The Taylor home which Is elegantly appointed for an affair of this kind, was handsomely decorated for the occasion. The color scheme of yellow and white was carried out-in some of the rooms. The spacious stairway was banked with palms and ferns, the greenery making a most effective decoration. In the parlor where the ceremony was performed by the Rev. George W. Martin, of the Methodist church, an improvised altar had been made of greenery, the flowers and ferns forming a veritable arbor. At either side of the altar were placed white pedestals holding handsome candelabras. Masses of golden glow added to the brightness of the decorative motif. All the appointments In this room were in yellow and green. As the guests were being seated Miss Edith Duke of this city, sang, "Believe Me, If All These Endearing Young Charms and Lovely Flowers," by Gounod, accompanied by Miss Mary Ballinger. The Mendelssohn wedding march was played by Miss Ballinger as the bridal party entered the ceremony by the way of the staircase. During the ceremony then "Flower Song" was played. Preceding the bride and groom came the little flower girl, Miss Odah Ballinger, attired in a pretty lingerie frock, scattering rose petals before the bride and groom and making a pathway for them. The bride was pretty in her white marquisette gown over messaline, handsomely trimmed in laces. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. After the ceremony and when congratulations had been extended the guests were served to an elegant supper. The dining room was decorated throughout with white roses and ferns.

Hot weather has a very weakeniu effect on women. They become too languid to exercise and have appetite for light, tasty foods, like salads and other cold concoctions, which do not digest readily and tend to increase their natural tendency to constipation. At this season women, especially, need all their strength to resist the enervating effect of the heat. Good digestion and regularity of the bowels are essential. Some fruits have laxative properties, but they are uncertain in their effect, and are not generally advised. A mild bowel stimulant and digestant, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is preferable because it is certain in its effect, natural in its action, and wholly safe. Take a dose of Syrup Pepsin at night and by morning the sick headache and indigestion will be gone. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug stores everywhere, and costs fifty cents a bottle; a larger size, intended for family use. costs one dollar. If ycu hate never used Syrup Pepsin and would like a free trial bottle, postpaid, write to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 406 Wasfclntcton St., Monticello. Illinois.

On the fourth day he told why. "In justice to her," he said. a do not want to take her picture now. She is too homesick. Most out of town people want to be photographed while in New York. If they are longing for home I put them off with one excuse or another until the homesickness wears off. "If you want your aunt's pictures to turn out well just hunt up some one from her home town who happens to be visiting in New York at present and bring him here so she will meet him unexpectedly. The meeting will put sparkle and animation into her face, and neither she nor I will be disappointed with the photographs." New York Times.

Good form

Consideration For Others. It goes without saying that consideration for others is one of the twelve pillars of the law of good breeding and a very important one. Everybody recognizes this In a general way, yet many people do not realize how large a share it has in the technical rules of etiquette. Thus punctuality is said to be the politeness of kings, but punctuality Is dictated by a consideration for others ;is well as by the desire to have everything move in a smooth and orderly manner. Guests at a dinner must arrive at the hour named or five minutes after lest tbey keep the party assembled waiting for them. Fifteen minutes is the utmost limit allowed to tardy comers. A hostess who invites friends to visit her simply because she is lored and wants them to amuse her violates, perhaps unconsciously, the laws of hospitality. People who have a great deal of money and little to do sometimes offend in this way. Time hangs heavy on their hands, and they are delighted to have some bright girl or clever young man come to stay with them to brighten them up. If they provide amusement for the visitors or give them something desirable which they do net get at home, such as autoinobilin;. coasting or skating, there is no objection to their expecting thereafter to make them some return in the way of agreeable talk. Elderly persons or those living quietly in the country should remember that the daily routine of thoir existence : may seem dull to active young people accustomed to more life and excitement. Let us all beware lest we become social vampires, draining the vitality of those who come nenr us. The woman who throws open her house for the sole purpose of displaying its expensive furniture and appointments is worse than her "bored" sister, because she adds pride to selfishness. A story is told of two rival leaders in a large American city which shows to what depths of vulgarity one may descend If one permits pride to replace good feeling toward others. Mrs. X. appeared at a ball wearing a costume of magnificent brocade which quite eclipsed the gown of Mrs. K. The latter congratulated her rival on the beauty of her dress and urged her to wear it at a reception which she (Mrs. K.) proposed to give a week or two later. Mrs. X., not dreaming of any treachery, unwisely complied with the request. Imagine her feeliugs when on arriving at the house of Mrs. K. she found that the latter had had all her drawing room furniture covered with the admired brocade! Do You Sit Correctly? In the good old days a lady would no more think of sitting with her elbows on the table and of crossing her legs than she would of eating with her knife. Now such actions are so common as to pass almost unnoticed. The girl who leans habitually on her elbows soou ruins them. The skiu roughens and reddens, eventually becoming callous and horny. Worse yet, the pressure of the body on the elbow stops the circulation and reddens the skin of the entire arm. More dangerous is the habit common to men and women alike of sitting with one leg swung over the knee of the other. The pressure comes at a sensitive part of the leg and knee, a spot where there are a number of large veins, arteries and nerves. The pressure stops circulation, crowds the tissues together and produces various ills. Many a woman who suffers from headache or numbness will find it relieved if she ceases to sit with her legs crossed. The habit long continued produces varicose veins, a red nose, bruised snots and other ills attendant on stopped circulation. It will be easier to conquer this bad habit If a woman makes a practice of itHno oroct on rhnir or sofa with the

