Wedding Etiquette

An absolute principle OF etiquette
is that brides family shall pay ell
OF the wedding expenses. The bride
groom has the rigat only to purchase
the ring. pay the fee to the clergy
man, and provide bouquets for bride
and bridesmaids and gifts for ushers
and best man
The simplest wedding. with only a
few relatives present sad the bride
wearing travelling dress. is dignitied
either in church or at home, and
where expense is to be considered this
is the most sensible plan.
The Matter of Apparel.
With the simplest white bridal dress,
and having the most informal wedding
IT Is customary to- wear a veil. II a
travelling dress Is decided on for the
ceremony hat and gloves are worn
as one is supposed to be ready to go
away. A bride wearing travelling dress
may have a maid of honor but not
other bridesmaids. The maid of honor
should be dressed appropr' a tely in a
street or reception dress, and wear
hat and gloves.
The Duty of Ench.
Although it is the brides privilege
to choose the clergyman who is to
perform the ceremony, and the duty
of the brides parents to make all 9TH
ef arrangements, 1t Is the I.uty of the
bridegroom to call on the clergyman
and be sure that his services may be
had on the day and at the time chosen
by the bride 1t should not be for
gotten that in some States a maria ge
license Is required.
An Afternoon wedding.
An afternoon wedding is best Under
general circumstances. This obviates
having a wedding breakfast, which is
both expensive and difficult to serve.
A practical and customary plan at
an afternoon wedding Is to have the
refreshments on a long table In the
dining room. There are platters con-
tanning creamed oysters. large salad
bowls containing chicken salad. dishes
with little sandwiches of thinnest
bread and butter, dishes with cakes
and bonbons, and one or two large
dishes with ice cream. There should
be plenty of plates. piled in groups.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The City Council has voted to
continue the contribution of $500 a
month from the public treasury to-
ward defraying the expense of keep
ing the public library open certain
hours of the day and night. This
is a small donation to a most worthy
institution, and we feel sure that
every citizen of Dawson regrets that
the financial condition of the city is
not such as to warrant greater lib
crafty
The public library, which was es-
tablished and is being maintained
almost entirely through the efforts
of the women of the city, has proved
its moral and practical value to the
community, 1t is an institution that
should command the the friendliness
and pride of every one, for it's
benefits are for all the people.
1t is for the masses, and not
the classes. No doubt there are
those here, perhaps a large number
who have never used and enjoyed
the library as they could and should
have done. If so the responsibility
rests with the man or woman who
has slept on his or her opportunities
and they should resolve not to ig
more the advantages any longer.
Let us as a people attest our in
telligence and our appreciation o.
uplifting agencies by giving the Ii
brary the support it deserves.

KEEP AN EYE ON MEXICO.

The status of the revolution in
Mexico is so mystifying that at this
distance it is hard to say who has
the advantage-the rebels or the
Diaz forces.
As a rule Americans are giving
only passing consideration to what
is going on across the Rio Grande,
but it is manifest that the govern
ment at Washington is keenly alive
to the Importance Of the situation
and what it may develop. In the
past the Diaz government has put
down disturbances readily enough,
and the world has acquired conf
dence in the stability and wisdom Of
the oligarchy that undeniably exists
in the sister. country. Everybody
knows that it is an oligarchy, but
everybody has condoned it on the
theory that it is the best system for
that country.
1t is apparent that the spirit of
revolution is deep-rOOted in Mexico.
Tt may be held down as heretofore,
or it may develop and gain force.
Nobody knows. If the latter the
near future is full Of gravity for
the United States. Our citizens have
1,5OO,0OO,000 invested in Mexico.
Europe has as much more planted
there, and Europe will look to the
United States to safeguard those in
terests. Keep in mind that with all
that investment there the Mexican
masses have no love for Americans.
The events of the near future may
compel American intervention in
Mexico, and if so it will bring the
gravest of emergencies and prob
lens.
Keep an eye on Mexico. There is
dynamite in the situation over
there
