White orchids or white roses are next
best choice. The brides gown is of
white silk. She must have a beautiful
complexion to wear lustrous, white
satin. Nothing brings out all facial
blemishes so relentlessly. The tulle
veil should be worn over the face be-
fore the ceremony and thrown back af-
terward. This is the only correct rule,
not withstanding deviations from it.
The bridegroom at an evening we'd

conspicuous pattern, but not black,
black frock coat and waistcoat, white
four-in-hand necktie, pearl-gray gloves
and boutonniere.
The wedding party, with the excep-
ton of the bridegroom and his best
man, assemblies in the vestibule at the
entrance to the church. Bridegroom
and best man advance from n room off
the chancel to the altar, awaiting there

bride leaning on the arm of her father,
or whoever is to give her away, brings
up the rear. When the party reaches the
lower step of the altar, it halts, the
bridegroom steps forward and leads
the bride by the hand to her place.
Ushers file to the left, the brides
maids to the right. The best man, the
maid of honor and the father stand
slightly to the rear. The maid of hon
or holds the brides bouquet. The best
man produces the ring at the critical
moment. The maid of honor arranges
the brides veil at the altar. Instead
of removing the glove at the altar
slit should have been made in the third
finger of the glove for the left hand to
enable it to be turned aside that the
wedding ring can be slipped on the
finger. The maid of honor adjusts the
finger of the glove, handing the bride
the bouquet. The procession is re-
versed in leaving the church, the bride
and bridegroom leading, the maid of
honor next, the bridesmaids following,
the best man with the brides father
coming after and the ushers last. The
brides family pay all expenses Of the
wedding except the clergyman's fee.

BORROWING JEWELRY.

You may think girls don't crave bor-
rowed finery. Oh! but they do. The
rings of her friends always look pret-
tier to her then her own do. Crave
them? OF course she does. Youths
and maidens seem to have a penchant
for wearing each others rings awhile.
1t seems innocent enough, yet much
mischief may result from it. A youth
wearing his mothers or sisters ring
may loan 1t to girl for while,
though she may have none to loan him
in exchange. If she becomes intense
ly enamored with it, it often seems an
act of cruelty to insist upon her re-
turning it this year, next year, perhaps
never. Then, again, there is such
possibility as losing ring which is val
ued by a young man as a keepsake.
Its loss cannot be replaced.
Hard feelings spring up which can
not be outlived In n lifetime. This, al
so holds good among girl friends.
When they loan each other their val
ued trinkets it should always be with
the understanding that If damage or
loss is the result no blame will be at
their own jewelry. How can they ex-
pect to be with the belongings of an
other? One girl may be more than
careful of her pretty jeweled ring,
treating 1t with the utmost loving care.
The friend she loans 1t to would think
nothing of plunging her hand with it
on in cold cream jar or trying to cut
an initial in n window pane to see If
the stone is n real diamond or thought
lessly pull it Off with her glove. The
bracelet watch which some girls are
eager to borrow from friends who are
lucky enough to have them, usually
comes in for its share Of mishaps. The
clasp may become loose, the watch fall
to the floor and away goes the main
spring.
Girls do not mean to be careless with

MAN WHO is TOO SWEET.

