The Golden Wedding.

To few persons is 1t given to celebrate
the flftieth anniversary of their wedding
day. Because of the rarity of the event
and by reason of the precious memories
that must cluster around such an event.
it Is called the golden wedding
The custom of making the day one of
great family reunion had it's origin in
Germany, though it has now become an
American custom by adoption.
A couple that have reached the age
where they can celebrate the date of the
beginning Of half a century Of married
life must necessarily have wide ac-
workmanship and, if there are children,
considerable family circle. For this
reason an informal or even a formal re-
ception Is preferable. A plain white card
bearing the invitation reads:
Mr. and Mrs. John Randall
Al Home
Thursday evening July thirtieth,
from eight until eleven O'Clock
Six Chestnut Heights.
The dates of the marriage and the gold
en- anniversary In opposite upper corners
carry the significance of the occasion. In
vitations may be telephoned for an ex-
tremely informal affair where friends are
asked to gather in and help make merry.
Children and grandchildren assist in re-
ceiving the callers who hasten to extend
CONGRATULATIONS. All members of the
family and those connected by marriage
should be on the invitation list.
At summer or autumn wedding an as
sortment of golden colored flowers lend
themselves to the decorative scheme at
small expense. One Of the prettiest af-
fairs of this sort was given in veritable
bower of daisies and goldenrod. Every
where were banks and tall clusters OF
black-eyed Susans, the orange daisy
with the black center; golden-hearted
English daisies and the yelloy plumes OF
the American floral emblem The dining
table, from which light refreshments were
served buffet fashion. was reproduction
of the brides table fifty years before. only
now the white brides roses of that happy
day had turned to the mellow tones OF
the Golden Gate rose. The refreshments
were carried out as much as possible IN
yellow.
At one golden wedding the entire mar
rage ceremony. spoken half century
before, was repeated. the service being
read by the same minister under as
happy conditions as existed in life's
springtime for now several grown sons
and daughters and some fine little grand
children gathered round to hear the sac
red words OF union. The principals In this
pretty ceremony had preserved their wed
ding clothes and the creamy brocade OF
grandmother's wedding gown lay in soft
folds by the fine broadcloth Of grandpa s

Johnson Puts Up Strange Argu-

(Rv Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Washington, D. c., July S1.-In the
hope of insuring unanimity of action
on the Farmers Free List bill, the
Democratic senators met in caucus to-
day. The only question before the
meeting was that of accepting the
Bailey amendment eliminating farm
products from the articles to be ad-
mitted free.
The amendment was supported by
it's author and was attacked by sever
al senators. The caucus was spirited
but adjourned without action until to-
night.
Senator Bailey contended that on
the acceptance of his provision would
depend the success of his bill, for
without it, he said, it would not get
the votes of the Insurgent Republi.
cans.
Senator Johnson of Maine contend
cd for the passage of the bill as it
came from the House. He said the
Democrats had made their campaign
on a promise of lower duties and
cheaper living, and declared that he
could see no reason for variation
from the program on the products of
the farm.

nounced all expedients as unwise and

had been forced through the House at

general election would have to come
after another session.
"By bringing the election on now
we expect to be able to make reci-
procity the sole issue. If the election
were deferred for a year and recipro.

reciprocity then would be only one of
the issues.

the incoming conservative government
undoubtedly would put through an
