Old Days

hN MINIS. W Al 4 I'm Il LhN CCC
One Of mans worst failings is his
tendency to regard the past as
period Of perfection.
The hardest thing any individual
has to do is to keep abreast OF the
times, so that he will not feel a
tendency to bewail the departure OF
the good old days"
In an old tome written by Henry
Howe about 1924 there is given us
vivid picture of what went on IN
those stirring times. Here is part
of his account of a swell pioneer
marriage:
"On the morning of the wedding
day the groom and his attendants
left the house early so as to get to
the home of the bride before noon
which was the time to celebrate the
nuptials. which always took place
before dinner.
Race for the Bottle.
after the practice of making
whisky began, at an early period,
the following ceremony always took
place on this journey. Then the
party was about a mile from its
destination, the young men began a
foot race for the bottle. The worse
the path, the more logs, brush and
hollows, the better. The bottle al
ways was filled for this occasion and
the first to reach the door got it
for the prize. He passed it politely
to the groom who took a good sized
drink.
After the wedding and dinner
dancing began and lasted until
morning. Much drinking went on at
this time.
about or 10 o'clock a deputa-
ton of young ladies stole the bride
off and put her to bed
"a little later a deputation of
young men in like manner stole off
the groom and placed him snugly
by the side of his bride.
''The dancing continued and as
seats we're scarce every young man
was obliged to offer his lap as a seat
for one of the girls.
jug Gets Big Play
BLACK Betty, which was the name
given the bottle, was called for again
and again, and pretty late at night
someone would remind the COM
pany that the bride and groom must
need refreshment and so Black
Betty was taken in and they were
Obliged to drink.
THE infare dinner took place next
day.
THE feasting and dancing lasted
for days, at the end of which the
whole company were so exhausted
that a week was often requisite to
fit them to return to their ordinary
labors."
Compared to this our shindigs
look tame, do they not?

Is Amusing Fad.
This is hardly an important fash~
ion which may be listed as an anus
ing fad.
Coral. amber and semi precious
stones are to be taken more seri-
ouSly since they are among the new
est jewelry conceits.
Of course wooden jeWelry remains
and is very smartly presented, but
its sphere is more limited than coral,
which is liked in twisted ropes made
into hoop earrings and into neck
laceS.
Seed pearls are also much in evil
denCe in smart gatherings, bell
shaped earrings with fringes of pearl
being an East Indian contribution
to the jewelry field which seems to
have derived its inspiration from
the four corners of the globe.
Baquette Themes Liked.
Baquette themes are the most ap-
proved in formal types which are
of course, owing to the greater for
mality in costuming, very much to
the fore.
The ultra back decolletage calls
for rather elaborate necklaces and
in genuine pieces the preference is
for a colored stone with diamonds
or crystals.

of Youth
BY MARTHA LEE

One OF the most heart breaking
letters that has come 10 my desk
in ages is from a young girl who
would like some advice concerning
the advisabillty Of letting the past
stay in its place. She would like
TO know Just what bearing this past
possibly can have upon her future
especially if she were to allow it to
remain buried. And whether she
has any right to withhold this fact
from her sweetheart.
Those are questions that must be
answered by the individual con-
cerned. An outsider only can say
if this is done. so and so is apt TO
happen and if that is the course
pursued the result may be thus.
Here is the way it is. The mis-
demeanor, the sin. the wrOngdoing
is several years behind. The guilty
one has spent years ropenting. has
become an entirely new person since
the incident occurred.
