 Know Thyself
 Each individual has peculiarities Of constitution which cause him to differ in his needs from everyone else. He should learn to know what these are and to obtain them. It is in this manner he can increase the sum total of his vitality. Vitality is the word which is used to ex- press the strength and durability of the human machine. The greater persons vitality, the greater his power to resist disease and the longer his life.
 One IS born with certain amount of inherent vitality. If this sinks below the required amount the infant cannot with stand the exactions of existence, and perishes. If there IS not enough reserve vitality the child will not live to attain adult life People are accustomed 10 re- gard this inherent vitality as matter of birth, heredity, matter which IS be- yond control but this is not so.
 Often the weakest infant becomes the strongest of brood of children, for the very reason that the parents study to do everything possible to make the child stronger, while giving less attention to the others. Children are like plants : they thrive under certain conditions and pine and perish when these are lacking. How to Increase Vitality

H LII portant event in girls life.
 She wishes the occasion to be
 A as beautiful as possible, but she forgets sometimes that there is beauty in simplicity, beauty in the fair proportion of spending according to ones means. She does not realize that what may ap- pear to be beautiful outwardiy does not really possess beauty if there is under meath it all current of anxiety to other people, expense, or strain in one way or another.
 It is incensiderate of girl to over tax her parents with expense in her wedding arrangements. They would, no douht, make sacrifices for her sake, but a thoughtful, sensible girl will not wish to make her wedding a strain on her parents purse.
 Wedding Expsnser
 The expenses for trousseau and we'd ding, the invitations, floral decorations, reception and collation., are always as stunned by the brides family, and any departure from this absolute rule IS a breach of etiquette Then. too, if there are bridesmaids, it is for the bride to give a present to each, and this means another expense for her parents
 Few girls take into consideration the expenditure in gifts which must be as sumed by the bridegroom if an elaborate wedding is planned, with numerous at teadants; for the bridegroom is ex- pected to send a bouquet to each brides maid, a gift to each usher and to the best man, besides providing the brides bouquet, and of course the wedding ring, and paying the fee to the clergy man.
 Although these are the only expenses he is permitted to assume, they are not trifling; indeed, they may amount to a goodly sum, and although man wishes to be liberal on this occasion, he may be obliged to be prudent
 The Bride Should Be consider.ts
 A girl often takes for granted that her best-beloved will agree without a murmur to any of her wishes, and he dces, usually--that IS, his nlurmurs may not be audible until after the wedding. Eie IS supposed to be so glad to be the proud husband of the one he loves that he will sacrifice every personal wish or convenience for her sake. This may be right, if within reasonable bounds, but

and tables banked with wild fern. The brides mother receives the guests in the room where the ceremony is to take place.
 The Wedding Procession
 An aisle formed of white ribbons may be made by four or six young girls stretching the strands from given points. Between these ribbons the bridal party walks. The clergyman enters first, fol- lowed by the bridegroom and best man. They may either walk up the aisle de- scribed or enter by side door, near the place for the ceremony, and take their positions where the ceremony will be, facing the guests, the bridegroom at the left of clergyman, and the best man at the left of bridegroom.
 If there are ushers, they enter two and two. Then comes the maid-of- honor, preceding the bride, who comes last, leaning on the right arm of her father. When approaching the place where the ceremony will be the ushers go to each side, allowing the maid-of- honor to pass up to the left; the bride groom advances to meet the bride, who removes her hand from her fathers arm and places 1t in the hand of the bride groom, who leads her forward, and they stand facing the clergyman, but not hand in hand.
 The maid-of-honor is at the left of the bride, in readiness to offer any little attention, such as holding her bouquet or glove The best man IS at the right of bridegroom, standing back, and in readi0eSc tO nr0dtce tha riuU at tba proper place in the ceremony. The brides father stands behind the bride, in readiness to give her away in the ceremony, when, having performed that duty, he may withdraw.
 After the Ceremony
 After the ceremony the clergyman congratulates the newly-wedded pair and then withdraws, and they turn and stand in his place, the maid-of-honor at the right of bride The best man moves away and makes himself generally use ful as an usher
 The white ribbons which formed an aisle are carried away, and the family and friends hasten to offer greetings to the bride and her husband.
 A simple feast may be set forth on a table in the dining-room and may con- sist of bouillon served in cups, hot cro- quettes of chicken. salad, dainty sand wiches, ices and cakes Plenty e plates, forks, spoons and napkins are on the table, and the guests help themselves and each other, and are not seated at tables, but stand up or may sit infor- mally about the rooms.

