This letter is also from Alabama. The
writer is entirely right in demanding ref
erences and in expressing her willingness
to give them. When one would take a
stranger into her home, or when a girl
enters a new family, both parties to the
arrangement should know just what they
are doing and the characters OF all con-
cerned. OF course the girl who accepts
this position will be expected TO give such
cheerful service as is required in ex-
change for pleasant home.

Jasper, March 2s.-(Special )-Capt
Jack Crawford has been confined to his
bed for about a week, and has been griev-

state convict department. When inter-
viewed with reference to his attitude to-
ward an extra session, he expressed an
opinion to the effect that it might be
economy to the state to call an extra ses-
sion of the legislature to put state affairs
in order again.
For the past two weeks T. l.. Long

in Jasper, and the people have come to
regard him as prophet of no mean re-
pute since he and his friends made a
strenuous effort TO have probed the con-
vict department of state last summer

WORE BLUE AT THE ALTAR
Took New Matrimonial Vows at
Recent Wedding.

Not long ago there was much re-
striction of color about the bridal
dress of widow, but this waning year
has seen many changes in that re-
spect. A very handsome and charm
ing widow bride wore palest blue, with
hat to match, and many plumes of the
same soft tint. Another wore gold
color, and looked fascinating with a
silk embroidered tunic to match it in
hue. Her black velvet hat was crown
ed with gold and yellow feathers. A
short while ago the widow of we'll
known man wore maize color on
the occasion Of her second mar
rage.
The gown was charmeuse, the long
trained skirt bordered with dark
brown fur, and some beautiful an
tique Brussels lace trimmed the cor
sage and formed sash ends. To COM
plete the harmony of the toilet the
brown velvet hat exactly matched her
sable stole. There is really no rea-
son that the bridal toilet of widows
should not show almost any color, ex-
cept perhaps white and very light
cream, and, of course, black.
