According to n vernacular paper In India , a
movement In aid of the remarriage of widows
among Mussulmans was started two or three
years ago In Kalanam , In the Otinlukpur dis
trict. The Mahometan religion docs not pro
hibit the remarriage of widows , but long resi
dence In India and contact with the Hindu
has .made many Mahometans look do\vn upon
remarriage of widows.
Considerable opposition was at first shown ,
but It has been overcome. A widow remarriage
riage- association lias "been formed , and pub
lishes a nourishing weekly paper which dls-
scmlnatea news and Information on the ob
jects of the society. Over eighty widows
have * been remarried within the last thrtc
years , nnd the fund atartod to ntfl destitute
widows 6n their remarriage exceeds 20,000
rupees.
Honeymoon albums arc said to be a part of
the wedding preparations of the irp-to-dato
bride. They are simply put together , being ,
as a rule , made of a number of sheets of
heavy Illicn paper cut n fancied size , .usually

may bo anything , the satin of the wedding
dress ever Hrlstol board , pieces of rough card
board on which are painted the bridal blos

Ono bride -had hers got up at 11 stationer's
and bound In softly-tinted vellum , and dove-
Bray leather with silver hearts was the ca
price of another bride. Those most rcprc-

the bride's own hands , ornamented with
painting or embroidery whatever decora

Among such novelties the chiffon-trimmed

It Is a strange tradition mnong the Arab
ians that KirrtnsW toamo In n use In the Jol-
lowlng way. When Pharaoh summoned Abra
ham and reproached him for his untruth ( In
naylng that Sarah was his sinter ) , Abraham
prayed for the king , nnd Allah healed the
lilng , who now gave Abraham rich presents ,
and among others an Egyptian slave named
Uagar , She bore him a sun , whom he called
Ishmael. Mut Sarah -was barren , and tiie
nioro jealous 'since the light of Mohammed
ijliono en Ishmnol'a forehead. She demanded
of Abraham to put away Hagar and her son.
Ho waff undecided until commanded by Allah
to obey Sarah In nil things. Yet he entreated
her not to cast off her bondmaid and horson.
But. this so exasperated her that she de
clared she -woulJ not rest until licrliamls had
Ireon , Imbrue : ! In "Hagar's blood. Then Abra
ham pierced Hagar's ear quickly nnd drew a
ring through It , so that Sarah was able to dip
her hand In the blood of flugar without bring
ing the latter Into danger. From that time
Jt became the custom among v.omen to wsar
earrings.

frills of fine thread lace , five or six Inches
deep , each one. put on under an Inch-wide
heading ot open pearl passementerie. Thr
Is of brocade , wide pearl gros

altornatcd with hair line stripes of canary

bouffant puff. Pearl trimming ornaments
the front of the fchort bodice , and lace is
draped over the sleeves.
A VISITING COSTUME.
A chic "going away" gown for a bride
could be modeled after one of Miss Adams'
street toilets. It is a rich , deep moss-green
crcpo cloth , the skirt being untrlmmed , save
for an embroidered arubesiiuc In front nt the
foot , loiio In tiny turquoises nnd jots with
Bllver thread. The boillce Is of black moire.

touch of three rarrow strlpea of yellow lace
Insertion from the collar and shoulders , con
verging at the crushed belt of moire that
Is sat elf with pert little upstanding bows.
The collar is also a crushed standing band oi

cloth over velvet forearm sleeves edged with
chinchilla. The wrap Is a youthful looking
donhle circular capo of irpon velvet , the
shorter cape of which | .f embroidered to

upturned front a masa of embroidery , with
two Biimmftc blossom-shaped
pompons thrust
carelessly through the gemmed garniture.
A LOUNGING GOWN.
A dream of a negligee gown for a trous

separate Kannents. Ono Is a fitted slip from
neck to foot of white satin , veiled loosely
with white chiffon. Over this Is slipped a
flowlnc tobe of the chiffon that fastens at
the neck only , with a 'crushed ' collar of pink
satin. The sleeves are
very large to the
eovt. \ \ . hni'KliiR In luxurious noft lines , and
are wrinkled closely about the arms to the
wrist. Jabots of the chiffon trim the fronts
of the gown that fall nway pa'relessly to thp
floor. Chiffon , coiftrary to' the usual Idea ,
wears very well indeed , 'and Is vastly be

Only through distension , Tast puflllng anfl

First , there Is n smallish lining In some
soft , dainty silk ; this la coverdl by a huge
one , puffed , folded and plaltad In heavier
silk or satin , which. In tnrn. Is Interlined
with stiff tarlatan or crinoline- , and perhaps
padded at shoulders or bunched with con
cealing looseness at the lower arm wliere-
ever nature has been too niggardly or too

