Fred Hinrichs, and jim Hall went
out to Neshoto on Sunday last to kill
ducks and pigeons. They didn't get
a blamed one, though they reported
% pigeons and 9 ducks as the total
amount they bagged. But when they
gave this out they forgot that George
Washington "always told the truth
and never, never told a lie" They
didn' even catch a sucker, though a
lot of ragged boys caught bags full.
They had very pleasant ride on an
old buck board and spent Monday
scraping mud off their clothes.

MADAME MERRI.

Silk blouses are severe. The sleeves
are fiat, with little or no fullness.
Flat jet ornaments. as well as those
of metal, are frequently used as trim
ming.
The vogue for gilt is now at its
height and silver trimming is also in
demand.
Tasseled ornaments and fringe vie
with each other for chief favor in
trimming.
Except when the brim Is turned
over in front. very little Of the hair
Is shown.
Some of the new bracelets encircle
the wrist and end in tiny jeweled
bowknot.
Coats are a bit closer than the half
fitting ones of the past season and
skirts are usually plated.
A fetching suit was of canard blue
homespun, with the jacket, sleeves
and hem outlined with a fine band
of skunk fur-which. by the way, is
the leading fur of the season for ev-

Wooden Wedding Suggestions.

~SSSSSssSsOs
A request comes for suggestions for
a wooden wedding. which is the fifth
anniversary. The invitations may be
written or printed upon birch bark,
or on imitation wood paper. giving the
date of original wedding and the day
and date of proposed celebration. For
a table centerpiece q large canoe of
birch bark would be charming filed
with viOlets or other small flowers:
smaller canoes could be used to hold
sailed nuts and as place cards, too,
with the guests name written on the
side in fancy lettering. A wooden
chopping bowl. filled with fruit and
flowers. could be utilized as a center
piece II the canoe is not obtainable.
Little wooden dishes that come for
dolls make fine individual nut or bon
bon holders. Place cards may also be
made from squares of birch bark. II
a carpenter is accessible get him to
make some nice long curly shavings
to use as festOons about the rooms
For amusement, try q nail-pounding
contest for the girls and a whiting
contest for the men. or let all dress
dolls made from clothespins. Fill a
small tub with sawdust and make a
pie" out of which the guests nay
draw tiny wooden boxes filed with
wedding cake.
One of the stunts" at a wooden
wedding celebration was to gather the
guests In one room In two long lines.
Lights were extinguished and wooden
articles in common, everyday use
were passed from hand to hand down
the line. After each one had held and
felt of all the articles. the lights were
turned on. and the one writing out
the most complete list from memory

one was done separately in tissue pa

ribbon ran to each place. When the
bride pulled her ribbon a spoon bear
ing this jingle was forthcoming:
One spoon for two,
Oh! what fun!
But then. you see.
You two are one.
The rest OF the girls each drew a
spoon, and exclaimed as they just

elect that they must all 60 to her. The
refreshments were a little out of the
