parents are expected to buy her trousseau, furni-

day of the wedding these things are exhibited, but
at the bridegroom's house.
Though in Switzerland no matchmaking is done,
a young man must often prove to the girl he is
worthy of asking for her hand. The girls always
have the privilege of saying Yes No" though
in places the choice of a bridegroom ais re-
sricted 10 their own locality. In some districts
a man must lead the goats up and down the noun
tain to show the girl he can work for her In other
towns where the hayng is done it is his part to
stack up all the hay and pile it into the barn.
Though she helps him in his long hours of toll. he
is expected to do most of the work. Still he tolls
on bravely, feeling that he is being rewarded sufi-
GENTLY by pleasant word, a friendly smile, and
that If the work is well done he has chance to win
her as his wife,

she is going to have new dresses and great deal

An important part of the ceremony is to give

his mother approves, and she is usually chosen
from the young women of their own clan But
when they cannot find girl in the village who
pleases them they seek among other clans
But the young man is supposed to be too timid to
court alone the girl whom his mother chooses, and
so he usually takes several friends with him. 1t is
their duty to sing the girls praises in the hope Of
giving him courage to carry on the courtship
But the formal engagement must take place in
the presence of the head man. 1t Is before him that
the young man hands over the sum he has agreed
to give the girls father. This varies according to
what he afford, the beauty of the bride and
their social position. The bride usually buys the
trousseau with the money the young gives

Do You Want to Be Thin?.

If the woman who is bound and de-
termined to grow thin would realize
that in her efforts she is often adding
FIVE or six years to her appearance by
letting her face get too thin, she would
be more content with her own figure.
When too much flesh is removed from
the face the skin becomes wrinkled
and creased and often bags in an I'M
becoming manner. A thin face is a
great deal older looking than a plump
face unless, of course. there are sever
al double chins, so 1t really is tossup
which one prefers, youthful figure or
youthful contour of face. AS woman
grows older 1t is almost invariably be.

be made at home are in shape all

base, where they set well over the
hair. They are made of rufiie of lace
edged muslin, preferably plated or
fluted. Three of these rufiles run
down, two up the side of the hat. A
tiny embroidered rose stem with here

every girl must marry, whether she will or not.

was that case of the general store man

down, and, because his stock was so
heavy, the company disputed his claim.
I remember one item in his stock list
1850 mourning hatbands. When |
came to this item l thumped it with
my pencil and said to the storekeeper
severely:
"'Look here, this is unreasonable.
Why should you have had 1850
mourning hatbands in stock? What
possibility was there that death would
create in single small shop like yours
a demand for 1880 mourning hat
bands?
"The storekeeper smiled at me in a
condescending way and replied:

men who grieved for the death of rela-
tives or friends, but for men who went
into mourning for the grease on their
hats boston Globe.
