Pointed Paragraphs.
From the Chicago NewsO

(F'rom the Chicago News.)
Some small men manage to acquire
big monuments.
Be sure you are right and then keep
everlaStingly at it.
Many a man who is proud of his wife
is afraid to admit it.
When a man tries to act superior it's
a sign that he needs to act.
You'll never win if you wait for the
other fellow to boost your game.
1t is fortunate that the self-made
man is SO often satisfied with the job
Dumping up against people who have
no curiosity gives the gossip a jolt.
There may be nothing new under the
sun, but there are lots of fresh people
Some men imagine that the only
place where good fellowship exists is
in front of a bar
Of course, people talk about you.
Haven't you heard something about
everybody you know?
The memory of the average witness
when he breaks into court is either
very good or very bad.

A rose, / pray
Out of your fadeless garden,
All fresh today;
Upon the scentful petals
Your blessing lay;
All. give me. dearest Mother,
A rose, pray!
What color will the rose be,
o Mother bright?
Argent as moon that shineth
In summer night?
White as your soul, . Mary
INSPECTED white?
Yes, give me, sweetest Mother,
A rose all white!
Or will the petals, Mother,
Be crimson dyed?
Like the deep red that flowed from
Your Sons cleft side
Red as your great compassion,
That ebbless tide?
GIVE me this rose, my Mother
Deep crimson dyed!
Another rose, my Mother
A rose Of gold.
Each petal ray of glory
The glory untold
OF the light Of the Sun Of Justice,
Your hand doth hold,
But, oh, not yet may you give me
Your rose Of gOldi
Two roses, white and crimson,
OF your fair grace,
Give to my bOsom's keeping,
And bid me trace
In purity and penaHce,
With steadfast pace,
The way to the unveiled splendor
OF Jesus's face
The golden rose that is not

A COUNTRY WEDDING SIXTY YEARS AGO
By Mrs. Fannie B. Chapman, Mariana. Fla.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

In compliance with a request Of the
editor of The Pensacola Journal for q
contribution to that widely-read paper,
l have decided on a sketch of country
weddings many years ago, when Jack
son county was new.
IN those days the population was
dense in spots. The people OF whom
/ shall write were mostly cultured
citizens of older states and held to the
customs Of the communities from
which they came. They were from
well-to-do up to wealthy, but wealth
created no class distinction among
them. All were neighbOrs and friends.
The homes were not palatial, but large
and comfortable. Hospitality was of
the most generous Bible type.
When there was a prospective we'd
ding everyone was kindly Interested,
although engaE enents were often the
French style-not made public. Some
thing might transpiTe that the mar
riage was not cOnsummated and no ex-
plantions would be necessary 1 never
knew an instance of failure, but our
elders wished their girls to be kept on
the safe side.
When the sparents had sanctioned
he engagement the preparations began.
The pigs for barbecue, without which
10 AutheTn banquet was considered
complete, were at once selected and
put in pens to fatten. The flock OF
turkeys and chickens and ducks re,

When all things were in readiness,
the house was opened to the coming
guests. Upon the arrival of the brides
maids tkev were Ushered into the
brides cnamb Der, while the groom ana
his friends were taken to another. AS
soon as the girls had put on the last
finishing touch to their own and the
brides toilet. they went into the fam
ily sitting room and the gents were
notified that the ladies were ready to
receive them. The minister was
placed in position in the parloT ana
the crowd divided to make an open
way for the coming party. The pairs
OF attendants took their places to the
right and left of the minister, the
bridal pair advancing a step or two
between the lines.
When the marriage ceremony that
united them for life till death us do
part" was completed, congratulations
were cordial and pTOfuse- There was
no wedding march, as there could not
have been space enough in those large
parloTs for one to sit at a piano The
music came after-all along in the
evening at intervals.
About eleven o'clock supper was an
nOunced. The bridal party led the way
10 the dining roOm-which might aptly
be styled a banquet hall. The sight
of one of those wedding supper tables
would DS q revelation to the present
generation. There were pyramids OF

