So were the bridesmaids’ dresses of flowered net. Their frocks had a number of distinctive fashion notes, First, the neckline was cut similar to the 1830 style of dress. The effect was that of long, sloping shoulders. Quite in keeping with this neckline were the short puffed sleeves. The bodices were distinctly nipped in @t the waist and the skirts had flounce after flounce. i Their gloves were a little less than elbow-length and were worn wrinkled @t wTist and on forearm. Their bouquets were old-fashioned nosegays. Their hats were lacy affairs with shallow crown, brim off the face and low on the shoulders and back of neck. Eunice’s dress used net also, but it ‘was unpatterned and of a creamy tint. Since the weddln% was an informal out-of-doors one, she felt quite correct in her sleeveless dress, since it had the bertha or cape effect which came well down over the arms. Then, too, her gloves were of creamy tint, so that they seemed a part of the ensemble. Her hat ‘was of creamy lace braid, fashioned on lines similar to those of her brides- maids. The bodice of the dress was fitted in at waist. The lower part of it gave the smart peplum effect. Into the bottom of this was set the full skirt. Her flowers were a sheaf of garden flowers. The bridegroom wore the correct cos- tume of flannel trousers, dark flannel coat, white shirt and tie. For informal out-of-door Summer weddings the bride and bridegroom were dressed.

Emi- nence in the field of medicine has brought the statues of three physicians to_the hall. Here one finds Henry Clay, top hat in hand and dressed as a.Kentucky gentleman. Almost across from him stands the stern John C. Calhoun of South Carolina. Daniel Webster of New Hampshire, third member of that triumvirate of cotemporary statesmen, has a position just to the rear of Clay and only a few feet removed from the spot where he fell with a stroke of paralysis while pre- siding over the House of Representa- tivgs. hode Island has sent Roger Wil- liams, “father” of the State and preacher among the Indians, as one of two distinguished sons. Pennsylvania has picked Robert Fulton, the inventor, to fill one of her niches among the im- mortals. Almost arm-in-arm are the bronze statues of George Washington and Rob- ert E. Lee. Approved by President Lincoln in 1864 and with each State entitled to send likenesses of two of its most fa- mous citizens, statuary hall is being filled so rapidly that Congress has been asked to provide larger and more suit- able quarters. Representative George Tinkham of Massachusetts now has pending such & bill. It is his belief that statuary hall has served its day; that the crowded condition which prevails there ‘has been a source of ridicule and contempt for America’s lack of dignity and cul- ture for years.” Tinkham proposes that Congress es- tablish an American hall of fame to house the statues now reposing there, as well as those yet to be received. There “is weeping, there is wailing, in old Punktown-by-the-Bend, for the census shows he's failing to maintain her upward trend; the inhabitants are fewer than they were 10 years ago, the calloused evil-doer who conducts the census show. There is sighing, there is swearing, there is wrath on every hand, as the people keep on star- ing at the figures as they stand. And the real estate promoters, they are pawing in the sun, saying to the pass- ing voters, “Surely something should be done. Oh, those blamed old census takers, who'd deny our splendid growth, they are pikers, they are fakers, who'd believe them under oath?” There is talk of crime and treason to account for Punktown's fall, and the merchant princes reason that there's spite work back of all. Cries one voter, like a Stentor, “Census figures make us cry; we must look to Gumbo Center if we'd know the reason why. That uncouth, fmmoral village hates us with & death- less hate, she'd resort to crime and pil- lage to put Punktown in & crate. She has bribed the census takers, there can be no doubt of that, so they skipped a dozen bakers and the butcher and his cat” In our church the mournin; pastor, with his bulging dome of thought, speaks about the dire disaster that the census takers wrought. And he hints that they'll be frying through an endless string of days, for their sys- tematic lying when they counted Punk- town jays. And the teacher tells his schol that the census men were frauds; “They were bribed with outside dollars or with other shameless gawds.” 8o the counting of our noses put the village in a fix, and instead of throwing roses we are throwing rocks and bricks. ‘WALT MASON.

Murray, a member of the Confederate «Congress from Tennessee, presented himself this morning at Col. Ingraham’s office in this city and took the oath of allegiance to the United States, as prescribed in the recent proclamation of President Johnson. Fourteen questions, applicable to the exceptions enumerated in the Presi- dent’s recent amnesty proclamation were propounded to Mr. Murray before the oath was administered. To all of them he answered in the negative ex- cept the fourteenth question, which is as follows: “Have you voluntarily par- ticipated in the rebellion? If so, is the estimated value of your property over $20,0002" ‘To this question Mr. Murray replied that he had never paid taxes on $20.000 worth of property, and he did not know how much he was worth financially. Henry C. Burnctt, a Confederate Sen- ator from Kentucky, appeared this morning at Gol. Ingraham's office for the purpose of taking the oath of al- legiance. As he was formerly a mem- ber of the United States House of Rep- resentatives he was unable to answer favorably the question: “Did you leave & seat in the Congress of the United States to aid the rebellion?” The oath of allegiance was adminis- tered to Mr. Burnett, nevertheless, in order to afford him an opportunity to make a special application, under the amnesty proclamation, to President Johnson for the restoration of his rights as a citizen of the United States The loyal Iladies of Montgomery County, Md., have Eurchls!d a large American _flag, which they propose to raise at Rockville this week with ap- propriate exercises. Addresses will be made by Judge Richard Bowie of Maryland and Lieut. Col. B. T. Hutchins of the 1st New Hampshire Regiment. Col. Hutchins is at present in command of the military district in which Rock- ville is located. President Johnson has appointed Andrew J. Hamilton of Texas to be provisional governor of that State, and James Johnson to be provisional gov- ernor of Georgia, according to an an- nouncement made at the White House this moming. Jellied Prunes. Wash half a pound of prunes and soak them over night in two cupfuls of cold water, add three-fourths cupful of sugar and cook until tender in the same water.

Add half a cuglul of cold water to two tablespoon- fuls of granulated gelatin, then add half & cupful of boiling water. Pour over the prunes and chill. This may be served with whipped cream or plain cream. Pea Timbales.

Unwept, unhonored and unsung. So it would seem, but actually nothing of the sort. Stenographer-secretaries are merely the victims of that curious glare in which, even in the business world, one cannot see the forest for the trees. ‘Why is it that almost all stenographer- secretaries are women? I've talked to successful business men and it appears that women's universal, distinguishing trait is—loyalty. One man sald women bring to the service of good bosses a measure of the same kind of devotion that illumines and makes splendid their lives when, at Iast, they leave to be married. Another man told me of a girl who had served him faithfully for eight years. Then, after due notice, she was married. by chance you ever need a job he told her, “please come to me Some years passed. The employer, enormously wealthy, retired, but still re- tained interests in many organizations. His former stenographer-secretary was happy and had two children. Then her husband died after a long iliness, which left very little money. She was re-en- gaged by her old boss.
