WOMAN'S PAGE. Studying the Cost of a Wedding BY LYDIA LE Now that the Fall wedding season §s in full swing it is interesting to note that whether a wedding isa small or a large affair, and whether the families are wealthy or not, the ques- tion of expenses is glways one of care- ful consideration. It is not alone what outlay must be THE BRIDE'S BOUQUET SHOULD BE THE GIFT OF THE BRIDE- GROOM. mmade, but by whom it should be borne. The idea that the bride's family pays item is mistaken. There are some expenses, though they are very few, to be sure, that should be met by the bridegroom. It is a matter of in- BEDTIME STORIE Caught at Last. lef is with danger fraugh ‘ou're almost certain to be caug o B ooby e Bar, Farmer Brown's Boy had discover- RON WALKER terest, though not of any particular significance, that In estimating costs it is always said that the family of the bride pays the expenses belonging to her share, while no one thinks of say- ing anything other than that the bridegroom pays his portion. His fam- liy is not expected to share the costs. Whatever expenses are his portion 1o meet are of so personal a nature that he himself is expected to pay for them. The wedding itself is for the bride’s family to finance. The bride's family payvs for engrav- ing, addressing and delivery of invita- tions or announcements, If there is a church wedding they pay for the music and floral decora- tions there as well as at the home, and for awnings if used. Also for the servant on duty at the church door to assist any guests who may wish help after arriving. It is expected that a servant will be in attendance for such service. For a church wedding the parents pay for the conveyances taking the bride, bridesmaids, her family and all house guests to the church and back— except the bride, who returns with the bridegroom at his expense. The bride’s tamily also pays for conveyances from the station to the house for out-of- town guests, and if the wedding is in the country a conveyance often calls at the right time to take them to the church, if they are staying at some inn or hotel. The bride's family also pays for every detail in connection with the reception, the refreshments, the cater- er, his assistants, etc. Every item for the bride's trous- seau, and her costume—except the bouquet—are the parents’ expense. It is customary for the bride to pre- sent the ushers with boutonnieres, and for the bridegroom to give the bridesmaids their bouquets, The bride buys the gifts for the bridesmaids and the bridegroom’s ring, of course, if the double-ring service is used. The bridegroom pays for the mar- riage license, the fee for the officiating clergyman and any assistants, the sexton for opening and lighting the church, as well as giving him a tip; the wedding ring, the bride’s bouquet and those for her bridesmaids. The last mentioned is not imperative any more than for the bride to pay for the boutonnieres for the ushers, but cus- tom sanctions this division, otherwise the bride’s family pays for the brides- maids’ bouquets and the bridegroom the flowers for the men’s coats. The bridegroom also pays for the convey- ances for himself and his best man, and for the ushers, either to the church and then to the house, or, it the wedding takes place at the bride's home, he attends to the payment for conveyances to her home. He gives his best man some souvenir gift and the ushers less elaborate ones. He may also present these men with their gloves and neckties, but this is op- tional. He may give them a farewell dinner to bachelorhood on the night previous to the wedding. The division as stated gives a good conception of how the costs are met. It indicates clearly that the man as well as the girl's family has some ex- penses to meet, though the latter are often sald to have them all. BY THORNTON W.

Then he knocked off some boards of the porch floor, until at last he was able to locate Cubby’s hole. Of course, Cubby had heard what was going on and once had tried to get out at the Finding his hole stopped, he had scurried back and was sulking in the hole he had dug. ‘When at last Farmer Brown’s Boy ripped up the boards immediately over that hole Cubby tried to dodge past him and get away, But Farmer Brown’s Boy was too quick for him. He caught Cubby by a hind leg and despite Cubby’s struggle carried him where he could not get into mischief. ‘Then Farmer Brown’s Boy went back to investigate that hole. In it he found all the missing things—the towels, the pieces of carpet, his over- ells, his coat and one or two other things that hand’t been missed. Cubby certainly had a comfortable bed in there, Farmer Brown's Boy chuckled as he pulled the various things out mnd shook them.

