Celebrating the Tin Wedding.

An author who was about to cele-
brate the tenth anniversary of her
marriage describes her plans in this
way:
For refreshments, will serve coffee
in tin cup, with tin spoons, and dainty
sandwiches on tin plates; will pass
water in tin pail, using tin dip
per. All refreshments will be passed
in tin pans, the walters will use tin
coffee pots to refill the coffee cups.
For a centerpiece for the table, will
use large tin cake pan, with an
opening in the center, in which a
small fish horn can be placed, the
cake pan and fish horn both being fill
ed with flowers. Shall decorate the
rooms with tin as far as possible. In
one archway shall use tin plates tied
together with ribbon, small hole
being punched in the plates for the
purpose. This will form curtain for
one archway. In another archway
shall use tin cups for the same pur-
pose. Tin candlesticks can be used
If one is fortunate enough to have
them. Wire coasters tied with ribbon
can be hung on the walls to hold pho
tographs. Small tin spoons tied with
ribbons can be given as souvenirs, be-
ing passed around by the walters, in
a tin dust pan"
A few more suggestions would be
that the bride carry her bouquet in
tin funnel and the bridegroom could
have very small tin horn in his
buttonhole containing a small bou-
quet. Potted plants and flowers may
be set in tin pals for jardinieres and
vases, and small tin basins can be
passed instead of finger bowls. Tin
foil may be put to various decora
tive uses, not forgetting to wrap the
| bonbons in it.

HEROES OF THE CANAL ZONE
U. S. Medical Corps Have Accom-
plished Greatest Triumph Over
Nature In History of World.

The cost of preserving a mans
canal zone is one cent. The expense
of conducting the sanitary department
of the canal zone has not exceeded
$4,000,000 in the entire time of Ameri-
can occupation, and it is seven years
since the last case of yellow fever
caused a death in the territory where
formerly 1t was possible for 1000 Chi
nese to die OF that disease at single
camp
These were the statements made re-
Gently by DR.. Roswell Park, the ply
siclan who attended President McKin-
ley, to the New York Herald, on Dr..
Parks return to this city from an
unofficial trip to the zone.
Nowhere and never in the worlds
history" said DIR. Park, has there
been such triumph of man over the
forces of Nature. This applies to dis
ease producing agencies as we'll as to
mechanical conditions. Let the public
not forget when they think of the
Panama canal that underlying the sur
1890
work is the minute and painstaking
investigation in the cause of disease.
in the little laboratories where men
are hidden from public observation
and where they concern themselves
with the study of disease germ and
culture methods and the use of the
microscope.
And let them not forget also that
the heroism displayed by those who
have lost their lives in this sort OF
study is equal to any heroism dis
played upon the battlefield or any
where else. In fact. 1t is superior to
it, because it concerns men giving
deliberately from stern conviction of
duty toward others, and it is devoid of
the glamor and applause which other
men meet.
All praise, then, to the men like
DR.. Walter Reid of the United States
army, and others who have sacrificed
themselves in the attainment OF
knowledge which IS now the property
of the world"

talk, her mature ways and air Of the
world.
Never you mind; you shall have
your Tom again." whispered Miss
Ingleby encouragingly,
But it seemed a harder problem
than Miss Ingleby had expected. She
had not meant to lead Tom on. But
a woman of the world often forgets
that the light interchange of repartee
and badinage may be the cut and
thrust of mortal earnest to an mex
perienced young man.
1t was Tom who furnished her with
her opportunity that evening when
they gat together on the piazza.
Miss Ingleby," he said, Il want to
tell you something. You are going
away on Thursday-but don't want
you to go out of my life. You have
made me love you"
Love you'll" she exclaimed. why
you are nothing but boy!"
Il am twenty-five" he answered sui
lenly. Il know you may be year or
two older than l am. But where love
exists age does not count. +"
Mr.. Banks, listen to me-" said the
singer. do you think it the part OF
an honorable man to makei love to
one woman when you are engaged to
another?"
mo, l don't" he cried. But how
can one help whom one loves? l am
fond of Miss Lennon, but since l have
known you that other love of mine
has seemed tame and weak. l was
only boy when l became engaged
now you have made me a man"
"Will nothing l can say disillusion
you?" asked Miss Ingleby despalring-
ly.
Nothing" he answered when
look at you you seem the incarnation
Of all beauty to me. l want you;
don't care for honor or duty; want
you"
Miss Ingleby rose up slowly. Her
face was pale. her lips trembling.
ION Thursday morning I will give
you my answer" she answered
That was Tuesday evening Tom
Banks lived in fever of happiness
during the following day He coild
scarcely attend to the details of his
business. His whole being burned
with a consuming passion for the
beautiful singer. What though a few
years in age separted them-two, or
three, or five at most? He had known
of cases of greater disparity in which
happy marriage had resulted. He did
not think of Elsie at all
And she had been a silent witness

WOMAN'S PROBLEM
Stripped Herself of Her Little
Articles to Save a Young
Girl.
BY FRANK FILsoN.

