I Between the day of the public an- I nouncement of their engagement and A their wedding day neither the man nor the girf dare to call their souls I their own. A They name a day for their mar M riage Then half their friends and I relatives take It upon themselves to I take everything else connected with J the affair out of their hands J In the beginning the idea of the er Q gaged couple may bo to go Into 4 church one morning about 11 and get married as qulfkly and au unobtrn sively as possible. Directly their plans get noised abroad, however, they are heavily 'quashed" and they are literally bullied bul-lied into agreeing to do all sorts of things that neither of them wants to do but which apparently must be done First of all, the hour they had thought of is all wrong. "Why do they want to have a sort of secret marriage' Are they ashamed of getting get-ting married?" ask the interferers "Nobody" got married In the morning morn-ing nowadays, they are told It isn't fashionable. And, of course, a re reptlon must follow the ceremony "Mr and Mrs. and Miss So and So" and "What's his name" and "You know her" must be Invited to the reception re-ception or there will be unpleasant ness.

"What, no cake!" chime the buss-body buss-body friends and relations "Good gra-( gra-( ious! We never heard of such barbarism bar-barism Of course, you must have a cake!" And so. at considerable cost, there has to be a cake a ridiculous, indigestible indi-gestible mass that no one wants Iji the least, but which must be provided provi-ded because "every one has one" and "it would look so mean not to " These are but a few of the pr? marriage penalties that cloud the domestic horizon of engaged couples Why can I engaged couples arrange their own weddings as they want them themselves? NOTES AND NOTIONS Black Beads Replace Strings of Whit.; Coral. Who starts bead fashions? Last season sea-son strings of white coral, or Imitfl tion white coral, were the rage. These strings of milk white beads were most effective against dark bodices and they utterly banished for a season the shorter neck encircling strings of pearl beads v. hich had erstw hile been fashionable. Now the mode Is black i beads and one wonders where all the I white beads have gone to no one a wearing them at least, for every femi nine bodice that knowledges itself up to date Is decorated with a long loop of black jt. These black Jet beads are ery effecthc against the bright colored biouses of the mom at THE SEWING CASE. One of the most useful presents is the sewing roll, and it is also a pres ent that meets with general approval. Even men appreciate the convenience of having needles and cottons handy Cut some thin leather cloth into a strip six inches in width and 12 long, and line it with flowered silk in the same proportion. Bind the two together to-gether with silk. Make two circles of cardboard two inches in diameter, and cover them with leather and silk. Sew the strips around them to make a pocket for reels On the long flap sew notched leaves of flannel for the needles and beyond it stitch, into compartments half Inch wide ribbon to hold scissors, a bodkin, a thimble and a stiletto Fasten lengths of ribbon to the end I for tying t ho case up when rolled The sewing roll makes a compact little lit-tle bundle w hen tied up and it tan be easily carried about. oo |
