WEDDING pay In Rorneo.

On the wedding day, in Borneo, the
bride and bridegroom are brought
from opposite ends Of the village to
the spot where the ceremony is to be
performed. They are made to sit on
two bars of iron. that blessings as
lasting and health as vigorous may
attend the pair. A cigar and betel-
leaf, prepared with areca-nut, are next
put into the hands of the bride and
bridegroom. "a
One of the priests then waves two
fowls over the heads Of the couple,
and in a long address to the Supreme
Being calls down blessings upon the
pair. and implores that peace and hap
piness may attend them. After the
heads Of the affianced have been
knocked against each other three or
four times, the bridegroom puts the
prepared betel-leaf and cigar into the
mouth Of the bride. while she does the
same to him. whom she thus acknowl-
edges as her husband.

Disguised by the slurring inuendoes
Of the women, for Johnny had always
rated Mary just little below the an
gels, he decided over desperate
lemon soda that at least he'd give the
girl a chance to explain. But Johnny
couldn't imagine standing the suspense
of not knowing for another day, so he
hung around the saloon till closing
time. Then he hid in the dark door
way Of the fiat building where Mary
lived.
At half an hour after midnight a
taxi stopped in front of the house and
a man helped Mary out. johnny heard
the parting words:
"Then I'll be at the Woodville sta
ton to meet you at $50 day after to-
morrow" the man said.
Sure said Mary, 'and never can
thank you enough for the grand time
had tonight"
Not very encouraging words these
for man who wants to believe the
best Of his sweetheart!
Running up the steps, Mary stopped
suddenly as she spied man hiding in
the shadows. Mary" said Johnny
in hoarse voice, putting hand on
her shoulder. MARY" but he could
go no further. For Mary's face shone
with relief and happiness at the sight
of him. And Mary's voice was bub-
bling with eagerness to explain.
"Oh, Johnny" she said, "Pve been
to the Winter Garden! All my life
I've wanted to go to one of them swell
shows, and when Mr.. Lewis says:
What can l do to persuade you to
come to the country?' says: Take me
there And Johnny, all the time he
talked to me about the great big
house he is going to bamboOzle his
grandmother into lending him the
money to build when she comes to visit
them, and his wife says she can't come
if he don't bring some one home from
the city to help her do the work, and
he saw me in the window and likes
the way work; and he says there's
a little house we can live in, and wen
go day after t0-morrow--Jo nnny-"
Mary paused for breath.
'But we can't live together in lit
tie house, Mary, until" Johnny's
voice was trembling with the hope of
supreme happiness.
"Of course not, Johnny" Mary an
swered his unspoken question.

FEAsTs THAT WERE FEAsTs!
State Dinners Of Old Romans Surely
Never Have Been Duplicated
by Other Peoples.

Those who think the Thanksgiving
! table is the limit In plenty might con-
slider a small part OF the menu of a
state dinner given In the time of Nero.
It should be remembered that every
one ate everything that was served,
and when the stomach was stuffed
to its physical limit there were long
feathers at hand to tickle the throat
and relieve the feaster of what he
had already gorged himself with. The
meals were eaten with the diners at
full length on cushions with their
heads resting on the laps of slave
girls, other guests, or supported by
their elbows. One feast included:
Dormice stewed with honey and
pepper, sausages, served on individ-
ual stoves, plums with kernels Of
pomegranates. pea-hen eggs with
wheat ears hidden in the center, peas,
beef kidneys, African eggs, custard,
lobster, fowl crammed with nuts, paps
of sow powdered with crystal sugar.
rabbit larded with fish fins, relishes,
wild boar, dates, almonds. little pigs
stuffed with sweetmeats, blackblrds'
tongues, grapes. locust fried in honey,
honey favored jelly blocks encasing
bfoiled humming birds, breads,
cheese cakes, whole thrushes with
bones removed, sugar-loafs crusted
with caviar. haunch of bear, fried
snails, cold tarts dipped in boiling
honey, bacon dripping with goose liv-
er gravy. chitterlings, cells stuffed with
branded peaches, drinkable perfumes.
salad of chestnuts, pickles and hearts
of roses. wine-flavored whipped cream
floating on chilled turtle soup, and
many, many other dishes. washed
down with over one hundred varieties

narrower bands finish the sleeves.
The loose girdle across the front, fas-
tening with large buckle, the very
long opening at the front, the hand
some lace chemisette, and the unde-
fined waist line, all emphasize the
adoption of good points in the new
modes by the designer of this frock.
Another straight-line dress asserts
its approval of deep slashes forming
panels in the tunic, in accordance
with a much-slashed mode. For these
slashes appear in suits as well as
dresses, in tunics and the skirt por-
ton of coats, among the handsomest
models. Each of the slashes in the
dress pictured is outlined w.th bor-
der Of embroidery and narrow en-
broidered border defines the collar and
the turned-back cuffs that finish grace
fully three-quarter length sleeves. The
browning glory of this dress is pre-
sented in its wide girdle, made of the
material and finished with a hand
some fringe, that is adjusted in the
approved fashion about the waist.

