Eccentric Wedding

Married life may not always be undi-
luted bliss, but probably no bridegroom
ever entered Il under such mournful
conditions as the son OF a Siberian mil
liOnaire called Ligurin, who took 10
himself a wife the other day. The mil
HOnaire. who died recently, left his son
a colossal fortune on one condtion-that
II he married he should go through the
ceremony IN sackcloth and ashes. This
condition was faithfully observed, for
when Ligurian stood with his bride at
the altar i few weeks ago ne wore an
apron Of sackcloth and his head was
literally covered with ashes.
The village Of DurufOTd, South Wits,
was, a short time since, the scene Of a
novel wedding The bride. Miss Pinck-
.-ney. is q keen follower OF the Tedworth
hounds, and twice during the ceremony
1 the pack raced IN fun cry through the
churchyard. while the fox was killed
near the brides home just on her return
! from the church, and his brush was
presented TO her as an appropriate we'd
ding gift. The sporting wedding re-
minds one that a few years ago a SOM
ersetEhIre bride was escorted 10 Dull
set Staghounds, while the Taunton Vale
FOXhOundS accompanied the wedding
party back TO COmbe. The Two packs
, were treated 10 a substantial and appe-
tlzlng breakfast as reward for their
gallantry.

Fat Women and
The Thin Ones

There is a class Of women whose con-
slant occupation in life Is trying To
reduce their flesh by every method, Sc
cret or otherwise. known to human in
vention. And If one wants to learn how
far human scorn can reach and just how
much wrath a single feminine eye can
hold he has but TO allude. IN the pres
ence OF one Of these ladies. 70 the fact
that she is gaining in weight. Why is
avoirdupois considered 50 reprehensible.
and why should A young lady Of other
wise charming disposition and refined
temperament be looked upon with so
much sympathy II she tip the scale at

There are, of course, certain advantages
IN thil girls which must not be over
looked. For one thing, a thin girl can
be easily lifted Up and placed on ones
Ian and held thus for hours without per-
soual inconvenience. when a fat girl
would be simply uncomfortable 70 any one
but a professional strong man. But, ad-
hitting this. every other point IS against
her. Not only do they absorb enormous
quantities OF expensive food, but one
feels a personal responsibility about see
ing that they are well fed. The anx-
iety expended over a thin girl for fear
she viii get too thin is a great strain on
any lover. The fat girl, on the other
hand. never arOuses the slightest
thought Of uneasiness. She eats
sparingly. and, indeed. one has the
comfortable feeling that IL cast away
with her on a desert island she could
subsist upon herself for an indhnlte
time. or. at any rate, until relief came.
In contrast, imagine the predicament OF
