When the guests at the monster
harvest home dinner at Happy Hol
low club last evening had been peace
fully seated at their respective tables
they heard a ripple of laughter ris
ing in the innermost dining room, a
ripple which spread and grew into a
great wave. Such a craning of necks
and murmur of questions as resulted I
Soon the parties in the farthermost
corners of the dining porches were
rewarded by a quaint and curious
sight. Strolling through the company
came some of our best citizens, but,
oh, in such an unfamiliar garb.
There were Mr. and Mrs. C. R.
Sherman, bowing and courtesying to
the company. Mr. Sherman appeared
in the costume of a gentleman farmer
with chin wriskers and straw hat,
red bandana and a that and a thi.t
Mrs. Sherman, wore corkscrew curls
peeping out from under the back of
her mother's wedding bonnet, which
is 50 years old this month. Around
her shoulders was an old-fashioned In
dian shawl.
Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Hamilton at
tracted great attention. Mrs. Ham-
ilyton wore 4 brown dress which was
40 or SO years old and which had been
her mother's, quantities of queer old
jewelry and the most outrageous
shawl.' It was a gorgeous affair of
red and black checks which was really
quite awful. Someone said, "Mrs.
Hamilton, you bear a striking resem
blance to Queen Victoria." "Although
Queen Victoria was a very admirable
woman, Mrs. Hamilton replied.
have heard that she had nothing to
boast of in the way of looks.
Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Kimberly were
among the party, Mr. Kimberly
dressed in a linen duster, a big straw
hat and gray chin whiskers which, by
the way, proved very popular with all
the gentlemen of the croup. Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Gilmore were also "gen
tlemen tarmers. Mrs. onmor wore
the demurest blue gingham bonnet
md dress.
Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Purkee, who
were the originator! of the no el idea,
appeared in elaborate costume. In
strolled Mr, Durkee with nonchalant
air dressed as a woodsman with high
leather boots, heavy brown coat, soft
slouch hat and dark shirt. Mrs. Dur
kee minced along, as any proper old
fashioned person should, in a little
aid-style bonnet, a white satin waist
ind a full flowered skirt. I believe
she was also guilty of mits and a big
fan.
The party was seated at one big
table and included also Mr. and Mrs.
C. H. t'ickens, Mr. and Mrs. F. 0
Wead. Mr. and Mrs. CM. Wilhelm
ind Mr. and Mrs. R. Beecher Howell.

Timely Fashion Hints
a
By LA RECONTEUSE.
The buttons do not make the trim
lines, hut they accentuate them. They
are ordinary bone tailor's buttons, the
smart sort just now on simple tail
ored suits like this one of dark blue
serge. The panel front and belt, em
phasizing a neat waistline, should
prove becoming to most figures.
Advice tb Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
The Bridal Tarty.
Pear Mine Fairfax: My brother will be
married soon. Can you kindly advlee mo aa
to Ihe people to be ejected for the bridal
party. 1 refer to brldeemalda, flower glrla,
maid of honor and beat man.
I have Juat found out that the eroom'a
eldeet elater should bo "maid of honor." I
would like to know any other eft rulea re
tarding the rret of the party. Alao whether
above la correct. M. S.
There are really no set rules con
cerning a wedding party. .Out of cour
tesy to the groom the bride fre
quently selects his sister as maid-of-honor,
provided she has none of her
own; but if the bride has a very inti
mate friend whom she .wishes to have
act in this capacity, there is no reason
why the groom and his family should r
iiw, us ouiuiitmijr gimiuua aim sen
sible to content themselves with hav
ing any daughters in their family as
bridemaids. The groom selects the
best man a brother or intimate
friend. He also chooses his own
usher, generally favoring one or two
cousins or brothers of the bride, if
she has any. And in the tame way
the bride shows him courtesy and
consideration when she is choosing
her attendants. Any children in the
family of either arc chosen as flower
girls or pages.

