would stand wear and washing, and
not run papa into debt.
But Sally Ann has to have her
show wedding. She has to trail up
the church aisle in her white satin
and her tulle veil, and all the rest
Of it. And by the time father has
paid for the church and the flowers,
and the bridesmaids presents, and
the reception, and the automobiles
he has had to borrow money at the
bank and has saddled himself with
debt that bends his back a little
more, and puts new lines in his face,
and adds to his burden in work and
worry, which was already more than
he could bear.
And it has all been for a few min
utes' Haunting of herself in the face
of an audience of people who smiled
and nudged each other, and said

what everybody says at a wedding.
| Above all, the abolition of the
show wedding and the saving of the

Getting married is the crucial act
in a mans and woman's life. 1t is

peering at them when they take the
step that is going to plunge them

Cordially yours,
AITATn1 TIT I

Mary P. T.: My preference for ev-
eryday wear is the narrow linen tape
in the tops of lingerie, tack this in
the middle Of the back and you are
relieved from continual running in of
tape. For dress wear the soft wash
ribbon is best, and l prefer white
for all garments that show through
your dress.
Ignorant Surely there could be
no lovelier, more refined gift than a
handmade reed basket filled with
flowers for your girl graduate. The
basket can serve many days after as
a reminder of your thought.
Mollie O.. Cunning child: If you
are that small and you like your
evening dress punched at hips
make it that way. I notice several
of the new evening dresses have the
wire or cord at the hip giving that
bouffant effect. You must have your
dress made of Georgette or lace or
net to get the best effect, let your sat
in underslip be quite straight and
slim.
John H; The bow tie is considered
best for summer wear. l have never
understood why in the winter wear
a lonf tie that is nearly entirely COW
cred with vest, and in the summer
bloom forth in the short bow tie,
leaving the whole shirt front expos
ed, but thus it is. A black tie is al
ways good style.
Ernest: My advice is to forget
your feet" Goodness, everybody has
to have feet, and really if you will
stop a minute to think you will real
lie that people have something else
to be interested in besides your feet.
Don't sprawl across a chair, sit with
your feet comfortable before you,
then as ] said, forget them.

by means of pegs driven into the wall, and
slept on leaves for mattress, using the
skins of animals for covering. Abraham did
not go to school more than a year in his
whole life, for he had to do a mans work
while yet mere boy. When he was not
working at home he was hired out to neigh
D0rs, at % cents n day, the wages going to
his father. The boy longed for an educa-
ton, and since he could not go to school
he decided to teach himself. At night, after
a days hard work, he would lie on the
floor of the cabin in front of the wide
chimney and study by the light of the fire.
He would work sums on wooden shovel
with piece of charcoal for a pencil, and
the next day would plane off the shovel in
order to use another night. He borrowed all
the books he could get to read, and in that
way educated himself. At the age OF sew.

geography and arithmetic. He could out
spell any one in his county. Lincoln was
clever mimic and he had vast fund of
wit and humor. often, while a boy. he
would make stump speeches for the amuse-
ment of his friends. BY the time Lincoln
was eighteen he had grown to his full
height, feet inches, and he could tout

admit that the display wedding is a
feminine vice. No man, probably
ever really yearned to make a pub
lie exhibition of himself as he was
being led as lamb to the slaugh-
ter. But by the time she is ten years
old the average girl has begun
planning her wedding and deciding
whether she will have a big church
affair, with ushers and flower girls
and ring bearers and maids and
matrons Of honor and bridesmaids
and a white satin dress and real
lace veil, and all the other flubdubs.
or whether she will be married at
home under a floral CANOPY with
an admiring audience fenced off
from her by white ribbons.
And to realize this ten-minute
splurge she is ready to ruthlessly
ruin her family and half kill her
self. If she doesn't get it, she goes
through life feeling that she has
missed her big moment. 1t is from
this silly, dopey day-dream that
women should be rescued by law.
since few of them have the common
sense and good taste to put it aside
themselves.
To begin with, 1t would do away
with the disgraceful, bare-faced
holdups that precede weddings.
These are camouflaged under the
appropriate name of Showers" TO"
they cause every friend of an en-
gagged girl to shed salt and bitter
tears at the realization of how muck
they will be mulcted for in silk
i iof
showers, and towel showers, and
kitchen showers, and all the other
showers that go to make up bridal
deluge.
1t would also prevent that sick
feeling at the pit Of the stomach
with which we are attacked at sight
of q large, thick white envelope II
the mail. We know that it means a
"stand- and deliver" present, which
somehow always comes just at a
time when the rent is overdue, or
doctor bill has to be paiu, or we had
saved up little money by plnch1ng
economies to buy new hat or suit.
1t isn't that we are singy or mean,
Or that we begrudge a gift to
friend. 1t is only that we would like
to give when we could do SO freely,
and enjoy the giving instead Of
having to give at time when it Is
actually dishonest to bestow pres
emit. Why, I have actually known
people who had to put off needed
dental work or taking a sick child
to the country when three or four
wedding presents fell together. The
wedding gift was a debt Of honor.
"They sent us set of salad forks"
"She gave us a clock when we were
married" and it had to be returned
in kind.

Creamery Shows
Steady Gain
1851 Pounds of Butter Manufactured
During Month of June

T. p Hafdahl, the genial butter
maker at the local creamery is
about the busiest man in town these
days.
Cream has been coming in in large
quantities of late, the receipts be-
ing heavier than same month year
ago by about 7OOl pounds. During
the month of June 1851 pounds of
butter was made, besides large
quantity of ice cream. 32c fb. was
the average price paid for butterfat
during month of June.
This week over 100 gallons of ice
cream is being made at the local
creamery for out of town trade, the
bulk of it going to Vida and Richey
for the July 4th celebrations at
those places.
July is expected to be the heaviest
month in receipt of cream this year.
New patrons are being added right
along, and the total amount of the
monthly cream checks are getting
bigger right along.
