and the honor maids gowns shown In the
Illustration was in cream white, pale
blue and very soft, delicate pink. The
bridesmaids frock sketched at the right
was of pale blue chiffon cloth, trimmed
with white shell lace, which was ar
ranged In a hchulike drapery down the
skirt and on the bodice. The sleeves were
puffs of the chiffon cloth and lace, with
square cap of the white shell lace
falling over the tops. The hats were OF
pale blue chip. with an inch and half
wide bias band of black moire as a
facing on the under brim. Long pale blue
plumes were used as trimming, the end
OF the plume being hidden by a single
large pale pink rose with foliage. The
bouquets were OF pale pink roses with
maidenhair fern foliage.
The frock OF the maid of honor was OF
white marquisette, trimmed with lace and
hand embroidery. The skirt was made
with gracefully cut overskirt The two
side sections of this over drapery were
Joined by a panel of the material with a
wide band Of lace at the bottom. A
design In hand embroidery was placed on
this panel The bodice showed hand en-
broidery In pale pinks and faded greens.

lace and carried long handled parasols of
pale blue. Large hats of white Neapoli-
tan trimmed with pale blue plumes were
worn, the costume of the maid of honor
being a duplicate, except that the gown
and hat were all white, with touches of
green.
To return to a discussion of the BRIDES
robe, the Princess mode is still preferred,
although many of the newest models
show suggestion of Empire lines, espe-
cinlly in the back. These Empire princess
frocks are, however, rather difficult of
achievement, so unless ones dressmaker
is an expert, it is wiser to select de-
sign where the bodice and skirt are
made separately, the line of union being
so arranged that princess effect Is
gained.
One point TO be remembered Is that
no matter how intricate the detail and
trimming of the bridal gown its outline
or silhouette, as one may say, should
be of severe simplicity. The charm of
the bridal veil Is decidedly marred when
1t falls over a gown with too many

In discussing BRIDES and bridesmaids
finery, first in Importance, of course, is
the wedding gown itself, and although
the traditional white satin IL probably al
ways in first favor, for a spring or sum
mer wedding various other materials, such
as chiffon, sheer silks, crepe de chine,
mousseline and other thin stuffs, may be
selected with charming results.
OF course, in deciding the material and
style of the wedding gown much depends
on the kind of wedding to be arranged
for Where the ceremony is to take place
in a large city church and there will be
a retinue of bridesmaids and ushers, the
more formal white satin is generally
selected, although very youthful brides,
even in such cases, often prefer the sheer
er materials.
For instance, the wedding gown de-
signed for a smart wedding lately was
an exquisite creation of sheerest lingerie
material, eaborately trimmed with hand
embroidery, tiny hand-run tucks, and in
set lace The bridesmaids wore trailing
frocks of pale blue French null and

Business Philosophy.

Be better than yourself, rather than
better than others.
Advertisements will bring patrons, but
only square dealing can hold them.
You say So-and-So succeeds because
he Is a 'jollier;" but look closer and
you'll find some better quality is respon-
sibe.
Don't harass your boss with trining
suggestions. Wait until you have one
great idea-then make it count.
Many man spends his time kicking
against the trusts when he ought to be
reading the Business Chances ads in
his newspaper.
The man who thinks he can drink
steadily and succeed in business Is some
thing like the acrobat who does not use
a net. When they fall they never get
up again.

Railroads Now Use BertiIIon System to
 Identify Workers.

Ire railroad companies are adding the Bertilon system of moas,1rpmont To their identification card method of blacklisting employees vho incur their displeasure, writes Joseph F. Buchan an i'll the New York Journal. The iCcD- tlflcation card was intended to prevent Workman who engaged ill a strike against one railway company e. Wi.a Was particularly active as unioa ae:- tator from securing employment With another company.
 Men who knew themselves to l.. under the ban have got around t,!a Identification card by changing tMois' names, by changing a bearded face to a smooth face, or vice versa, by dye ing their hair or by some other simple method of disguise. Nothing so clSy will go any more. The Bertillon sys- tenn of measurement, which is used by nearly every country in the world for tie Identification of criminals, is to re- place or, rather, supplement- the card system.
 The Southern Pacific railway is tl4e first to adopt tue improved method. Word comes from St. Louis that orders have been issued by the officials 0r tl4e Southern Pacific to measure all black smiths, marhinSts, boilermakers. ear workers and other shop men by tie Bertillon system. It is reasonable to suppose that similar orders will he
 
 ways and that the system will soon be in force wherever the card system Is now used, which means upon prae- tically all the railways in the country.

Your weak knecd uniOnist and pessi- mistic laborite will sec the end of the railway unions in this latest move of the managers.
 Cheer up brothers. The labor move ment has encountered and overcome worse obstacles than the Bertillon measurement system.

International Federation of Labor.

