A Bride and Groom
J
By WINIFRED BLACK.
Dear me, how they
Yesterday I saw a wedding. Such a
simple wedding It was no fuss and
feathers about tt at all.
The bride wasn't even a beauty, and
the groom looked
jis If he worked for
a 1 i v t n g a n d
worked hard at
that.
The bride's
mother waa a lit
tle withered old
woman In a gray
c 1 o a k, she must
have brought, over
when she first
came to this coun
try, and she wore .
'the bonnet that
went with It, too,
gray with an old
fashioned wreath
of damask roses
in the underfacing.
would laugh ,at that bonnet and those
faded roses .on. Fifth avenue! .
And the groom's father! What a giant
of a man, and what a fire burned in his
blue eyes, eyes that had watched the
night fall a thousand times on the toss
ing seas, or there is no such thing as a
sailor's eye. . . .
And the aunts of both sides of the
family, funny, old-fashioned women. One
of them cried from the minute she on
tered; the, church ; till , the .Uttle group at
the altars faded out Into the dusk of the
fall day, orled delicately and In, a most
refined,, lady-like, manner,, as one cries
who does It from fluty and a sense f
what )s done in the beat circles.
And little, Hughey, and.little Mary Ann,
I heard their names, but I. should have
known, them anyway. What., a starched
frock, was Mary Ann's,, and what athuge
tie of bright blue ws Hughey's.
And-the.baby, too. Oh, yes, one of the
aunts had a baby, as rosy as a pink
rambler, and , as blue-eyed .as grand
father. Such a good baby, too, not a
whimper alt during the long service.
"Hall, Mary, full of Grace," the beau
tiful old prayer- whispered through the
little chapel, . and every pair of eyes
turned to the little shrine outside In the
autumn flojod of yellow sunshjne.
"The Lord is with thee," and the
flickering light caught the tendrils of a
belated vine that clung to the shrine like
a bit of cloud of glory.
"Blessed art thou among women," the
old sailor prayed, too. He held his beads
in the hollow of his great hand. How
many times had he said them, I won
dered, ' when the tempest shrieked
around him? 1
"Pray for us sinners now," the old
mother prayed" aloud,' her eyes full of
hope and. anguish,
The . young bride at . the altar looked
like a sweet flower swaying on its stem
and the tall lad beside her could scarcely
keep his countenance for the Joy or it
all. .
Poor folk' these, simple folk, Ignorant
too, I suppose. I don't believe the girl
at the altar even heard of "engenlcs,"
and she'd' blush herself half to death if
some of the modern teachers should try
to tell her even In private the things they
bawl from every lecture desk these days
The lad at her side, why, he'd knock a
man down who tried to explain to her
what It is they talk about at the fash
lonable clubs so much. .
Poor, Ignorant things, they wouldn't
know what you meant if you asked them
about , the "economic conditions'" under
which they were marrying. "Economic
conditions!" They never even thought of
them. John loved Mary, and Mary said
yes, and that was all there was to It
They do' not ask what your wages are
when you want to get married in the
Old Church. I -wonder what salary Adam
got when he told Eve her eyes were like
lakes of blue and her lips were like a
thread.. of pomegranate. .
And aweet, and sweet the music thrilled
through the little chapel, no specially
fine yplce's, no hired singers, just plain
everyday friends of the bride and groom,
who were proud to be In the choir on
their wedding day.
The beautiful old ceremony was over,
the girl was a wife, the old mother had
lost herbaby daughter, and the old sail'
or's blue eys were full of dreams.
The sun was setting across the canyon,
some belated cowboy halloed to his little
bunch - of , homegolng cattle. There was
laughing, and crying, and joking, and
smiling at the door. The old priest who
had baptised the bride warned the groom,
with a twinkle, that "Mary had the
yDonnel temper sometimes," and the
groom who was baptized by the old
priest. 'too, laughed and took his chances,
and down the walk of the little church
yard1 they went, the wedding party, as
happy 88 tne. birds that mate in the
spring, and my heart and all that was
in it went with them.
e good girl. Mary; be earnest, be
clever, be true, be patient, but, above
all and beyond all, be loving, for love
can forgive all else but the cardinal sin
of unlove.
Be true, John. Oh! be true to the girl
you've taken and whose feet you have
set beside yours in the path you walk so
gayly now.
There's trouble coming, sickness, suf
fering, poverty, self-sacrifice. The little
girl there won't always look as she does
today. Her eyes won't always be so
bright, her step will falter sometimes and
so will her temper. She likes her po
tatoes baked and you prefer yours boiled.
Oh! there are lots of things for you to
talk about and agree upon.
Be tired, be. ill, be a failure, be a suc
cess, be clever, be stupid, but, oh, John,
be true, be true, that is all that msftters,
all that really counta-with the likes of
Mary or any true woman.
'Mary, Mary, you hold a man's heart
in the hollow of your little hand. Don't
let anything make you forget that. Noth
ing else matters or will matter as long as
you both shall live If you only keep on
lovingeach other and be true.
"For Setter, for worse" oh, yes, there's
worse rh it; "for richer, for poorer," just
think, Mary, John may make as high as
twenty-five a week some day. Shall you
grow purse-proud then, little Mary, and
will you turn away the old friend that
comes to you for help? , . ' '
Don't do It, Mary-It doesn't pay. It
never pays to harden the heart-never,
never, never. For,., whisper, Mary, I'll
tell ou"a secret on your wedding day.
Keep your heart soft, keep your heart
kind, keep your heart generous, keep
your heart young, and hot all the years
that will silver that brown hair of yours
can make you anything but divinely
young.
Bless your little heart, Mary, and Joy
fro with you, John. I'm. glad you never
eveir thought of marriage as a "prob
lem." It Isn't one when love stands at
the door of your little house to bid you
welcome home.
How simple all these problems we hear
so much talk of these days are when we
meet them simply.
Unshakable Grip of Youth
W 1th all the advice that we are getting
these days on how to remain youthful and
how to grow old gracefully and kindred
topics relating to the common desire to
cut the acquaintance of Father Time, it
ie gratifying to note that a few excep
tional persons have really mantled the
secret and can get along without expert
advice. The secret, after all, is not buried
very deep. It consists mostly of the
ability to forget, as far as possible, the
annoying little matter of age. Any man
Is liable to stay comparatively young so
long as he can succeed In actually for
getting how old he is.
Perhaps there are few who can really do
this, but a case was reported in New Tork
the other day. A man wafted himself
breezily Into the office where they keep
the vital statistics In storage, and an
nounced that he wanted to find out how
old he was. He said that he had been
so busy for twenty years or so that he
had entirely lost track of his age. Now
he was going to get married and he
needed the information. He was not sure
whether he was 41 or 48 years old, and he
was both surprised and elated when the
Indisputable evidence of the records
showed that he was only an even 40.
"Guess this will please the lady," said
he as he went out.
That Illustrated the only true story of
the way tn which to cheat the advancing
years. Keep busy! The life that Is prop
erly busy has no time to trlink about
birthdays. The trouble Is that nearly all
of ua establish the habit of thinking about
birthdays In our Juvenile years, when we
are apt to count the passage of time
somewhat Impatiently, and It 1s hard to
break the habit in later life, when the
significance of a birthday impresses ua
with a reverse English. Our birthday
gets Into the minds of our relatives and
Intimate Wends as a minor annual festi
val, an event to be celebrated.
The joy-makers radiate their gloom with
painful reminiscences and with such In
ept remarks as, "Well, we're getting
along!" "Hair's getting kind of thin,
George, a'n't it?" "Only six more year
to go and then you'll be 50." "I must say,
you hold your age pretty well." Many of
the remarks are Intended to be compli
mentary or consolatory, but somehow they
convey a subtle sting. After one ha
reached a "certain age" there is apt to be
the suspicion that a congratulatory utter
ance may be only a polite euphemism for
"Get the hook." The way -to dodge these
doubtful emotions is to keep busy and
sprinkle such things as birthdays liberally
with a strong solution of oblivion. Provi

