Noted Mountaineer Slain.

Elliiay, Ga.-Charley Upton, a not
ed mountaineer moonshiner of the
north Georgia mountains, is dead. A
coroner's jury has been unable to
clear up the mystery of just when
and by whom he was killed. The
general impression here is that Tip
ton. who was known as a desperate
character, was shot to death by noun
tain clansmen who had some hidden
grievance against him. Upton was
famous in this section for his exploits
as a moonshiner. He had been fire.

Modern Riding Habit

~ HE modern riding habit IL claimed
to be the most sensible of all
- riding garments for women. The
chroniclers of the modes in olden
days had very little to say regarding
fashionable eQuestrienne garments,
and It is thought they were justified in
their silence. In the days Of the
Fair Maid Of Client, women rode long
tailed palfreys. attired in embroidered
robes Of velvet and brocade. Even
so late as the reign OF Charles H.
green velvet was a fashionable ma.
terial. Many writer's ascribe the in
PRODUCTION of the side saddle to Anne
Of Bohemia, the wife Of Richard II.
In olden days women seldom rode
alone, but sat on a pillion behind q
man or servant. and 1t Is interestina
to note that the belt worn by the
modern groom Is survival of the
stout leather one assumed by the
members Of the sterner sex MANY
centuries ago for their companions OF
female employers to cling to. DURING
the reign of Queen Elizabeth there
was no special riding dress, the safe.
guard. or weather skirt, being worn
in alliance with a cloak. 1t was made
of stiff wooden or silken material
and protected tho other garments
from the mud.
Queen Elizabeth frequently discar I'd
ed the cloak and wore the skirt with
an ordinary bodice. During the las,
fifteen years more sober and sensible
treatments Of riding habits represen,
fashions edicts.

but the cost should not be more than
parents can afford. A strict rule Is
In vogue that the expenses of the
wedding shall be borne by the family
OF the bride-who pay for such things
as the trousseau, decorations, cards.
carriages and invitations. 1t 10 usually
the pleasurable duty of the groom to
pay for the flowers for the bride and
bridesmaids. carriages for the ushers,
his best man and himself, and the
gift to the clergyman. The wedding
breakfast and other entertainments at
the home OF the bride are paid for
by the brides family.
When determining the expenses of
a wedding It Is the duty of the brides
parents to remember that everything
must be according to the scale, as the
architects are wont to remark. 1t is
not a good plan to spend largely in
one direction and cconomize closely
In another, for each feature must be
in proportion. A certain amount of
floral decoration Is usually necessary,
and care should be shown in the Sc
lection Of flowers. 1t is splendid plan
to have the delicate blooms arrive at
the scene Of the wedding Just a short
to take place. In this way the flowers
are fresh when they are needed. In
case of q church wedding. some ugly
churches need great many potted
plants and flowers, in order to give a
pleasing effect. Decorations are rather
expensive and their cost should be
reckoned before tho wedding takes
place.
In arranging the trousseau the bride
should pay only the necessary atten-
ton to it, in order that she may not
be worn out by her wedding day.
Clothes in the making. OF course, re-
quire a deal Of attention, but the
brides mother can aid in this work,
relieving somewhat the strain on the
daughter. Such things as the deco
ration and refreshments should be ar
ranged without bother to the bride,
who probably has enough on her
hands without such matters.
