According to the clergymen the great object of life is to avoid a too warm temperature hereafter and to make sure of a perennial paradise, but, according to what one sees, the majority of mankind at present, clergymen Included, seems to have as its great aim seeking an agreanble present tom- perature and looking out for the temporary Edens that man has created for his own ssing pleasure, and at most of which few fi‘va like ascetics or follow any too closely the restrictive suggestions of the decalogae. ‘This is truly a remarkable season, and never in the history of Omaha has there been 50 many peopie out of town during the dog days. While it is a hard thing to gev at it 1s quite yafo that Onahans will spend on their vacation this year $250,000, the interest. of which, wisely directed, would found a_wor- thy charity and maintain 1t forever.

L The marriage of Miss Mabel Orchard and $dr. William T. Wyman is tc take place at Trinity cathedral October 19 to be followed by a reception at the Paxton. In all esseu- tials this will be the wodding par excollence of the vear, for it unites two well known and well beloved socioty leaders. It will be a besutiful wedding for there aro to be eight bridesmaids and Miss Helene Wyman, the very pretty daughtor of Hon. A. U. Wyman, and sister of the groom, 18 to be tne maid of honor. While not speaking ex cathedra, the young ladies of Omaha who will assist in the marriage ceremonies will likely be Miss Belle Dews her very Intimate friond of years, Miss' May Dundy, Miss Hosgland, Miss Laura Hoagland. ' Thres bridesmaids will come from eastern cities. The engagement of Miss Orchard ana Mr. Wyman has been known for some time among their friends, but tho seoret has been well kept from the world at large until now. Previous to Miss Orchard’s depurture for tho east quite & number of friends availed themselves of the opportunity to extend con- gratulations over the very happy affair. The dircetors of tho Omata club. now that they have recelved suggestions from archi- » 1ects us to how the new club house sbould bo built, bave called for new plans on the ground that they want a_story taken off the = plans as submitted. This will give local architects auother chance, as it is pretty well known, had tho decision boen mado on the old plans, a foreign architect would huve \ walkod off with tno prize. Mrs. S.

Wedding in Denver, A romantio wedding took place in Denver Just 83 yeurs ago and 1t is of particular iuter- 51 Lo the peoplo of that ety and of Council Bluffs, from the fact that it was the first wedding ever porformed in Denver and that the parties to it were Mr. aud Mis, J. B, Atkius of this city, In those days aithough thero were parsous to be found thoy were pot plestiful por were they siriotly orthodox in their. bohavier. Mr. Atkins made a long and weary search for some one to tie the knot and at last got track of a Methodist clergyman. After ansthor search he found his house and when he arrived there he was informed that the clergyman was out in the back yard and that he might go around and find him. It was Sunday moraihg and Mr. Atkins was somewhat surprised when he reached the back yard to find that the min- ister was working himself up into a proper condition for his morning sermon by digging for a littie of the yellow metal that made life in the ost so " attractive in 1850, The wedding took place without any hitohes and the couple “lived happy ever after." Leap Year Coaching Party. Monday evening a number of young ladies gave a leap year coaching party in honor of their gentiman friends, The coach was met at Sixteenth and Farnam streets at 8 o’clock and started on its tour about the city. The driving program was Sixteenth to Cuming, to Twenty-fourth street, to Kountze Place, 1o Sherman avenue, and from thence to the park, where an elegant shpper of five courses was served by Balduff, after which chairs and tables were cleared away and daneing was in order. At an early hour the conch resumed 1ts drive, and all the gentiemon wereescorted home in true leap year style. It was a pleasantly succossful affair, due in most part to the efforts of Misses Kramer ana Fitzpatrick. The gentlemen who had tho honor to be present wero: Messrs. Sears, Thomas, Banks, Over, Fowler, Reide, Conway, Do Wald, Brenan, Kuhn, Butler. Misses Gatenrich, Baager, Wieburg, Sun- deen, Kramer, Dayis, Ankele, Deyine, An- drecsen, Fitzpatrick. A Bachelor Party. A most enjoyable evening was spent Wednesday at the bachelor quartérs of Messrs, H. Risloy and C. T. Butler at 2i05 Davenport street. There were in the neighborhood of .fourteen couples present. The musio was beautifully rondered by the Mandolin orchestra. Dancing was tho feature of tho evening, The idea of the hosts was 10 entertain a coterio of their friends boforo the return of Mr. Butler's tolks from Salt Lake, where thoy are spend- wg the summer, The bachelors were as- sisted and chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs, D. Risley. The evening was one long to be re- memberod by all present.