Good Form For Wek Ends. The girl who goes on a summer visit with little baggage and a small purse often finds herself feeling very soiled and crumpled before many days are over. Especially is this the case when the holiday takes the form of a little tour abroad. It is difficult and expen sive to get washing done, and much baggage is out of the question, yet the strenuous round of sightseeing has its effect on one's clothes, and the fact of being among strangers does not in the least make lack of daintiness excusable or more easily endured. A great friend at these times is a spirit iron. Its cost, several dollars, may seem a considerable Item in the outfit, but will soon be repaid in comfort, and there will be no temptation to rush out and buy (often quite unsuitable) blouses or scarfs to substitute for the original crumpled supply. A muslin blouse, a jabot or a few fine handkerchiefs are easily washed out in one's own room. A bottle of soap jelly and another of gum water should be brought from home. This is made by dissolving gum arable crystals, two ounces to a pint, in hot water. It serves instead of starch for the muslin things, and. resides, can be used to freshen up hiffon and gauze scarfs and veils. HOW THE EARTH DRIED. And Why the Drying Up Process Is Constantly Going On. When water is decomposed by radium or by ultra violet rays it produces hydrogen and peroxide of hydrogen, and It does not form oxygen. Electrolytic decomposition forms oxygen. A German investigator bases a new theory relating to the drying of the earth on the fact that one form of decomposition produces oxygen, while the other form does not. Part of the water vapor emitted by the seas is decomposed by the ultra violet rays of the sun. The hydrogen formed rises toward the high atmospheric strata, and all the water does not return to the surface. Therefore the quantity of water on the face of the globe is always diminishing, and the earth Is incessantly. If gradually, drying. To cite one example: On the north side of the Alps occur a continual falling off in the depth of the lakes and a gradual formation of swamps. Two hundred and fifty years ago there were 149 lakes In the canton of Zurich. Today there are seventy-six. The destruction of the forests and the cultivation of the land partially explain this, but the loss of hydrogen is an Important factor. The hydrogen accumulated in the higher atmosphere is diffused In interstellar space. Har per's Weekly.

KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT.

The Lady Guaranteed Silence, and She Mad Good. Unexpectedly an uptown pastor who encouraged congregational singing gained a new parishioner. Keen though his delight lu hearing his people sing, there was one member of his flock wbone endeavors he never encouraged. But the man sang without encouragement, much to the discomfiture of pew holders anywhere near him. who claimed that his loud, unmusical voice threw them out of time and tune. Repeated complaints convinced the minister that somebody would have to assume the responsibility of silencing the ambitious singer. He decided that the man's wife was best fitted for the Job. Owir.g to a difference in religious views hualand and wife attended different church, but the minister knew her. so he called and explained his predicament She was genuinely surprised. "Do you mean to say he sings T' she said. "Tries to." amended the pastor. She thought a minute. "I shall have to come there to church." she said. "I shall be glad to see you." said the minister. "But what effect will that have on your husband's singing" The look she gave him was more significant than words, and they meant a good deal.

A SOLEMN MOMENT. Whan the Great Mall Steamer Waa Stopped In Midocean. The great steamship wavered: the screw revolved more slowly and gradually ceased to turn. There is something uncannily disquieting about an xinmoving ship In the middle of the ocean, and for a few moments there were fearsome rumors among the second and third cabin passengers. The steerage, being nearer to the heart of things, understood what was going on. The deck stewards went about explaining, and a they explained tlx passengers moved to points of vantage. Then all was very quiet quiet even for the sea. A man whom the first cabin passengers knew to be a famous bishop stepped down from among them. A heavy, clumsy, grewsome bundle was brought up. Over It the bishop, with bared and reverent head, intoned the service for those who are buried at aea. A the bishop spoke the words of committal. "We therefore commit his body to the deep, to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body, when the sea shall give up its dead. a door in the bulwarks was lifted for the bundle and let down again, the ship began to move, sluggishly at flrat. then smoothly as was its wont, and the passengers went back to their game, their books and their loveiuaking.
