Bryan, Mrs. Bryan, hondsome in pearl gray chiffon, over satin; Sena- tor and Mrs, Fletcher, the latter wearing an elegant toilette.of mauve brocade velvet, with silver trim- mings; Miss Nell Fletcher, charm- ingly arrayed in white satin, with a fichu of lace; Miss Louise Fletcher, in gold and white brocade; Repre- sentative and Mrs. Frank Clark, Mrs, Clark, gowned in pale blue chiffon, over a petticoat of satin and trim- mings of silver, and Miss Christine Memminger, of Lakeland, who was lovely in a Paris gown of changeable green and blue silk, embroidered in colored beads and veiled in green chiffon. A Course in Matrimony. A course in matrimony? Why laugh at it? Why do we laugh? Because divorce has become 8o easy and common that the very idea o happy marriage is itself a joke? Any lawyer at all can pilot one to divorce. It should not seem impos- sible nor preposterous that there are advisers who can point out the for- mula for happy married life, The bishop of Ripon has lamented that England has no schools for en- gaged couples. In France the govern- ment presents each bride and bride- groom with a booklet of advice about family matters. Even our own late President Roosevelt now and then lightened his leisure by semi-officially pointing out the path of duty to rmothers. So the idea of instruction in matri- mony is not so new and strange as the thoughtless seem to suppose. Unfortunately it is a delicate sub- ject for teaching. There can be no legitimate instruc- tion until there are recognized in- structors. And where are they? Those who have had the highest success in marr‘lage hold the fewest theories about it. Those who fiuently express decided opinions on the subject are the un- married. All those who have been most mar- ried encounter a distinct prejudice and are not encouraged to parade their experiences. The novel is the great directing and molding agency in most of our emotion, particularly with women. But the typical novel of a generation ago ended with happy mariage, while the typical novel of today begins with a situation that has made a marriage unhappy and a failure. So, in this important matter, fiction furnishes little real instruction. Happy and successful marriage is either the most complicated and dif- ficult question in the world—or else it is the simplest. Without true love, that simplifies all things, overcomes all things and endures all things, all the philasophy of the ages is of no avail. But with true love, the faintest cooing of an infant fills a home with sweetest music and the light in trust- ing eyes illuminates the world with infinite wisdom.—Pensacola Journal.| get away from."—Kangas City Star.|already going the pace that kills” o W A Photo, Copyright, geother in front by a brooch, but the broken lines. IN SHAPE OF MALTESE CROSS Odd Pincushion Design That Will Be & Welcome Addition to the Tollet Table. New suggestions for dainty and eas- {ly made pincushions are always wel come, and in our sketch may be seen a pretty little article of this descrip- tion. It is made in the shape of a Mal- tese Cross, and should be carried out in quite a small size. In making it, a cross must be care- tully drawn upon thick cardboard, each side being exactly equal, and then cut out with a sharp pen knife. That side of the board which is to form the front of the cushion must be thickly padded with cotton wool and then covered with pale blue vel- vet and the back portion covered with _————— sateen, the two materials being sewn together at the edges. The cross is then entirely outlined with a dark blue silk cord of a fanc pattern, and a small loop of ribbon of a color to match is sewn on at the top, by which the cushion may be suspended from a nail in the wall. There are, of course, many other pretty combinations of color in which this cushion may be carried out, and silk or satin may take the place of velvet if preferred, and in that case, some pretty little floral design can be worked or painted upon it. And also, in place of the loop of ribbon, a small brass ring may be sewn on, and might possibly prove more serviceable and last longer than the ribbon loop for suspending it from the wall.

I —_— Immense Centerplece No Longer ¢ Used—S8maller Particles, In One Color 8cheme, Now Aocepted as the Proper Thing. The English idea of decorating & table for a luncheon or a dinner pre- vails now instead of the American method. The latter was always creat- ing discomfort because it consisted of a high spreading centerplece which kept all the people on one side of the table from seeing the people on the other. : The English idea is to separate the decoration into small particles, none of them high, and all carrying out one color scheme. This is not only at- | tractlve to the eye In an artistic sense, but it is helpful to the eye be- cause one's vision is not always blocked by flowers. And no matter how splendid may be the blossoms that intercept your glances at some one else, they are a nuisance. | Several years ago we adopted the . method of placing small crystal or sil- -ver vases in a wide circle on the ta- ble surrounding a basket of fruit or & mound of flowers. The small vases were fllled with small blossoms. One especially lovely decoration was a mingling of fuchsias with pink rose- buds and small ferns surrounding a centerplece of loose pink roses with ferns bedded In a large mound sur rounded by a silver fender. Another decoration was of lilles of the valley with purple hyacinths, and & mass of the latter in the middle in- terspersed with pink roses. Sets of vases both in silver and crystal were offered at the shops for this kind of table decoration, and now the newest offering is a series of cut glass bowls, almost vaselike in shape, the large {one In the center and six small ones | attached to it by ornamental chains {of heavy crystal balls and loops. The chains are pulled rather taut {from the middle ball and a bed of | ferns is laid under them. From the small bowls which hold the small flowers are lighter glass chaing which you run out to squat glasg candlesticks which are too low even with the candles in them to an- noy the guests by flickering the light in thelr eyes. The entire outfit of sparkling crystal is really lovely and contributes immensely to the attrac- tiveness of a table.