August is the month par excellence for ‘‘spectacular cffects’ to be seon daily on the beach, says a Chicago Herald correspoudent. Earlier in the sea- son the woman who bathes has other reasons than the desire to display “her -charms *a la ballet girl” Firsy, she may bathe because shelikes it; many do—some don't. Second, shomay (bathe ‘‘pour passer la temps,” or because 1t'is quite the thing to 48 at the sod: shore. Third, and last, her reason for seek: ing the ocean’s embraces may be to reduco her avoirdupois, for 1t is a very well under- 4tood fact that there is no more quick and successful method of ‘“training down' superfluous flesh thai a stout tussle daily with the restless waves. It is porfoctly useless to go in the water daintily snd gin- gerly, and, olinging to the frisndly rope. jump'up and down gently a few timas, Tho woman who does this will nnd sho is in exactly the same position as she who takes the Turkish bath luxuriously--growing daily stouter and stouter. No. if you wunt to grow thin—and where is the stout woman who takes to sea-bathing without such o hope hidden away in some corner of her heart!—you must learn to swim, and then lot the waves pound and buffet you as they wiil, all the ume struggle. und fight your way through them, until your whole body glows from head to foot; then you must run up and dowu tho track a whilo and let the hot midday sun of summer bring out the perspiration, and you wili grow thin and tough and strong, just as any other properly taken exerciso will make you, And if you are inclined to embonpoint look at those half-dozen forlorn fomales clinging to the ropo atany bathing resort, weighing to- gethier fully two-thirds of a thousand pounds, and get off every ounce of extra Kize as fast as you can. For fat folk do not look well in batking suits, And they have only one consolation—neithor do thin ones. Somebody said just now that a family skeleton should not be paraded so puviicly before the world, and eyeryone near who dia not laugh tittered, for there were a @roup of very attenuated looking females edging themseives down toward the water. But Lo return to our two bathers of whom Mam’selle spoke and whose appearance called forth moro expressions of approval and ad- miration than tuat ofany other woman on the beach. They were both elegaut in effeot, perfectly comme il faut in appearance, and yet as difforent in attire as in maoner, and, although this is not at all a case of “‘the iady and the tiger,”” Mam’selle wil lleave it to you whether the one or theother is the best forn Both are tall, wel! set-up young womes young, yes, although the two lads who are capering down the plank walk from the bath- ing house after the first suggest a possibility that the crown of motberhood may rest upon the lady they evidently accompany. Bluck From Head to Foot, She is very much tho propar weight to set off a bathing suit, weight probably 150 pounds, which is not too much for her 5 feot 7 inches of height. She wears biack from head c foot. T'he bodice of her bathiug suit iz a blouse, of black stockinette, made as high in the neck and as suug in the collar, which is tied about with a sailor knot, as any shirt walst sent out from tho smartest of sbirtmakers; but sleeves this bolice lacks. ‘There are some large, loose, gathered. ruf- fles which fall down half way over the arm, but as that arm moves about it is perfectly evident that there is no sleeve beneath. Those arms, however, are by no means bare, being encased as tight as tight can be, from the tirst joint of the fingers to the very shoulder, in long, black mitts (which, if the truth were known, would very likely be found to be a pair of stockings cut off at the ankles and hemmed). The shapely lower limbs ave as snucly fitted by black tights, veritable tights with feer, and rendering unnecessary any addition 10 this costume of the Turkisn trousers which were so lately considered a necessary adjunct of the batbing costume feminine. The golden hair of this lady 1s completely covered by a large bluck silk handierchief, knotted gypsy Tashion, walch is quite as becoming as any style of coiffure w0 be imagined. In this attire this lady leaves her bath- house, runs lightiy down to the beach, frolics a while with the littls fellows who are with hber, lads of 4and 6 may be, and then plunges iuto the surf and strikes out boldly ivto the waves. She swims beautifully, evidently enjoys her bath anda after a time comes out on the beach again, perfectly un- embarrassed, and sits down in the sand with <he poys and & group of gay bathers who gather to bask in the sun and her smiles. She is perhaps the married belle of the sea- son, undoubtedly quite as popular as any of the girls, and everything she does is univer- sally admired, as is apt to be the case with a rich and beautiful young woman. Her rival went into the water just before she did—a girl very like her in apvearance, both of face and form—another **daughter of the gous, divinely talland most divinely fair," also having about her head a sili hanakerchief, but of brightest scarlet, from which no teace of hair escaped, no lovelock curled. As she mado hor way to tho surf, laughing and wlking, two or three gallants vame to meet her, clad 1 the usual hmited attire meon call a bathing suit, for the fact of which that they wore anything at all wae may he supposed to give thanks siuce the men soem 80 disposed to curtail them. oped In Scarlet, Like the little group previously descrived, 1his one straightway became theé fixed point at which every ese gazed for the moment, but there was little of the charms of fomi- nine loveliness, except the fair face under its crimson handkerchief, to be secn, for this prospective bather was enfolded from neck to heel in as voluminous & scarlet cloak as that of Mepbistopheles himself, This she wore about ner all the time she stood about on the beach talking with the various loungers thereupon, and just at the moment before plunging into the sea, quick as @ transformation scene, she threw itto an sttendant aud stood revealed iu a costume as snugly trun as her rival's and as brilliant in color as the plumage of a red bird, A moment after she bad made the plunge she was swimming about with a mas- culine friend, with whom sho shortly came out on the beach again Lo bave aunother chat with some newcomers, !/ Tt did not seem to annoy her at all to stand thers with only her feet {n the surf, although her dripping attire clung close and fast, but the minute her feet passed the line where tle waves came and the water was not, the watehful mnaid threw the bie cloak about her shoulders, aud repeated the attention when she came out for good and sat herself down o sun. Now you know how the two belles of the season get themselves up for the ovent of the morning, 8ud you can pay your money and choosa your suiv like the oue or the other, as you fancy. ‘T'he useful oid navy blue flannel is not at all the proper caper this year for bathing suits, Both the color and tho materiai have been superseded. The girl who gets herself upin navy blue, with the old trimming of white braid, will find berself beniud the times. Black for Bathing Sults, Black is very much the popular thing, and serge the material which the latest fashion decress, the thin, wiry kina of serge at that.

About tweive months awo I had an attack of diarrhcea, which became chrouic. I was treated by two prominent physicians of Chicago, but from them received no permanent bonefit. 1 then went to Texas where I was again treated by a leading physician with results sunilar 1o those I had previously experi- enced. In May I came to Wickliffe, Ky., in a very debilitated condition, consequent upon thia long continued trouble. I went to a drug store for relief. Chambertain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhma Remedy was recom- mended. The first doso relieved me. and two 25-cont bottles cured me.
