w. G. Fullegar OF the Canon City Gas
company. was thrown from her horse
while out riding this morning and had
her right arm broken between the
wrist and elbow. Miss Fullegnr. who
Is a skilled horsewoman, was unac-
Quainted with the peculiarities OF her
mount and to that fact attributes her
misfortune. The animal, which be-
longs to one OF the livery stables, has
a habit of turning In the most unex-
pected directions and that eccentricity
led to Miss Fullegar's undoing. She
was galloping along one of the main
driveways In Harding's addition. with
no thought of danger. when the horse
suddenly turned up side street.
throwing her heavily to the ground.
Miss Fullegar's plight was witnessed
by a resident of the neighborhood and
she was carried into a house nearby
and physician summoned TO make an
examination OF her injuries. Subse-
quently she was taken to her home on
Greenwood avenue. Miss Fullegar
was rendered unconscious by the
force OF the fall.

RESORTED TO A RUSE TO
AVOID THEIR FRIENDS

The members of the Rogers-Ritten-
house bridal party executed a neat
strategem about 1 o'clock Monday a..
M, to avoid the usual shower of rice,
luck with which their friends had ar
ranged to pelt them when they board
ed the Denver & Rio Grande. train on
their departure for California. Half
or three-quarters of an hour in ad-
vance of the time for starting to. the
railway station the bride and groom,
with three or four of their immediate
friends, succeeded in making their
exit from the Rogers home, where a
reception was being held for the newly
married couple, and hastened to an
appointed rendezvous where Mr.. and
Mrs Fritz Reynolds were waiting in
the darkness with their motor car to
take them to Florence, where Mr.. and
Mrs Rittenhouse could board the train
without molestation.
The departure of the wedding party
from the house was not discovered in
time to forestall the success of the
subterfuge, and before its significance
was realized Mr.. and Mrs. Rittenhouse
were being whiled away in the direc-
tion of Florence, where they arrived
in ample season for their train. II
was a nicely planned and well exc
cuted affair and the joke was enjoyed
by all, particularly by the members
of the bridal party.

NOTES ON A WEDDING.

No man ever wanted a church we'd
perfectly happy to have the ceremony
performed by Squire Logan, or very
quietly done in the pastors study. He
might even be satisfied with a quiet
home wedding with a few friends pres
ent, but the bride always, or nearly
always, wants a big church wedding
with a lot of potted plants and white
ribbons.
The man sends out half a dozen in
vitations to old chums, while the bride
takes the city directory and mails out
seven hundred invitations.
l suppose a church wedding is all
right. It's about the only time in her
whole life the bride has her full say
and Is the center of attraction in a
large and admiring audience. It's her
day and the man gives in. He ought
to, for he will have the center of the
stage for the rest of his life and he
can afford to be generous on this oc-
casion.
Church weddings are all alike. The
newspaper reports, written up for one
might be kept in type. merely chang
ing the dates and names for future
weddings. Even the descriptions OF
the dresses will fit In many future ac-
counts.
Men all pretend that they don't like
to attend weddings. and many do not.

wedding she was invited to II she

John Komfella Of Chandler is a pris-

last week. Mr.. Locke had occasion to
visit Chandler on Sunday and was

Sortably warm, he took on his coat
not far from the home of Komfella.

that he might better enjoy the ride.

could get there, SO In wedding audi
ences women usually predominant.
l wonder what makes women cry
at wedding? 1 have never been able
to figure it out. 1t looks like it ought
to be time for rejoicing.
Yet perhaps the women who cry
have no reason to rejoice over a we'd
ding. Many women certainly have
not. 1t may bring back sad memories
Of blasted hopes and broken faith.
| In all weddings the man gets the
best of the deal. 1t is the woman who
you figure out the possibilities Of fall
ures and disappointments there is a
sad feature to'it.
Then the manager of the wedding
usually adds to the sadness in the air
| by his arrangements.
He has you sit there for half hour
waiting. Finally the organist starts
up in a slow sad strain and you wait
still quietly, expectantly. After a
while he strikes in on the wedding
march and then everybody turns
around to see the grand entree.
The groom with his heralds and sec
onds comes in at one door. The grbom
is supported by his best man, who
leads him up looking as much like a
condemned man approaching his exc
cution as it would be possible to imi-
tate.
While the groom and his attaches
are coming in, the bridesmaids, ma
irons and flower girls. and finally the
bride, enter at another door.
The lights are dimmed, the music
becomes slower, and the duel process
sion proceeds at a gait that would
make corpse nervous, and the strain
is about equal on the principals and
the audience.
| While the groom is supported and
surrounded by bodyguard of strong
men, the bride usually makes the tor
tuous slow walk all alone. 1t Is GER
tainly a difficult stunt. What II she
would lose her balance as she holds
that dainty, white-slippered, nervous
little foot in the air waiting for the
next slow step? / never cease to mar.
