A "blue-and - lavender wedding'' was the nuptial event of Thursday evening when Miss Mary Alice Du val, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Duval, became the bride of Mr. Rolliu Sturtevant of Kansas City. The ceremony was performed in the new St. Barnabas church by Father John Williams, former rector, who mar ried the bride's parents in the old St. Barnabas church many years ago. as sisted by the present rector. Rev. Lloyd B. Holsapple. Palms and lilies and numerous white candles decorated the church where Miss Maude Grebe gave a half hour's organ recital preceding the cerenionv. Miss Mabel Allen sang "All Joy Divine." after which the bridal party entered, to the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march. The Mendelssohn march was playvd for the recessional. The bridal cou ple knelt on white satin pillows while the marriage vows were spoken. The bride, who entered on the arm of '.ier father, was gowned in a simple white satin gown, embroidered in pearls, fashioned with front and back panels and side cascades of satin. The bodice was square-cut and made with long white tulle sleeves and her veil of white tulle, with a. Juliet crown of pearls, fell to the end of her skirt, which was made quite short. Her bouquet of white sweet peas and lilies of the valley had for its cen ter lavender ofchids, and was tied with white, lavender and blue tulle.

The costume of Miss Mary Hanlon For many years the French have endeavored to uproot the belief and to convert the ones who practice its evil tenets, but to no avail. Today witchcraft is believed in and is prac ticed as it was in ancient times, and that wonderfully rich land is kept in a state of near-savagery by its influ ence.

Tempting Sick ' Children Every one who have had the care of a convalescent child knows how hard it is to make him eat the things that the doctor has prescribed. In genious mothers and nurses have in vented all sorts of schemes and de vices to make the simple diet of the sick child acceptable and interesting. The little invalid who refuses to take his milk and eggs will often drink an eggnog from a tall glass through a straw. A little girl admires parties, and will eat almost anything if it is served from a doll's tea set. especially if some of her dolls are invited t share the feast. The dessert may be covered with a little tent, house or wigwam, with, a tiny doll standing guard at the door, and no peeking is allowed until everything else on the tray is eaten. Faces may be sketched on the eggs and hats or caps tied on them. Toast cut in fancy shapes is most exciting. It can be trimmed with a knife and trade into little houses with doors and windows, or it may be cut with rookv cutters. A doll's chafing dish is a lot of fun. If the invalid is strong enough to sit up, a small ta ble may be set and he will never know what is being served if father is the waiter with a napkin over his arm. With a little thought and care the child may be made to eat almost anything. New York Tribune.

Present your Christmas book in a saleable condition and you will have no trouble in exchanging it. : : : By ADELAIDE KENNERLY. Christmas is over and I find there are hundreds of books reposing on library tables, dressing tables and in trunks. Why? you ask. Because they were purchased without knowledge of taste or preference for authors. "I have another copy of the Ru biyatt," whined one young lady, "and this makes the third in my book case. I wanted one of Walt Mason's books of wisdom or Doug Fairbanks laughs but this Rubiyatt!!! Good graci ous! I pick up old Omar's philoso phy whenever I have the blues and sink deeper in my cynicism." Another young woman has before her one of George Barr McCutcheon's latest books while she is "just dying" for that' new book on theosophy or something along the line of occult science. Rubiyatts for Walt Masons. Because I shop with all women and because it is my earnest endeavor to help straighten out their problems, I made the rounds of the book shops and came jam-up on some facts: The majority of book shops and book sections in department stores are perfectly willing to exchange a "Rubiyatt" for a Walt Mason, or a George Barr McCutcheon for scienti fic works oh, wait a minute, there has already been a rush provided these books have not been read, are not soiled and are returned before Saturday night. To my surprise almost astonish mentbooks are offered for exchange that have been read; that are soiled, even dirty, and where the leaves look as though they have been cut witfc a hatchet instead of a letter opener. Can you imagine such a thing such supreme impudence? And those who wish to return them declare with innocent eyes that they have not looked into the books deeper than the title page. And then these people wonder why salespeople learn to question some folk's honesty. Be Honest! The book stores are willing and glad to be fair. Bring your book in in a saleable condition and they will make any reasonable exchange. They want to please you, especially if you act honest and square with them. The proprietor of one place knows human nature so well that character reading has become second nature. Go into that store and the proprietor I have in mind will, almost invariably, tell you what kind of reading matter you Begins Saturday iC.Jr k like best and surest the latest offer ings of the press. Be honest! Be fair! Bp fltlii-t;! Present your book in decent shape ! and you will have no trouble in ex changing it for one you like better. Isn't that fair enough? Dancing Parties For Miss Mett.
