Gently had the pleasure of attending:
As the band played the wedding
march we were ushered to our plac-
es, mine being right opposite the
bride and groom. The former wore
a white taffeta dress of the latest
fashion, white kid shoes, silk stock
ings and net wedding veil trimmed
with orange blossoms. The groom
wore huge white rose pinned 20
his coat lapel, with streamers Of
white ribbon hanging from il. Each
boy in the party had in their upper
coat pocket white handkerchief
with an American flag printed there
on, folded Just so.
After a blessing in Tosimpshan
We enjoyed a delicious wedding sup

bride put the knife into the wedding
cake, which was then carried to the
man at the head of the table. who
did the carving. The cake was an
immense angel food affair with the
cutest little bride and groom dolls
on top. We each saved a piece of
the cake to sleep on. wrote my sev-
Ell names on paper, put them in an

my pillow, while the cake lay for

After supper there was anothe'
blessing, then speeches by friends
and relatives of the happy pair, all
in Tosimpshan. Then a wonderful
thing happened. Four women, each
holding cardboard fish, sang
song which is only used on very i'm
portant occasions. Then each made
a little speech and tore up her fish,
afterwards holding up a picture of
the American eagle. Old Glory was
then hoisted into view while every
body stood up and sang the Star
Spangled Banner, after which all the
people applauded as II they were

THE EFFECT OF A
POCKET FULL OF MONEY

Did you ever stop to note the sat
isfaction on the face of the fellow
rattling a pocket full of money? OF
course he was happy. Such happi-
ness can be made general in extend
ing the scope by having town full
of money. To get pocket full of
money an honest man has to worl:
for it. The only methol by which a
town can be kept full of money is
by combined and persistent effort.
The whole community must work
harmoniously along lines that will
yield ready cash. The worth of a
town may be more properly gauged
by the prosperity arising from hav-
ing II always full Of ready cash than
by its large population. It is easy
to imagine an overgrown town where
everybody is hard up and has moth
Ing profitable to do, but II is not so
easy to find men hard up In a town
full of money. Such. certainly,
would be only the ne'er-do-wells,
who lack ambition to gather 1t in.
Therefore 1t seems wiser to direct
community effort toward filling the
city with ready cash than increas-
ing permanent population.
II an alrplane passed over the city
every morning and dropped bushel
of gold twenties II would not be long
until everybody in town, except few
who would be certain they were coun-
terfeit and those too lazy to pick
them up, would have plenty of
money. Even those who were not
fortunate enough to be on hand
where the gold dropped would soon
have a pocket full of II from its cir
culation and every citizen would en-
Joy all the good money could buy.
In that case nobody would care a
continental for alfalfa. beans, fruit
and the like as money crops. The
biplane would supply more than
could be hoped to gain from agricul-
ture and horticulture.
What We are getting ready to say
is this; The tourist who comes with
money in his pocket, stays until he
spends It and goes home to get more,
is OF greater value to the city than
those who stay. overcrowd popula-
tion and get hard up. Such pros

 machine that counts for most is still

ence. Our projected flight to Paris is purely by friendly arrangement and as a matter of treaty rights we have no more right to fly over France than any street boy has to come romping through my garden. One of the most important pieces of business before the. conference, in fact, is to arrange the in ternatonal agreements defining the rights of commercial aviators and air planes passengers travelling across the international boundaries.
 But we are assuming that all this will be done, and we are making our plans accordingly.
 And when we get them working. do you know what it is, going to do to the size of your country and of the world.

Instead of spending weeks gathering to- gether a caravan and other weeks cut ting his way through forest, or driving through desert on camels, he can go there with us practically overnight, have his little look around and whether he stays a day of six months, come back the same way.
 Nowhere is there place where the airplane cannot reach.
 And what is it going to mean? Chiefly, vast speeding up of the com mercial life of the world. Unfortunately, to do important business together, we have generally to bring our bodies to a conference. The telephone, the cable. wireless, are all right up to 8 certain limit. but the time comes when you have to be face to face with your man. By enabling business men from the ends of the earth to get together at any place on the earth within a week, the airplane is going to increase the speed, quicken the pulse and the life-blood of business as 1t has been quickened only by the invention of the railroad and the telegraph.
 And not by carrying passengers only. Your newspaper will have an example of what mean by speeding up when you can have your pictures of great European events brought by aerial post the day after they have happened The price may be high, but you will find the service worth paying for.

PARIS TENDENCIES.

Paris hints that it may exploit the Alsatian modes in the spring and be- gins with a huge Alsatian bow inst to get into the swing. In the mean time, even though the weather is rather warm, every woman who laws claim to style appears in a swathing Of fur. Fischer is the new fur which has been brought out as a sunrise and every woman who can afford to indulge in the fad of the moment ,s wearing small stole or senara+s scarf Of this pelt. The long verv long, stole scarf is seen, and also +ba single skin, which is exceedingly chic with very snugly fitting suit or tailored street dress
 A long gray squirrel scarf is about eight inches wide and Is worn so that 1t crosses on one shoulder. one end falling at the back and the other at the front. The ends are fnishe l with gray leather fringe and reach to about the waistline.
 Leather blouses are another new feature which tends to make the suit popular. One of pink buckskin has short tunic and is embroidered in black and white braid.

Just today we chanced to meet Down upon the crowded street; And I wondered whence he came, What was once his nations name. So asked him, "Tel1 me true, Are you Pole or Russian Jew, English, Scotch, Italian, Russian, Belgian, Spanish, Swiss, Moravian, Dutch or Greek or Scandinavian ?" Then he raised his head on high, AS he gave me this reply:
 What I was is naught to me, In this land of Liberty; In my soul as man to man,
 I am just American"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Remove the paper labels from both ends of your spool of thread, then immerse the spools in very hot par aff1ne wax. The spCols should be al
 lowed to stay for 30 minutes or even more, keeping the wax hot all of the time that the spools are in it. At the end of this time take out the spools
 and rub them well with a soft clean piece of white cloth so as to remove all superhuous wax. The result will be as nicely waxed thread as can be bought at any Of the stores.
