FOR The sRIDE's TABLE.

A pretty arrangement and adorn'
ment of the tables have everything TO
do with the rooms good appearance
Small ones. set out In horseshoe shape'

for the good omen OF the arrangement
some one with poetic understanding
of the truth that the wife Is the
warmth and light of a household. as
well as its center. simply grouped the
tables about the hearth. the brides 8
being nearest to It. Placing the Ia
bles on a circle. with the brides In
the center. looks we'll. especially when
hers Is directly under the chandelier
and garlands radiate from the latter
TO each OF the other tables. THIS
decoration can be used. however. only
when there are not too many points OF
attachment in the circle and when the
garlands are fastened to the highest
part OF the chandelier. II there are
too many strands. or they are put too
low down. they will surely interfere
with the bridal party.
A glass vase completely wound with
white satin ribbon and filled with
white sweet peas. giant white sweet
alyssum and maidenhair ferns makes
n lovely and unusual centerpiece for
the table given up TO the wedding
party Unless the cloth Is OF lace the
vase should be set ON lace dolly
and bit OF the fern laid about Its
base to distinguish 1t more clearly
from the dolly. The vase. slender and
absolutely smooth OF surface. and at
least ten inches high. should be close
ly wound with two.inch ribbon and
II fancled n bow may be tied low down
on the stem. a little fitting and a
few stitches are needed to cover the
base and the lip of the vase.
A little white satin slipper overflow
ing with blossoms and resting on a
bed OF them is n dainty decoration for
all the tables at n wedding feast II one
cares to buy 20 many slippers.
Again. for the bride n triple array
OF flower baskets is charming. and the
same decorative scheme can be car
ried out In single baskets on the other
tables. When this Is used the middle

are brought down TO smaller iow-han

CHAPTER KIN.
No Indictment.

No Indictment.
'sYou. rs grand jurors for the body
of this county. do solemnly swear that
you will diligently inquire and a true
presentment make OF all such matters
and things as shall be given you in
charge; the states counsel. your fel-
lows. and your own you shall Keep
secret: you shall present no man Tor
envy. hatred. or malice: neither shall
you have any unpresented for love

ward; but you shall present things
truly as they come to your knowledge
according TO the best of your under
standing. So help you God.
The above oath, taken verbatim,
which is administered to the grand
Juror. is bar to any questioning or
real knowledge OF the proceedings in
cideni TO the case OF Vane Hamilton,
which was presented before them.
The result only was known: and as II
would have awakened great excite
ment to have known that an indict'
ment had been found against Nane
Hamilton. II occasioned equal stir to
learn that none had been brought.

HOW TO WEAR THE HAIR
Velvet Ribbons and Ornaments of Va
rious Kinds Are Again the FASH
ion for Ny Lady's Tresses.

Something in the hair Is again one
OF the must haves. For day wear the
black velvet ribbon is beginning to
rival the elaborate set OF combs. II Is
put on two ways, either as a s1ooi
hidden at the sides OF the low rolled
hair. or It is tied around the high knot
with bow in front.
a bunch of little curls in,ermixci d
with n pun or two is the fashionable
knot, and 1t is done at an exaggerated d
height and in the evening Is tied
around with colored velvet ribbon
to match the gown. The sight o, this
hairdressing is "a welcome relief from
the low dressings with the rolled
pompadour and line of combs.

Mrs. Hamilton is more prudent
since her husbands return. She does
not go to the Frys now. so Mrs. Tay'

"Oh, he does. There is no question

Fry herself about Mr.. Hamilton's re-
turn when Edes was combing his hair
by the little glass in the kitchen. They
were so excited at first that they did
not notice until he started TO go up
to his room. His face was as white
as a sheet. Mrs. Green said, and he
looked more like corpse than n liv-
ing man. He never came down that
night, she found out by asking Mrs.
Fry. and the next morning when he

with her husband were OF the most
constrained order and her interest in
Edes unabated-augmented indeed:
for she knew he was miserable on her
account. and pity was so ingrained
in her nature that she could feel for
his woes as though they were her
own.
One day she chanced to meet him
face 20 face as she was going down
the street and he was returning from
the mill When he saw her he put out
his hand with an eloquent gesture to
stop her.
"Constance-Mrs. Hamilton. has he
come back?'
Yes. | suppose So"
He did not notice the strangencss of
her reply. but turned away his head
with groan. seemingly wrung from

SELLING RAPIDLY
AT the Special Sale Now in
Progress at Luke's

This being the first day Of our spe-
cial piano sale we did not expect
to sell very many pianos, but we
sold six new instruments. Two of
these were shipped out of the city,
one going to party near Fort Worth.
We received the order by wire. This
only proves our statement made in
yesterdays paper that our prices dur
ing this sale are less than those made
by anymusic house in the southwest
If we sell only as many instruments
each day of the sale as we did today
our stock of SO pianos will be all
gone before March 2nd. OF the num-
ber Of callers today not one was dis
appointed, but all admit that no such
money saving opportunity was ever
offered the people of Indian Territory
Now by bargains we don't mean cheap,
trashy pianos at proportionately
cheap price, but we mean good. hon
est, dependable pianos of known
worth and reputation and at prices
less than sold by the manufacturers.
We want to ctr your special atten-
ton to four of the swellest, most dain.
ty pianos you ever saw. Two of these
are "Kingsbury" pianos. in genuine
mahogany and golden oak cases, very
latest style, beautifully constructed
