Correct Dress al WEDDING.

In an article on "The Etiquette
OF Weddings" in the June Woman's
Home Companion, Christine Ter
hume Herrick has the following to
cay about correct dress:
after the ceremony, if there is
to be a reception. the guests fol-
low the bride and groom to her
home. The brides mother leaves
1t the same time as the bride, If
not before, so that she may be
there to greet the guests when they
arrive. The bride and her atten-
dants at once take place with her
father and mother, to meet con-
graduating relatives and friends. Un
less there is formal collation. ser
we'd, the bride does not usually go
into the dining room, but partakes
Of some refreshments brought to
her in the reception room.
"The dress for the men is, OF
course, always the same for a wed
ding In the daytime, 1rOck coat.
light trousers, gray or lavender
gloves and a button-hole bouquet
High hats are en- regle. The bride
II this is her first marriage, wears
white, usually with veil. Hell
gown should be made with a high
neck, or at least with guimpe land
she should wear little or no jewelry
The bridesmaids will look much pre-
tier If all are gowned alike.
''The bride presents her brides
maids and maid of honor with lit
tie gift, usually piece of jewelry
and the groom gives his best man
and the ushers some little token
such as a scarf-pin."

Rapid Growth Of The
Boy Scouts Of America.

New patrols of the Boy Scouts of
America are being organized on an
average of three hundred a week.
A patrol consists of eight boys or
less. So it is a conservative eSti-
mate to say that two thousand boys
every week are becoming Scouts. In
addition to this, it must be remem-
bered that many patrols are being
formed and have Scout Masters who
have not yet been registered at the
National Headquarters.

! GRAVEL ROAD
CONSTRUCTION
Two Economical Methods De-
sCribed by an Expert,
very LITTLE SAND NEEDED,
Screened Gravel Is the Most Suitable
Material to Use-Winter Treatment
Considered the Cheaper-Advce on
the Mending of Highways.

Representative William W. Cocks of
Long Island. who has built several
gravel roads and has found them very
satisfactory. tells how they can be con-
structed economically.
ITO the minds of most people," he
says, when We speak of gravel
road comes the idea of coarse sand,
such as they have seen dumped on the
road from time to time and frequently
in such quantities that it did not mix
properly with the loan, and hence
there was soft, sandy road, which is
the worst road in the world for haul
ing heavy loads over. What l mean
by gravel road is screened gravel or
gravel that may be found in some
banks that would be suita' a for road
construction without screening. but it
should not contain over 10 per cent Of
sand in most instances unless one
were to use a very thin coat and over
a road that was Of very deep loam.
when it would be well enough to allow
little larger percentage of sand, but
otherwise | prefer il TO carry as little
sand as possible.
There are two methods in which
this kind Of road could be constructed.
One Is by the formation of a trench,
treating it very much as we do road
for macadam and then putting in til,
gravel about eight inches deep mixed
with a little loan or clay, and | be
lieve that now it would be wise to put
some tar on the top course. In the
construction of this road | would Ia.
it in two courses, provided l were go
ing to use tar in the upper course.
There would be some difficulty in get
ting Il gravel road to pack if 1t were
laid in eight inches thick. and it should
hc done in the winter time unless one

A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY.

Ny thought. said this and my
thought said that,
So I buttoned my coat and put on
my hat,
And away we went in the world to-
gether--
No matter the wind, no matter the
weather.
For my thought was a thought of
the country lane
Far off in the boyhood dreams again.
My thought said May, and I up
and cried
l will 60 with you where it may be-
tide,
So we went full tilt, and I only
When we left it was winter, with
heaps OF snow,
But very few minutes my thought

Were under the blooms of a boy
hood sky.
Oh, merry my thought, but it car
ried me on
From a blizzard's breath to a pris-
tine dawn
In April valleys that did not know
A single bit of the wind and snow,
But only the secrets the woodlands
tell
To listening heart in the boyhood
spell!
Ny thought said fsh--and upon
my word,
Twas a sycamore tree and a mock
ing bird
That sprang right up through the
snow at my feet,
And the violets bloomed, and the
world was sweet,
While over the bank of a ripping
stream
I baited my hook with a boyhood
dream.
Oh, what is the wind and the cold
and the ice,
When your thought says things in
a sort of trice,
And you don your coat and an old
straw lid
And go way back to the katydid
In a field of clover that grew knee
high
To you in the days of the boyhood
sky!
Miles go past with a magic glide
When off on the wings of thought
you ride;
Away, away, in the very worst
weather,
Away we 60 in the world together,
And out of the office window, see!

and use a roller b. far the most eco
nomical way to build Il gravel road is
TO spread about two inches on the or
dinary surface of Il road that has been
previously cleared Of all dead and
worn out material that would never
pack again and then plow the road
and put the gravel on about three or
four inches deep and just allow the
traffic to wOrI: ii in and have Il man
continuously along the road for two
or three weeks with a rake to fill In
the ruts and pick out any of the too
large gravel stones, as the top surface
should contain no stones larger than a
hickory nut.
Another method of constructing
this road which would be still more
economical would be to spread the
gravel on in November or December.
Spread it over the road about two or
three inches deep and repeat during
the winter as the traffic works 1t into

LET'S PLAY OFF SICK.

If you have anybody working for
you and they lie down on their job,
don't fire them at once,--just call
them in and tell this story:
Down in Virginia farmer had
an OK and a mule that he hitched
together to a plow. One night,
after several days of continuous
| blowing, and after the OK and mule
had been stabbed and provendered
for the night. the OK said to the
mule: ''We've been workin' pref

day"
You can if you want to-" re-
turned the mule, "but | believe
! I'll 60 to work."
So the next morning when the
farmer came out the OK played off
sick; the farmer bedded him down
with clean straw, gave him fresh
, hay, a bucket of oats and bran
mixed, left him for the day and
went forth alone with the mule to
plow.
All that day the OK lay in his
stall, chewed his cud and nodded,
slowly blinked his eyes and gently
swished his tail.
That night, when the mule came
in, the OK asked how the got along

the mule said, at was hard and we
didn't get much done, and"
"Did the old man have anything

"Well, then," went on the OK,
