when Mr.. Field escorted Mr.. Osborne
out, and the door closing behind them.
the ladies were at liberty to come

laughed herself, and chatted, and
looked not SO ugly after all. And Mr..

might spy upon Miss Garner as she

Now, there was one thing in the
world for which Christina Field lived
and moved and had her being, and
that was jewelry. In her bedroom at
the little uptown house she had a
small strong safe built into the wall.
and the key of that safe never left
her possession. Her diamonds were
not imperial, still they we're valuable.
and had been mounted to her own in
structions, and she had a ruby brace
let for which many a fairly honest
woman would have risked her soul.
When an opportunity arose for Ma
dame Christina to don her glittering
treasures she was happy; when there
were women present to envy them
she became positively radiant.
In obedience to this ruling passion,
Christina-dressing for the early din
ner at which Stephen Osborne was to
meet Miss Stella Garner. and which
was to be followed by visit to the
theater-clasped about her white
throat and dainty arms some five
thousand dollars worth of precious
stones. Very we'll she looked, too,
did Christina. when she took her
place at the head of the table and
beamed on the ugly Miss Garner, the
admiring Stephen Osborne and the
complacent Thaddeus.

Curious National Customs obssrvsd

A double wedding IN the Russian
colony at Rosedalc. 8. D.. south Of

day and into the evening. The names
Of the principals were Joseph Mandel

first and being followed by the young
men. The ceremony proper was spok-
on in Russian. and lasted but . short
time. II was followed by prayer
and song and then brides and BRIDE
grooms returned to their separate
seats.
The bridal costumes OF the couples
were very simple, the maidens wear
ing nannelette gowns with a hand
kerchef tied over their heads. The
bridegrooms. however, were dressed
little more fastidiously. in that they
wore regular wedding suits, chief Of
which was long coat. A peculiarity
about the coat Is that It is worn by
every bridegroom In the settlement,
two coats being kept in the settlement
In case Of double wedding. and
whether the bridegroom be tall or
short. large or small. the coat must
do its duty.
With the ceremony over, the guests
and the bridal couples went to the
eating house. where big dinner com.

sauerkraut, whiskey and wine was
served. The women occupied one
long table and the men another. but
the bridal couples were allowed to sit
together. With the dinner over came
the interesting part OF the ceremony.

Again stripped of its technicaIities,
the situation resolves itself into this:
that the federal courts arc aiding
and abetting the railroads in suits
against The state, in violation Of the
federal constitution and the organic
law of every other civilized govern
ment.
These are facts, set forth, not in
passionate remonstrance, not in
grounded hostility to the judicial
branch of the federal government, but
in conformity with the teachings Of
reason, equity and common sense.
Thus presented, they are entitled to
consideration, and the people os
Georgia, in common with the people
of Alabama and North Carolina and
Virginia. feel that the facts should
receive such consideration. The jul
dicial decisions of a state, rendered
after a full hearing, should not be
nullified on the ex parte evidence Of
corporation lawyers, appealing to the
federal courts on the trite subterfugp
Of "confscation," and the settle
ment of the questions involved should
be on this basis Of justice and fair
ness.

cial interest in The matter, and are
