been seated, the doors of the church are closed and the procession forms in the vestibule. At a signal the music of the wedding march is played and the bridal procession ad- vances. The ushers walk two and two, usually about four paces apart, then follow the bridesmaids in the same formation, then comes the maid of honor alone, and after her the flower girls. If there are but two flower girls and they are small enough, it is very sweet to have them at the rear of the bride carry Ing her long train. But if their is no long train they precede the bride, and at a double distance the bride, leaning on her fathers right arm, should be the last to follow them.
 Arriving at the chancel, the ushers go to right and left, usually remain ing below the chacel steps, the bridesmaids take their places at each side of the chancel, and the maid of honor stands at the left and next to the bride. As the brides father leads her up to the steps, she with draws her arm, and as she does so the bridegroom takes her hand in his right and puts 1t through his left arm. As this is done they both turn to face the chancel.
 It does not matter whether she takes his arm or whether they stand hand in hand in front of the clergy man.

than two days without washing. and one day is even better Precipitation and the rubbing of shoes against the stockings combine to wear out the stoutest flores unless these are re- stored to new resistance by frequent washing. Even if the hose are not washed, if they are rested for day or two between wearings. they will last twice as long.
 Foresight will tell us to reinforce places that are growing thin in toe or heel. and so postpone the hour of daring It will advise us to pull silk stockings on very gently. put ting the foot into .he toe and heel inside-out, and then drawing the silk top over the foot and easing it up a little at a time instead of pulling from the very top of the stocking Most runs are started al this time of pull and strain.
 Hindsight after the damage is done teaches us to rub with a dampened bar of soap the first broken thread of run. when there is not time to take the stocking off. This stops the run temuorarily. If a dropped stitch has run the entire length of the stocking, however, don't , despair and throw the stocking away. Thread up your sewing machine with silk to match the stocking, turn the latter inside out, and carefully stitch the two sides of the run together.

H's Up 10 the Bride to ShowI Husband HoW to Treat Her.

nographer, who would give notice and quit if she failed to receive the courtesy due a lady: he will work his wife as he would work, no slave, and pay her less than he would a scrub woman. and yet consider that he is a good husband because he is givine her all that she demands of him. She asks nothing, and gets notfjng.
 "so begin by insisting quietly but firmly upon your husband remember ing that you are lady, even if you are his wife, and treating you as such. That will not only give you dignity in his eyes, but save innum- erable scenes and barrels of tears and make for the peace and happi- ness of the home. And settle the al lowance question for good and all be- fore he is well acquainted with you to say mo- There are 30 times less friction in getting money out of a man once a month than there Is in holding him up for few dollars for the housekeeping every day.
 Train your husband to consider you.
 Before marriage. a man can re- member a woman's birthday, and that Christmas comeSon the twenty filth of December, land her tastes There is no excuse for his forgetting it after marriage, and he wouldn't except that he is too lazy to make the effort to remember, and his wife condones his forgetfulness.
 Don't make this mistake. Tie g string around his finger, and remind him of your birthday, and what you want, until you scar it into his con sciousness, and he will be as pleased as Punch with himself, and go around boasting to his fellows of what g great lover he is, and how he never forgets the little anniversaries by which women set so much store.
 Teach /your husband to show ap- preciation of what you do for him.
 When a man sits down and gob- bles up dinner that woman has spent hours preparing for him. with out apparently noticing that she has taken the time and trouble to cook his favorite dishes; when he takes all of her labor and sacrifice. and devotion as matter of course. and no more than his due, it is mighty discouraging to the woman, but 1t is largely her fault. She could have taught her husband to say thank you as we teach children to do.
 Teach your husband to show you affection. Don't let him be dumb Most men are flattered to death to know that their wives care enough about them to want them to be senti- mental, and for a woman to be toe proud to ask her husband for love is us silly as it would be for starving person to refuse to ask for bread.
 Unless a man is a brute, and there are not many such, he can be trained into being a good husband if only his wife has the gumption to do it." sai6 the old woman who had tried it.

