Harris-AleXa,der Wedding.
One of the loveliest weddings ever
witnessed in Westminster was that
Of Miss Clara Harris and Adger M.
Alexander, which occurred on the
morning of Wednesday, November
gath. The Presbyterian church was
beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion In rhododendron foliage, great
ropes hanging above the altar, with
here and there bows Of white satin
ribbon, carrying out in every detail
the color scheme of white and green.
Bunches of holly and ribbon marked
of the pews, and the chandeliers
were covered with rhododendron.
The beautifully decorated church,
lighted only by the dim glow of many
candles, was crowded with hosts OF
friends OF the popular young couple,
the beautiful gowns Of the guests
adding much to the brilliancy of the
scene.
At the appointed hour, Mrs. White,
N hnr Il
and Miss Nan Lou Harris, Of Pendle-
ton, a cousin of the bride, sang that
well known and much loved song,
"Oh, Promise Me" Then, at the
first strains of the bridal chorus,
came the hush of expectancy as the
wedding party entered. Mrs. r. T..
Long, OF Anderson, a sister of the
Drlde, entered first as dame Of honor,
beautifully gowned in old rose satin,
with picture hat to match, carrying
an enormous bunch OF chrysanthe-
NUNS and fern. After her came the
groom with his best man, Frank Fl.
Shirley. All ascended the altar and
turned to face the bride. who came
last with her sister, Miss Eloise Har-
ris, as maid of honor, who wore an
elegant gown Of white broadcloth,
trimmed with white satin and pearl
passementerie, with picture hat Of
black and white. Her bouquet was
| also of chrysanthemums and fern, in
the wedding cOlOrs. The BRIDES
gown was of handsome tailored gray
ish green cloth, with small toaue of
contrasting green, which set off to
perfection her blonde beauty. The
bridal bouquet was a shower Of
gorgeous white carnations with mai
den hair fern and tulle. AS she ad-
Vanced with her maid Of honor the
groom came forward to meet her.
and Mr.. Peabody, pastor Of the
| church, who performed the cere-
mony, took his place, facing lovely
improvised altar of laurel, forming a
pyramid, lighted with many candles.
There, during soft, fairy-like music,
the beautiful ceremonial was read,
making them man and wife. Amid
showers OF rice and joyous congratu-
lations Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander left
on No. 10 for Seneca, where they
boarded No. 81 for a wedding Jour-

There are variety OF these cXcrci es
which YOU can Try for yourself, finding
those which do the most good. While
doing them practice slow and deep
breathing. You will feel very tired and
probably dizzy when you first begin;
therefore do only a few at a time, and
those slowly. then increase them as YOU
do them more easily. Those who sit all

WHO CARES WIFE Their
THERE'S A CANDY TRUSTa

is there a candy trustT
On complaint OF a manufacturing
confectioner in this city, the Depart
ment of Justice has undertaken the
work of answering this question. The
complainant alleges that because he
declined to join some association he
has been subjected 10 the boycott and
the blacklist Ii the trust busters find
that this is so, then they VIII also
undertake prosecutions
But there is nc excitement over the
case. Americans eat more candy than
probably any other people acquainted
with dentists and dyspepsia. They are
beset by medical experts who tell them
that it is good to eat andy and not
good TO eat it. This interesting di-
versity of opinion calls attention to
candy; tends to sharpen the popular
appetite for it. Consequently candy
in some form, from striped sticks and
peppermint lozenges to nut-crowned
bonbons, goes into nearly every home
Candy is therefore a household acqusin-
tanee, like oil and tobacco; yet the al
legation that there is a wicked candy
trust and that the Government is
plunging into the matter with hopes Of
having big fight is taken as coolly as
is the news that New York is going tc
experiment with side doors on elevated
cars.
Is there a candy trust?
Very few seem to care whether there
is or not. If you want to see pubic
excitement you must mention the OF