what delightful winter we have
had" is an expression that could be
heard almost anywhere when the
topic of the weather became the sub
ject of conversation. Not only in the
Middle West and "down east" could
1t be heard, but also in the Far West,
up in the Canadian West. There
the same remarkable features that
brought forth wonderful winter ex-
listed. Reports from all parts of the
country, from. famed Medicine Hat in
Alberta to Winnipeg in Manitoba, in-
dictate that all through the winter
season very little cold weather was
experienced. In December, we read
that golf playing had put into the dis
card all ice sports, that farmers were
caught "red-handed" blowing their
fields. In January, the Alberta yeo-
man got out his tractor and in his
shirt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1921 crop. During
February, in Saskatchewan, one
farmer narrowed fifty acres and
planted the seed. "Why, yes. Of
course, in March," said an Iowa
farmer, who had just heard from his
son, who was looking after the West
ern Canadian farm, "my boy writes
me they had some snow. and few
cold dips, but what did that matter?
The cattle and the horses came
through the winter in better condition
than they looked three or four months
ago. Grass was plentiful on the prai-
ries, the stubble was rich and valu-
able as food. and the straw stacks
and groves proved ample for shelter"
Spring is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer. his machinery IS
all in shape for springs work, and
he is looking forward to an excellent
crop year. Last fall there was
splendid lot of moisture that perme-
ated the ground sufficiently to leave
perfect seed bed. Indications are
now that the crop will 60 in in the

mination. Then, with the heightened
days of May and June, the many

with soil of which there Is none

be seen preparing for ripening har-
vest the hundreds of thousands. of
acres Of wheat, oats. barley, rye. al

hearts Of the Western Canada farmers
swell with pride as they reasonably
look forward to an abundant harvest.

that those who live there, and have
lived in other countries. prefer it to
any they have experienced elsewhere.
1t is true the winters as a rule are
colder than are those in countries
lying much farther south. but it is
also true that they are tempered by
a dryness of the atmosphere that

PANTHERS ROMP ON
MARION CADETS I'M
THE OPENING GAME
Wheeler Pitches Good Ball, Al
lowing Visitors Only
Four Hits
BY M. e. BAKER

In the opening game of their sched-
ule, Birmingham Southern defeated
Marion Military institute yesterday by
the score of to 2. The game was
void of any thrilling situations and
fast play For Marion, Jellicorse was
the outstanding star, pasting out two
doubles and fielding his position per-
fectly Madison also secured dou-
BILE for the cadets.
The cadets other hit was made by
Lewis. who also twirled a good game,
although his support was rather wob-
bly, at times. He retired nine men via
the strike-out route. several times
having the Panther batters guessing.
For the Painters, several men
played good ball, chiefly among whom
were Norton. Griffin. Green and
Propst.
Norton secured two hits and handled
five chances in the outfield without
an error. Griffin and Green also made
two hits each, one of the latters being
a double, while Propst banged out two
safetles out of two trials. Wheeler,
in the box. twirled good ball, allow
ing the cadets only four hits and get
ting one hit himself.
CADETS FIRST RUN
The cadets first run came in the
first inning as result of oliver being
hit by pitched ball and a double by
Madison, who was retired trying to
stretch his hit into triple. In the
last OF the second, Greer singled, but
was left on base. In the latter part of
the third came the Panthers' big in
ming. Wheeler singled and Norton fol-
lowed suit. Griffin attempted to dodge
one of Lewis curves and pasted a
single to centerfield Rowe singled
and stole second. Ma" Green dou-
bled, became overambitious in trying
to stretch his hit to a triple and was
tagged out. However four runs had
already been scored, which were suf-
ficient to win the game. This inning
was the only one in which the Pam
theirs scored during the entire game.
In the fifth, both sides got two men
on the bases, but could not advance
them and they were left stranded. The
sixth inning also passed without scor-
ing. In the lucky seventh, Argo, for
Marion, walked and scored a minute
later on Jellicorse's double This
ended the scoring for the afternoon
neither side threatening seriously to
score thereafter.
PAINTERS DO WELL
As whole, the Panthers showed up
very well. Only three errors were
made, which was very good, consider
ing that 1t was the first game of the
season. Coach Brown appears to have
a well-balanced team, which. judging
from it's initial game. is going to make
trouble for some of it's opponents dur
ing the coming season.
Aubrey Miller is slated to pitch the
game tomorrow. with Griffin doing the
receiving. The game will begin at 8
o'clock. Score:
