Novel Cotton Wedding.

This affair was celebrated way down
In old Kentucky, and was such a de-
lightful affair that am sure our read
ers in all parts of the country win be
able to adapt ideas from it to suit
their own needs and conditions The
Invitations said Please come i'm a cot
ION frock." This conveyed the idea
that it was to be an informal affair.
The spacious porches and grounds
were lighted with many lanterns, and
dotted over the lawn were great white
cotton umbrellas, such as are used for
shade on wagons. They were on long
stakes driven into the ground, and had
Japanese lantern lighted and sus-
pended from each rib; rugs and chairs
were underneath
These trysting places were much
sought in the intervals between
dances There was large platform
erected with negro players, Just like
the plantation dances before the war.
Before the dancing the hostess pro-
duced bandana handkerchief-aprons, to
which the men sewed the strings;
then a wee colored china doll was
given each girl, with bits of chamois
skin from which she was to make a
pen wiper for her partner.
The refreshments were typically
southern: Individual chicken pies,
hot corn mullins, tiny stuffed peppers,
Iced tea and delicious watermelon.

A Neck-Wear Shower.

A fall bride says the prettiest show
er the girls of her home town gave
her was +. "neck-wear" downpour. The
lovely part was that each girl made
with her own fair fingers the dainty
creation for the bride who had grown
up among them and was so soon to go
far away across the sea- No one
can have too many stocks and collars,
and there was every variety imagin-
able, some being Of Irish crotchet. The
table center piece was composed Of
the white gilly flower, often called
stocks" and the place cards were
bogus certificates of stock" drawn
upon the Bank of Matrimony and
signed by her majesty, the American
Woman" with Cupid" named as treas
urer. The gifts were all done up in
dainty tissue paper tied with white
satin ribbon and were brought in on
a tray with bows of talle on each
handle. A wee maiden dressed as;
Cupid presented the tray to the bride.

they were all very promptly they were
met by maid who took them into a
side room without removing their
wraps. The screen was in plain view.
Each guest was taken separately, the
wrap removed and he or she was
placed behind the screen. II the chill
dren recognized the character, that in
dividual took seat in the drawing
room, the chairs being arranged in
rows. When all were admitted there
was a professional entertainer, who
did wonderful tricks for 20 minutes;
for a half hour. Refreshments were
served in the upstairs ballroom, which
had been transformed into veritable
wonderland" with bountiful use of
gold and silver tinsel.
Many little surprises had been
cleverly planned for the mystification
of the young guests. For instance,
there was an immense water lily made
from paper and placed before screen
made from clothes bars covered with
crepe paper and ferns; there was a
petal for each child, which when
pulled down revealed a plate contain

Durability OF Concrete.

In the orange garden of the old Cap
ueian monastery. on hillside about
three hundred feet above the Gulf of
AInalfi, Italy, there are a number of
queer mushroom-shaped tables. These
tables, apparently used by the monks
for reading purposes, are about two
and a half feet high and three feet
in diameter at the top and two. feet
at the base. They are of concrete.
and, though, according to local au.
thorities, of an age varying from four
hundred to eight hundred years, are
in an excellent state of preservation.
The excellent condition of these old
tables furnishes additional proof of
the durability of concrete as applied
to lawn and garden ornaments.

Would You Defy Age7

Here are three excellent 'Don'ts"
which help to preserve your youthful
ness.
Don't wash the face in hot water
before going out for walk. 1t opens
the pores of the skin and makes them
more sensitive to dust and dirt.
Don't use soap and water as soon as
you return. Rub good cold cream
into the face and wipe 1t off with a
soft handkerchief.
Don't wrinkle the forehead when
worried or draw the brows together
i'm a frown when bright light strikes
the eyes. Nothing ages woman SO
quickly as deep ridges on the. fore
