In London make 1t clear that the brides Of
the autumn are going TO emulate those OF
the summer and springtime by introducing

At the wedding of Miss Caris5lmA Blood
recently the bridesmaids were clad in radi-
ant Indian coats and robes and wore pink
and white turbans. The effect was oriental
and novel At another wedding a couple
Of little boys bore the train Of the bride.
The children were dressed In sailor suits
Of white duck and were unaccompanled by
any bridesmaids,
The average modern bride is proud Of
proving herself free from the trammcls OF
convention. Al one time the wearing Of
black at a wedding even BY a guest would
have been considered unucl1y Nowadays

The Tambonrine Girl.

BY Sadie b. Finch, Aged Y Years, 2N6
Fouth Avenue, Kearney. Blue Side.
RosaHe was little Gypsy girl She came
from land far across the sea. Her
parents and companions moved about the
country in wagons At towns and villages
they pitched their tents and camped. Then
Resale would take her tambourine and
sing and dance on the village streets. The
women built camp fires and cooked the
coarse food which they had. Afterwards
they wandered about the village telling
fortunes and disposing of their brass jewels
and trinkets. But none attracted such at
tention as the little Rosalie, who, in her
costumes, sang strange and wonderful
songs and danced to the iingllng of her
bcribboned tambourine. All summer she
danced and sang and was happy. But
summer passed and the cool days OF
autumn gave place to long, cold winter.
Alas! for poor Resale. She had never
been strong. The little feet which had
danced so gaily only a short time before,
were now tired and weak In the cold, I'M
comfortable tent she lay on her pallet,
with scarcely the necessities Of life. Too
weak now to play her tambourine, and her
sweet voice was scarcely audible. She often
wished to see the village children gaiy
tripping to and from school. One beauti-
full spring morning the fortune teller, who
found Rosahe fast asleep, attempted to
waken her, but could not, for she had
already awakened in her beautiful home
above. They buried her in the edge OF the
forest. Oftmes children hunting for
flowers or nuts by chance would find the
