospitality to the pauper patient,
but there Is nothing to fear from the better
class of aliens so afflicted
DR.. Knopf gave several instances known to
him In which this fear has caused positive
| inhumanity. In one case sewing woman
was discharged, because sns spoke of sis.
ter's almost complete recovery" and her
employer, a woman Of wealth, was alarmed
by even SC remote an association with the
disease! In another case man was dis
charged because he had cough that aroused
this phthisiaphobia in his employer.
DR.. knopf then illustrated the difference
between communicable" disease, such as
tuberculosis, and Contagious one, such
fcctly safe in a sanatorium for the former,
but extremely likely to take the disease in
a smallpox hospital, although equal caution
| might be exercised in both.
Like good many diseases tuberculosis is
| communicable through a kiss, and this often
gives rise to one of the most trying situat tons
Imaginable. Persons in the early stages of
consumption seldom suspect their condition
and 1t often seems wise that they should not,

There is no doubt but what ''Wh ereWithal
shall we be clothed" is the question Of para
mount Importance these days with the women
and even the men do not wholly escape the
influence Of the general discussion and the
tempting displays In the shop windows. The
accessories of dress often cause as much
worry to woman as her gown, for although
they are little things they make or mar
otherwise fawless toilets. The most carefully
tailored waist will become a commonplace
affair, with a stock lacking il smart
ness.
A great many of the best ideas IN stocks
are simple, especially in construction. and
for this reason it is easy to reproduce a model.
Therefore, the economical woman buys one
or two of the smartest stocks she sees and
straightway makes herself supply like it
and perhaps exchanges patterns with several
of her circle of friends. However there is
carefulness of finish about ths tailored
stocks that some really good netdlewomen
don't seem able to supply. These vomen are
not forced on that account to ply high
price for all Of their stocks; thy can get
someone else to make copies Of the smart
models for them at a much more reasonable
price than the models thenselves.E This plan
too, enables one to use materials a hand and
to match the waists with which the stocks
are to be worn. 5-
One clever woman, realizing that many
women don't want or can't make their
stocks, has been employing her spare time
during the winter In making uE an assort-
ment of stocks in pique, silk and linen. When
she had ready large supply sht invited her
friends in to see them, announcing that they
were for sale. They melted away like snow
on warm spring day and nowshe is really
being pestered by women whofwant her to
make stocks for, them. She has another
business and only took up the stock-malSin g
as an odd job employment, BIT there is no
doubt that for few weeks at bast she could
employ all her time in filling riders.
Along a similar line is tip plan Of St.
Eida's guild at St. Marks This organiza-
ton has some young matrons and maids re-
sourceful and original in tlpir ideas. The
guild has sales to replenish Is treasury, but
they don't follow conventional lines. AS a
result patrons never have etobe persuaded to
buy: the guild always has the things that
! can't be had elsewhere or Lnything like SO
satisfactory style and the lush at some OF
the sales at St. Marks, like a run on a
bank. This spring, instead of an ordinary
| fancy work sale, the guild will have linen
sale at which the articles offered will be
chiefly stocks, fancy collas and handker-
chiefs. The makers of stool have sent away
for models, SO that noveltyis assured

patients has two sides. Dice there was NO

DR.. Hartman, the Famous Gynacologist
and Inventor of Pe.ru-na Offers to
Treat Women Free During the Sum.
mer Months.

America is the land of nervous
women. The great majority of nerv-
Gus women are so because they are suf-
fering from some form of female dis
ease. By far the greatest number OF
female troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble
is so common, so prevalent, that they
accept it as almost inevitable. Tte
greatest obstacle in the way of recov-
cry is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness. In female complaint,
ninety-nine cases out of one hundred
are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located.
The following letter was recently
received:

PENNIES BY THE TON.
Work Involved in Handling the Re.
ceipts of Penny-in-the-S1ot
Machines.

When one has put penny in the slot
and got his correct weight or piece of
chocolate, he seldom thinks of the
thousands Of other pennies dropped
that very hour into other machines.
The companies that own these "auto-
matte vendors" receive tons of pennies,
which they can turn back into circula-
ton only through the United States
subtreatury, for, as Harpers' Weekly
explains, banks refuse to handle pen
nies unless they are counted and packed
in rolls, and the slot machine COM
panies would have to hire large force
of clerks to do this, and that would cur
tail their profits.
The problem of counting pennies for
deposit in the subtreasury is simple.
They are weighed Like SO many bullets
on scale, which registers not pounds
and ounces, but dollars and cents.
The collections from the slot ma
chimes do not go directly to be
weighed. The coin has first to be sort
ed, for it is mixed with all kinds of
refuse-lead weights, buttons, ban
giles and counterfeits, put into the slot
either in a spirit of mischief orito de-
fraud the company. he boys who do
this sorting wear antiseptic gloves, for
the coins are very dirty and likely to
spread disease.
The refuse from the sorting process
is usually valueless, although now and
then gold pieces, bits of jewelry, gold
and silver charms engraved with ten
der inscriptions find their way into the
iron throat of the machine which swal
lows only copper cents. Hundreds of
German pennies and many coins of
higher value are found in the machines,
put there through carelesssness, for in
these cases there can be 10 intention to
cheat; there can be nothing lower than
a cent.
Counterfeits abound. The cost of
making is not great, and the per cent.
of profit is large. People seldom take
the trouble to look carefully at pen
MES, so counterfeits pass easily. On
the Bowery in New York and at
Coney island from one to two per cent.
of the copper in circulation is said to
be spurious.
So the owners of the penny-in-the
slot machines have more trouble with
the actual money they receive than
men in any other business. Making
change relieves street car company
from receiving nothing but niekels, but
the penny-in-the-slot company must
take the actual copper stuff and turn it
into more convenient form. On lower
Broadway it is no uncommon sight to
see wagon load of pennies going to
the treasury, in appearance only a
load of canvas sacks, but really .
clumsy embarrassment of riches.