NANCY PAGE Hats for School Girls Are Snug and Simple. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. One of Peter's favorite nleces was on her way West to a finishing school. Her mother felt it would be wise for her to spend a year in a different part of the ccuntry. She was thrilled to think tha. she was going to see, really see, the «‘rand Canyon, Yellowstone Park and Hollywood. A girl from her home town was going with her, so they scorned the idea of homesickness. Then, too, they were so proud of their new clothes that they amused Uncle Peter and Aunt Nancy immensely. Nancy had great praise for her sis- ter-in-law’s taste in clothes. She ad- mired tae girls’ hats. One was a small, simple, close-fitting hat of vel- vet, stitched in self color. It was cut to fit the head closely and was shaped over the ears. Another hat was of tan felt, with a slight brim. The trimming consisted of two bands of felt. The dressiest hat was a_copy of a French model. It was a blue velvet beret draped toward the back and side. A small bow of blue grosgrain ribbon was the only trimming, Nancy felt that these were hats par excellence for 14-year-old schoolgirls. (Covyright, 1927.) o Baked Bean Timbales.

(Copyright. 1927 ) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. It Is No Longer a Cold. Shortly before the demise of Judge Gary the public was informed that the steel company head had “a slight at- tack of nervous indigestion.” When his death was announced a few hours after his demise the public learned that the man had really had myo- carditis — which means, literally, in- flammation of the muscle of the heart, but not inflammation as the layman understands the word. Myocarditis is rather an insidious, chronic degenera- tion or wearing out of the heart mus- cle, a common occurrence in the slow heart failure that terminates so many careers after a prolonged state of semi-invalidism or general debility. Of course, we cannot know what secret mental processes may have in- fluenced the man's vegetative func- tions, what emotions may have dis- turbed the digestion, nor what fears, anxieties, enmities, regrets, disappoint- ments or sorrows may have disordered the delicate balance of his autonomic or ‘“sympathetic” nervous system and so upset the involuntary workings of the vital organs. We know only that many a case of myocarditls masquer- ades as “nervous indigestion.” . “Nervous indigestion,” as it occurs in the news, is a serious matter. To my mind it is more alarming than a frank statement that the patient has myocarditis, because the moment I learn that the doctors have given out that the patient has “indigestion” of any kind I begin to wonder what OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Pati The Neglected One. Dear teacher, who sits in the back seat? That seat off in the shadowed corner, farthest from the door farthest from your desk? What sort of child is he and what made you seat him ::;:- :nd what have you done for him I ask because the child in the back seat is often the (ause of a lot of trouble. He has some unlovely trait or other, some trick of manner, some deficiency of character that shows in poor conduct, unrhythmic gait, covert glance and poor lessons. You the teacher cannot get rid of him. He is on the roll and he must be accounted for to the authorities and to his mother. You ease him into the back seat and forget him as far as he will permit. Look after that child. Once you have started the class on its routine it will go a while on its own momen. tum. Take time out for the child in the back seat. Examine his physique critically. Take down hi: ight and weight, his color, the condition of his skin, his vision, his hearing, his teeth, his posture, the length and strength of his back, the way he walks, plays, ‘Write all that down in book. Each item sheds light xt one and together they tell V. Then dig into his mind. Find what stories he responds to as you tell him one a day. Try to discover what place in arithmetic he cracks wide open on and star: behind it and from a new angle mend the crack. Test out his spelling and if it is bad search in his vision for a possible defect. If his handwriting is very bad examine his muscles, the forearm and the hand, to see how well developed they are not. Set him a series of exercises in the gym, in the playgroun® in his seat with' his crayons apd tough paper to dlriect the energy into the right chan- nels. Explore that child in the back seat until you know what he is and how to help him. Soclety will not owe you much if you teach the child who can teach himself, It will owe you a crown and @ halo it you take that neglected child out of the back seot and help him to grow the little talent' he has into something big enough and strong enough _to carry him forward just a little, Just enough to make him fecl he belongs, that he counts, that folk lke him and wish him well. He knows that he didn't measure up somehow and so you put him in the back seat. That hurts even the dullest mind in the schoolroom.

