FASHIONABLE BRIDES TABOO

The weddings of the fashionables
arc no longer "brilliant ) functions,"
says the Chicago Chronicle. Tho elnb
ornto uffnlr of (hu past few yearn has
been replaced by n quiet Lome wed
ding, which (Ioch not lend Ituclf to long
descriptions. "Ami why huve a 'borne
wedding' some people ask. "Wusn't
tho old way the host'"
These fashionables who have planned
and executed the change liave many
rensonn for It. In (lie llrst place they
any a home wedding Is ho much more
uncred. One In Inclined to ask them
why they did not think of that long
ago, before Mrs. Ho nud Ho or Mrs.
Somebody Ulm (nought of It. Why
didn't they have a plain home wedding
when their first daughter wan married,
Why wn tile church so much better
then thnn It Is now? Not that It would
do any good lo nnk nil 'Hioho things,
for tho fiiHhloiitihlu mother of the fash
ionable bride would look at yuu In
grieved wonderment If you did. "A
house wedding Ih ho simple and pretty
hikI my hUMhiiiid llkcx It mo iuiicIi bet
ter, really, we never could think of
having another church wedding," she
would repent, much Impressed with the
words, All of these reanoiiH are uu
Rvoldnnce of the point In question,
which Is simply that home weddings
are now fiiMhlotiiihle and are, therefore,
generally observed. Wllhlu the past
three month I here have been thirty
weddings among the iiltncfurihlouuble
of Chicago, ami of this number but
threo were ohtireh functions.
Hut there Ih more lo It than the mere
fact that the home bun succeeded the
church ih a place for such affalra.
With the ehaiige the whole tone of the
function has changed, t lie bride Is no
l6ngcro elahorately gowned, tho deco
rations nre not ho extravagant, the
hrldesmaldH ami groomsmen nre not
ho numerous and the guest Hut Is cm
fentlnlly much reduced. The wedding
Ik still a pretty nlTalr. but It Is not
gorgeous nnd the effort h of the uiont
Imaginative society editor could not
ciiuuaii wkhuinos auk
make It so. One uisld of honor nnd
ouo bridesmaid nre tit most the ittteud
nnlH of the party nnd frequently the
muld of honor nlonu nrconipuulott the
bride, while the Rrooni Iiiih no attend
ant. Tho bride Is kwikmI simply yet
Willi nil tliu ndorniiieuls nwessury to
the proverbial brldo and the costume
of her innld l likewise simple.
In spite of all Its iippnreut simplicity,
thu home weddlm; Ih not u hiiihII utVnlr,
U0() or I0H jMH'Hts niv fretiueutly lu nt
lendniice and tin recetl(in which fob
lows Ih nlwiiyn lrcly ntlondcd. Take
It all In nil, Hu hoipe function Is no
less brlllliinf, tliouuli Iws nhowy, tlmii
that of the church nud even when It
Ik nunoiiuced as blmply n family affair
there Ih receptloiv iifterwnrd for
frlendH. There Is Hi HI the "Lohengrin"
weddlnK march nud the "Oh, Promise
Me," played wiflly lliroiiKh the service,
and there Is nlwnyH the bride, a hap
py and nltoKCthcr eharmltiK person,
who Is nfter all the center of Kotterul
Interest. And there Is.sllll a wedding
rliiK, nlthoiiKli thertf Is no pace In
white velvet to carry It on a cushion,
nnd there Is ntlll n bride's bouquet to
be thrown nt her glvl friends after the
ceremony. nlthouKh there Ih no Hinall

