Don is for Brides

ONT worry yourself thin and miserable
RD over your trousseau. 1t is due to your
ec=5ssrf.-1 future husband that you should look as
t11agYJ happy and pretty possible on your
wedding day.
Don't leave the ordering of your frocks so late
as to be needlessly worried the last few DAYS.
Your time and attention will be fully occupied
with the hundred.and-one small matters that turn
up at the last moment.
Don't sit up "till any hour of the night" the
day before the wedding Try to 60 to bed in
really good time so that you may be as fresh as
possible in the morning.
Don't, in the hurry and bustle of preparation
the day before, neglect to eat proper meals Such
a proceeding is apt to result in headache next
day.
Don't eat indigestible food The inevitable ex
element is apt to upset even the strongest Sc

130 to 1876 rubles yearly, or from S65 to $40
The extremes are very great Thus, the women

A brown paper pattern of an ordinary waist

ounces of dark and three ounces of light wool
would be required-a long bone crochet needle

smashed to splnters by its terrific i'm

railroad men regard as little more than
mere chance there were no passengers
