OF the fourteen great irrigation pro-
jects, for which the secretary of the
interior recently set apart $27, 000, 900
of the reclamation fund, seven will,
according to the estimates of the engi-
neers in charge of the work, reclaim
100000 acres of land at total cost
of $12, $50, 900, an average of $11.37 per
acre. When the immense increase in
the value of the land effected by irriga-
ton is considered, the cost is by no
means great much similar land selling
at $40 and upwards per acre. Agri-
culturalists in the east are already be-
ginning to wonder what will be the
effect on the farming industry Of that
section of the reclamation of the vast
acreage which it is expected to render
fertile by irrigation. They say that
the opening up of the west, the cult
walton of the great wheat fields Of the
northwest and the large area in the
corn belt has already driven the east
ern farmer to intensive farming. The
opening up of vast irrigated areas
must result in the adoption of inten-
sive methods in the west, and they are
anxiously waiting to see to what the
eastern farmer will be driven when
that change takes place. Those in
terested in irrigation, however, main.
tain that the reclamation of the arid
sections will no more than keep pace
with the increased population and con-
sequent demand Of the country, and
that eastern farmers will never know
the difference.

Hyomei Medicates Air You Breathe

Do not take medicine into the
stomach to kill catarrhal germs in the
head and throat. Air alone can reach
these germs. Medicated with Hyo-
mel and breathed through the neat in
haler that comes with every outfit, the
air goes to the most remote air cells
Of the head, throat and lungs, and
completely destroys the disease germs.
Hyomei is the only sensible, yet scien-
tific way to cure catarrh. Other
remedies may fail; Hyomei will cure.

from the very air about us. and when
we looked in establishment to see the

The newly welded pair did not in

where out of sight, and through the
drawing room, halls and dining room
we whirled. counting the moments
only by our flying footsteps.
1t was half-past eleven before we
stopped, and then only at a signal
from the band. This was no less than
march-or rather the Christmas
hymn played in march time, and stop
ping our waltz suddenly, we wondered
what it meant, until Katherine and
her husband, taking the lead, beckoned
us to follow in procession. Wonder
ing little, we did so, and found our
selves led through the hall across to
the library doors, which had been re.
ligiously closed all evening, rather to
our surprise, since we needed the
extra dancing place. Katherine flung
open the doors and a moment of
amazed silence ensued. There in the
middle of the room stood magnifi.
cent Christmas tree, hung from root
to top with glittering emblems of the
season and agloW with myriads OF
tapers fastened to its branches At
a signal from Katherine's brother, the
electric lights in the hall and dining
room went out and we found ourselves
with nothing to detract from the "a.
diant splendor Of the symbolic tree.
After the distribution of the many
pretty gifts, the bride and bridegroom
led the way to the dining room
where a bountiful supper was served
including all the favorite Christmas
goodies. Thus was brought to a close
one Of the pleasantest and prettiest
weddings that any of the assembled
guests had ever seen.

"a Christmas wedding is rather an
unusual thing. At Christmas-tide
everybody's mind is set on something
other than weddings, and to have one
then seems almost like an interruption
of the just mirth which reigns the
world over" writes Muriel Falkland in
the Housekeeper. The writer goes on
to describe how the idea of Christ
mas wedding was prettily carried out
in favor of one of a group of twelve
girl friends who had planned to have
distinctive celebrations of this great
est event of their lives.
THE ceremony was home one, Of
course, and as Katherine has a host
of brothers and sisters and another
host of young nephews and nieces,
there was every reason for as genial
time as the occasion and the season
warranted.
1T must be a real Christmas we'd
ding all white and scarlet, and with
plenty of evergreen" was Elizabeths
first impulse, and we all agreed with
her. Katherine was fully in union
with our idea, and we found nothing
but help all along the line, since she
was the last of a large family, each
of whom wished to help celebrate her
nuptials as joyously as possible.
Our first move, when we arrived to
get things in order, was to cover every
floor in the house with crash.
This gave the white background we
had wished and afforded besides a
splendid facility for the luxurious ever
green trimming which we had planned
to make the spirit of Christmas gen
orally felt. Every picture and every
doorway and window frame was out
lined with evergreen, the spicy odors
filing the house, ere we were nail
through. Holly we used only TO
wreathe the chandeliers and bank the
window stills and mantel pieces. Long
garlands of evergreen were hung IN

wall from the ceiling, twined around
the balustrade and put in loops and
circles wherever wall space offered
At each window a beautiful holly
wreath, tied with floating streamers OF
scarlet ribbon, was hung, and on the
end of each of the chandeliers hung a
great ball of poinsetta, mingled with a
few feathery green ferns and tied with
scarlet.
This was in the halls and chambers.
In the drawing room, where the GER
emory would be performed, beauti-
full archway of ferns and poinsetta was
erected by the florists under Eliza
beth's direction, and from the middle
of the arch a cluster of bells, also OF
scarlet, was hung in position like a
chime. Baskets of scarlet, with ferns
trailing from them, hung in the door

ways between the drawing room anu
dining room and were set on the little
tables and cabinets which filled the
room.
In the dining room the table was
laid for the guests and bridal party un-
der a great cluster of scarlet when
hung from the chandelier, and on the
table were arranged several clusters
of lights, in silver candlesticks, shaded
with scarlet and wreathed with holly
and the pure white frost berries, which
looked like pellets of glistening snow.
Each plate was encircled by holly and
at each chair a branch OF it was tied
with scarlet ribbon. The centerplece
on the table was a mound OF molly
from which a broad red ribbon was
carried to each plate, ending in a
small bunch which hung down over
the edge of the table.
The wedding was planned to occur
at half past seven, and just at quar-
ter past the chimes of the church at
the corner began their hour OF music,
so that we had this sweet accompani-
ment to the ceremony.
Promptly at half-past seven we
emerged from the room upstairs
where we had been dressing, since the
early five o'clock dinner, and we could
see for ourselves as we went slowly
down the broad stairway that the
scene was a beautiful one. First IN
the procession walked the four small
est nephewS and nieces of the bride,
two by two, the girls wearing frocks
Of white with scarlet ribbon in their
hair and carrying baskets of holly,
the boys in red, each with branch
of evergreen. Then went Katherine,
dressed in white cleaning satin, with
a bunch of mistletoe fastening her
veil, and white vellum prayer book
in her hand. Then we girls, six of
us, walked, two by two, each dressed
in white, but wearing crowns of frost
ed holly and carrying great armful
of poinsetta blossoms from which long
streamers of scarlet ribbon hung to
the edge Of our gowns.
From the foot of the stairs to the
sides Of the archway two other nieces,
also dressed in white and scarlet,
stretched lines of glistening white
satin ribbon, in which small punches
of holly were knotted at intervals, and
through this enclosed pathway the
bride walked to the improvised altar,
leaning on her brothers arm. Dur.
ing the ceremony the sound of an
organ playing the sweet old Christmas
hymn, "Adeste Fideles," penetrated
the room, and continued while the sol
emn words of the marriage service
were spoken, making most beautiful
accompaniment for the scene.
