The Stephens-Peckham Wedding.

A recent number OF the Colorado
Springs Gazette contains an EXTENDED
account of the wedding of Gertrude
Eleanor Stephens, formerly teacher oil
elccution in the academy, and DR.. Her
bert Edmund Peckham which occurred in
that city October IA. The novelty OF
the ceremony has attracted much atten-
ton and its details will be OF interest to
the brides friends here.
The ceremony was a thorough nova
ton and much more lengthy than usual,
occupying nearly half an hour. Ii was
pronounced within the altar rail and the
bridal party numbering Is, faced the as
semby throughout.
An unique and beautiful order of SER
wee used was composed by the groom,
the idea originating with the bride. The
service has been copyrighted and will be
issued in book form. Quite large por-
ton was pronounced by the bride and
groom. 1t began with the quota
ton OF Isaiah COL by the minister. Then
in eloquent sentences the groom spoke OF
their high ideals of marriage and dedl-
Gated himself to her whom he had chosen
as his wife and presented her with Il
white lily, emblem, in it's wilderness, Of
blameless lie. He expressed the wish
that the spotless creation of the infinite
goodness might prove a reminder OF a
love, reverence and devotion-One for all
eternity.
A similar dedicatory recitative ensued
from the bride full OF fervor and fealty,
during which a pink rose was given to
the groom, an emblem of glowing heart
felt love. At one point in the service the
bride very beautifully recited the New
Testament chapter recommending Though
| speak with the tongues OF men and of
angels and have not love"
A peculiar feature of the service was
the omission of all promises and no
reference was made to poverty, sickness
nor death. The minister by virtue OF be-
ing one recognized by the church laws as
OF God to sanction the union,
announced the agreement between the
contracting parties as binding and valid,

mother OF the bride, "Blest Be the Tie
That Binds, while the bride and groom
clasped hands.
An exquisite gown of white satin de
chine, entraine, was worn by the bride.
The circular style skirt was cut in shallow
scallops. On each scallop was appliqued
a Duchesse lace flower. This garniture
fell over ruffle of cream Brussels net
edged with tiny band otthe satin. The
bodice of satin had insets of the net
appliqued and the yok was
Of net and applique. The sleeves fell in
two dropping putfs and there was full
tall of the lace and applique from the
elbow.
A very artistic effect was given to the
dainty French organize gowns worn by
the bridesmaids, from the selection of the
colors, green, yellow, pink and blue, sug-
costing the rainbow tints. The flowers
in the service were borne by two
of the maids.
To each bridesmaid the bride present
ed ring containing stone of the hue of
her gown and to the choir girls, a
spoon.
DR.. aud Mrs. Peckham will reside in

Henpecked For "A Day.

In the little hamlet of Nordhastedt,
near Meldorf, singular custom is OBJ
served annually. According to tradi-
ton, it dates back to the thirteenth
century. During that era the hamlet
was on one occasion attacked by n
band of robbers, and the men of the
village were soon compelled to beat a
retreat.
Thereupon the women boldly at
tackled the robbers and not only van
quished them, but also took the leader
and several Of the band prisoners. AS
token of their gratitude the men
have ever since allowed the women to
celebrate this great event by holding
a festival at stated intervals, and on
such occasions they exercise no au-
thority themselves, but submit in all
things to the will of the women.
The latter greatly enjoy their tenn
porary supremacy and, as a symbol
thereof, never fail to fasten a large
wooden slipper to every lamp and
Chandelier in the hamlet.

Word from a Fire Warden.

The village fire wardens wish through
the columns of the CALIFORNIAN to call
the attention of property holders to the
TACT that more general use of wood
causes the flames to find the weak places
in stovepipes and chimneys more quickly
than when coal is used. The chimneys
also need more frequent cleaning out at
the base, and close and careful attention
to these matters will perhaps avoid
fires. I he recent fire on Pearl street was
caused by fire dropping to the bottom of
the chimney and continuing to burn until
the floor timbers, close to the chimney
were overheated. AS it costs rom $40
to SIS every time the fire alarm IS
sounded it is requested that these mat
tiers receive proper attention.
