June brides are defying tradition.
The defiance begins with the bridal
gown 1t extends to the wedding
ceremony, and many a bride applies
the blue pencil to the wording, so
that the troublesome little word
obey is omitted.
The newest arrangements of the
wedding veil are to be commended.
They are infinitely more graceful and
becoming than the styles of former
years, which fitted the lace or tulle
close about the face and hid every bit
of hair.
Some brides favor the soft folds of
tulle drawn about the head in almost
turban effect, and, in view of the
liking for Oriental styles, this has
some features to recommend ii, says
the Philadelphia Record
One of the most remarkable and
historic wells worn by bride of the
year is the wonderful Honiton lace
that decked Miss Laura Webb, of New
York, when she became the bride of
Jorge Andre, of Hamburg, Germany.
1t was an heirloom, and so rare that
it has for years been kept in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, being
removed only for the occasion.
AS for the trousseau of the bride of
the moment, it is far less elaborate
than was her mothers, or even her
elder sisters, for fashions change so

"Grandma's Story"

"Grandma, please tell us a true
story" said bright-eyed Polly, just
twelve years that April,
IT viii, if you will all be quiet and
not interrupt" replied grandma, and
she began her story.
"Once, when / was little girl
twelve years old, we moved from the
city into the country. We means
mother, aunt, Jack and myself and
also Biddy, the maid. One day we
heard that robbers had been enter
ing houses in the neighborhood re-
Gently. OF course we became very
much frightened and each prepared
for a robbery. Mother had a rattle,
aunt the dinner bell, Jack the shot
gun and | whistle.
Zone day an eVil-looking man came
to our house and asked for some
thing to eat. We gave him coffee
and rolls, and while he was eating l
noticed that he glanced at the doors
and at the silver. So after he had
gone | told the family. and as / said
before, we were ready with weapons
for defense. 1t was rumored that
the robbers would mark the front
door of certain house and that the
mark meant that the certain house
would be visited by members of their
gang. We waited and waited, and at
last q black chalk mark was found
on our door, and of course we were
all frightened and made preparations.
That night, before we went to bed
we put a tub of water at the foot OF
| the front stairs and huge pieces oil
wood around in the different rooms

ADVANTAGES OF COUNTRY LIVING

life as mercilessly as any machine
and have no time to bother with
those who cannot keep the pace. Fine
institutions? Oh, yes. But what is
a hospital to a broken spirit? What
is a library to the man or woman
who loses hold? And what are az
the charities to the family that has
begun to slip back? The city can
not bother with such cases as these.
But you may say that wages are
better in the city, that life moves
more quickly, that opportunities are
larger Granted in part, but not en-
tirely Life certainly has more eN-
citement in cities, but excitement all
the time is bad for any human being.
City wages are larger, and continu-
Gus changes give more opportunities
for advancement, but at the end of
the year, when the average city
worker counts up, there is a different
story. 1t has cost more not only in
money but in wear and tear. Did
you ever realize how every city is
crowded with doctors-and thousand
of them have their automobiles? Citl'
people pay not only for the doctors
and the automob iles but for the drug
stores and all the Astounding exhib.
its of health cost 1t is an interest

see and your own mind grasp.
In the country the prizes may net
he so glittering, but on the whole, life
is fuller and happier and more worth
while; and with the increase that has
come to the farms and the small
towns it is a close question as to the
larger profits. As business propo-
sition the country today proves itself,
AS general living proposition,
there is no serious comparison. The
country means fresh foods, time for
the doing of work, the health anG
jov of children, the delights of
old age fitting its rocking chairs and
its corners, and all the other things
that count in making the years ripe
and fruitful. There is time for love
too, time for human interest, time
for sympathy. Have you ever known
the loneliness of a great city? There
is no misery like it. Turn from it
and seek the country where you have
neighbors to say kind words when
you are we'll and to come over and
offer to help when you are ill.-Edi-

of drops at a time. And the wind
howled in the trees, frightening the
little girl.
1.-THE boy tried the front door and
it was open. So they stepped in
side and crouched down in the hall,
where the rain could not touch
them. The boy wanted to go into
one of the rooms, but the little girl
shivered and said, 1T is too dark
and queer. Let us stay here"
Every time the lightning would
come she would shiver with terror
and hide her face in her hands.
But the boy wasn't AFRAID at all.
He just sat there and ate blaekber-

peep in the back to see how it's

Elsie?''
"S-sometimes," said Elsie in an
apologize tone: you can't help it,
you know. if it's ever so exciting"
But Mary 'Lizbeth does it every

poking out her lower lip in a pouty
fashion that was not at all becom-
ing.
well, it doesn't make the end any

beth, so what's the use of fussing
about it?'
GO on with the story" Elsie cut
in, "else you two'll be quarreling
over nothing"
The girls looked rather sheepish.

