TOR many months discussions,
n pro and con, have been car
ried on concerning the ritual
of the marriage ceremony in many
churches. Some oppose, some up
hold, the clause, love, honor and
obey" 1t remained for one man to
definitely settle the matter for him
self. He is DR.. William Windsor,
we'll known phrenologist, of Pitts
burg. cleft out of his marriage
ceremony the clause which has
caused so much debating.
The only thing in common with
other marriages was that an or
dained minister tiled the knot" The
ritual of the wedding omitted all
the promises and leaned toward
compliments. 1t was a double ring
ceremony, the bride first presenting
the groom with ring, at the same
time praising his courage, truthful
ness and grace" In return the
groom credited his bride with four
virtues aturalness, purity, just
ice and beauty"
A T LAST the society editor has
~ met girl after her own heart.
The average girl of today who
has any connection whatsoever with
the social life Of the city seems to
have lost for the time being, part
of her Brains and intelligence, for
her statements are vague and her
answers to questions most indefinite.
She spends an hour in telling what
could easily be told in five minutes.
She does not know what or, what
not she wises to tell.
1t was only within the last week
that the editor had occasion to meet
one of the city's most attractive and
lovely young girls. An appointment
had been made and Miss Omaha
was on time, TO the exact minute.
There is no ne1 TO state that it was
delightful surprise. She entered
the Office quietly, stated her story in
direct manner and then answered
concisely all questions asked OF her.
In less than 10 minutes she was
gone.
What rosebud she is among the
sun flowers. A charm of manner, a
poise and grace which can not be
eoualed by any of her associates is
her greatest gift. Her intelligence
is not detriment to her . social
status, but is her greatest asset
Would that thsre we're more girls
in the world like her!

have no terrors for her in converse

Miss Baum a1so-traveled extens-

As is nearly every Omaha girl of
prominence, Miss Baum was a maid
of Ak-Sar-Ben in the reign of Eliz-
abeth Pinksen. now Mrs. Kenneth
Paterson.
At the present time she is treas
urer of the Junior league, an otgafl-
ization of the younger girls of the
city which is pledged to aid all
charities. Her interests are not all
confined, however, to the officer
ship. Each Saturday finds her at
the City Mission where she teaches
sewing to large class of children.

especially for evening wraps. Capes
are full around the lower edge, the
fullness resulting from the use of
godets. Considerable fur is en-
ployed for evening wraps both as
trimming and for the entire wrap.
Duvetyn is also used, and for less
dressy wraps there are some smart
models in wooden plaids.
Two furs used together are a
trimming feature. Monkey and
black poney skin are one of the
combinations noted.
