BRIDE OBSCURES THE GROOM
Louisiana Court Has SoIemnly Held
That the Man Does Not Attract
Any Attention.

1t is at last judcially determined.
that the groom at wedding is merely
q necessary incident, accessory, or
piece of furniture. The bride is the
whole cast. In a divorce action in
Louisiana, in which defendant denied
he was the man who had married
plaintiff, and his identity with the
bridegroom was in issue, the court
says:
1.-THE only evidence introduced by
the defendant in support of his de-
Dial that it was he who married plain
tiff in Indianapolis on October 8,
1911, was the testimony of the Pro-
bate judge who performed the cere-
mony and that Of the proprietor Of the
Imperial hotel. The Probate judge
and the proprietor of the Imperial
hotel both testified that they had idcn-
spoken to them when they stepped
of the train In New Orleans; and
from that circumstance, counsel for
defendant argue that the Probate
Judge and the proprietor Of the hotel
would surely have been able to identi-
fy the defendant II he were the in
dividual to whom plaintiff was mar
ried by the Judge in presence Of the
hotel proprietor. We do not think So
With due respect for his honor, the
Probate judge, and for the proprietor
of the Imperial hotel, 1t may be that
the bride attracted more attention
than the groom" - From Vests

"Plumaoe Transformation"

A type of plumage transformation
which appears to have a very clear
adaptive purpose, is what is known
as the ECLIPSE Of the male" 1t is
particularly characteristic Of many
species of ducks, the two sexes Of
which ordinarily have distinct plum
ages. Most ducks moult their flight
feathers all at one time. with the
result that they are quite unable to
fly for term of several weeks after
the breeding season. During this
period they live retired lives among
the secluded waterways of their nest
ing grounds, waiting for growth of
new quilts to equip them for their
autumn migration.