Folly of Marrying
By DOROTHY DIX.
My dear Marian: You write mc
that you are thinking of marying Dick.
You call him "Poor Dick," and you
admit that he is a dissipated ne'er-do-tvcll,
who has been nothing but a
sorrow and disgrace to his family and
who le'.s his poor old mother take
in boarders to support him.
You say that no one has ever un
derstood ' Poor Dick," and that ycu
feel perfectly sure that he only ncetis
your inKucncc to lift hiin up to the
higher li:c, where he wlV. never thirst
for a highball at::n, cr yearn to play
poher, or be tempted by t..: flutter oi
I another petticoat.
I Oh, Marian, iiariM, where is the
foo!-kilicr when a girl marries a man
! to reform him? Surely, there is no
other place on ertrth wlrerc thc-c is
j such need for the slayer ci s.-. eet !it-
i tie geese as when a pcr.t.e marten
! tackles the job ot makir-s a man out
i of a bunch of appetites, and laziness,
j and selfishness!
I It can't he done, my dear. Modern
surgery has accomplished much, but
it has never yet succeeded in putting
! a backbone into a creature as spineless
I as a fishing worm. In homely phrase,
' you can't make a silk purse at of a
sow's ear. When you marry you must
i take a man as he is not marry him
j for something you think you can make
of him.
There are no miracle workers in
! these days, my child. Still less is any
I wife a miracle worker. There is no
j conjure in the marriage ceremony that
changes a sot into a leader of the
Young Men's Temperance union, or
makes a lazy man industrious, or that
gives weakling strength to stand alone
So, betore you march to the altar
! look carefully at the man with whom
you are contemplating taking that
fatal journey, for he will he precisely
the same individual before and after
taking, with the same tastes, the same
character, the same desires. He will
not be metamorphosed into a fairy
prince, but just be the same old Tom,
Dick or Harry.
Before, however, ynu commit hari
kari and I would earnestly recom
mend to any girl thinking of marrying
a drunkard to take a dose of prussic
acid or rough-on-rats instead let me
beg of you not to marry any man
that you think of and speak of as
"Poor Dick" or "Poor John." That
phrase in itself is a confession otyour
recognition that he is a weakling, one
who must be protected, instead of be
ing the protector, one who is not able
to take his part among men, one who
must always be explained, apologized
for, excused for his shortcomings.
Believe me, my dear, that there is

Day-Dream Movie
As the afternoon jjears on and time for dismissal approaches, a picture
starts upon the mind-screen of each of these healthy school children.
They see school dismissed and themselves hurrying to the cool, clean '
store across the street . where the smiling attendant, anticipating their
arrival, has already started to heap up dishes with pyramids of frargrant,
pure Ice Cream which they devour rapturously because it is, whole
some and good for them.

Man to Reform Him
no happiness for either party in such
a marriage. You cannot subvert the
order of nature and society with im
punity. When the woman has to be
the stalwart oak and the man becomes
the clinging vine, the spectacle is one
at which the very gods laugh. No
matter how much a woman loves a
man to begin with, nor how sorry she
is for him, when she sees him a pigmy
among men and realizes that he can
not fight their battles nor run their
race, she, too, comes to share in the
ivorld's contempt of him.
When the Creator made man of
j-.-ratt-r stature and stronger muscle
Mian he did woman, he meant us to
look up to our husbands and not down
upon them. That's the way we were
uDilt. my dear, and the plans and spe--ificttions
upon which a woman's
heirt was originally constructed have
,-.e ef licrn altered, 'i he only happy
homes are those in which you find the
v. lie trailing along after the husband , i
or walking hand in hand with him. '
You w ill never find either peace or
contentment where the wife leads the
way, and the husband holds on to her '
petticoat like a toddling child to its '
mother. I j
But you will say. vou do not exoect ! I
"Poor Dick" to be always "Poor ;
Dick." As soon as he has the benefit !
of your sustaining influence you ex-j
pect him to become "Successful Dick,"-'
"Great Dick," "Rich Dick." Look i
about you, child. You have seen many
women marry shHtless, drunken loaf-1
ers. How many of them have you
seen succeed in making these intd
prosperous and honored business or
professional men? ,
Not one. The men who run the
banks and big stores and manufac
tories; the men who are leading
lawyers and doctors, and editors and
preachers; the men who are elected to
high office were not weaklings made
by their wives. They were strong men
who carved out their own fortunes.
They do not owe their rise to any
woman's influence. They got there by
their own hustle and push.
There's just one job, my dear, that
every man has got to do for himself,
and that is to make his own character.
A woman may scallop it around the
edges and embroider a blue forget1
me-not in one corner, or she may wear
it into a frazzle in a spot or two, but
that's just about all she can do. It's as
far as her influence goes. She can
make her husband happy or miserable.
She can help him to success more
quickly or delay his getting there, but
she can't keep him down if he's a good
man, and she can't make him rise if
he's a poor one.
If a man won't refrain from drink
roam
lea Creams
ing too much because of his own
self-respect he won't do it for any
wife. If he will not work and sup
port himself because he would rather
die than eat the bread of dependence
he will never toil to support a family.
If he has no sense of responsibility
just of himself, no woman can im
plant it in him any more than she
could graft on to him a voice like
Caruso's.
