Instead of being known 0s the first floor, the min corridor of the second story will be called ey strect in honor of T\ T, Gurney. *“T'his is the only name as yet decided on, but all the streets will be named after Ma- sonic notables.

Good Hints for Brides. Fromtime immemorial the bride’s gown has boen white, and if one could only have a simple muslin frock it scems as if it ought to be of that pure tone, because her own heavt is thought to be as clean and white as is he gown. The white gown and the orange blos s are the privilege of the bride, and cven fshe bas to ecconomizeand give up another gown. I can quite appreciate the feelings of the girl who insists_on the white satin, the blossoms and the tulle veil, says a writer in the Ladies Home Journal. She can never wear this costume butonce in her life, for after she has become a wife, roses must take the place of orange blossoms and the tulle vell is never again assumed. Heavy white corded silk, white velyet, white brocade, white mousseline de soie are all shown for the bride’s gown, but tho real wedding mato- vial is white satin. True, it grows yellow with age, as does ivory; but if love is young in the heart there will be the same delight in looking at the folds in the wedding gown that there is in recalling the wedding d A widow who is being murtied for th ond time, may wear any color she wishes; sho = in traveling costume; but. in full dress she must have cither pearl gray or mauve, or ifshe vrefers, some nther color, but never white, nor should she wear_orango blossoms. Roses, daises, oF whatever flower Is suit tho shiade of her frock, are proper; but the white, sweet sielling blossom betong entirely to the young girl. Somobody asks how to arrangea veil and how farit Should extend. You cannot buy a vell by the yard; U o suy, you eaniior tell Low muich you need; the proper way is tohave a storekeeper senda picce of tulle and then drape it on the bride should fall well over her teain, tho boyond it, and should reach the'edge of the skirt in front. Tho orange blossoms aro put on su that thoy are only visible aftor the veil is thrown back, which ceremony should bo performed by two of the bridesmaids when thonewly made husband leans forward to kiss tho bride. In all large citio who make a business of ar vells, but in smaller ones these helpful peo- ploare not always to be found: so just re- member in putting it on that whilo it s light asair itstill must be firmly pinned in posi- tion, and the orange blossoms well in plac: sothat when the front partis thrown back they will present a perfectly well arranged appearau 1t ono wished, pearl could boe substitated for the pearl decoration on the costumo pic- tured, and it would, of course, mako it much less exponsive. By-thebye, it should always be remembered that no matter how beautiful the neck and arme of the brideare, sinning against good form who doos not have aligh-neck and long-slceved bodice, for it must be remembered that she is not going to a dance or a reception, but to a reli - mony that means the joy or mi future life, and, while everything m merry asa marriage bell, in” the bride's frock therd should be an expression of her knowl- edge of that which she is undertaking. A Queen's Econo The queen regent of Spain Is_carrying out areform in her household which is making hera great many enemies in her own imme- diate court circle Formerly the wines, fruit, all kinds of food and the wax candles used at'cach daily dinner in the palace were the perquisites of cert conrt. followers. Nothing was ever say and the servants were paid privately to order two OF threo times @s much as was nec sary, in order than the perquisites might be swollen, Thus the nging brides’ xpense account of the royal pal- acent Madrid sometimes bore several thou- sand wax candles in the course of 4 month, and theso were often sold back athalf price hant who had supplied them, When the late dulke of Aocsta s king of in ho tried very hard to put a stop to this urt thievery, He caused & number of scr- vants to be discharged, but the peculation went on as before.

Woman and Philanthropy. Time was whon woman's sympathy of heart ran away with her judgment, and indiscrimi- nating charity defeated its purpose, But the oman who felt 80 much that she practically did nothing belongs to the past. It is for tho woman of today to avoid the opposite extreme, that of doing 50 much that she feels nothing, saysa writer in Harpers Bazar, To what extent a happy medium is being reachied, wit ress the women on hospital and charity Dboards, conducting vast mission schemes,con- troling institutions for relief of evory sort; thinking, planning, executing for the good of tho ignorant, the wretched and the wicked, sido by sido and hand in hand with men work 1o longer Its hor in_ by suffer- hes Jealously her growing power.
