GIRLS WEDDING CLUBS.
Proving Very Successful in Their
Purpose in Pennsylvania
Towns.

Wedding clubs have of late been
found among the working girls of a
number Of Pennsylvania manufacture
ing towns. One of these girls de-
scribed a wedding club recently, &C.
cording to the Baltimore Herald.
"A wedding club" she said, lis built
on the plan of a watch club. All the
members pay in so much week. and
each member, when she comes to get
married, is entitled to draw out of the
treasury enough to give her a grand
send-off. She has fine, magnificent
wedding, and at the same time no
scrimping is needed, no borrowing. and
no running into debt.
ITO belong to wedding club you
have only to be unmarried and of good
character. Your weekly dues run from
five cents up to so cents-you can
pay in according to your means-and.
of course, when you draw out for
your wedding, what you get is regu-
lated by what you put in. 1 mean by
that, that a girl who has been put
ting in so cents week will draw
out for her wedding ten times more
money than girl who has only
been putting in five cents week. OF
course, that stands to reason.
Our club has 80 members. It has
been running two years, and seven
girls have got married out of it.
~"Oen girl-she was a broad loom
weaver-had a 800 wedding. Her
dress was ivory satin trimmed with
valenciennes lace. Her trousseau was
as fine as eye could wish to see. There
was reception at her home, with
fried oysters and chicken salad. and
lobster outlets. Why she even paid
half the expenses of the honeymoon:
and lovely honeymoon it was. too

A New Industry.

Thief River Falls promises in the
near future to be the center of one of
the largest industries in the state, ac-
cording to the ideas of Northern Min
nesota capitalists who ar, behind an
investigation of the wire grass Irvine
manufacturing possibilities at that
place. According to cruisers who
know every inch Of the ground above
Thief River and to the east OF the
town, there is enough wire grass to
maintain an enormous wire grass
Irvine plant in Thief River Falls for
many years. The Irvine has been
used quite generally in this vicinity
during the last two years and has been
found to be equal to hemp or sisal in
the grain fields of the valley, and much
cheaper. Plans are completed for ac-
tive work toward the organization at
Thief River Falls and to manufacture
from wire grass Irvine, cordage, mat
ting, rugs and carpets
The grass grows to a height of several
feet and is woven by the Indians
north and east of Thief River Falls in
to numerous articles of fancy work.