HOCNIf1 tneIe are DIIucS dlI tllS
 N year round. it seems to be the
 E universal idea that only the girl
 who enters that felicitous state in the month of June needs to be es- pecially advised about her trousscau. AS there are any number of charming young women who manage the matter very cleverly during the remaining eleven months. one cannot help lurking sus- picion that very great deal of the ad- vice so bounteousiy bestowed IS more or less unnecessary.
 wa-6-ose Required
 The sensible girl of to-day has a quite comprehensive understanding or what wardrobe is required, so little advice IS needed. except about the wedding gown and it's accessories. There is one sGg- gestion that will probably be super fiuous to the girl of sentiment, and that is to have as much of her trousseau as possible horne e-Rade-self-m2de n many instances.
 We are living in such mechanical sge-even the Wedding March issues from the horn of the phonograph-that ,he ready-made appeals on every hand ss economy of time and labor. There should be some sentiment stitched into the outfit for the new estate, Ii It be only that 1t may serve as certificate ot skill in at least one of the household arts.
 Lifetime outtt Unnecessary
 There is no reason for supposing that the bride-eiect begins her planning from an empty wardrobe, nor is there the ne cessity for preparing an outfit for life time; dozens of everything are only for the prodigal. A girl who is employed at business has little time to do her own sewing, but she can and will do some in preparation for her wedding. Both she and the girl who has lived at home with parents and brothers and sis ters will find, when she IS alone in her own home, that there are many stray moments that may be prohtably and hap oily devoted to plain sewing"
 Four sets of underwear will provide a comfortable outfit, and, if necessary, one can manage satisfactorily with three. This will include nightdress, drawers, corset-cover, chemise, short under-petti- coat and long outer-petticoat The list may be varied, emitting, for instance, the chemise ii the corset-cover and short under-petticoat. are provided, or uniting the corset-cover with either the under petticoat or the drawers in one Of the princess models for these combination garments.
 In the larger cities there are annual sales when underwear may be bought at what seem remarkably reasonable prices for garments that are ready to wear, but opoortunities of this sort are rarely open to girls in the smaller cities, and a needlewoman with a knowledge of ma terials will not be satisfied with many of these bargains.
 Material Preferable
 Soft-hnish nainsook is incest for un- deFwear, except for long white petit coats, and for these cambric is used. IL is most satisfactory to buy the material by the piece Nainsook comes in twelve-yard lengths, and a good quality, thirty-six inches wide, may be bought for one dollar and a half per piece

THE WEDDING


girl who is considerate will be truly reasonable in making her wedding prep arations. Choose simplicity rather than display, and be considerate of others.
 A very simple home wedding may be very beautiful, and 1t is eminently prac- ticable, where expense must be consid- cred It obviates the necessity of large ! expenditure and cuts off the cost for floral decorations at a church, carriages to and from the church, fee to organist and fee for opening the church-all of these expenses being for the brides parents. . | Then, too, the invitations to a small home wedding need not be engraved forms, but may be informal notes writ ten by the brides mother If the house is large enough, all ones friends may be invited; if 1t is small, it is correct to invite only relatives and a limited number of friends, and to send, after the marriage, the announcements to those who were not invited to the we'd ding. These are issued in the name of the brides parents, and paid for by them and are sent to the general ac- quaintances of the families of bride and bridegroom.
 The Wedding Hour
 The hour popularly chosen for we'd ding IS midday or afternoon. Evening weddings are now out of fashion. A bride-elect has the privilege of choos- ing the day, the clergyman and the l bridesmaids The ushers are selected from among her friends and those of the bridegroom. One bridesmaid, or maid-of-honor, would be sufficient at a small wedding, but it is not necessary to have any attendants.
 At a country wedding, when guests are expected to arrive by train, carriages are provided, at the expense of the brides parents, to convey guests from the station to the house, and thence to | the train afterwards.
 Decorating the House
 The house may be decorated with a | few palms and grown, pants as a background near the place where the ceremony will take place Cut flowers, roses, carnations, white lilscs and lilies are seasonable in June The blossoms | of the syringa. or mock-orange, make charming effects and are inexpensive. 1 Natural effects are produced by having the flowers III vases or bowls on manteis

