Handsome and blushing young clergymen have always been regarded as eligibles by match-making mam mas from the days of Jane Austen until now. That is why speculation has been rife about two brothers, both young clergymen of our own city, and many are the possible brides that thost interested have assigned them. Some of our centemporaries among the public prints even went so far as to mention them publicly. Now, however, one-half of the speculation has been brought to a sudden termina tion by the marriage ot one of the young men. At high noon today at All Saints' church, in the presence of only the family of the rector and a few friends and relatives of the principles, the marriage of the Rev. Robert Seaton Flockhart and Miss Marguerite Alice Meyer, daughter of Mrs. Henry Meyer was solemnized. I he Kev. John Edward Flockhart, the other object of the attention of fond mothers, acted as best, man and Mr. Gustav A. Meyer, brother of the bride, gave her awav. The Rev. Flockhart and his bride have gone east for a week and a half, that being the length of the young rector's leave of absence. He has been associated with the Rev. T. J. Mackay as assistant rector of All Saints' church for the last two years. His bride is a charming young woman who has a wide circle of friends in Omaha's Country club set. She has traveled abroad extensively, prefer ing travel to much schooling as the means of acquiring a liberal educa tion. Gustav Meyer, the bride's brother, was married recently to Lucy Gore Cotton, niece of Mrs. John Brady. A. L. Meyer is the bride uncle. SURPRISES FRIENDS BY HER WEDDING. Meti-Mack Wedding.

Would be pleased to have your opin ion: alto whether a difference In creed should be lakpn Into consideration, as both are unwilling to chance their religion de spite the fact that they are deeply In love with each other. JACK B. There seem number of barriers to this marriage but none ot them Is Insurmount able if lore chooses to find the way. A young rouple can manage nicely on 120 a week: a few years difference In age one way or another (please notice that I said "a few years) does not matter particu- ! larly: and differences In creed do not In "Our attitude toward events often causes the events that happen to us," once remarked Lord Beaconsfield. In other words, the way in which you "take" things has an offset upon the things you will have to take. You will make them better or worse. I was reminded of those words by what happened to a man the other day. He had "an awful day of it" he declared. Living in a boarding house, he forgot to wind up the alarm clock that wakes him in the morning. Annoying. Very! Waking late and trying to make up lost time, he cut himself severely while shaving. More annoying still. Hurrying downstairs, he met one of the lodgers who "laughed at him in an irritating man ner." He had three minutes in which to eat his breakfast and he spent them in scolding the landlady for setting such a scandalous meal before him. With the landlady's threat that she would certainly bring an action for slander against him ringing in his ears, he rushed off to the station and, missing his train, spent the interval he had to wait in calling on the sta tion master and complaining that the management of the station was scan dalous. He was so busy in his work that he only caught the next train by the skin of his teeth. Frightfully an noying! When the conductor de manded his ticket three -stations fur ther down, and he had not got one, he addressed a short lecture to the other occupants of the car. He was getting annoyed really annoyed. He was arrested and fined for hitting a passenger who told hhn he ought to be ashamed of himself. All those troubles sprang from the first the alarm not going off was the egg out of which they were all hatched. If his "attitude" to that event had been right if he had taken it calmly none of the other troubles would have come upon him. How you "take" things certainly has a most important effect upon the things you will have to take. Burton, the traveler, found the pro verb, "Troubles never come singly." popular among all the eastern people he visited. "Bad luck" came in streaks. He mentioned the fact to a Persian astrologer renowned for his wisdom, and the astrologer told him that it was perfectly true troubles came in flocks. "The reason is simple," he said. "Human beings in wonderful degree draw on themselves the things that happen to them. The happy person attracts to himself or herself haDDi- : ness. The unhappy person does just I the opposite. The troubled person gathers troubles to himself. With the healthy person all food agrees. With the unhealthy person all foods save one or two disagree. Therefore, if you would avoid troubles when it first arrives, shake it from you and care fully attune your soul to attract happy fortune. This is wisdom, my son." His theory amounts to this, that a person "makes his luck" that as he is "attuned" to good things or bad, so they come. Probably, if one turns one's eyes on "how things happen," one will find a good deal to bear out the truth of the astrologer's theory. Haven't you noticed how, if something happens to mar one's exceptionally good temper, other things follow of the same kind? A piece of good news in the morning and the day will be fortunate. We are prepared predisposed one way or the other, and we influence what is to come so that it is good or bad. me one that wears a Georgette blouse hit has nothing under it but a mere ! much cheaper between seasons. 1 here . terfere with lore or perfect companionship, pretense of an undergarment, and ' are splendid ready-to-wear suits now .