To unite the labor unions throughout the world. that it may give and re- ceive information. and to act solidly in the matter of influencing governments in the direction of international agree ments are the objects of the Interna- tional Federation of Labor. which eX- ists at present only on the European continent. Our American organization has hitherto sent fraternal delegates to the British trades union congress, and the American Federation of Labor has no other affiliation with European la- bor organizations. But" says Joseph R. Buchanan, an old printer and able economic writer. "the time will coa.e when there will be an alliance of laoe!' embracing the organizations of t,c whole world. It will not come tomor- row or the next day. but 1t will come when the solidarity of labor in each country is established and has become the intense movement to which it is fast tending"

 At one time there were half a hun- dred cooperative window glass com panies formed by the workingmen in the Indiana gas belt It is reportel that practically all of these undertak- ings have failed. So far as known not one of them ever made money. The cause of the failures was in the ineX- men, They could make the product. but in buying materials and maketing stock they fell short. They were at q disadvantage when placed in compe- titon with the concerns which possess ed plenty of capital and were man. aged by trained business men.
 Another reason which contributed to the failure of the cooperative concerns was the failure of the supply of nat ural gas, upon which they placed their reliance for fuel They had not the capital to meet the necessary changes in methods of manufacture It is also claimed that in some instances glass was reduced to ruinous prices in the market because the cooperative con cerns were compelled to sell at loss to raise money when sorely needed.
 The theory of cooperation in prodnc- tion Is sound. But in practice it must be prepared to meet conditions in the commercial world under circumstances at least as favorable as those which surround the private institution. In other words. cooperation must fight its battle at the arena of competition.

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Ny Dear Mr.. Watson: Your card
in regard to Bethany was received to-
day.
My cousin, Young J. Allen, came
over yesterday and l showed him my
Bethany. He glanced over few
pages, became so interested he bought
the other volume in order to finish
the story. Will forward the money
($1.25) tomorrow. Young Allen and
the Young j. Allen of China mission
ary fame are first cousins and Young
thinks that he equals any one in ad
miration for you. Everyone is
charmed with my Bethany and when
it is picked up it is almost impossi-
BILE to lay it down, even when duty
calls us. I want to see it in every
home throughout this country.
There's none better written. The
battle scenes are so vivid one can
hear almost every sound.
You give the best picture Of the
"before the war" days I ever read.
Ny father, who is an old veteran and
who was present at many of the bat
ties you mention, says you give the
truest, the most vivid and interesting
history he ever read. There is not
sentence in the entire book that is
not overhowing with life and inter
est.
Thanking you for the valued prem
ium and wishing you much success,
/ am, respectfully,

ture for the Farm Home" /"
My talk, as suggested in my former
letters to you, was of thoroughly
practical nature, and it gave me
much pleasure to mention your pub
lication and to distribute the sample
copies you so kindly sent. This
practical talk illustrated in this
practical way seemed to meet with
much appreciation and was given
rising vote of thanks by the conven-
tion-the only thing of the kind
happening during the three days
meeting. mention this because You
are entitled to large share OF that
rising vote Of thanks for without
your kind and cordial cooperation |
could not have given this talk in such
a practical manner.
And now, I want to thank you not
only in my own behalf but also in
behalf of the farm men and farm
women of North Carolina into whose
homes have gone the copies of the
publications you so kindly sent, and
I hoep that it may all result even
tually in many subscriptions for you.

downs and the brave stand you have
taken for the laboring class of peo-
pie, | can't Withstand the temptation
any longer to tell you how I appre-
ciate your efforts.
I am a native Of old Georgia and
it does my heart good to see such
men as you are fighting her battles.
I feel that you will gain the victory
yet. Oh, if we had one like you in
every state in the Union to fight the
battles Of the laboring class of peo-
pie, what change there would be!
[ can't express the admiration and
gratitude I feel toward you in your
efforts and sacrifices in our behalf
I feel that God will bless you in your
efforts.

paper, The Jeffersonian, and my hus-

My dear Sir: Enclosed you will

So, for which please send me your
magazine and weekly, as I believe
you advertise them both together for
that price. Have been getting your
magazine from the news stand when
ever I could, but they do not seem to
keep it with any regularity up here
in the smaller towns. To my notion,
it is the best secular magazine pub
lished and I feel that I cannot af-
ford to be without it.
I wish you great success in your
noble work. I was with you in spir-
it and principle years ago when a
mere lad, and am still with. you,
though prevented from taking amy
active part. But if I were in the
arena Of political life, my native in
stincts would lead me to espouse the
principles for which you are fighting.
They are the only principles that
can make a good government. But
the people are blind. The veil of ig-
norance and prejudice is over their
minds, and they either cannot or
will not see things as they actually
exist. This veil, however, is being re.
moved. That this is the case, there
are many encouraging signs. The
people that sat in darkness are be-
ginning to see great light. Your
unselfsh and colossal labors in the
interest Of the people have not been
in vain-they are beginning to bear
fruit The harvest is coming to ripe
ness, and even now you are reap
ing your reward. But in the years
to come, those sound and righteous
