For brides who decide against the
conventional white satin and long veil,
pretty hats of white malines and small
white flowers have been provided with
long ends of malines falling from the
back to be wrapped about the neck
and shoulders. For these simpler we'd
dings organdie dresses and organdie
hats give the bridesmaids every chance
for lovely color and quaint design in
their frocks and millinery. Organdie
and net, or organdie and lace combined
make fascinating wedding gowns.
There are many ways of draping the
veil. One very good way is to gather
the tulle into a band of silver lace to
form a close-fitting cap another is ar
ranged in a larger cap with double
frill about the face-as shown in the
picture, and a third presents the veil
falling from a cOronet of fine lace,
wired to hold it in position.

Conservative Muse of History.

1t is the unhappy usage Of our
schools and universities to study the
history of mankind only during periods
of mechanical unprogressiveness. The
historical ideas of Europe range be-
tween the time when the Greeks were
going about the world on foot or horse
back or in galleys or sailing ships, to
the days when Napoleon, Wellington
and Nelson were going about at very
much the same pace in much the same
vehicles and vessels. At the advent of
steam and electricity the muse of his
tory holds her nose and shuts her eyes.
Science will study and get the better
of a modern disease, as for example,
sleeping sickness, in spite of the fact
that ii has no classical standing, but
our history schools would be shocked
at the bare idea of studying the effect
of modern means of communication
upon administrative areas, large or
small. This defect in our historical
training has made our minds politi-
cally sluggish.-H. G. Wells in New
Republic.

June weddings make a bright paren-
thesis in the grave story of war lines.
Just as many lovely brides grace just
as many beautiful bridal professions
this June as in Junes gone by-and
the joy they radiate is more thar ever
welcome. No one expects the bride to
curtail any of her privileges on her
great day. 1t IN but once in a life
time and she is entitled to make the
most of it. The pomp and circumstance
of wal is not to be compared to it.
Society c~ountenances the pretty ex-
travagances of the wedding pageant
and styles play into the hands of those
who plan them. Malines and georgette
crepe make the more than ever pic
turesque hats for bridesmaids. Some
of these have wells OF malines extend
ed into scarfs that swathe the throat
and partly cover the face. Special
thought has been bestowed on the ma
tron of honor-the most dignified mill
linery featuring her position. In a
procession where there were two
flower girls, small soft hats of narrow,
val lace, trimmed with little rose buds
were allowed them. In this company
the matron of honor wore a wide
brimmed hat of ~sand-colored malineS
and pale-gold lace, with a full short
mantle of malines to match with collar
of gold lace. The bridesmaids rejoiced

producing resources of the country and
production was going to count for a
whole lot in winning the war.
81 have been here so many years
and have done nothing but keep books,
Mr.. Larkin," she said. Year after
year, morning and night 1 have done
the same thing. l was just fresh from
school when 1 came here but 1 liked the
work so we'll 1 stayed. There are plen-
ty of girls who can keep the books as
well as l have done, and we are slack
now in the factory, anyway. The coun'
try does need poultry and eggs,
and Pm going to put my efforts where
they are needed. 1t will be hard for
me at first, but I like hard things. I
couldn't stay here all my life. Old
maids soon become a nuisance around
any office and I realize that I have
reached the stage where / am consid-
cred an old maid. I'm not complaining
though. I like being an old maid"
But when Pearl left the Office she
wasn't quite sure that she liked being
an old maid. The first year she had
been there she had dreamed of the
time when she would leave the employ
of the Larkin company, to get mar
ried. There would be a presentation
to her Just as there had been to her
predecessor when she left to get mar
ried. The real leaving vas as far Diff
ferent from the dream as most reali-
ties are from dreams. She wasn't
leaving to get married and there wasn't
any presentation. The employees had
come to look upon her as a fixture and
were too surprised at her leaving to
think of anything like that, or if they
had thought of it they couldn't think
of a suitable present to give to a girl
that was leaving to take charge Of a
poultry farm.
Thre months after Pearl left the
office she made up her mind that she
hated being an old maid. Single bles-
sedness was all right when she had
had the companionship of Mr.. Larkin
at the office, but on the poultry farm
there wasn't anyone to talk to. Hens
weren't very sociable. 1t had taken her
about three months to get the farm on
a working basis. 1t was a small one,
hut it required all her attention and
the assistance of a small boy after
school hours.
When the price of milk went up
Pearl bought a COW. Milking was the
worst proposition she had ever tackled

NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE
Colonel Had Wanted to Hear One
Original Excuse, and Private
Duffy Furnished 1t.

An elderly colonel, about to retire,
was holding "ofice hours" for the last
time, and four old offenders were
brought in for punishment.
The colonel looked them over wear
lily, and then said:
tive been listening to the yarns and
excuses you men have concocted for
the past three years, and I'm tired Of
them all. If any of you can think of
something new-some excuse I've
never heard before-Tn let you of
without punishment. If you can't I'll
give you the limit"
az took just one drink and it made
me i'll, colonel" began the first.
"Old stuff" said the colonel, $50 I'll
give you the limit"
The second offenders alarm clock
had failed to work, and the third had
had bad news from home. There was
nothing new in this, and each was
given the limit.
However, the colonel's eyes bright
ened at the approach of the fourth cul-
prit, an Irishmap.
! "Be original. Duffy. Tell me some
thing new" urged the colonel.
"Well, colonel" Duffy began, with
his eyes a-twinkle, when Oh heard the
sad news that you was goin' to lave
us it made me so dowQhearted that Oh
whit to the nearest saloon and drown
ed me sorrows"

After washing out her ink wells,
sharpening all her lead pencils, which
she placed in ID row, and changing all
the nibs in her pens, Pearl Garrett look
ed at the tidy desk before her with a
smile of satisfaction. She would leave
everything as scrupulously neat as h
had kept it for the past ten years; it
would be a good example to the girl
who was taking her place, she thought.
New girls, especially ones fresh from
school, were always untidy about their
desks-the n e she had come in con-
tact with were, at any rate. She could
pardon anything in a girl but untidi-
ness and she knew from experience
that the manager, Mr.. Louis Larkin,
was as particular in that respect as
she was herself. AS she thought of
over her. He had become so used to
her in the ten years that she had been
his bookkeeper, and had depended so
much upon her, it would make him IN
comfortable for a while until the new
girl vas broken into his ways, or rath-
er hers (Pearl's). Whoever the new
girl was she would have to be a pretty
good one to get along with Mr.. Larkin
that he was a crank, but he did
like to have everything Owe smooth
ly. Pearls notice was the first jar
she had ever given him.
Leaving, Miss Carrot" he had ex-
claimed incredulously "Whatever is
the matter?"
Then Pearl had explained her reason.
Her young brother had been drafted
and his small poultry farm just outside
the city needed looking after and there
was none who could look after it'but
her. 1t was her patriotic duty to do it,
she felt. 1t would be keeping up the