> Vrrk In October.
Out door fkmera are never ns altracjtlVB
as In early sprlilg , when the merest bit of
green or gllrnpsa ot a blossom catches o.ur
colortarved eyes. There Is something "sd
Iresh. Inviting ami prophetic of summer
glories to come In the first bright flowers
that brave the Inclement days of the young
year. But Jt Js not for the hardihood
alone that wq love them , No mo to beauti
ful flower hlaw than the hyacinth , none
mora gorgeous than the tulip , none daintier
than , the grape hyacinth and the llly-of-tlie-
valley. In clotids of rozo. azure , crimson.
In white. In waVea cf scarlet , blue and gold
the spring flowers appear , filling the air
with their fragrance.
The queer thing about them la that every
one who sees a line bed of spring bulbs In
bloom always wants to possess one Just like
It , and It lie or she could procure them at
that time would willingly pay double the
prtco asked lor the bulbi In Autumn. Yet
when planting tlmo comes again
and all the world hnows , or ought to knew. !
that they can only bu obtained two or three
months In the fall only a few ever think
to plant the bulbs that are to furnish next
spring's beauty.
If you are one of these forgetful mortals
rouse yourself at once nnd attend to the
matter befcre It la too lato. The advertise
ments of the bulb dealers a > re to be found In
every magazine , ana newspaper. Send for
catalogues , make your choice and hurry the
bulbs In thu ground as soon as possible ,
Hulbs can be planted out of doors as late as
December , but the sooner they are set
after September the earlier and 5ner flowers
you will have In the spring ,
If you can afford to , choose liberally from
the florist's list you can scarcely go amiss.
Dut If every penny must do the work of two ,
buy twenty-five or fifty mixed slnglo tulips ,
that can be purchased at 30 cents n dozen or
$2 per hundred. They make a perfect blaze
of color In the clear sprang sunshine , pink ,
orange , scarlet , crimson and yellow , flamed ,
flaked , banded and feathered as only a tulip
can be. Ilave masses of them by all means ,
for they arc the most striking flower that
can bo grown for a llttls money.
The double and later tulips , crocus , < jon-
qulla and quite a number ot the narcissus fam
ily , are also showy and quite low priced. Very
fair aie al o the snowdrops , scl la Ettorlcus and
glcry-of-thc-snow when grown in clumps ,
as they should always be , and as they are
the earliest ot all flowers to bloom , and one
priced as low as 25 and SO cents a dozen ,
almost any one can afford ) a few. In fact ,
nearly all the spring bulbs Increase BO rapIdly -
Idly that from quite modest beginnings one
soon has quantities cf bloom. The slowest
to Increase , and ( consequently the highest In
price , are the hyacinths. That but for this
would lead all the rest In popularity , for un
deniably they are the most beautiful. Their
heavy spikes .of . superb waxeji flowers , in
rainbow tints , are simply magnificent , and
their fragrance Is almost coylngly sweet.
The bed for the bulbs should be made mel
low and deep. Set them a few Inches apart
the larger bulbs , as the hyacinth and tulip
with the tops cf the bulbs at least three
Inches below the ground. The smaller ones
can be planted a little shallower , but- deep
planting Is the best for all. The rows
should not be more than six or eight Inches
apart , as spring flowers look "best when
massed together. Jf possible cover the beds
with a deep mulching of Utter , chip manura
and rotted stable manure , rahlnfe the coarsJ
cst off when spring Is fairly well advanced and
leaving tLo finer rart cles to blanket the rount
and furnish nutriment that can ba carried
by the rain to the greedy iroots below. All
thcso bulbs are called hardy , but they are
the better for protection , and are prevented
by It from starting up too prematurely In
the delusive warm days of late winter ,

burst. Like t. E lea mi ot glory In a , gob o
cloorn it came fast and flooded my soul ant
111 led me with lustlcss joy. On I walked
sang my new sqtjg nnd gloried in It a-j n
happy mother glories In the first faint smile
of a new born , ] babe.
When more people and the stars came
out , and there was no longer room for the
wide vvlngs of my muse , I'boarded a cabl
ear and went out < o the very shadows of th
hills. Then ( he vrjil\ ( ( \ moon came up from th
plains , making one of these matchless moon
lit nights that Invariably follow a perfec
day In Denver. The tired lawn mower tha
had struggled allOay against a. vlgorou
brass band at last Ipld down nnd the mellow
notes of the 'tuba came faint and far
away. i *
Far Into the night I sat there saying1 i
It o'er and o'er , till'every line was registers ?

The following summer I gave the poem to l

llftymond Jlooro was In Denver nt the
line and I persuaded him to call at mr
illlco. When I rcid the song to him ho
mapped hit. fingers tears of enthusiasm
stood In ME e/OB us ho declared that it
would maka "thp sweetest song ever sung. "

t , then holding tlio revised copy In 111 * hand

slow , " ho said , "like thin , " and then ho sang
exactly a a million mouths have sung since :
"Como to me , Swoel Mnrlc ,
Sweet Mnrlc , ccme 10 me. "
I repeated and remembered the notes he
ngj and when A year later Will T. Carleton
came to the footlights In tlio Uroadway
theater and sang the fonc I was glad to
note' that Mr. Moore had not varied a.
ehaJow from his first Inspiration ,
It happened that about the tlmo the first
'alnt echoes of the song reached the Rocky
mountains we started cast , nnd listened wltli
eager ears , to tear It sung ,
The black boy on the Burlington husked
his pillows and hummed that tune. At Chicago
cage we heard It. At Cleveland a man
poundrd the wheels with a hard hammer
and sang softly , as to himself.
AB we sat at dinner In the Imperial in
tfew York the orchestra played It , and
where wo shopped the shopgirls sang It , and
even as we exchanged congratulatory smiles
a. wild-toned street piano played "Sweet
.Marie" In the street.
At Manhattan beach we had the great joy
ot hearing Sousa's band play It ; heard Kay-
nan alng It In a theater In town ; then Mr.
Moore and 1 went to see the Manhattan I'uh-
llshlng company. From there we went to
Wo. 6 Broad street. "Where each , received a
check for more money , wo thought , than
thsrowas In the world.
"How'll you have it ? " asked a cheery
voles , aswe faced the paying teller In a
Nassau street bank.
" 131s pieces,1' said I.
"And you ? "
"Two one fliousand , two five hundred , and
the rest In ones. " said Ravinan , And as
the money man began to slhlo out the notes ,
Iw said. "I've a secret In my heart. " But
that was as far as he got , for we both
laughed not at him , of course , but It was
time to laugh. CY WARMAN.
