Wedding Etc uette.

The father and mother of the bride,
as hostess and host in their own
home, welcome the guests before the
ceremony; after that the bride first,
then the groom, the maid Of honor and
the maids, then the men of the party;
after them the parents Of the bride
and groom. However, the receiving
line soon dwindles down to the inter
ested couple; the others mingle with
the guests, especially the men, whose
duty it is to see that people are duly
presented to the bride and groom and
that the way Of approach is kept clear.
This is accomplished by seeing that
the refreshment room is kept filed
and that guests are introduced.

the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle There is in the Selly Oak Workhouse an inmate named John George Stratton.

 Stratton is 90 years of age and his third wife. who is with him in the institution. is 67, His thirty-three children are scat tered all over the world and none is in a position to assist the father His first child was born two months after Queen Victoria came to the throne It was a girl, who has now attained the age of 69, and lives in London. His young est child is 24. so it will be seen there is
 difference between the first and last of

Great Demsnd for Jewelry.

The great consumption of gold in the arts will keep up as long as prosperity
 continues. or until it is no longer fash ionable or pleasant to wear jewelry. h
 case of a panic, when luxuries must wait, there is an appreciable slump in che Use
 of the precious metals in the arts When
 a long continued public calamity, sucn as
 a war. drives prices up, there is a oa sk- ward movement and gold in all sorts of
 shapes is brought back to the assay office
 to be converted into coin. This occurred shortly after the civil war in New York, and much rich jewelry and pla,e found, is way to Wall street. But ta;s return of
 the gold would have little effect in inc

 Money Market.

From the New York Sun.
 Few people realize that the Americans are becoming q jewelry loving people. yet 1t is fact that their bent for personal adornment is today so highly developed that the enormous quantities of precious metals required the industrial arts and the consequent proportionate withdrawal of the metals from the currency and from deposit vaults The increasing use of gold especially is presenting a problem that is assuming not only interesting but Evening Sun.
 The problem is not novel nor without It's economic basis and explanation, for it is as old as barter itself. but perhaps never before has currency been SO severely taxed or the stock of gold so threatened with depletion.
 The manufacture of the basal metal into non-currency media in this country is to- day going on at the rate of about $35,0oO.- GOO a year. The subtraction of this enor- nous amount of gold for manufacturing purpose is bound. experts say, to have a more or less adverse effect on circulation. Not only that. but it also does away with four times that amount of credit In short, the actual gold going into the lux uries of the American people is withdraw ing from financial operations at least s14O,0 .000.
 The struggle to keep enough money in circulation has been a constant one Many causes tend to bring about a strngency that has 10 be artificially relieved. Whether the time will ever come in this country when banking officers will be compelled to restrict the amount of pre- cious metals used in the arts no expert would be willing to say.

Withdrawal of Gold Serious.

The difficulty in showing the relation between the consumption of gold in the arts and the contraction of currency and the raising of rates is due to the fact that all these phenomena are often coin cident rather than casual or consequent ttal. Last year saw extremely high rates and at the same time a record breaking withdrawal of gold for manufacturing purposes. Financial experts differ as to the degree in which one was interdepend ent on the other. Yet that they were somewhat interdependent few care to deny And still fewer deny that should the present subtraction of the metal from bullion and currency go on at the pres ent rate or any increased rate, the rela- ton would not only become more appar- ent. but also present situation that would call for some pretty stringent ac- tion.
 The remarkable increase in the use of gold in the industrial arts, however. indicates the present prosperity of the country. Should that prosperity for any reason cease or diminish. the manufacture of luxuries would fall off to a greater or lesser degree. thus insuring automati- cally the operation of the economic law of supply and demand and permit a greater surplus to accumulate in the va rious institutions of deposit.
 At present, however, the demand for gold for manufactories goes on merrily and at a rate that will mean the con- sumption of an amount approximating $35, ,0O0,000 at the end of the calendar year Of this great amount so large a propor- tion is used in or near New York city that figures for the metropolis are practi- cally figures for the country. About one tenth of the gold used in manufactures
 is supplied by Philadelphia and pos sibly half that quantity by western cities In other words, New York issues fully s. per cent of the gold bars needed in the arts.
