THE HOME ITS PROBLEMS lAND INTERESTS
A WHITE WEDDING.
White the Color Scheme for Flowers,
Gowns, and Decorations.

At a recent June wedding. white was
the color scheme. The staircase leading
to the main hall was festOoned with
white drapery and flowers. Two little
girls acting as ribbon bearers came first
down this staircase, unrolling broad
white ribbon bands. These formed an
aisle through which the bride and at
tendants passed TO the floral altar
erected in the reception room. The
bride carried a sheaf of white roses. in
stead of a formal bouquet. A white
frocked maid of honor and two pages,
also in white. made up the remainder
of the procession. The supper table had
canopy of white flowers. and as a
centerpiece an immense white wreath
Four white ribbons suspended from the
canopy were attached 20 candlesticks
near the four corners Of the table
where pale yellow candles burned, Civ
Ing an effect of white and gold.
At a recent wedding, the breakfast
was served at a large round mahogany
table, an heirloom In the family. and its
beautiful surface was bare except for
small embroidered doilies and a center
piece. A great bouquet of pink and
white peonies was arranged here and
masses of similar flowers were set in
bowls on the mantels or In baskets on
brackets about the reception and dining
rooms.

NOVEL JEWELRY.
Charming Contrast to Former Massive
Effects.

Jewelry in which lightness In setting
and originality and artistic conception
in design are characteristics is in EVIL
dence this season and presents charm
ing contrast to the massive effects or
previous periods. Some jewelers. make
a particular speciality of this style OF
ornaments, and strikingly attractive
brooches and pendants are TO be found
by those who are seeking for such mani
festations of the goldsmith and gem
settlers art.
For instance. there is a pendant con-
sisting OF a diamond-shaped sapphire,
encircled by briIliants. attached to the
finest platinum chains. Depending from
the pale blue gem are two platinum
chains, studded with diamonds, from
which depend smaller sapphires trimmed
in diamonds.
A dainty ribbon effect is a brooch Of
brilliants with large pearl in center to
which are attached short platinum
chains finished with handsome pear
shaped pearls; a bronze pearl drop lends
note of distinction to a diamond pin
suggesting a flower. the design being
picked out with pearls. Distinctive and
pretty is a little bow of diamonds, end
ing in a tassel Of pearls and diamonds,
hung from a single chain of alternating
pearls and diamonds Decidedly original
i'm design. the sides being different, Is
a necklace set with diamonds. The left
side represents trail of leaves. ana
the right a trail of flowers. the two
being united by two slender golden
chains Louis QuatorZe in design is a
pendant. the stones of which are worked
into a trellis
A somewhat severe bar brooch Of bril-.
lants Is finished either end by pearl
of right proportion. A narrow light
double gold bar bangle, studded with
diamonds, and caught at regular inter
walls by a large turquoise framed In
small brilliants, represents another new
ornament

FernS Jor a SHADY Spot.

Many persons have tried TO transplant
ferns from the woods without success.
owing chiefly to the fact that they did
not attempt it at proper seasonA or did
not transplant to the proper soil. Prob.
ably the better way is. to start them
from seed. which can be had from any
scotsman, of the hardy annual sorts.
Ferns must have partly shaded, moist
location, and sandy, rich soil, with
plenty of leaf-moid in 1t. On top OF the
permanent soil, place two inches of .
mixture Of leaf-mOld and sandy loan.
On this SOW the seed. thinly, and cover
the moss wet. and do not disturb il. The
ferns will terminate and root down into
the prepared soil and accustom them
selves to it better than plants brought
in from the woods.

HAS NO PARALLEL.
Wide Interest In Indiana in Rev. w. Z.
Hinshaw's Pardon Case.

La Porte. Ind, June 29.-The case Oh
Rev. William Z. Hinshaw. the noted
preacher convict in the penitentiary at
Michigan City, will be considered by
the board Of pardons.
No criminal case i'm the history OF In
diana has attracted wider attention or
elected keener interest that that of
uinshaw. who is alleged to have muir
dered his wife and who since his con-
finement has enjoyed privileges never
before accorded a life convict. Mr..
Hinshaw has always protested his inno-
ccnce and the fight in his behalf has
been waged by mens appointment in the
politics Ut the state.s A small fortune
has been expended in tracing evidence
and in following clues, all of which,
however, failed to furnish solution for
the mystery.
Several years ago two convicts con-
fessed to completely in the crime, de-
claring that Hinshaw was innocent, but
their purported confessions were given
but little credence by the officers,
though they were made by men who
had careers of crime and who gave a
surprisingly accurate story of this par
ticular crime.
Several months ago Governor Durbin
permitted Hinshaw to leave prison on
a parole Of 60 days. He went to the bed
side Of his mother, who was supposed
to be dying. without guard, and at the
termination of the leave of absence re-
turned to prison, dOnned the garb of a
prisoner and went about his duties, his
mother on the way to recovery and
buoyed with the hope that her son
would be given his liberty before her
death.
Mr.. Hinshaw labors zealously in the
prison for the betterment of unfortu-
mates who are his companions. He is a
man of deep piety and during the 10
years of his eOBfinement has been = a
valuXblds aeststa4t to the officials.
Mr.. Hfnshaw not only declares his
Innocence. but he purposes If liberated.
to devote the remaining years of his life
to establishing his innocence and for
the reformation of men who follow
crime. .t'.> .+,t. = 81.
He was Methodist circuit rider at
the time of the tragedy which sacrificed
the life Of his wife and shocked the
town of Belleville. There was no at
tempt on Hinshaw' part to escape. He
declared burglars had entered his house.
that his wife was shot in fight with
them and that he was wounded He re-
ceived wounds, but the state advanced
the theory they We're self-inficted
There was no known motive for the
crime, and after a trial continuing a
number of weeks he was convicted,
though defended by the ablcst lawyers
In the state. Since that time there has
been no relaxation of effort to prove
the preacher convict innocent.