A soft-spoken, overpolite man is
sure to appeal to the general run of
women. There is fattery in his gaze.
He has way of clasping woman's
hand, lingeringly,, that stirs the blood
in her veins and brings the color to
her cheeks, giving her tactitly to I'M
derStand that she possesses more in
terest for him than any other woman
in the world. Every sentence he whis-
pers in her ear contains covert mean
ings. For time this pleases woman
kind. Gradually, however, it becomes
an old story. Instead of continuing to
admire the overpolite man she becomes
conscious after while that he is ac-
tually silly. He lacks the manliness
of other men. In fact, she concludes
that he's altogether too sweet to be
wholesome.
Even the most polite men never
carry politeness to the point of max
ing themselves ludicrous. A young
woman told me this story of the Incl
dent which helped her to choose hus-
band from between two ardent lovers,
each of whom would not take no for
an answer. She had been entertain
ing both in the parlor one winter eve
ming. One was sweet, suave young
man, who never forgot the habit of
smiling. The other was a plain young
business man, with no frills about him.
At lull in the conversation she was
heartily glad to hear her little broth
er's voice pipe out in the hall, "Open
the door, Nell, want to come in."
Both men sprang to their feet. The
overgracious lover stepped to her side,
murmuring softly, MAY not have the
pleasure of performing the service of
opening the door for this tiny, lily
white hand?" In the meantime, the
other young man had strobe to the
door, flying it open, and caught the
youngster in his arms, hoisting him to
his shoulder, bearing him triumphantly
to his sister and depositing him in her
lap. The difference between the two
men struck her forcibly. She mar
ried the man who jumped to accom-
plish things without ado.
Graciousness and sweet words are
all very well in courtships beginning.
| But they have fashion or wearing
! away like goldplate, usually disclos-
ing brass beneath the polish. The
overpolite lover seldom makes the
kindest or most considerate husband.
The bluff, outspoken man is more
often than not diamond in the
rough. He doesn't make so much pre-
| tentions as to the tenderness of his
love. He believes woman should
take that for granted. With him, it is
his deeds that count, not soft prom
ises. The soft-spoken genius does not
take very well or get far with men.
He is of the class that makes dupes of
women. The man who is natural is
genuine to his hearts core. He who
is unnatural comes down to his regu-
lar gait all in good time.

our tossing a friendly word to the new republic.
 Japan in the past has tactfully de nied that she aspired to exercise ar oriental Monroe Dictrine over China but the world knows such is the case Whether we should recognize that doctrine, as the world has recogniz. ed our pan-Anerican policy, is g question for the future to decide. Yet it would be wrong for either country to make an issue of it now, when they are allies in the world contest.

JAPAN AND AMERICA

Japan makes it very clear that her sentiment toward the United States is a consequence of this country's failure to recognize her predominant position in China-all of which re- moves the mask from Japanese pre- tensions; and, incidentally, causes the kaiser's strikers to chuckle with glee. Fortunately, neither Japan nor the United States is getting the least bit excited over the incident" how ever, and that will not be so much to Germany's liking.
 It all happened because this coun- try, without consulting Japan sent a friendly note to the Chinese govern ment, urging it to compose the fac tional differences which are threaten ing to result in civil war. It appears that Great Britain and Japan consult ed over the question and decided that and consequently not worth the of fering. France, it is expected, will take the position of England and Japan. Thus the United States is playing a lone hand in it's paternal efforts to prevent China from passing back to the condition of monarchy.
 There appears to be no ground for the Tokio complaint When it is con- sidered that this country, which was the first to recognize the new Chinese Republic, merely expressed solicitude lest the republic lose its identity, it was within the proprieties, for we have been uniformly interested in a paternol way in countries which have emerged from absOlution and adopt ed our system of government.

THE BIGGEST MENACE

The big immediate menace of the entente allies continues to be the Ger man submarine. It's toll has been re- duced measurably since the halcyon days which marked it's piracy dur ing the early days of unrestricted warfare, but the problem has been by no means solved, and even at the pres ent rate of destruction, it will prove a serious handicap to the entente's activities.
 The fact that 1,745,000 tons of British shipping-or more than 500 vessels of various kinds, of which 1922 were of more than 1,600 tons-have been sunk during the past four months, is impressive and of suffic- tent consequence to make us pause The rate of loss is far in excess of the worlds building output, for the total construction for all of last year was only 100000 tons. Thus if the kaiser could maintain the average of the first four months of his campaign
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-06-28

and there was no increase in the rate of building, the worlds tonnage could be sent to Davy Jones' locker in few years-the ration being about 3 to l in Germany's favor.
 Undoubtedly the allies are mater ially strengthening their means of com batting the submersible, but in any case their warfare is essentially defensive so long as they do not sue ceed in driving the foe to his lair. The United States is contributing to the war against the divers, but none of the devices appear to have been the final answer to the U-boat. We can bridge the Atlantic" with ships, perhaps, and help to hunt down the individual sub, but that will merely scotch the snake, not kill it.
 There is a growing feeling that the capital way to defeat the menace is to destroy the German submarine bases. The naval and army experts of all countries, of course, realize the weight of the argument, as is shown by the fact that these bases have been frequently attacked by aircraft with bombs. If the allied war councils de- eide that an offensive against the bases is feasible we can rest assured that it will be undertaken.
 Today the brains of the world are being concentrated on this baffling problem, and when the key is found, if it is found, German faith in the kaiser and even in von Hindenburg, will be shaken to it's foundation.

