The finest damask, shining like satin
has largely supplemented the lace
pieces that for awhile were exclusively
popular.
SO great is the craze for beautiful
damask that " monograms are held
to detract from the beauty of its de-
sign and are not allowed.
Thus one set of eenterpieces and
tumbler and plate doilies is simply OF

The all over tablecloth at luncheon
Is hopelessly old fashioned, the polish

The patterns of these damasks are
many and novel. Some are OF the
period Of Louis Quinze-ribbons and
baskets Of flowers, stripes and spots
and flower clusters and single blossoms
all very dainty and attractive.

In which Latona lived with her babies there ws a queen named Juno. Peo-
pie used to say that Juno vas a great queer, but that Iatona vas more beau

her away from her country. The poor young mother had to take her two
babies and fee from Juno Istt the queen do her a injury.
The poor Latona had to go q long distance to get out Of the reach OF
Queen Juno 1t WA hot weather and she did lot dare stop TO give her poor
little children anything % eat Oh drink Besides, there was % place to rest
until she reached the shores of a beautiful lake with clear, cool water shaded
by trees and bushes. I Will stop here said Latona-
But by the side Of the lake there were ONE bad boys cutting sticks
They were dressed in green coats and white vests They were cruel boys
and they would lot let poor Latona and her babies rest Whenever she tried

When June comes around with It's
roses there VIII be another wedding in
the family Of the great commoner, and
Lincoln. Neb., is delighted, since it
means the keeping Of the Younger Of
the popular Bryan girls with them.
Perhaps the organs are delighted, too,
for Miss Grace, the youngest child, is
to marry 10 stranger, but a young mar
who has always been known to them
and whose parents have long been
their friends. Richard Lewis Har-
greaves is the prospective bridegroom.
The young man Is only a few years
older than the bride to be, who is
about nineteen.
Presumably the wedding will take
place at Fatrvtew, the family home en-
the outskirts of Lincoln, or else in one
Of the local churches. Miss Grace Bry-
an resembles her mother In appearance
and has the same charm of face and
manner. That she Is clever goes with
out saying, for the children of such
parents could be nothing else. Her
special talent Is music, as that Of her
elder sister Is literature.
The Bryan girls have always been
great favorites with the American peo-
pie. Like their mother, they are SIM
pie and democratic and put on no un-
due airs, although their fathers great
position IN the world would excuse
them for SO doing. When Miss Ruth
Bryan was married to W. q. Leavitt in
| 1908 the marriage could scarcely have
been q matter of more public interest

one felt sorry for her. and particularly
for her parents, when the marriage
turned out 80 unhappily. Certainly the