Preventing Accidents
Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites
A SIMPLE METHOD OF CAR ING FOR THE COMPLEXION .
By PEGGY DANA.
Most women admit that there Is nothing
quite so good as massage for keeping
the face yoUng, the complexion clear and
the skin In good condition.
But the trouble is, who has time' to
have regular massage treatment? Cer
tainly no girl who has her living to make,
whether she Is on the stage or In an
office. Then there Is the constant ques
tion of expense. A good massage treat
ment costs from ,$1 to $3. according to the
time and amount and quality of the
creams and lotions used. Few of u have
that to spend on beauty culture, and so
we have to try other and less expensi.e
ways of retaining our looks.
The womin on the stage thinks more
of her appearance because It Is a real
asset The girl who makes a good,
pretty stage picture is sure of a Job, and
the one who looks Ugly must search for
another position. That is why even very
young actresses begin to take care of
their looks, and also why It is worth
while finding out how they do It.
Five minutes dally massage keeps my
complexion in good condition, and I am
perfectly willing to tell you how I d0 It,
though, after you have found out, you
win think it the most simple thing In the
world.
To begin with, then, I never use watci
on my face at all. That is because I
have to travel a good deal or, rather, I
did have to before I was In this play
and the water in the different cities, and
even in the different hotels, varies w
much, and Is often so hard and bsd for
the skin, that I gave up using it on my
face. I get a good, soft and almost fluid
cold cream and use a very simple lotion,
that I make m'elf. This la made of the
great, big cucumbers that one can get
just now for almost nothing.
Peel the cucumber, being very careful
that you get all the green and yellow
parts off. Take out the seeds as well,
and then mash the pulp up and add a
little water. Just enough to cover. Put
this in a saucepan on the stove and after
it has come to a boll set it back on
the atove t simmer until the water Is all
absorbed. Take the mixture off the stove
and strain it through a fine piece of mus
lin. Add about four times the amount
of rose water, or if you want to have
a cheaper preparation use just plain
boiled water.
This Is the foundation of the best
bleach and lotion for the face. In winter
time I add a few drops of glycerine, but
I prefer It without In summer, as the
glycerine Is so sticky.
But I must go back to my treatment
Having cleaned off my face thoroughly
I wash It with this cucumber lotion,
using just a little on a dab of cotton.
Then I apply some more cream, as I
am sure my face Is quite clean now, and
that all the Impurities are washed away.
At almost any drug store you can jget
a small cup or glass with a rubber ball
at the end. They are called suction cups
and they come In almost all slses. I have
them in four slses, one for my face, one
for my neck, one for the eyes and one
for the forehead.
Place the cup over that portion of the
face that you wish to massage and press
the bulb. A very little of the flesh is
taken up In the cup. Pass the cup rap
Idly over the, face or neck and you will
have the same sensation tts well as the