HOW TO INJURE YOUR TOWN

Run it down to visitors as slow" and dead" and "hole of place. "
 Get all your supplies from ano- ther town, or as much as possible of them from traders in outside cen ters.
 Look sorry when stranger talks of buying property or settling in it.. Tell him about all the people who have gone elsewhere.
 Refuse to pay subscriptions to To- cal institutions, and when special do- nations are required stand off like wise. Then when a stranger comes along tell him local institutions just about scrape along, and the commit tees running them never do anything to advance them or pay off the over draft that has been in existence for years.
 Talk about your go-ahead citizens as men who are always trying to get into the limelight to serve some pri- vate ends.
 When a man gets enthusiastic in any public matter, tell him he'll soon get sick of that. and discourage him as much as possible by finding fault with his methods. Don't subscribe to the local paper. Borrow it from your neighbor, or take the free copy that is supplied to the hospitals.
 Refuse to advertise in your local paper. People summing up the place from outside have a habit of looking for it's business energy in the adver- tising columns of the local press.
 Don't under any circumstances give your printing order to the local print cry. Give it to an outside firm. Then when any printing is wanted for a public function ask the local printer to do it as a donation. He's very good that way, doncherknow. When asked how is business in your town, always say "Rotten!" Nothing more need be said unless it is that you don't know how people keep their heads above water at all. Discourage sport in every possible way. Sport has a habit of bringing visitors to the town. Never encour- age amusement of any kind. because it helps make people healthy and hap py One essential of personal and public damnation is to keep the place as dull as possible-Ex.

ROAD WORK IN ALASKA
 Is TO BE GIVEN RUSH

Col. w. P. Richardson is in Seat tie and will leave for Juneau on the steamer Alameda next Monday, ac- cording to telegram received this morning by Major P. w. Davison, dis bursting officer of the Alaska Road Commission. Col. Richardson in his telegram stated also that as soon as the money appropriated for road work becomes available. which will be on July 1st, the work in all districts of Alaska will be pushed to the limit. Captain J. c. Mehaffey who has been making an examination of the Possibilities of road up the Taku River. returned yesterday after hay ing made an inspection of the two sides of the river for considerable dis tance up the stream.
 Captain Mehaffey reported that in his opinion the feasible route for the road would be along the south side of the river on account of the glacial streams and also on account of the live glacier which is rapidly advanc- ing on the north side.
 Major Davison stated this morning that no money for the building of the road would be available this year and that further investigation would be necessary.
 We have to investigate the route, approximate cost and the benefit to
 be derived from the road" said the Major. AS our road would only run short distance up the river to the
 boundary, this would be practically useless until the Canadian road of-
 ficials cooperate with us and con- tinue the building of the road from
 the boundary to Atlin. All this will
 have to be determined before we can

PUT OUT OF

Our ~pacifsts are a mixed and motley, not to
say pestiferous, crowd of people who were
drawn into temporary alliance to oppose the
government in its declaration of war on Ger
many and labored to impede the United States
in the prosecution of that war. Two sorts OF
lagitators, conscientless and conscientious, have
been of the same opinion that it would be high
lily sinful, in this particular instance, to resist
wrongdoers by force Of arms. One wing OF
this queer coalition has habitually invoked di-
vine assistance in furtherance of its plans,
while the other is inclined to place less reliance
on supernai aid than OH internal machines.
Nevertheless they have ~co-operated ardently,
and whenever any perfervid pacifst or anti
American has acclaimed about the wickedness
of war with Germany every spy and bomber
has taken heart.
The action of our government in declaring
that a state of war exists puts this ill-assorted
combination out of business. Hereafter they
will have to work separately or in secret; for
open activities tending to embarrass the gov
eminent or to wetblanket the patriotism of the
people will be unpopular and may even invite
a period of sequestration. In case any obstrep-
erous opponent of national defense shall be so
misguided as to manifest disapproval Of our
governments course in any indelicate way, it is
not impossible that his case may. be informally
considered by an impromptu, non-judicial tri-
bunal hastily organized to discourage conduct
designed to give aid and comfort to the ma
TONS enemies.
