HOWE, ITS PROBLEMS AND INTERESTS
Dark ColoTs and HeaVy
StuffS for Bridesmaids

English notions as to bridesmaids
costumes, wedding ravors. and the
like are beginning to prevail quite
nOticeably here, so tnat unusual Varie-
ty may be expected, particularly in
the frOcks Of bridal attendants, this
winter. This means that coloTs and
thicker materials will be seen, and
that quaint costumes and effects will
be much sought after.
White and present day fashions are
hardly to appear unless combined with
something unusual in color or mode.
and for church weddings a cloth with
real weight is especially proper.
Stoles and muffs lend their grace TO
most OF these weddings and are made
up in marabout. Thibet. grebe, ermine,
or any other fur or feathers that can
be affCl ded. Granny bonnets" fit in
win these charmingiy. \ huge bow

ured most effectively in London was
made IN brown and white. The brides

white feathers shading to brown.
Grebe tippets were worn. the little

very large mum, however, was merely
trimmed with Prebe and made up of
draped velours. Brown shoes were
used. and undressed gloves of the
same shade. 'htMOst unusual and de
lightfully different We're the frocks,
which were set of by the punches of
red brown chrysanthemums carried.
The day OF brunette bridesmaids haI
come, for red is TO be worn, not the
scarlet shades, but deep rose In vel
veteens, such as the art fabric firms put

material used with brown FUR is ele-

Orange is seen only in folded vest Of
three shades. in froCks Of wolfe oyer
tafeta. The coat Is set off with beaver.
All kinds of old-time- dresses are suit

bride, but none are more charming than

WON MANY SOCKS AT POKER
GAME.

Ole Oleson, a "lumberjack" walked in
to Ashland the other day carrying 1,75O
pairs of gloves and mittens, !, 175 pairs
of socks and eighty three pounds of to-
bacco.
He offered the goods for sale at about
one-fourth of their value and was ar
rested on suspicion. He protested to
the police that he came into possession
of the goods honestly. When pressed
he declared that he won the articles at
poker in the lumber woods.
Oleson said he had been in the woods
many months. The lumberjacks re-
ceived no money while in the woods,
but were expected to wait until they re-
turned to town for their pay. AT the
company "store" in the woods, the men
can get such articles as they desire,
however, having them charged against
their time. Accordingly, the men used
merchandise instead of checks in their
games.
Oleson said he played in good luck
and in one game where socks were the
stakes, he won 1,175 pairs of the hos
iery on three aces. The other man held
a trio of kings.
In game for mittens, CleSon said the
limit was high and in three hours Of
play he had mittens enough to supply a
regiment of soldiers.
His story sounded reasonable and he
was released to go and leash in his
checks"

A young man in crossing Chestnut
street stumbled and Immediately put
his hand, palm outward, over his eyes
why did you cover your eyes like
that?" asked his companion.
"The gesture is an inheritance from
my father" the young man replied.
my father in his boyhood was caught
in a fire, land as the flames shoe up
into his face he put his left hand, palm
outward, over his eyes, thus saving his
sight. Afterward he would put his
hand in that way over his eyes when
ever he got any sudden shock or
fright. l have done the same thing
involuntarily all my life.
Gases like mine are not uncommon"
continued the young man. There is a
woman in Washington who never puts
her right hand up to her head. Her
mother broke her right arm early In
life and couldn't raise it thereafter
above her shoulder. The daughter can
raise her own right arm, but she never
does.
"a biologist had goat that he kept
chained to a pole. The chain CALLED
the goats left fore leg, and she limped
on this leg slightly, so as to ease the
chains rubbing. In time she became
a mother, and her offspring limped on
its left fore leg all its life" Baltimore

Here is a story told of the courage
Of Emperor Francis III. of Austria.
One arp. Of the Danube separates the
city IF Vienna from a large suburb
e1llled Leooold-stadt. A thaw mum
dated this suburb, and the ice car
ried away the bridge of the ccmmuni-
cation with the capital. The popula-
ton of Leopold-stadt was in great dis
tress for want of provisions. A num-
Der of boats were collected and loaded
with bread, but no one felt hardy
enough to risk the passage, which was
rendered extremely dangerous by large
bodies OF Ice. Emperor Francis stood
at the waters edge He begged, ex-
horted, threatened and promised the
highest recompenses, but all la vain,
while on the other shore his subjects,
furnishing with hunger, supplicated re
lief, The monarch's sensibility at
length got the better of his prudence.
He leaped singly into a boat loaded
with bread and applied himself to the
oars, exclaiming, Never shall it be
said that l made no effort to save
those who would risk their all for mel"
The example of the sovereign infamed
the spectators, who threw themselves
into the boats. They encountered the
sea successfully and gained the sub
