WEDDINGS TOO EXPENSIVE.
Costly Accessories Often Unnecessary
and May Be Curtailed with
Perfect Propriety.

Recently woman who has dwelt
many years in the fashionable world
remarked that as the years go on and
the expenses--which include mooern
Observation-Disclosures, In the same ratio,
| the requirements of an up-to-oate lash
ionable life multiply; and these nova
days are totally different from those OF
even 25 years ago.
Formerly brides trousseau was all
that she had to think about. Now, how
ever, she finds that there are other ac-
cessories which considerably augment
her expenses.
One very costly item is the expensive
souvenir of the occasion In the shape OF
some article Of jewelry which she is OK
pected to give to each one of her brides
maids, and often also (although this Is
not obligatory, some costly item of the
bridesmaids dresses. such as hat, muff
or some other accessory.
Besides these she, too, must in these
latter days give farewell dinner to her
attendants and especial friends, which
Is generally chen" function, although
some prefer to enliven the entertain
ment by the introduction Of the mascu-
line element.
All of which, taken together, forms
no inconsiderable portion of the general
outlay. the aggregate sum of which
amounts in some cases to q small for
tune.
There is only one decent way to get
out of all this" said bride-elect recent
ly, land that is to have no bridesmaids
at all. Ifyou have them you are expected
to Go all these things. and my people
find that my trousseau and wedding
breakfast are quite sufficient to please
the family, without all the rest of it. so
, am going to cut all that out"

THEY HELD UP ST. LOUIS.
Young Couple Internationally Find
Out All About Their We'd
ding Presents.

Six sets Of dining room furniture ana
numberless dressing tables. chairs and
couches were among the wedding gifts
received by young Chicago couple who
did not intend to keep house. The groom
accounted for the abundance Of furni-
ture by the fact that he was In the busi-
ness himself. They had expressed their
appreciative thanks to their thoughtful
friends, says the Chicago Daily News.
| and were wondering who had sent a fine
set of spoons. as the only guide they
had to the giver was the st. Louis post
mark on the package.
Well" said Rex there are four FAM
lilies of my Stackhouse relatives living
In st. Louis, and not one Of them sent
a thing"
"And there are those three lovely
girls | met at the lake last summer"
said Mrs. Rex. Il hadn't an idea Of their
giving me a present. and can't write
and ask them because if they didn't
how dreadful it would be!'
Finally. however, it was decided to
send note to each of the four St. Louis
families, stating the case as well as pos
sible, and expressing thanks If thanks
were due.
Four days later the morning mail
brought the following letters from st.
Louis:
Dear Nephew. No, didn't send the
spoons, but am starting to-day piece
of cut glass, which trust will reach you
safely. with all good wishes Your un-
Gle,
RICHARD STACKHOUSE."
Dear Cousin-I have no idea about
the spoons, but am sending you with
this parlor lamp, which brings my
congratulations, though it comes lit
lie late. Devotedly.
CLARA"
Another uncle wrote that he was
mot guilty" as to the spoons, but en-
closed a check and asked them to buy
a chair with it. Cousin Bob sent the
following:
Dear Old Fellow-None OF us sent
the spoons, but We have ordered a big
leather chair for you, and hope you will
like IT, 1Our COUSIN,
bob"
Dear, Dear DOrothy-We three girls
have had the greatest time trying to de-
eide what to get for you and have at
last hit upon the idea Of ordering big
green davenport. just like the one we
four used to sit on so much last sum-
mer. 1t is very late In the day, but we
just couldn't decide any sooner. With
loads of love from all of us.
GLADYS, BERTHA, MARGARET"
Up. S.-We do not know anything
about the spoons"
Dorothy looked at Rex. "Dotty," he
said, solemnly, we've held up st.
Louis"
81 should say we had!" she gasped.
"And now who sent those spoons"
Never mind the spoons! | am going
out now to see if can hire storage

Bath That Is Refreshing.

The directoire bath is the very latest
thing. tits bath made of sweet-scented
water in which there is enough acid to be
invigorating. 1t is bath of previous
generation and 1t is one which every
athlete of the present day should try. To
make directoire bath take a tub of hot
water and pour into it quart of bath
vinegar, if one can afford it. If one can
not indulge in this extravaganza, then
take pint. If this is too much, at least
pour in a few tablespoonfuls. A bath
in bath vinegar is good for the muscles.
1t drives away rheumatism, it cures neu-
ralgia, it is just the thing for stiff
neck and it takes the ache out Of tired
bones.

Maturity of Trees.

Though there are oaks living which
are known to be more than 1000 years
DID, the average oak does not live more
than IS years. That is to say, its growth
extends over that period. The same is
true of the ash, larch and elm. The
spruce and fir reach maturity after
about so years. AT the end of that time
their growth remains stationary for
some time, and then decay begins.
