Mixed Receptions for Buds"

At last the debutantes will be pre-
scented in formal manner, and al
though the debutante tea is thing Of
the questionable past. afternoon re-
ceptions are all the go. says the New
York Press. The ultra-fashionable
set, however, gives a series of dinners
for the budding daughters but the
rank and file has accepted the mixed
receptions. One of the advantages of
the mixed reception is that the bud is
apt to meet many eligible men in this
manner, and not be dependent upon
girl friends at dances for introductions
of this sort The reception is more
costly entertainment than the tea.
One must have awnings, funkeys and
an elaborate spread. Merely the
steaming cup of tea does not go when
the debutante's reception is well plan
ned. But all things considered, the
debutante is not the factor in society
she was twenty years ago. The I'M
married woman of % is vastly more
interesting and the young married set
monopolizes the calcium according to
the present way of things.

WAR.

Private Smith, of the Royals; the veldt
and a slate black sky,
Hillocks of mud, brick red with blood.
and prayer-half curse-to die.
A lung and a Mauser bullet; pink frcth
and half-choked cry.
Private Smith, of the Royals; a tor
rent of freezing rain;
A hail of frost on a life half lost; des-
pair and grinding pain.
And the drip-drip-drip of the heavens
to wash out the brand of Cain.
Private Smith. Of the Royals, self
sounding his funeral knell;
A burning throat that each gasped
note scrapes raw like broken
shell.
A thirst like a red-hot iron and a
tongue like patch of hell.
Private Smith, of the Royals; the
blush of dawning day;
the fading mist that the sun has
kissed-and over the hills away
Inc olest Red Cross like an angel in
the trail of men who Stay.
But Private Smith, of the ROYALS
gazed up at the soft blue sky
The rose-tinged morn like babe new
born and the sweet-songed birds
on high
With fleck Of red on his pallid lip
and film of white on his eye.

CUBAN PROXY MARRIAGE.
A Paterson Engineer Secures His
Bride Through Fathers Intervention.


Last week in New York at the Ward
Line dock there was a pretty scene
that brought into prominence an event
unusual on American SOIL From Cuba
there arrived a beautiful dark-eyed
Cuban girl who had come to meet the
husband to whom she had been united
by proxy.
Rafael Hidalgo Y Lopez, mechani-
cal engineer in the Rogers Locomo.
tive Works, of Paterson, married SEN
orita Anna Rosa Fernandez Wegener
by proxy in Havana on Nov 10, the
engineers father taking the place of
his son during the ceremony
The young woman is an orphan and
the engineer met her in Havana, WOO
ing and winning her in impetuous
Spanish fashion.
They separated and family deaths
prevented their wedding. The young
man was impatient and asked the
girls uncle by letter if he would con-
sent to marriage by proxy. The
uncle finally agreed to let the en-
gineer's father, who was in Havana.
act
The wedding took place in the his
toric church of Christobal Colon, and
the wedding feast was celebrated at
1O6 Gale Teniente de Rey, the uncle's
residence, where the marriage contract
was signed. Thus satisfied that he
had done everything possible for his
niece, the uncle gave the young Cuban
his blessing.
The young people had not seen each
other for three years and their joy in
the reunion created a sympathetic in
terest in the passengers, custom Off
cials and dock laborers The long
shoremen made a search for rice but
were obliged to accept barley as sub
stitute with which to shower the &C.
statically happy couple as they drove
away for Paterson.