By DOROTHY DIX

My dear, said a woman who had celebrated her golden wedding, in talking to bride, If you wish to be happy though married, there are two things to remember: The first is to get off on the right foot. The sec ond is to train up your husband in the way you want him to go.
 Almost every man is very mucn in love when he gets married. / He fully intends to be a good husband, and make his wife happy, and when hc fails to do thiss as he so often Goes, he sins ofSener through iEnor- arce than through intention.
 The reason that widowers make the best husbands is because they have cut their wisdom teeth on the eccentricities of the feminine tep- perament. The man who is essaying matrimony for the first time has not had this advantage. He has had no experience in being husband. He hasn't even had a good example set him by his father in how to treat a wife, and so he goes blundering along, doing the things he should not dc, and leaving undone the things he should do, just because he knows nc better.
 50 it is up to every woman to teach her husband now to be good husband, and. like all edu"ation,N it should begin in the cradle, so to speak Young husbands like young ba, ies, are plastic. and easily molded into any desired form, !ut af.er they get old they become set anl canpot be changed.
 Therefore, during the honeymoon, while your husband Is still romanti- = --k4 Nan al ing al his luck in getting you, in- trench yourself firmly. in the position you intend to hold in the family. Every bride starts out her married life on a pedestal. If she climbs down and becomes a door mat it is her own fault.
 Never forget that every wife writes her own price tag, and that her husband takes her at her own valuation. Whether you are a little queen in your own household, or an unpaid drudge, depends entirely upon yourself
 If you demand respect from your husband he will accord it to you. If you demand consideration, he will give it to you. If you insist upon & fair divide of the family income, it will be turned over to you without question. IT you are DOunu to ha 'o good clothes and amusements, your husband will hustle out and get them for you.
 .sOn the other hand, if you are a meek and patient Griselda who will let man swear at you, nine times out of ten he will do it. If you are poor worm of the dust who will stand being trodden upon, you will be ground under the heel of ty- rant If you let your husband mo- nopolize the pocketbook and dole out pennies to you, he will ask you what you did with that quarter he gave you week before last. If you will stand for going shabby and staying at home. husband will leave you there while he gallivants off with a showier lady.
 ''Furthermore, man will treat his wife with a lack of consideration that he would not dare show his ste-

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS
 AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calo- tabs. the Purified and Re- fined Calomel Tablets That Are Nausealess, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds, coughs. sore throat and influenza can be de- pended upon for full effectiveness until the liver is made thoroughly ac- tive That is why the first step in the treatment is the new, nausealess calomel tablets called Caiotabs. which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calomel. Doctors also point out the fact that an. active liver may go a long way towards preventing influ- enza and colds and is one of the most important factors in enabling the pa tient to successfully withstand an at tack and ward off pneumonia.
 One or two Catstabs on the tongue at bed time. with swallow of water that's all. No salts. no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eating, pleasure or work. Next morn ing your cold has vanished, your liver Is active, your system is puri- fled and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast.

proceed to the church. For this req son the bridegroom always sends iheIr bouquets to the brides home
 " hen It IS time to go to the church the entire bridal party Is conveyed .here and awaits the bride in the vestibule. Usually the mother of tbe bride goes to the church in the first carriage alone. or she may incIuo. one or two bridesmaids, but there must be one vacant seat in her car rage or car for her husband. who VIII return home with her.
 The next vehicles convey the maid or honor and the rest of the brides maids. A bride may have as many bridesmaids as she wishes, hut tbe number should be in keeping with the size of the wedding. At a large wedding I have seen as many as 12 put usually four or six and perhaps the same number or less, of flower siris Is best. I prefer fewer flower girls than bridesmaids (n fact no more than, two) and I also think that more than eight bridesmaids, no mat ter how large the wedding, makes Tor less pleasing ceremonial.
 The bride, whose carriage arrives last Tn the procession to the church, drives with her father onlys Her carriage remains standing in front or the entrance of the church until she and her husband, in place of ner rather, return from the ceremony and drive back to the house or wherever the reception is to be held.
 At the Church
 Allowing an appropriate length of time before the bridal party Is to arrive, the ushers, supplied with lists Of relatives and friends who are to be placed in the reserved pews. go to the church to make certain that everything Is In readiness for the ceremony. Often they mark off the reserved pews with white ribbon, but this must be so arranged as to per- mt the barrier to be dropped and replaced with ease. To avoid any mis- hap white bows alone Are often used to mark the pews of the bridal party.
 Sometimes. just before the bride makes her entrance two ushers take white ribbon which has been at- tached to the first pew, run 1t down the aisle and attach it to one of the pews about the middle or end of the aisle as a signal that the bride Is arriving. This ribbon is not re- moved until the members of the inn mediate family of the bride and groom should arrive just before the ceremony and are shown to front seats. Pews on thef left are for the relatives of the bIrde and on the right for those of the bridegroom.
 It is customary to dispatch a num- Der of servants to the vestibule of the church to take the hats and cloaks of the bridal party They should be alert and not mix up the clothing so as to retard the bridal procession upon leaving the church. The best man should see that the bridegroom's hat is in readiness for him at the door of the church.
 The mother of the bride is the last to be ushered to hDr seat, and her entrance is the sign for the cers- mony to begin. Any tardy guests should either slip upnoticed into one of the rear pews or remain standing.
 After the mother of the bride has

THE CHURCH WEDDING
By JULIA HOYT (Mrs. Lydig HOyt)

