Wedding Anniversaries.

The first wedding anniversary is
properly the cotton wedding day,
though some brides of year make it
rose or flower wedding, and others
call il a paper wedding. The second
anniversary is properly the paper
wedding, while the third is the leath-
er wedding. This is significant of
the fact that the tie is strong enough
to last two years. The next anniver-
sary that has special attribute is
the fifth or wooden wedding. Then
follows a gap utill the seventh ami
versary, which is celebrated as a,
wooden wedding.
The tenth anniversary is called
d'etain-the tin wedding. The twelfth,
silk and fine linen. The crystal we'd
ding comes after fifteen years, and
the china celebrates twenty years of
welded happiness. The twenty-ffth,
or silver anniversary, is the most com

known as the golden wedding" The
sixtieth anniversary is often celebrat-
ed as the diamond wedding, though
it does not come really until seventy
five years have been rounded out.
AS few people live long enough to
have "real' anniversary at seventy
five years, the sixtieth anniversary is
celebrated in its stead.
Odd numbers are often celebrated
in any way one sees fit. For instance,
an onion reception and banquet was
the novel entertainment provided by
a college professor and his wife not
long ago in honor of their sixteenth
wedding anniversary. The house was
decorated with onion blossoms, there
were onion blossoms for the centre

When Mrs. Nichols went to Glou-

quaint little cottage and found the
old woman rather more bent than
last year and looking a good deal
older as she tottered along her little
garden leaning on a stick.

O the univarse can't break up the
feelin'."
1t seemed an indisputable, If disap-
pointing, fact, and Martin led his party
back to the hermit's home once more.
Another plan was now considered
by Martin-to buy the township, or at
least a large tract enclosing this lake,
build a more commodious log cabin for
the use of himself and his wife, and
spend a portion Of each summer there.
There were several reasons other than
those of affection for this decision.
This lake, perhaps half a mile in
diameter, teemed with trout. The low
mountains enclosing it were thickly
covered with fine spruce and fir,
groves Of pine with some beech and
birch grew in the valleys; deer, moose
and feathered game abounded here,
and best of all, no vandal lumbermen
ever encroached upon this region.
1t was, all considered, a veritable