Home Wittlim N Metier of Two,
Take It alloethor. there aro a ureat
ninny people who will agree with the
society ma I ion that the home wedding
Is the better oT the two, hIIIioukIi It Is
noticeable that they are In every ease
the people who will bo utiests nt the,
affair wherever It Is held, Vet If there
tt to bo a ehaiiKe In the stylo of mar
riage, and It has undoubtedly Ihh-ii
deemed necessary, It la perhaps wisest
that tbo weddlnK should be celebrated
at home, "quietly," u the society col
li tuns say, and lu the old-fashioned
-way. Two cliureU. wtnldlug has held
sway for more ths,nten years sud.M

hare a whole family of daughters mar
ried In exactly tho same way. The
first could hnvo a pink wedding and
the second a blue one and so on to th
end, but as for any further Individual
ity It was simply Impossible. A brldo
could be a bride after Just so much
fuss and flurry and running to the
church and bock again. There was a
strict code for the arrangement of such
an affair and no one dared to depart
from It. Kor all these years society
has been a slave to this code and when
It did Anally rebel It was to the great
satisfaction nnd relief of numerous
brides-to-be.
Now that It Is not only proper but
properest to have one's wedding nt
home and to have It a simple, unpreten
tious affair, the ordeal Is no" longer so
trying. The preparation nnd celebra
tion of her wedding will not leave
the bride In a state of nervous collapse
and her entire family exhausted. The
Inst of the church weddings were eight
day wonders for splendor nnd no one
would have dared to outdo them. They
had worked themselves out of novel
ties as a mentis of display nnd It only
remained to repent the wonders that
had alrendy been accomplished. The
home wedding Is a kindly respite from
theso shows nnd a respite for which
both society nnd the newspaper read
lug public Is thankful. '
lllbles for tho Jlenthcn.
Over G.000.000 cooles of the lllblo
were told by the British nnd Foreign
Bible Society Inst year. This Is an In
cre.ue of l.OOO.WJO over the sales of the
year before, says a Loudon newspaper.
Sixty thousand "parts" of the testa
ments were printed nnd bound for tho
use of the troops In South Africa, But
for this number the sale of Bibles In
England has remained for two years nt
J.flOO.OOO copies. The missionaries are
responsible for the additional million In
the output. The heathen has more
lllbles than ever before. Most of the
books were printed In China and, In
Chinese characters. .Many wore print
ed In Illndostan. If the present rate of
lueronso Is kept up and ench Bible rep
resents a converted heathen, tho world

Ago of Hlg Trees.
Referring to the ngo of the big trees of
California, I'rof. C. K. Bessy records In
"Selence" that he once counted with
much care tho rings of growth of the
tree of which the stump constitutes tho
lloor of tho so-called dancing pavilion.
now out of datk.
This count was made from circumfer
ence to ceuter, nud every ring In nil that
distance was counted, no estimates or
KUcsses boliiK made. The result was
that 1.H7 rliiRs wero counted and ac
eordliik'ly It Is safe to say that this tree,
which was fully 24 or 23 feet In dia
meter, and considerably moro than 300
feet in height, acquired theso dlmen
mIoiis In eleven hundred nnd forty-seven
years. I'rof. Bessey doubts whether
nuy of the existing trees approach the
age of two thousand years.
How Mnuy.
JoucHhy and his wlfu took the family
tandem with them on their summer va

greatly refreshed by the outing,
"You uro not ns much tanned up as
I expected to see you, Jonesby," re
marked Browuson, meeting him tho
next day nfter his return. "Tell mo

"Well," he replied, lowering his voice,
"I have hired a boy to turn the front

shades, and lined handsomely that they

ater over handsome dresRes. There is
a fancy for ornamenting such coats with
stitching, or even embroidery, and some
handsome effects arc accomplished In ap
plique work. Two empire coats appear
In the accompanying picture. .Biscuit
broadcloth was the material of the one
beside the lnltinl picture. Its fronts were
ornamented with brown soutache, and the
white satlri of rercrs and collar were
embroidered in gilt. Light tan broad
cloth was the fabric of the shorter em
pire coat pictured, Embroidery and
stitching In white and white cloth folds
were Its trimmings.
A few wise women realize that there
Is nothing for real warmth like the enpe,
If It is only long enough and close enough..
So there nre current 'several varieties of

of every well-planned wardrobe. The

show their softues's', straight lines, tin;
broken draperies, sweeping sleeves, all
nre features of the evening gown. Dress
makers strive to make a general simplic

tion, ns by a great massing of Ullle In n
pompon nt the bust at one side, a scarf
sweeping therefrom, the color of the
tulle contrasting strongly with the gown.
A llamlng nrtlflclnl orchid may give dash