Come here, girl; don't look at
me as If | were a dTagon!"
Elsie went forward and looked at
Miss Ingleby with an expression of
30 much mingled hatred and admira-
tion that the elder woman flashed her
white teeth and her eyes twinkled ex-
Hctly as they did in the posters with
which almost every boarding in the
United States had been decorated at
one time or another
She went forward defiantly, but a
moment later somehow she found that
she was crying upon Miss Ingleby's
shoulder, while the singer caressed
her and patted her hair gently.
so | have stolen her beau away
from her and she wants him back"
whispered Miss Ingleby. Isn't that
SO, dearie?"
Elsie raised her head. Il shouldn't
mind tiff you meant to marry
Tom," she sobbed But l know you
are only amusing yourself with him,
because Tom is much younger than
you"
How old are you, child?" inquired
Miss Ingleby.
Twenty" said Elsie defiantly.
"And Tom?"
TON is twenty-five. And you must
be nearly thirty" said Elsie. so l
know you don't mean to marry Tom.
And we were to be married at Christ.
mas. and now-now he won't speak to
me-"
The match between Elsie Lennon
and Tom Banks was approved by all
Kentville, for Tom was a rising young
business man of the town and Elsie's
father, old Major Lennon, who kept
the summer hotel, had been one of the
first settlers. And they had been
sweethearts for years.
Since the singer had come to spend
a couple of weeks vacation, however
he had had no eyes for poor little
Elsie. He seemed fascinated by the
older woman's bright eyes and witty

A Good Thing to Know.

To increase the lasting capacity of
candles, KEEP them in the ice box for
"a hours before using, They will
burn much slower, and to the up-to-
date hostess who uses candles con-
stantly this is quite an item. 1t is
quite customary to light the dining
room almost entirely with candles
placed around the room or the plate
rail, mantel and sideboard. These are
not shaded, and it is a very pretty
idea to have individual candles at
each plate. These are usually shaded
to protect the eyes.

dainty figured lawn and the hostess,
supplied patterns for the following ar
ticles which were useful and easily
made in the afternoon. There was
lace, beading, ribbon, embroidery cot
ton, needles and thread on hand and
the girls worked merrily. Here is
what the happy little brde-elect took
home: Small aprons, a sunbonnet, a
slumber-pillow cover, hair-comblng
Jacket, a corset bag and a set of bu-
reau drawer sachets.
The refreshments were: Lettuce
sandwiches, lemonade, green.and-white
frosted cakes and pistachio ice cream.
They were served on little tables GOV.

of that last interview. From her lit
tie room in the wing of the house
she had seen Tom seize Miss Ingleby's
hand and cover 1t with kisses; she
could not tear herself away. even
though the sight scorched her heart
as though burning hand were laid
there
She dreaded the evening meal.
There were but three other guests
at that season; her father and her
self sat at a table facing Miss Ingleby,
and Tom. who had boarded at the
hotel ever since their engagement.
Surely Tom would spare her his pres
ence that night But his infatuation
proved too strong for him. He en-
tered and bowed coldly to her, nodded
to the old major, who, absorbed in his
soup, saw nothing of the little tragedy,
and waited for Miss Ingleby to appear.
And Elsie could not tear herself away,
though she knew that each glance be.
tween them was like an arrow in her
heart.
The door opened and a woman came
in. A gray-haired woman, with
wrinkles round her eyes. and mouth,
and pallid cheeks. She was dressed
in a plain black suit Of antiquated
cut; she was Just motherly-looking
body of forty-odd years. The major
loked up and stared hard.
Who is that, Elsie?" he whispered,
as she seated herself at Toms table.
Miss Ingleby!" stammered the girl
in amazement.
The rest of the meal was passed in
absolute silence. Elsie's eyes took in
every detail of the incident. She saw
tine expression Of amazement that
crept into Toms eyes. saw him at
tempt to speak, choke, and at last
rise and hurry from the room. And
Miss Ingleby, brave Miss Ingleby who
had stripped herself naked of her little
articles to save another woman, sat
there unconcerned, the cynosure of all
eyes, making a courageous show Of
eating until the last course was
served. Then she went to her room.
There Elsie found her afterward.
She understood that the elder woman
had made atonement for her offense.
There could be none greater than that.
The dazzling beauty, the pride of the
footlights, turned into a plain old
woman to save an innocent girls
heart.
why did you do it?" whispered
Elsie.
Because" answered Miss Ingleby
slowly, Il was young once, and sweet
and innocent-like you"
She kissed her goodbye and none
of them saw her again. But on the
Piazza Elsie found Tom, walking like
mailman. When he saw her he
came humbly up to her.
Elsie" he said, you know what
sort of a fool l have been. | suppose
we can never be the same to each
other again, but If you will give me a
| chance"
Perhaps we can be more, Tom,
she whispered. And she knew that
from that moment hers would be the
stronger soul; that the innocence Of
youth had yielded to the knowledge
of maturity; that the sheltering love
she bore Tom was immeasurably
stronger ti1an the girlish alteration
which was gone for ever.
