 In the dining room the big reflector that hangs low above the table and the smaller illuminators were hooded in pink silk so that the light which fell upon the party seated at the long table to enjoy the late dinner and to toast the first bridegroom of the househood and his prospective bridet was rosy and soft.

Many Variations.
OF course there are many variations
IN the procedure of carrying a measure
through congress from the introduced
bill to the approved law. 1t happens
In many instances that the bill comes
out of the committee having It under
consideration without amendment,
passes the house without amendment,
goes to the senate and is there re-
ported Dl the committee without
amendment and is accepted in its orig
inal form by the senate. In such cases
no conference committees are appoint
ed, and the act goes to the president in
its original shape. In other cases the
senate originates the bill and passes
ii and allows the house TO follow its
lead. Each branch has equal authority
in the OriginatiOl of legislation except
that the constitution gives the house
the exclusive right to originate revenue

The poplars, birches. naples, su-
macs and Virginia creepers added their
tribute of color to the carnival of
beauty. The crow, the jay, the belateh
nuthatch or chattering squirrel gave
the one touch of life and sound to the
pensive stiffness Of the splendid woods

TO TELL POISON IVY.

A great many attractive things have
danger for those who come in contact
with them. Among those in the nat
ural world is poison ivy. which in the
fall in most sections is one Of the
most brilliantly cOlored vines to be
found. Many boys and girls and not
few older people do not know the
vine. and word about it is in place.
The most important distinctive fea-
ture about it is that it has three leaves
In cluster instead of five. as in the
case of the well known Virginia creep
er, which. though to be found in wood
lots all over the country, is frequently
used as a porch climber. Another
mark Of the poison ivy is the cluster
Of numerous small whitish berries
which 1t bears, not at all like the pur-
pie berries Of the Virginia creeper.
In spite Of fits name the poison ivy
does very little climbing. but rather
sprawls and, as a rule. is short vine.

In single season. 1t cannot stand
cultivation and hence is most often
found along river courses, in pasture
lots and in fence rows and corners.
