BEATS WEDDING A DUKE
Prettiest Show Girl Has Bouquet of
Real Diamonds Given by New
Husband

NEW YORK, April 7.-Mildred
Jacobs, the prettiest show girl on
Broadway, was married to Samuel
Markowitz last night. When Marko-
WITT, a rich Harlem real estate broker,
proposed and was accepted after one
weeks acquaintance he began series
of attentions which made Miss Mil
dred rub her eyes and pinch herself to
make sure she was awake.
The engagement ring, a double loop
of diamonds, made her think her hap
piness was complete, but when the
next day brought another diamond
ring, just to keep the first in place,
she sat down and gasped. Pins and
hair ornaments followed, each day
bringing something new. A $4,000
touring car was succeeded by a $1,000
sable coat.
When the bride walked to the altar
in the Temple of Congregation Sons
of Israel Kalwarier she wore a prin-
cess gown of white duchesse lace,
which her husband-to-be had ordered
from Paris. Her orange blossoms
were real and six diamonds, set in
white roses, composed her bridal
bouquet. Her slippers, of white kid,
created by the man who made Alice
Roosevelts wedding shoes, shimmered
with small opals. Supper for 800 was
served at Vienna hall, 6S Lexington
avenue, after which the couple start |
ed for Havana, where the touring car
preceded them.

women claiming to be civilized and
left to savages and barbarians. No
really humane woman wants to wear
even as much as chicken feather, be-
cause all feather-wearing tends to pro-
long the fashion.
One of the most incomprehensible
things connected with the senseless
and cruel bird plume fashion is the
silence Of ministers of the Gospel.
Why can they not see that for a
woman to deck herself with the re-
suits Of cruelty and brutality Is incon-
sistent with Christian profession?
There is crying need that people
in all the churches should be told de-
finitely and specifically what applied
Christianity is. Participation in
cruelty is a sin from which protesting
Christians are far from being exempt
and it constitutes a serious and well
grounded cause for criticism among
outsiders who are humane. They
laugh at Christianity which harps
continually on Gods mercy to us, but
says little or nothing about the mercy
which we, in consequence, should
show to every living creature. Can the
justice of this criticism be denied?-

cause unless a wasting illness has pre-

Obscure influences, something un-

the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When serious stage has

that will account for it.

If man is thin he is subject to a

sympathizes with him. We are sorry

Don't say a man is no friend If he

maybe he has the old-fashioned idea
that true friend is not forever seek

Try as he may, a fat man cannot
look distressed no matter how wrong
things are going with him. For this
reason the fat man is deprived of a
lot of sympathy that is justly his. We