It takes more than a paint job, whether the Seal Brand Tea Is of the Same High Quality . a universal aspiration which is never dread news one should expect to fol- low. . It is the same with the handy little old “cold.” When a layman of aver- age Intelligence says he ha:s a “cold” I am willing to let it go at that, for he probably doesn’t know any better, and it is nothing to me if the fellow doesn’t attempt to spray me with whatever he has got. When a doctor goes about his routine work with what he calls “a heavy cold,” I feel sorry for the patients who will be exp 1 to whatever the doctor has got, but I can't run around to warn them; I can only give them this general warn- ing, and they may take it or leave it, as they prefer. When an impor- tant citizen falls ill and the anxieties of the public are soothed by bulletins telling how the great one has “merely contracted a cold,” I get set to listen for the *“Presto!” but somehow it al- ways eludes me and presently the lightning change act is all finished and nobody notices anything spurious about it. The magic whereby they change the “slight cold" into a real illness is real to the public, apparently. It requires something more than courage for a doctor to say frankly, in private practice, that he doesn’t know as yet what the patient is de- veloping. The chances are that the patient won't develop anything under such a doctor’s care; he'll summon a doctor who knows at once what is the matter. So I say it takes not only courage, but supreme indifference to public approval for a doctor to play the game. (Copyright, 1027.) his own characteristic fashion and by that sign you will know him.

THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Wednesday, September 28. Astrologers read tomorrow as a for- tunate day. Benefic aspects rule mildly in the early hours, becoming definitely helpful later. For agriculture there is a prcmis- ing sign that indicates better profits from the soil. ‘While there will be speculation in grain. the farmer will benefit, it is forecast. Counsel of older men is likely to be sought while this configuration pre- vails. Political sages will command attention. Bankers and financiers should profit at this time, when they will be called upon to assume big responsibilities. Astrologers warn tkat there will be many crooked schemes launched, and despite exposures of fraudulent meth- ods, many investors will suffer. Advice from men of large affairs and high standing in the world of finance should be sought constantly at this time. Writers are subject to the most stimulating planetary influences, and they should profit in the coming months, ‘This is a most auspicious day for newspapers and favorable for the signing of big advertising contracts. Personal publicity is well directed, but the stars presage an avalanche of it for the next 12 months. Both politicians and theatrical stars will seek the limelight, and unusually large numbers of persons will compete for notice in the public press, it is foretold. Fame for a new writer is indicated, for there is to be a voice crying in the wilderness of printer's ink and com- pelling serious thought. Persons whose birtk date it is have the augury of a profitable year in which they should make real progress. Children born on that day have the possibilities of success along practical lines of work. (Copyrizht. 1927.) Everyday Law Cases Is Bank Liable for Cashing Check With Unauthorized Indorsement? BY THE COUNSELLOE. The Wayne Oil Co. employed Philip Bailey as a traveling salesman to sell oil and collect past-due accounts from customers. During the course of his employment Bailey collected checks to the amount of over $2,000 which customers h~4 ~iven him and for which they rcceived no credit on the books of the Wayne Oil Co. ‘When this fact was discovered it was also learned that Bailey had left the country and his whereabouts were unknown. ~Inquiry developed the fact that Bailey had indorsed the checks. cashed them at the Towne Bank and appropriated the proceeds to his own use. The checks bore the indorse- ments, “Wayne Oil Co., per P. Bailey.” The Wayne Oil Co. brought suit against the Towne Bank for having cashed these checks. The bank de- fended itself on the ground that as Philip Bailey had been appointed the agent of the Wayne Oil Co. to tollect checks and the money he had the incidental right to indorse checks that came into his possession. The court compelled the bank to repay the Wayne Oil Co., stating: “The authority of an agent to make collections does not carry with it the right to indorse checks so taken in the name of the principal, as the in- dorsement is not a necessary incident to the collection of accounts. The bank having cashed checks bearing an unauthorized indorsement is liable to est—if it pays 1-tter than being otherwise.
