OLD INDIAN MARRIAGE
Unique Marriage Customes of Hopi Pueblo and Navajo Indians Maya
 jos Ceremony More Elaborate

Marriage among the Hopi, a tribe of Pueblo Indians, is an insti- tuition regarding which those most concerned have least to say. When the parents of the girl find it expe- dient for her to get married. they look up an available man and nego- tiate with his parents. After the matter has been arranged, t h e principals are notified, the girl goes to the home of the groom s parents and grinds corn for them for three weeks, while the groom makes a kind of sash tor the bride. Then one morning at sun rise they both bathe their heads in cold water, which completes the ceremony. There have been in stances of the groom's refusing to go through the performance, which has been proceeded without him and been accounted valid, and sev- eral weeks later he has yielded and had his head bathed.
 The Navajo ceremony is much more elaborate and impressive. but then the Navajo girls are much nlc- CT. The regular tariff on a Navajo girl, entering the port of matri- mony for the first time is twelve horses. On the second occasion the tax is nine horses, while the subse- quent entries are free.
 This is not purchase money. but is merely tribute of respect to a mother .in-law and token of ap preciation of the care and expense involved in bearing and rearing the lady, a recognition not unwor- thy of consideration by civilized grooms. On the other hand, and deserving of great condemnation, is that law of many tribes. unwrit- ten but of much sancity. that a man and his mother in.law shall never meet after the ceremony. From "Some Indians. Past and Present. v by A. w. Dlmock in Outing Maga- zine.
 After marriage among the Maya jos. it is said that the mother.in- law must never look upon the face of her son-in.law but by custom is expected to turn her back or cover her face if meeting cannot be avoided. The time honored joke about the mother-in- law should fol- low this, but in this case the old squaw has our sympathy.

s. HROVER CLEVELAND is seventy-one years old today. It is
NJ almost sixteen years since he was elected President. He is.
the only living exp eStdent. He is the only Democratic
President serving since Buchanan. He is the only man in the list Of

Asked by the New York World the following question:
"Wbat is the best brintipe and ubat The best policy to gree the
Democratic party aetU Me?"
Grover Cleveland sent the following answer today:
"AS a general proposition might answer this question by say
ing that IN my opinion this could be most surely brought about by a
return to genuine Democratic doctrine and a close adherence to the
Democratic policies which in times past gave our party success and
benefited our people.
"To be more specific in my reply, should say that more than
ever Just at this time the Democratic party should display honest and
sincere conservatism, a regard for constitutional limitations and a
determination not to be swept from our moorings by temporary
cla4nor or spectacular exploitation.
.Our people need rest and peace and reassural ice; and it
will be quite in line with true Democracy and successful policy to
impress upon our fellow countrymen the fact that Democracy still
stands for those things.

TWO IDEAS FOR sUNsHADEs.
Pretty Trimming That Need Not Be
In Any Way Costly.

A plain sunshade of habutai rivals
the handsomest Of its kind when lined
by mousseline de sole to which
splashy cretonne roses are sewn.
When the parasol is folded, no one
would imagine II to be anything but
white, but when II is opened and the
sun shines through the thin materials,
the cover seems 10 have faint design
of roses, almost invisible and alto
gether alluring.
Any one can carry out the idea by
buying a white parasol and lining It.
Not many roses need be used; In fact,
only a few-just a suggestion-give
the prettiest effect. They are best
placed in a row about three inches
above the edge of the sunshade, and
about two on each panel are quite suf-
ficient. This makes 16 in all for the
average parasol.
For a more elaborate sunshade, the
outer border might be formed of large
roses, and toward the stick the flow
ers might become smaller, thus max.
ing a decoration FOR the whole. Great
care must be taken in choosing the
flowers that the effect is not overdone
ard made ordinary.

while slipping the fingers of the glove

try to insert all fingers at once. First
turn back the glove, leaving the thumb