Fortunately there is no stern law prescribing a special time for we'd ding. Marriages may take place at any time it suits one's case, and, perhaps, the convenience of the clergyman. But the most fashiona- ble hour In New York at the present time is o'clock in the- afternoon. Not so long ago the high noon we'd ding was the most popular. but now it has gone quite out of favor. For this reason I shall not cover it in detail. for it differs from the after noon wedding only in that wedding breakfast is served after the cere- mony. A reception in the form of an afternoon tea is held after the 3 o'clock afternoon wedding.
 At Home of Bridegroom
 The bridegroom, with the best man and perhaps valet as his only at tendants, proceeds to get ready for the ceremony. Among the many du- ties of the best man he must be a valet, nurse and general superinten- dent to the bridegroom. He usually goes to his home early in the morn- ing and helps him pack his going away" bag, which contains his com plete change of clothing for travel ing after the ceremony.
 The best man then takes this bag to the home of the bride, and it is usually placed in her fathers or brothers room where 1t Is left in readiness After this he takes both the brides and bridegroom's lug gage to the railroad or steamship p terminal and checks it or has 1t placed in the proper stateroom.
 When the married couple are to stay at hotel in town short disr tance away, the best man usually conveys the luggage and registers for them. He also sees that their luggage is placed in their rooms and that everything is in readiness to. receive them.
 Then he returns to the bride groom's house to supervise his toilet Before going to church the bride groom entrusts him with the wed- ding ring. which the best man places in the pocket of his waistcoat. In this pocket he also places the en- 7 velope containing the clergyman's fee. This he gives to the clergy man before or after the ceremony, but in the vestry and never in the church.
 When it is time to go to the church the best man rldeS With the prlde- groom, and it is also his duty to, see that they get to the church in time and, of course. before the arrival of the bride. They go into the ves- try and later both follow the clergy man when he enters the church to perform the ceremony. They both stand on the chancel steps facing the guests and await the bride, the bride groom standing in advance of the best man.
 At Home of Bride
 Meanwhile the bride is dressed under the supervision of her mother. Often her maid of honor or one of the bridesmaids assists her in dress ing. This custom may be reversed, as in my own case, where l remem- Der watching my sister, who was my only Attendant, dressing for some time before began my own toilette at all
 Quite frequently the filters who made the wedding dress are sent to the house to put on any finish ing touches that might be necessary.
 At an appointed time all her wed- ding attendants, such as bridesmaid, the maid of honor and the flower girls gather at her house before they

 Be as formal with this indifferent young man as If you, were writing formal letter. Tell him as many hu- morous stories and incident as you can, give him all the club gossip and current history of your friends, but never befome personal. Allude to yourself rto him and you are gone. Refer to the evening we attended the dance" and he will think you are sentimental. Help him play his own gamel
 The indifferent man is really the most gullible young man of your ac- quaintance if you just let him keep right on being indifferent.

HOW YOU CAN WIN THE INDIFFERENT" I'M A N
By RETTY VINCENT
low can win the indifferent

How can I win the indifferent mans heart?
 How can I make him become in terested in me-this man who is so cold and reserved, but to whom l have taken such a facny?"
 That is what so many girls want to know. The indifferent man Is all ways most popular creature with girls. He never says the things other men say to them, never tries to hold their hands or to be particularly anxious to date up for another even ing. And yet girls write that they cant forget him." and wish to know how to win his heart.
 But has he a heart?
 Yes, indeed. girls, depend upon it that the indifferent man has so much heart that he really doesn't dare trust himself,
 He isn't bashful or fraid to say what he thinks, but he is reserved exceedingly careful of expressing his sentiments-and most anxious not to break anybody's heart.
 To deliberately set your cap for nun hSdHS Idfh IdiiuTt-
 To imagine he is bashful and try to hold his hand longer than neces- sary when he calls is ridiculous. He puts you down as a flirt and never gives you second thought.
 I happen to know of one young miss who had been corresponding with an indifferent young man for several years. She was infatuated d with him and had managed to keep friendly with him all this time, J when once, in a jolly mood. she mailed her letter with the stamp up side down. This, as even the indif- rfent chap knew, is the old-fash- toned school girl way of saying T love you.'
 MT. Indifferent was highly an noyed when he saw the envelope. with the topsy-turvy stamp. He was really flabbergasted. For several weeks he wondered what to do and finally mailed her chilly little note saying he was going out of town for months. The envelope he used was government stamped sonel
 Then what shall a winsome maid do to captivate the heart of this highly indifferent man?
 Ignore him?
 That wouldn't worry him in the least. So many girls are running after him and sending him cards and notes and invitations that he wouldn't even notice that one girl passed him by.
 Why, talk to him, of course, fluat- ter him and get hi mt otalking about himself. Tho most indifferent man in the world loves to talk about him self. Get him to talking about his business, about the boys he used to play with, the books he's read and by the end of the evening he'll tell you all about the girls who ran after him and tried to catch him."
 But always keep to the third per son. Never drag in that terrible ego of your l. Just let him catch you looking sideways at him, let him think you admire him or. try to de-

 WIRE HANDLES

My husband improvised a neat pair of wire handles for the kitchen table drawers. The piece of stiff wire was bent so it formed three sides ot a rectangle with one of the longer sides missing. Each of the short ends was turned outward about one half inch from the ends to make hooks with which the handle could be fastened to the drawer staples. They have proved entirely satisfac- tory. c.

And so it goes. A trip through the darning basket every week is one of the most disheartening things we home women know of

Unless tho run has widened consider ably, this will show no more than the fine seam at the back of the stocking. While such hose are not good for street or dress wear, they may be worn around the house and so save ones best stockings.