lighted candles, the only means Of
Illuminating at that time; pyramids OF
the best of cake. at least two and a
half feet high, decorated with icing IN
a manner that might well be the envy
of noted cOnfectiOneTs; and cakes,
fruit cakes, square cakes, big cakes
little cakes. layer cakes and every
sort We know anything about or our
neighbors could suggest; orange,
apples, grapes, the finest of candies,
among which was a good supply OF the
oId-time kisses with a wish Of some
sort wrapped in the fancy paper. Ice
cream was not among the delecJG0ie
dainties, as ice could not be mad, but
the richest of syllabub and boiled Gus
tard instead of the cream The meats
were served from side table, also
hot coffee and tea. Dining rooms were
twenty feet square-in fact, most oil
the rooms were of that size-and it
may be imagined what Jolly crowd
could do in such room and at such
table.
It took at least two hours with all
the dispatch possible to get through
with the supper for all the guests. As
there were no trips abroad taken, the
people stayed as late as they pleased,
and it was often near the dawnIng OF
another day before the house was
quiet The attendants were expected
to dine with the family next day, also
anv visitors who might be in the house
when dinner was announced
The receptions all came after the
wedding and continued for a week But
few bridal presents were offered and
these were not expected The par
ents and near relatives were the
donors Of housekeeping goods and fur
nishings. After the complimentary PAL
ties and dinners were all over, the
young couple went TO their own home

ceived attention, no matter if the we'd
ding was months off. Long engage
ments were not favorably considered,
three or four months being thought
quite long enough unless there was
some reason for delay.
When the set time approached for
the marriage preparations began in
earnest. The bridesmaids were Sc
leoted and invited TO spend as much
time OF the intervening days at the
home of the bride as was ,1pvenient.
There were always from four TO eight
in number. The groom selected his at
tendant friends. TheIS we're no best
man" nor maids nor matTons of honor.
All we knew of such maids was of
those IN queens palaces. a maid Of
honor at a wedding looks lonesome to
me now, marching along behind the
pairs of ladies and gentlemen. There
was no giving away Of the BRIDE; her
father and mother did that when they
consented to the marriage. The cake
making took from a week to ten days
Invitations were issued by hundreds,
and all written by hand. It would not
have been considered at all cOmpli-
mentary to have used printed notes.
Brides and their attendant ladies all
wore white. but the maids were not
confined to any particular style in the
making. Gentlemen Yors the regula-

Many church fairs have been held
IN Honolulu in the last few years. and
perhaps there viii be MANY more in
the years to come. but there never has
been one where the ladies are striving
harder TO make il a success in every
detail than the one to be held No
vember "A at the parish house on
Emma street by the ladies of St. An
drew's cathedral. The grounds are to
be used for the erection of booths Of
various sorts. These viii be attractive
~ decorated. The beautiful new par
ish house Will be used for all social
purposes. Each department is under
the supervision of the most capable
ladies. Mrs. Ernest Kopke, as chair
man of the delicatessen booth, promises
that things were never so delicious as
they will have on sale this time There
viii be cold ham. ducks, chicken,
tongue. salads, homemade salad dress
ing, cranberry sauce, bread, rolls. cakes
and several kinds of pie. all from the
hands of expert cooks. One lady whose
reputation for baking beans is well
known will take charge Of that feature
entirely, and any quantity can be
bought.
The fancy booth will have as its
chairman Mrs. J. F. Melanphy. 1t is
almost needless to say that this booth
will be filed with fine needlework, gar
ments and things both dainty and SER
viceable. 1t has been Mrs. Melanphy's
idea to have no things that sell just
because it's a fair and because people
feel as if they must buy something.
But each article will be well worth
the money, and they will be just the
things that you really want to give
friend at Christmas time. There will
be many practical garments for chill
dren, also ladies' underwear, dressing
sacques and aprons. 1t will repay you
to keep your eye on this booth.
Besides these two main features of
the sale, there will be many smaller
ones-the ice cream booth, tea booth
and many others. The chairman of