s~entation and not Increase the western
strength so as to produce uneasiness.
In the Fifty-sixth congress the first ar
rangement was for 357 members Of the
house, but that did not meet the
wishes, or needs, of a majority and
was changed to 3s6. The same thing
may happen again, so that It is now
impossible to foretell the number In
any state. 1t is generally the object
to let each state retain what It has.
But Maine, New Hampshire and Yer
mont each lost a member in the tenth
census. New England will almost GER
tainly lose again this time. 1t is con-
sidered impossible to give the west the
increase belonging to 1t and preserve
the present status of New England.
Since the conservative strength is more
pronounced in the northeast and the
progressive forces preponderste in the
west, the control Of the republican
party may be materially affected by
the apportionment made in the Sixty
second congress. Naturally every
well-informed estimate OF census sta
tisties is anxiously watched by mem
bers of congress and by all political
leaders. A great deal of history is
concealed in the figures.

Confused Democrats.

With all the advantage of location
the washington Post should be a quail
flied Judge and. when 1t says that If
the democratic party had 100 major
ity, as at present constituted and led,
no tariff bill could be enacted, there
will be few contemporaries to chal-
lenge the statement. ee
\. II the democrats should by chance
carry to congress after the vote Of
1910 the house majority they have
been talking about, what use would
they make Of It? Not only the tariff,
but the railroads, the army and navy
the currency and banking laws and the
antitrust inhibitions have all been put
before the country for settlement with
the democratic party hopelessly divided
on all.
The Post exhibits its impartiality by
saying that the republicans could not
have made a tariff law in the extra
session If they had not az every critical
point had Opportune assistance from
the democratic side. II no democratic
member of the senate had been in his
seat during the session either we
should have had no law or a very
much better one. from the democratic
viewpoint, than we did get.
From this source the undeniably
fair mention Of democratic weakness
points to- a serious public danger.
Nothing now pending menaces the ma
tional safety, but the contempt of dem
ocrats for their own party does not
promise efficiency II an accident of poll
itics should change the party prepon-
derance in a moment OF danger. Prob
ably half. at least, of the democrats Of
the country honestly believe that a
complete victory of their party would
be a calamity 10 the country. Z Such a
condition of feeling is o healthy.
The impotence of democrats is a truth
as described in the Post, but 1t is not
q truth at which patriotic republicans
rejoice. The government should be in
safe hands whatever the turn of poll
tics.

Late as It is for preachments on the
summer care Of babies, it is
wrong to call attention to the loss the
community and nation suffers in the
p~reventable death rate Of infants. The
superintendent of the United Charities
of Chicago has forcibly told of the loss.
If you wish to know whether your city
is right, he says, get your health COM
missioner to put a dot on the map for
every child under 2 years who dies in
August. The babies got sick in May
or June, fretted, cried, wilted and died.
Other infants who did not die managed
to live with constitutions blasted.
Later they will be found among the
under-nourished and backward school
children and, finally, on the books of
charity organizations as dependents
supported by society. You cannot
make an efficient citizen out of a
blighted baby"
Realizing the imperfect character of
the efforts to al for children, the
United Charities organized a service
on a broader basis. The city was dis
tricted for the purpose of covering 1t
with a house-to-house visitation sys-
TEN. Settlements, hospitals, churches,
representatives of philanthropic agen-
cies and individuals were invited to
supplied milk, pssteurized and modi-
fed to suit the age and condition of
the child. The city appropriated &c.,
900.
The health department Of the city
reports that there were in the week
ending September 4 533 fewer deaths
of children under 1 year old than in
the same week last year 1t is not
stated that the improvement is due to
the increased precautions, but that,
pending more exhaustive examination
of results, is evidently the opinion of
the Board of Health and the charity
organization.
+ One of the most p~raiseworthy and
useful parts of the service is that of
the medical men who give their efforts
in a spirit of earnest cooperation, at
the anne time taking great care 10 to
encroach on the legitimate field of the
private practitioner.
1t is a valuable work, even consid-
cred coldly as a conservation of the
~community's potential energy. All the
year around the care of the babies
should be a primary consideration.
The hasty condemnation of Governor
Glenn seems undignihed and ignorant
compared with the civilized and gener-
Gus efforts OF. Chicago to repel the at
tacks of disease and death upon infant
life.