Me, too" declared Mary Eliza
beth, who seldom paid much atten-

when the boy and girl got to the
house,
Dorothy was telling the girls a
story, a creepy, scary story, about
an old, tumble-down brown house,
a house with broken shutters hang
ing from rusty hinges, of dusty,
crumbly curtains and ancient furni-
ture. a house in which people were
afraid to live, because-beeause-

Now she smiled in a satisfied way.

Two Simple Designs for Embroldering Towel Ends
BY MARGARET LAWRENCE

One enjoys a vacation better if
every moment is engaged, not neces-
sarily actively, for one often enjoys
spending an hour or 50 during the
hottest part of the day sitting quiet
ly on the piazza or under a shady
tree. During these quiet hours a bit
of embroidery is acceptable company.
Towels make an excellent pickup
and are not hard to do.
These two designs for towels are
suitable for use on huckaback or
damask and should be embroidered
with white mercerized cotton No. 20.
Pattern 1891 should be developed in
Wallachian stitch and, if desired, a
two-inch initial may be placed in the

,rAZzINI LOVED LoNDoN's FoGs.

What feature of London has the
strongest appeal for the foreigner?
Mazzini loved above all things else
the London fogs.
when YOU look up" he wrote, 1.-The
eye loses itself in a reddish, bell
shaped vault, which always gives
me, ] don't know why, an idea of the
phosphorescent light of the inferno.
The whole city seems under a kind of
spell and reminds me of the witches
scene in Macbeth or the Brocksberg
or the Witch of Fndor The passers-
by look like ghosts. One feels almost
a ghost oneself"
And years after he had left Lon
don for Italy he writes to friend:

radiant skies of the London fogs and

STELLAR ELEMENTS.

The spectroscope shows the lines
so far in stellar research of forty
five elements well known here in the
earth. Hydrogen exists in all stars
in enormous quantities. Iron and a
number of other metals likewise are
incandescent in the sun, and in all
other suns bright enough to send rays
into the grating for analysis.
An element named coronium is now
seen glowing in an envelope of the
sun, but 1t has not been discovered
here on earth yet. Helium was seen
in the sun for a number of years be-
fore it was finally discovered in the
earth Stars vary in the character of
the rays emitted; therefore all suns
are not alike. And the differences in
dictate differences in their ages.--New

Home Treatment for
SaIIOW, WrinkIed Skin

A. G. r. asks: what should l do for
my sallow complexion, aud how can J.
get rid of my wrinkles?"
Sallowness Is best removed by remov-
ing the skin itself. This is effeetually
accomplished by the use of ordinary mer-
colized wax, which causes the offensive
outer skin gradually to peel of, in fine
eye. Within q week or so you will have
an enviable complexion, the new skin ex-
hbiting a healthful, youthful tint incom
parable with artificial coloring. Get an
ounce of this wax at your drug store,
apply at night like cold cream, only don't
rub 1t in. Wash II off in the morning
with warm water.
For your wrinkles try a solution of
powdered saxolite, 1 o., dissolved in X
pint witch hazel Battle your face In this
every morning for q while. The result
will surprise you.--Beauty's Mirror.

To Clean a Chiffon Veil

Dear Margery Doom:
I have a very pretty chiffon veil
which is soiled from wear. Do you
think that it will stand washing, or
would 1t be better to clean it with
gasoline? 1t is a shaded veil, with
the colors running from pale pink
to a sort of garnet, and I would
not like to spoil it. Will watch for
your answer. BESSIE r.
I'd use gasoline, if l were you. Let
the veil soak in basin of the fluid
for ten or fifteen minutes. Souse up
and down and rub the veil gently
between the palms of the hands
Rinse in clean gasoline and hang in
tho air to dry.
Caution-Do not use gasoline in a
warm room or near a fire. 1t is
highly inflammable.

Dear Miss Doom:
Please tell me when the first rifle
was invented. G. X. L.
Rifles were invented in Germany
in 1893, and have been used as mill
tary weapons since 1881, but were
not used in the British army until
the latter half of the eighteenth
century; and till 1851 the British
infantry, with the exception of
those regiments known as rifle
corps, was universally armed with
the smcpth- bore musket. For

The Home Seamstress

An excellent way to fasten the hooks
and eyes in the placl1et of a frock of
sheer material, so that stitches will
not show through, is to sew them
first on piece OF straight material.
Then sew this piece to the placket,
being careful to take the stitches
through the placket facing only. The
straight piece keeps the bias placket
from stretching out of shape, says an
exchange. If an invisible closing be
desired on a waist or shirt, the same
method may be employed, using the
rust proof snaps, which are really
more desirable than hooks and eyes.
