London was a pleasing surprise to us.
We found the people pleasing, courteous
and obliging. The streets beautifully
paved, (mostly with wood, clean and
comparatively noiseless, and in the GEN.
trail parts free from surface cars and
their attendant noise. The crowds and
vehicles are handled by the policemen
with great care and consideration for
pedestrians. 1t is easy and cheap to
get about by cab, taxicab, taximeters,
autobusses horse omnibusses and UNDER
ground tubes as they call them. Lon
don is altogether the best managed and
governed city we have seen and we
enjoyed our stay. There are countless
places of historical interest in and
about London, and it would take
months to do them justice. Of these
the Tower of London is the greatest,
the scene of no end of historical events.
Here kings and queens of England
have been made and unmade, crowned
and beheaded. At the National Mus
cum IS the greatest historical and
scientific collection in the world. Cow
ering many acres, the National and
other art galleries are loaded with the
grandest productions in paintings and
sculptures of the old and modern mas
ters. We saw London from the side
walks, the cabs, the two story omni-
buses, and double decked autobusses.
We rubbed shoulders with the English
people on the streets, in the hotels,
stores and theatres and we liked them
and they seemed to like US. We saw
King Edward, when he returned from
Paris, at Buckingham palace. He was
in an open carriage, looked like his
pictures, was very courteous, took off
his hat to US and others and while he
did not like Teddy Roosevelt, say he
was delighted" He looked it.
One day we rode out to Windsor
castle and back, twenty-eight miles
one way, on top Of a tallyho drawn by
four fine horses changed every seven
miles. Windsor is one of the kings
country homes. We had a chance to
see the scale on which kings do things
and on the way out and back we had
an excellent panorama of an English
landscape. it was feast for our eyes.
There is something about the hedges,
the meadows, the paddocks, the door
yards, the trees, shrubbery, vines,
flowers Of England that is distinctive.
They convey an idea of rest and have
an air Of home and comfort not found
elsewhere.
On the morning of the 18th we left
London and whiried across the conntry
to South Hampton, reluctant to leave
England so soon, but glad to be fairly
started for home. In two hours we
were aboard the good ship and thread
ing our way out of the English Channel
stopping at Cherburg on the French
coast and Queenstown on the Irish
coast to take on passengers and mail.

A VERY PRETTY
HOME WEDDING
Mr.. Otto G. Born and Miss
Rhoda Mccartney Married
Last Evening.
Seventy-Two Guests Present,
Rev. Ralph. T. Fulton
Officiated.

Like an echo of the traditions of the
theme that is old, yet, ever new as told
and retold in the song and story of
every tongue since the world began was
the beautiful wedding that took place
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. C..
Mccartney on Wednesday evening,
when the marriage of Miss Rhoda Clara
Mccartney to Mr.. Otto Carson Born
was solemnized. Rev. Ralph T. Fulton
officiated, using the beautiful Episco-
palian ring service.
Seventy-two guests were assembled
in the spacious rooms which were tast-
fully decorated with cut flowers and
ferns. Without, the starry tranquility
of the glorious June night had just
settled upon city and plain, symbol of
peace and joy. Within all was brilliancy,
beauty and expectancy. Just past the
hour of eight the bridal procession de-
scended the stair. First came cunning
little leila Mccartney bearing the ring
in great, half open rose to the groom.
Next came the five brides maids, the
Misses Maude, Pearle and Maybelle
Tyrrell, Stella Wilkins and Beth Covert
linked together by streamers of eatin
ribbon, and the matron of honor, Mrs.
James F. Nichols, bearing pink car
nations. Last came the bride, un-
escorted, bearing brides roses, to COM
plete the scene with her natural charm
and loveliness, heightened by the inspir-
alton of the moment. To the strains of
Lohengrin rendered by Mrs. H. v.
Taber, the bridal party approached and
formed in the east window of the draw
ing room while the impressive service
was read and the responses were made.
Mrs. Taber sweetly sang touching
and appropriate little reverie of hel
own composing, music by G. w. Becker,
entitled: "Just as it-Used to Be-"
Exactly at $40 Rev. Fulton pro
nounced the final words that linked two
hearts by the bonds of love sanctity
and made the happy couple man and
wife and for merry season they were
deluged by the sincere congratulations
of the guests.
If there was any guest either gentle

VOGUE OF THE HIP POCKET
Popular Receptacle Was Not at First Always Put to the Best
 of Uses.

Hip pockets in mems trousers were first devised by some southern tailor shortly before the civil war. The first hip pocket was made about the proper size to carry a half pint flask of liquor, and that was the pur- pose for which it was intended by its inventor. Later, they were made in pint and quart sizes, and were worn on both the nigh and off sides, and the pockets thus located sprang into instant favor. You may not have found much use for the hip pockets in your trousers. That is an indica- tion that you are a respectable man, for the reputation of the hip pocket is clouded. Besides being receptacle for various brands of liquor, it has also been noted as the abiding place of concealed pistols, knucks, slung- shots and other deadly weapons. It is where the gambler carries his cards, and the bad boy hides the "makings." If you have found no other use for hip pockets than a convenient place for handkerchiefs, you are more innocent than most hip pockets.

COLLEGE WOMEN AS WIVES.

Annette Austin is a writer who believes that college-bred women are better fitted for the duties of life, whether as citizens, mothers or wives. She has a very interesting article in one of the magazines, in which she tells of respective in- stances without names of women who are, occupying prominent positions in life. One young woman graduate of Bryn Mawr, for instance, was of- fered European fellowship in TO- nance languages, but gave it up to marry a rising business man. She considers the secret of married hap piness in the ability of the wife to keep up with her husband, to grow as he grows.
