MARRIED BY FATHER
Richardson Miller Nuptiais Performed
at High Noon Today at
Brides Home.

Today at high noon occurred the
marriage of Miss MAZE Miller, charm
ing daughter of Judge and Mrs. II.
+. Miller of Roberts street, and
Charles e. Richardson OF Britton, s.
d. The wedding ceremony was very
simple one, the brides father perform
ing the ceremony in the presence of
only the immediate family of the young
couple. The bride wore a handsome
costume Of brown and there were no
attendants.
The Miller home was tastefully de-
corated with pink flowers set off with
ferns throughout. After the marriage
vows had been exchanged, a wedding
dinner was served in the dining room
made attractive with flowers Mr.. and
Mrs. Richardson left on the N. P. at
o'clock for the twin cities and Chi
cago before going to their new home
at Britton, S. D., where the bridegroom
is prominent farmer The bride is

on. The cord should be a substantial
one, as it will doubtless have a heavy
service. The worde Recipes" painted
or embroidered with the new silk
rata in the same color as the leather
will make the gift doubly valuable.
This handy rack for knives made of
bit of board 10 by inches will be
an easy job for the boy in the house
and VIII be a great comfort to the
housekeeper. Nail an inch strip to
the left edge of the board and saw
slanting notches half way through it.
Drive large heavy headed nails on the
right side of the board to hold the
handles. This rack should be made
TO hold four or five large bread and
butcher knives and should have two
screweyes in the top to hang by.
Remember in selecting gifts to give
that which will please. Too many
people give gifts to please themselves
without thought of the likes
and dislikes of the person for whom
the gift is intended The joke about
the horrors of the presents received
by innocent and helpless friends and
relatives may be a little exaggerated
but it is not much overdone. Do not
be one of those who select to please
themselves instead of the person who
will have to be grateful whether be
feels the gratitude or not. Do not fail
to rub off price marks. If the price
paid is high, leaving it on is ostenta-
tious and shows lack of refinement.
If it is a simple gift costing but
few cents it Is courteous Just the same
to take off the money odor. Love
should be the only weight carried By
gifts-but how many "love the giver?"
