The Golden Weddinu,

This is in reply to several requests for
golden wedding celebrations, and l
hope will fully answer all questions
asked:
The invitations are engraved with
letters of gold and, of course, golden
yellow will be the color scheme
throughout the house. If the affair
is in the fall golden glow and golden
rod are just the flowers to use. For
the table centerpiece there should be
so roses. preferably Marshael Neils;
the candles of yellow in brass holders.
Gilt slippers make charming souve-
Mrs filled with almonds. The bonbons
may be wrapped in gilt paper, the
cake frosted with yellow icing (made
from the yolk of eggs) and the ice
cream frozen in rings. New York ice
cream is a deep yellow and should be
used. Serve orange frappe in a
punch bowl wreathed with yellow. If
the young people who assist are
gowned in yellow it will add greatly
to the scenic effect.
In way of gifts on such an occasion
gold pieces are in order, flowers and
any dainty remembrance, for, of
course, quantities of elaborate things
are not expected or in good taste.
When a couple have reached this
period in life's journey they do not
want the care of lot of new things,
but rather to be relieved of what they
have. In many instances of this kind
the children and near relatives have

realizes possibilities and makes them
realities. In this case the hostess had
lived for years on this self-same spot,
had regularly gone to the Seashore for
the bathing and it was only because
the family exchequer had been struck

over the dishes-I means the plates

with dainty painted flowers for deco
ration. The hostess said they came
in sets all packed in one box.

NOTABLE GATHERING At THREE
HUNDREoTh ANNIVERSARY
OF ITS DISCOVERY.

SPEECHES BY PRESIDENT TAFT
AND AMBASSADORS JUssE-
RAND AND BRYCE.

Bluff Point, N. with the arrival
of President Taft, Ambassador Jusser-
and of France. Ambassador Bryce of
Great Britain. Secretary of War Dick
inson and Vice Admiral Uriu of Japan
the celebration of the 300th anniver-
sary of the discovery of Lake Cham
plain, which had been confined during
the previous two days to the states of
New York and Vermont, Tuesday took
on an international scope and world
wide interest.
Ambassadors Jusserand and Bryce
and President Taft all committed
their respective countries to policies
of peace, and. in the shadow of an old
fortress which had witnessed some Of
the bloodiest battles in all history.
they expressed the hope that never
again would the peace among the
great nations of the world be inter-
rupted by war.
The President and the ambassadors
and the members of their staffs were
shown through the historic ruins of
"Old IT," as the natives call the old
Fort Ticonderoga, which is now in the
course of restoration. Some of the
old cannon were placed today and
hundreds of rusty relics were on
view.
Some Of these We're reminders of
the days of Indian conflicts; others
were links of history leading back to
the bloody fights of Montcalm, Aber
crombie. and Amherst, to the famous
taking of the place by band of eigh-
ty-three American colonists under Cen
eral Ethan Allen. and naval battles
which helped to make famous the wa
ters of the lake discovered three cen
turtles ago by Samuel Champlain.
Below the fort, on the placid waters
OF the lake. and set among a flotilla
of modern naval vessels of the smaller
class, was a reproduction of Cham
plains little craft. the Don de Dieu.
In his speech the President said:
''As l sat here, listening to the in
teresting remarks of the ambassadors
from France and the ambassadors
from England, could not but congrat-
ulate the United States on the implied

the personal representatives of their
respective chief executives, men SO
distinguished in literature, in history,
in craftsmanship and in diplomacy.
"Champlain was a man whom all
nations can honor All his life could
bear the closest examination, and he
brings out in the strongest way those
wonderful qualities shown in the fif
teenth, sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turtles by Spaniards, Englishmen,
Feenchmen and Portuguese, who
braved the terrors of the sea, circum-
navigated the globe in little cockle-
shells and carried the standard of civ
ilization into the farthest forests and
in the dangers of the most distant trop.

This valley in the 300 years since
1t was discovered by Champlain has
furnished almost as much of battle
ground for the three nations and the
Indians who were on all sides, as Bel
GUM in Europe.
Il echo and emphasize the state
ments Of the two ambassadors and
repeat their prayer that never again
may this great valley be given a name
in history by reason of it's being the
seat of bloody war"
