The Height of Ceremony for a Wedding

THAT churlish graybeard, who, asked what is
the right time to marry, snapped back, "If
you're young, not yet, and if you.e old, not at
all,' does not to have dissuaded anybody
from taking the innumerable and immemorial
STEP The frequent inquiry about what should be
worn at formal wedding is self-evidently stult-
flying because there is no such thing as all
informal wedding. How can any one hear the
solemn ritual of the marriage service without
feeling that here is ceremony sublimated to the
ssmo degree?
Weddings are divided into two sorts-home and
church, but the one is as formal as the other and

Roughing 1t Without the
Roughness

NEW YORK, Sept. 80.
TT is said of Buckingham Castle
that every milk-white pebble
- upon the garden paths looks
SO perfectly polished and placed,
that your foot fairly tingles to
scatter the spic-and-span stones
with a well-placed kick. At least,
that is what an English acquaint-
ance told me. Somewhat as Ne
felt is the way one feels upon
meeting a sportsman or hunts
man every detail of whose dress
and equipment glows with new
ness and crackles with painful
precision. A certain degree Of
devil-may-care ruggedness is the
prerogative Of outdoor life.
Nothin: could be farther apart
than backwoods. and bathrooms,
and they will never mix.

The Calves Are In the Clover.

ONE Of the pet topics of debate among
" men whose minds are on their legs
is whether knickers, displacing trousers,
will ultimately be adopted for all-day,
everyday wear. Their vogue has spread
like a secret confided to a woman. At
many summer resorts they even invaded
the dance-floor, and at one supposedly
smart country wedding the bridegroom,
upsetting polite tradition, was married
in jacket, knickers and the rest, to the
delight of the younger and to the dsmay
of the older set.

Day Dress

CEILING manicuring sets to Fiji

Bolshevists is not more difficult
and discouraging task than urging
formal dress upon Americans. The
wave Of comfort seems to have err
quilted US all. Ten years ago the
man who wore cutaway coat was
regarded half with envy a2d wholly
with admiration. Today, we almost
look at him as at two-headed calf.
He must, in simple charity, be a
briefless barrister, or a blue -blooded
count or headwaiter, or a college
professor "sicklied Ger with the pale
cast Of thought" or a comic-paper
missionary bound heathenward, Or

Early Freeze on

The appearance OF more snow was
not auspiciously received in maritime
circles Tuesday morning because OF
the danger of an early freeze in the
upper Kennebec. 1.-The more snow, the
greater the danger of freeze" was
the way one steamboat man sized up
the situation. There are now several
barges up river or lying in the stream
to go up while more are consigned to
the up river cities and 1t will mean
quick handling to get them to destina-
ton. unload them and get them back.
II the snow would only hold off or
there would come a rise in tempera-
ture. the situation would speedily i'm
prove. but most people look for q cold
wave from the northwest to follow the

Young County Champs
A Novel Garden Story

Erlon English, the Kennebec coun-
ty garden project champion Of the
Boys and Girls Agricultural clubs,
did not win the prize with the gar
den project as he had anticipated. He
had planted potatoes but they rotted
and he was obliged to plant turnips
When he wrote his story he had
anticipated crops of about 30 bushels
of turnips.
. His story is as follows:
Last year ! was in the club and
raised pig, This year I decided
to change to the potato project.
THE last of April l hired my land
and had it plowed. At that time
was going to school, SO I had to
hire my work done.
"The second of June l had my
ground narrowed and the next day
had my potatoes planted. About
four weeks later I found that only
few of them came. I dug into the
hills and found that my seed had
rotted. The seed that 1 used came
from Aroostook County.
Il had to harrow up the piece,
all but four rows. 1t was so late
then that I could not plant it to
anything but turnips. They came
good so 1 weeded them out and
thinned them which took me two
days.
"My potatoes and turnips grew
good this year. I got Ave bushels
of potatoes and expect to get about
thirty bushels of turnips. They are
not ready TO pull so I cannot tell
exactly"
