Hello! you readers of the Jour
nal. l guess some of you think
we people down here have gone
entirely into oblivion, but such is
not the case, as we are wide a.
wake. This beautiful June-tide,
which annually brings to us its
fair flowers and its fairer brides,
thrills our natures with new life,
energy and animation.
One of the sweetest marriages
that have taken place in our midst
for long while was solemnized
at Bethel church, on June ID,
when Mr.. Carroll Hudgins and
Miss Birdie Eulalia Hudgins were
joined in the holy state of matri-
mOny, Rev. Moss officiating. The
bride wore a lovely white silk,
while around the girlish face and
form 2 tublc veil, aftistically loop
ed up with lilies of the valley,
hung III ricb/clinging folds. She
was led 10 the altar by her broth
cr-in-law, Eddie Calls. The best
man was Arthur Hudgins, broth
er of the groom and the maid of
honor was Miss Lulie Hudgins,
sister of the bride. The ushers
we're: Messrs. Monroe Diggs,
Roger Hudgins, Eddie Calls, Ira
Ward and Floyd Diggs of Hamp-
ton. Mrs. A. +. Hudgins, the
brides mother. had prepared
dainty repast and many relatives
and friends gathered around the
hospitable board and partook
heartily of the refreshments. Aft
er many hours of enjoyment the
guests left, after wishing the new
ly wed couple life as fair and as
cloudless as their bridal eve.
Mrs. Keller Hudgins, who has
spent a couple months in Balti-
more, returned Tuesday, accom-
panied by her husband, who holds
a responsible position ON on one
of the Merchants and Miners
ships. He will resume his duties
in a few days.
Mrs. Floyd Hurst, who has
been seriously i'll, is a little better
at this writing.
The Children's Day services at
Bethel were, as usual, successful.
The building was filled, while a
large number had to stay out of
doors. The collection was salts
factory.
Charlie Campbell and family,
of Richmond, are visiting his
mother and brother.
Miss Maybe Hudgins is visiting
friends in Portsmouth and Nor
folk.

1t Can Be Arranged in Such Way That the Whole
Household Need Not Be Upset by Event.

a picnic can be made an enjoyable out
Ing where the entire household is not up
set by the action. The amount Of
hustling. worry, and preparation that 1t
requires to supply a few people with a
very simple, primitive meal robs the
event of It's charm and beneficial results
The majority of women believe that
people require twice as much to eat
when they so picnicking. and, therefore,
take along lot OF extras which would
never have been missed we're they left
at home L is these little fiourishes that
play hob with the patience of the pic
nicker
OF course, there are picnics and pic
mics. The fashionable outing, where
parties of young folks so out in mobiles
to a secluded spot in the country is ac-
companied by more ceremony than when
city folks migrate to the parks.
Willow hampers and baskets fitted
with al manner of accessories. which
are spread on large linen cloths or col
Iapsible tables impart an English air to
this simple diversion. These fitted tea
baskets. as they are called, are expen>
sive luxuries and range in price from
$40 TO 500. They are supplied with tea,
coffee, and water kettles, a number of
plates. silver or nickel forks. knives,
spoons, china plates. napkins. and va
rious receptacles for carrying food
The average purse, however, is not suf-
ficiently elastic TO admit of this expense,

are suit cases with adjustable sections

are sold in the shops from S1.50 to 81,
and many be fitted up the tea

Another luncheon basket which is be-
ing much favored is made OF japanese
grass and in shape resembles a Glad
stone bag. The sides open and fall all
the way back. which enables an extra
quantity of articles being carried. They
are seen in natural colored fiber and
in rich bronze hue.

fiber, which are sold in the shops for 5
cents a dozen, make satisfactory sub
stitute. OF the same class are heavy
paper plates made in a half dozen layers
each, these being removed by simIy pull
ing them off. Both the wooden and
paper plates are very light in weight
and are thrown away after being used.
In place Of taking table silver when
oienickinE 1auntS are frequent, utensils
of aluminium require but small outlay
of money and are easily kept clean. A
set Of china cups and SaucerS may be
picked up in the shops at sales for little
money. Drinking cups and large plates
for sandwiches, of white enamelware,
are especially nice for this purpose.
Collapsible drinking cups, too, are i'm
portant and require but a mite of space
Several large linen napkins and table
cloth made especially for pienics, be-

sion. quantity of oiled paper should
be en- hand for wrapping sandwiches
and other foods which must be kept
When one intends making tea and cof-

milady feels more like resting than set
ting out for the country.
Strain and bottle the day before as
much lemon juice as viii be required,
also prepare tea and coffee for icing.
These are better for standing, anyway.
Filling for the sandwiches may also
be prepared the day before Minced
meats reduced to a thick paste by add
ing butter and olive oil make a very
appetizing relish. Sardines or any fish
sandwich minced and favored with a
good meat sauce are also good. Eggs
Tor sandwiches or for salads may be
boiled the day before. Cold tongue or
ham or chicken meat may be sliced at
the same time. wrapped in paper and
placed in a tin on ice. The filling for
deviled eggs should also be prepared in
advance. and by the way, eggs served
in this fashion make most tasty relish
for picnics. and are quite as attractive
looking as they taste.

ST. WTUS DANCE.

Have you a child afflicted with ST..
Vitus Dance? Clark's Nerve Tonic
cures every case. That is the record in
Marathon county, Wis, for 48 years.
Is equally effective in relieving nervous
prostration, extreme nervousness and
other forms of nerve arrangement.
Will promptly relieve, and, if used a
sufficient length of time, effect a per-
manent cure of wetting. Is also
an excellent general restorative in all
cases where the system is in a rundown
condition.
Sold in Wausau at the Frost hilbrick
drug store, 500 Third street, and at
Chas. Helke's furniture store, 81 .313
Fourth street, in 8 ounce bottles, at
$3.50 per bottle; 8 bottles securely
packed in light wooden box, $500, 6
bottles $500.
Recent cases of st. Vitus Dance are
usually cured by 3 to bottles. Chill
dren under ten years of age are much
more promptly cured of bed-wetting
than after they pass twelve years.

three or more bottles of the Nerve Tonic
by sending to E. G. Clark, Wausau,