same results as you would get from the
regular massage. I don't say that hand
massage Is not better still, but one can
not always get It and next to that my
method is the best. 1 always work iny
little suction cup upward, no matter on
what part of the face I am working, and
I am especially careful when I work
around the eyes.
Every girl's eyes get tired-looking, no
matter what Jier age is, and there is
nothing that annoys the would-be beauty
as those dark rings under the eyes. I
find that a few minutes with the cup
will make the blood circulate and, of
Course, that is the cause of the trouble.
, Before working on the eye you should
be very careful that the eyelids are
covered with cold cream and then, of
course you must be sure that none of
this Is allowed to get Into the eye.. Close
the eye and with your smallest cup,
whJoh shouldn't be larger than a 10-cnt
piece, massage very gently over the .ye
lid and then under It Work from the
Inner comer of the eyelid out toward the
corner of the eye and then up to the
temples.
It will do no harm if you try this way
of beautifying every day as long as you
don't pull the skin. If your cups are
small enough, this is Impossible. The
cups, by the way, should not cost more
that a quarter.
Anything that will make the blood cir
culate right under the skin of the face
will make the cheeks rosy, and with my
treatment there is no need for rouge or
any of the other substitutes for natural
color that re so easily detectlble.
My secret of beauty, I am thankful to
say, Is not a very tiring one, because I
have neither time nor patience to waste.
Indeed, I am short on both. But I do
like to look well who doesn't?

Every great calamity has Its recom

It seems that the engineer of the train
that recently ran into another standing
still claims that he did not Imbibe spirit

had visited, a saloon on the day pre
vious to the catastrophe. '
The block system In use on the Lacka

he would not have had time to have

flagman, who was a mllJ back.
The engineer's plea that he was mend-

"Wilfred get stung good and plenty at
a social the other night," said the Manl
cure Lady. "The poor boy was going to
recite two ef his latest poems there just
to phase the Ladles' Auxiliary a little
and himself a lot, and he recited the
poems all right, but' he didn't get no
audience to speak of.
'They was having this social in the
shade of an old elm tree that had grew
up in the shadow of a church and had
saw many things since It wil a' apllng.
especially about church socials. I seen
right away that the poor boy whs dis
appointed to think of reciting out In a
picnic crowd In the afternoon, 1 .
"He had been telling me all the wayj
down on the train about the way he Was
going to stand up Inside the church ahd
recite about the first temples, and all
them naves and architraves or whatever
they call them parts of a church. He
had wrote two of the moat solemn poems
that he had wrote for years, and Imagine
his feeling when ho had to stand up
there with a kid rubbing jam on his only
suit and hollering, 'Oh, mama, come and
see the funny clown!'
"When Wilfred had get through re
Citing his first poem he said that he wm
going to get the next train home, and
1 seen at once that his artistic temper
ature was getting eclder with winds
whistling around Inside his ' brain. I
guess for a moment that the poor kid
seen snowbirds and musk-oxen. His face
took on the blue, stern look of old Doc
Cook defying the Danish nation.
''But one of the ladles of the auxiliary
came over and patted, him on t the
shoulder kind of nice. She was a awful
sweet looking lody, with a young face
and snow white hair, and after she had
told Wilfred that she had a son who
loved poetry she had hint won over, so
he promised her that he would stay
until he recited his second poem that
he had wrote that is,' if he could wait
until after dusk to recite it 'It is about
moonlight.' Wilfred told her, 'and I
thought that this wa going to be a
moonlight social. Poetry was not made
for daylight, the garish day, the biting
sun,' said Wilfred.
" 'Very well,' said the sweet-faced
iady with the gray hair, 'you shall
recite out under the lanterns after din
ner. We are going to have our 'bazaar
this evening, and Just as the moon
comes up and our Chinese lanterns are
lit, with all their suggestion of the
Orient and of pulsing poetry, you shall
read your lines.'
