ROOT-GRANT WEDDING TO
BE MOST SIMPLE AFFAIR

inclination to go the rounds seems to
prove the point.
It is understood that young Grant
has no money beyond his pay. He is
first lieutenant of engineers and his
wage Is about 1928 month. He gets
an allowance for quarters, however,
provided he is on detached duty where
there are no army quarters. The gov.
eminent will give him and his wife
three rooms to live in, or if he is away
from an army post it will give him the
equivalent of the rent of three rooms.
1t is said that Edith Root, although
the daughter of rich man, is per-
fectly capable of keeping house in
three rooms, and keeping house there
contentedly.
Lieut.. Grant has an enormously
wealthy aunt, who lives part of the
time in Chicago, but he has no expec-
tations from her, and he is too much
Of Grant to take anything if it were
offered. Elihu Roots father was a
college professor, who was earning
about $1,000 year, perhaps less, when
Elihu was boy.
1t isn't at all probable that he will
contribute largely to the household
funds of his future son-in-law. He
doubtless would prefer to let the
young couple go it alone for some time
to come. This wedding promises to be
entirely satisfactory from every in
trinsically valuable American view.
point.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1907-11-20

T probably will be a relief to the
great masses of the people to
know finally and positively that Miss
Edith Root, daughter of the secretary
of state, and Ulysses S. Grant III. are
to have an extremely simple and quiet
wedding at the home of the brides
parents on Rhode Island avenue. The
Children of the big ones, especially in
Washington, ordinarily have enough
spent on the gewgaws of their we'd
dings to keep them in household sup
plies for 10 years. The only social
affairs in Washington more costly
than funerals are the weddings.
The daughter of the secretary of
state is to marry the grandson of a
president and the greatest soldier of
his time, and few people are to be
gathered together to witness the cere-
mony. It Is a fine and an appealing
arrangement. There probably will be
a lot Of presents. Neither the bride
nor the groom, it is supposed, can
prevent the flood of gifts which the
prominence of their families will start.
Young Grant is a quiet, unassuming
studious fellow, with bent of mind
for mathematics, for he graduated
into the army's engineering corps.
The bride is girl of domestic tastes.
She has been comparatively little
known in the swirling circle of Wash
ington society. It is said that she
has good sound sense, and her dis

one who has only served his country
three years.
The senatorial and congressional
records are called in requisition and
lists made out and the length of time
men have held Office noted. The
house members are not as exacting
and little more license is permitted
them, but still an immense amount Of
form is necessary to steer clear of the
breakers Of social political life.
Diplomats are exempt to a certain
extent, as after presenting their Gre
dentials to the president they quietly
await the onslaught of visitors. It
requires discriminating foreigner or
one who has employed secretary
from the very innermost fold of the
fashionable set to tell whom to re-
ceive and whom not and to sift the
shower of cards that descend upon
him, especially If he belongs to the
diplomatic corps.
washington Is an especially easy
city for outsiders, as they have the
right of way and must call first on all
those who hold an official position.
These visits are returned and thus the
thin edge of the wedge is inserted that
leads to social distinction.

A Double Bag.

In use it is firm enough to stand up

to its general convenience.
To make the bag, fold nine inches
of the ribbon over at each end towards
the center Take a needle threaded
with silk to match the edge color and
sew the sides of the ribbons together
for distance Of six inches and half,
starting from the fold at each end.

considered as if there were nothing
at all uncommon about it. The rib

ends into crisp bow, which can be
held in place with few stitches hid

In the way Of bows or rosettes of rib
bons.
The absence Of sensible pocket in
the skirt Of fashionable dress is
sore grievance with many people.
Rather than be without pocket, they
would be pleased enough to have a
costume Of less modish cut, but such
a thing is beyond the powers of a
good dressmaker, part of whose busi-
ness 1t is to run with the times and to
make costumes as demanded by the
fashion, whether they are practical or
not. This is apt to press hardly upon
middle-aged and elderly ladies' and
they are obliged to resort to the expe-
dent Of attaching pocket to the out
side of their skirts in which to keep
the various trifles that are in most
frequent use.
The making of such a pocket affords
an opportunity for turning to account
about three-quarters Of a yard Of soft
black satin reversible ribbon five
inches and half wide. The pocket
has an inner compartment in which
a small purse may be slowed away,
the handkerchief being carried in the
outer division. Cut off five inches and
a half of the ribbon. Hem it along
each of the cut edges, and lay it on
the main piece of the ribbon, so that
it's lower margin is 13 inches and a
half from one end. Stitch it down
along the bottom edge and, for the
present, tack it to the sides of the
foundation ribbon. as We may call it.

Tor the dolls head to slip through.
The two ends should be fringed out
to the depth Of half an inch. The
under part of the pinholder, which
does not show when the whole thing
is hung up, consists of strip of thick
flannel, both narrower and shorter
than the ribbon. It should be either
vandyked at the edges or should be
over-sewn with fancy buttonholing.
The dolls head is slipped first
through the hole in the flannel, then in
the opening in the ribbon. Take three
yards Of three-eighths of an inch white
satin ribbon and cut the length in
three. Tie one piece round the dolls
waist to make q sash, arranging part
OF this as a loop by which the holder

II Doesn't Pay to Talk About tho

Don't talk to me about careless

body is careless about something, and
it doesn't behoove people in glass
houses to throw stones. It's only that
certain ones of us-myself included
have most distressing habit of being
found out, and so we are made scape-
goats for general sin. I am careless
and it's very bad trait, am free
to admit-about social obligations,
keeping up calls, sending cards and
ill that sort of thing. I know it is 4
lack in my makeup, but realize that
my being reproached all the time for
1t is because my sins of omission are

thought that those who set themselves

ably decidedly careless about things
