WRONG BRIDE AT THE ALTAR

The story of bridegroom finding
the wrong bride at his side for the
wedding ceremony was told in Bonn
bay high court short time ago. A
member of the religious sect known as
the jams, being forbidden by Jain
custom to seek for a bride for him.
self. commissioned another man to
find one. After a selected bride had
been viewed by the Jain at rail-
way station he agreed to pay the
prospective brides father $1,000, and
$50 to an intermediary, and part of
the money was paid In advance. At
the ceremony the bride" wore a
heavy veil, and when the Jain asked
her to remove it he found that some
one had been trying to pass off sub
stitute for his bride. These adven-
lures are not uncommon in India.
Sometimes very ugly girl is passed
off on a bridegroom.

An old EnglishwoIlan, who was e1-

to enter the rear door of an omnibus.
The driver leaned over good-naturedly
and cried:
''Try sideways, motheA try side

The old woman looked up breath

no sideways!" -Youth's Companion.

Gown for a Matron.

For a matron black and white
princess robe is made in narrow
stripes of equal size and arranged
with lengthwise and horizontal panels
alternating with suggestion Of lad
der and it's rungs.
The notable feature Of this robe is
it's revers, the cozsage having short
outer lapels with lace inset between
them, while revers from narrow
point on the shoulder came down to
meet at the waist and were continued
in ten-inch wide ladder-like lines to
the hem of the garment. This gown
was carried out in black and white
marquisette, with Venetian lace for
trimming. s., -

Lace Door Panel.

Very frequently lace door panels
shrink after washing them, making ii
impossible to use them again.
TO prevent this follow these instruc
tons: After removing the panel from
the door thoroughly clean the glass.
Wash and starch the lace, slip in
the rods Immediately and replace the
panel on the door.
Care should be observed to pull the
lace straight, lacking down the sides.
if necessary, to stretch the panel.
Allow 1t to dry upon the door.
This gives far better results than to
launder the panel in the usual man.

KANGAROO HERD IN ENGLAND

It would probably surprise most peo-
pie if walking through an English
wood. they should suddenly come upon
herd of kangaroos. Yet there is
such a herd near Tring. Some 20
years ago a few of these marsupials
were turned loose in the woods few
miles outside that town called the
High Schrubbs. The underwood form
I,d good shelter for them, and there
they have made their home and rear
their offspring. A similar attempt was
once made at Beeston castle, but they
died off for lack of cover, and the
experiment has not been repeated

a narrow stiff band of blue velvet

center of which springs up peacock's

feather in natural colors, bizarre

LIQUID Measure.

It was the time OF the singing les

the teacher was explaining to the
young hopefuls that if treble" and

together, their united efforts would
constitute a quartet.
There seemed no trouble about that.
and the teacher thought the class was
getting on very nicely.

suit. 1 got more satisfaction from it
than from anything 1 had eaten for

SAVE THE TREES

Editor Of The Post: Is Town
Council going to permit the Bell
Telephone Company to erect an
other line of ugly wooden poles on
the north side of Main street
That is a question to be decided at
the next meeting, and if for any
reason the councilmen should
weakly accede TO the request OF
the telephone company they would
run counter TO the sentiments of
an overwhelming majority Of citi-
zens. Of the town. 1t would mean
that the trees-one of the glories
of the tOwn---wOuld have to be
shockingly mutilated in order to
erect the poles and string the
wires, and there would be no COM
pensating advantages to the town
or patrons. The company gives as
a reason that it wishes to improve
the local service. The town has
no objection to that, but more
poles on Main street are not neces,
sary to that end. The company
should be made to keep it's lines on
private property back from the
street and to pay for the right OF
way, if necessary. The same com
pany has buried it's wires under
ground from New York to Wash
ington, $50 miles, and why should
it not do the same on Main street
