.esMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
or THEM.
It can hardly be said that weddings
are peculiar to any one period of the
year, but if there is a particular time
when nature herself is in- accordance
arith- rejoicings and festivities it is the
month of June.
It certainly is the time" when guests
can. do highest honor to the occasion by
gala attire; it is only during rose-color.-
all days. of early youth that a wedding
is surrounded with a halo of romance;
Mosewhohave opened the world’s
oyster and. found “life as 'a twice-told
sale” it spells clothes with a capital C.
Times was when wedding attire was
hédged around with rules and regula-
' umsgnow the code is relaxed. Former-
i'ygblack was tabooed, whereas now it is
worn, and worn often, too,€ at the smart-
'It wasr-Lconsidered
unlucky, as much as a- bird of ill omen
as Edgar Poe’ s croakingI ravens.
But though nowadays it is a case of
“please yOurself, ” wear a tailor-made
costaRdJskirt if "you like (not that you
unli'l’ook nice, by any means,) still, if
you will be convena‘ole, your wedding
garments must be sumptuous."
Fashi'On has niade but little altersn
uion in the costume of the bride; that
as, wherever possible, she wears white
MRI or white poplin and orange
flowers.

cannot afiord real lace, for the fichu

A}. fitw. brides have discarded the"
fsargeshower bouquet in vaOr of a few
sways of’flbwers loosely tied together;
occasionally " these are‘ abolished to
make way for a handsome prayer-book.
The bridesmaids should be all in
white, I think, with or Without a note
of color.
But it is essential where a color is
"worn. that each bridesmaid should
adopt it; a patchy effect arrived at
when one wears one color and another
another is deplorable. The style, too,
should be as uniform as possible, and
sherefore whatever mode is fixed upon
itshould be one that will be becoming
10 all.

Stamford Road Race.
A verysuccessful loem-ile road race
F3313» pulled oif yesterday afternoon by
"lhe Stamford Wheel club in which
there were 46 starters. The winner of
both the first prize and time prize was
Stephen Ezequelle, of New Canaan,
who made the distance in 2'1 min. 46 sec.
.1. H. Clark, of New Canaan, was second
.‘17 .48, and R. M.Alexander, of Hartford,
third, 27: 50.
Clarence Cram and]- -Fred Many, of
N01 walk, would have undoubtedly car-
ried off the honors but for an unfortu-
sate. puncture and fall on the last lap.
As it was, however, Clarence captured
fifth prize and Fred tenth.

WAR LOAN A GREAT success.
Believed That All the I200,000,000 Will
Be Taken Up by Small Subscribers.
Vlashington, June 24.-—'1‘he new war
loan is a popular one, despite Secretary
Gage’s prophecy to the contrary. With-
in a. week the people have sent 'to the
treasury bids for $157,000,000 of the
$500 bonds and less. These are in ad-
dition‘lto the cash subscriptions made
at the offices of the treasury here and
swb-treasurles at various cities all
over the country, estimated to be at
least $10,000,000. Not all these will be
allotted to the subscribers, however,
for in some cases it is evident that the
applications are made in the names of
employes or fictitious persons in order
to overcome rthe announced policy of
the department to supply first the sub-
scribers to the 820 bonds and thence
upward through the list to the sub-
scribers for thousands.
One batch of 100 subscriptions, each
for 3500, came from a single address
in New York city. That will be treat-
ed as a single subscription of $50,000.11:
is the opinion of the treasury officers
that every dollar of the 8200, 000, 000 in-
cluded within the first call will be ab-
sorbed by the subscriptions Iin sums of
$500 and less.

_ PROTECTORATE OVER LIBERIA._

Movement on Foot to ano the United
States Establish Ono.
Washington, June 24. -—Bishop J. C.
Hartzell. the I representative of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Africa.
has had several conferences of late
with Secretary Day and other officials
here relative to the desirability of hav-
ing the United States co- operate with
Great Britain in a. protectorate over
the Republic of Li-uberia
It is understood that Bishop Hartzell
also has presented the matter to the
British ambassador here. For the pres-
ent, however, the attention of the ofll-
cials is so absorbed in questions relat-
ing to the war that there is no desire
to take up a. matter of this importance.
It is said that a. political representative
of the Liberian republic, probably the
secretary. of state, will arriVe in this
country before long to supplement the
information Bishop Hartzell has prc~
sented. _ I. , :i a“

The Baker-Howard Feud.
Manchester,.Ky., June 24.—The Ba-
ker-Howard fued trials will not take
place for several weeks. The Bakers
are still in Barbourville jail, andJim
Howard is in jail at London. The au-
th-Orities think it best to allow the feel-
ing to cool down before beginning the
trials. The Bakers will be tried in
Knox county and the Howards in Lau-
rel. thus getting the cases as far away
from Clay county influence as possi-
ble.

ly lighted by it. A search is now be-
ing made for it.

ury amounted to $165,696,416, an increase

day. The increase is said to be due to
deposits made for the purchase of the
new war bonds.
