Til. PHILADELPHIA Bridesmaids.

Il wonder why it u.s." said the fair
young debutante, that you always see
such bunch OF ugly girls acting as
bridesmaids at weddings. I've noticed
this at every wedding I've attended
this fall. and really can't get over It.
I've never been a bridesmaid myself,
and, perhaps, I'm prejudiced but I've
been to lot of weddings, and at each
one the same thought has occurred
to me. 1t positively seems to me that
every bride picks out the homeliest
girls she knows to act as her brides
maids. can't understand 1t at ALL"
"Oh, that's easy" replied the blase
bachelor. Every girl does that sort
of thing when she gets married. You
see, girl, no matter how much may
have been spent on her costume, new.
er looks her best when she's getting
married. It stands to reason that she
shouldn't. She's nervous and upset and
pale. They all look like ghosts, and
scared ghosts, at that. Naturally, it's
up to them to run over the list OF
their girl friends and pick out those
who have no possibilities Of over
shadowing the bride. That's how it
came that you see so many homely
girls as bridesmaids" 81 guess you're
right" replied the debuntante.-Phila-

DRESSING by Lottery.

The girls employed in the potteries
of England are good-looking and we'll
dressed. They have taste, which is
cultivated by the art work in the fac
tories. Many of them are more sty-
llsh, perhaps, than their position
seems to warrant, but this Is easily
explained. They buy their clothes
by system known as "Maxims." This
means that twelve girls subscribe one
shilling a week. The money is held by
a forewoman, and when there is suffl-
Client cash to buy hat or dress the
girls draw lots and the winner has the
new dress, while the other subscrlb-
ers have to wait their turn. Then,
in all the glory Of ribbons and finery,
the lucky girl appears on Sunday.

Tie Troubles We Never Have,

The youth that lies so far away,
That seemed to end so long ago,
Might still be sweetly claimed to-day
BY many a man whose step Is slow
II, somehow he might borrow back
The days his foolish fears made sad,
The days through which he sighed,
"Alack!"
Ger troubles that he never had.
As c7roess prodlgals we waste
IT, '7'rs through which youth blithely
iu5.
And aany bitter dose we taste
TnHt rc, er comes to touch our lips.
Before our time we droop and die
And leave the scenes that were so sad,
Dcspoi I'd md fooled and broken by
The uouH,es we have never had.
S. f.. Kiser.
