Yelled the Brides Table.

Quite q novel idea was carried out
at a recent bridal supper in yelling
the brides table, relates American
Cookery. The table occupied the CEN
ter Of the room and was surrounded
by small tables for the guests. four
at each. Directly over toe bridal table
was an inverted white satin umbrella
Of large size having a dropping fringe
Of artificial orange blossoms. From
the edge Of the umbrella there dropped
a white chiffon veil edged with a white.
wide, satin border which concealed the
table, falling nearly to the hem Of the
tablecloth.
As the bridal party Of IL approached
and surrounded the table the deft pull
ing Of a satin cord caused the veil to
rise clowly and form Itself into a big
puffy pompon affair above the UNI
brella; the effect was very unusual
and very pretty. The lifted veil showed
an unusually elaborate table. The
centerpiece was huge white satin
slipper filed with orange blossoms
standing In the center Of an immense
wedding ring of yellow roses. The
wedding cake was IN heart-shaped
white-satin boxes. White and yellow
chrysanthemums were literally used
in the dining room decorations.

Trend to Chinese Effects.

The tendency of Chinese effects
which appeared early in the season.
In the special form Of evening wraps
and opera coats, is now noticeable in
accessories of daytime wear. For ex-
ample, two interesting Chinese hand
bags have been observed recently.
One was in the shape of an immense
bean, made of painted silk-a pure
Chinese concelt. The other, an in
genious conventionallZed representa-
tion of things Chinese, was a long
tubular bag with four or five fiaring
ruffles giving the well-knOwn pagoda
effect. The bag was embroidered with
colored silk and small beads.
Bits of Chinese embroidery are seen
as trimming on hats, coats and even
muffs. Green jade bracelets are at,
tached to many muffs, as "A means of
securing them TO the wrist, and
carved ivory figures in handles, hat,

LISTEN TO THE BLACKSMITH
Ayers That His Equine Friends Are
as Proud Of New Shoes as
Little Boys.

We happened to hold converse with
a horseshoer the other day. lie Is a
veteran who can remember the day
when he not only had to forge his
own shoes, but even the nails that
tackled them on. He says that horses
are like little boys. Some Of them are
Intensely proud Of new pair OF shoes,
He mentioned one mare that tries to
turn In at the shop door every time
she passes. She Is so fond OF the
feel Of new shoes that she fairly
prances when she leaves the shop
Then he told about the old doctor,
old mare that would come by herself
TO the shop whenever she was loose.
II always had 20 pick mp her shoes
and look at them" said the smith. III
| happened TO be busy, she would hang
around for an hour ana walt for me 10
examine her feet. II any work was
needed did II, and charged II up 10
the doctor. II her shoes were all
right, | would give them a few taps
with the hammer, and then the ole
girl was satisfied" The smith thinks
that mares are prouder than geldlngs
OF a new pair Of shoes. He attributes
this to natural feminine good sense,
rather than vanity. We don't vouch
for the truth Of his anecdotes, but we
will say that II Is hard to find more
interesting man than this blacksmith
or any blacksmith. He is always a
good story-teller and we imagine that
the rhythmic ring OF hammer on iron
develops his inagination.--Farm Life

An interesting fact Is that at the

resulted in an average of $500 per

ing for 10000, Argentine money, or
approximately $1,000 United States

steadily In the market for high-class
breeding stock, the closer relations
which are being established between
this country and Argentina will have
a tendency TO greatly increase our
trade. Our position is strengthened.

breeding stock at the international
show, Chicago, was Of the highest

numbers represented and their uniform
merit made a most favorable impress

There is no cure for glanders, and
