"Rain isn't so bad when a feast I'lce this comes afterwards," re marked the littlest robin. And so the three birds strolled up and down the lawn, eating and visiting gaily fbctween times. At the end of an hour the sun shone clearer than ever and the robins, their Lunger satisfied, felt ready for fun.

N. J. The ceremony ol crossed swords, with the officers in full dress uniform as best man and ushers, was used. "Decidedly the most attractive ar rangement for the nuptials was having the ceremony performed at the per gola in the garden of old-fashioned flowers which flanked the east ground near the low, rambling house. Half an hour before the hour appointed it began to rain, but this did not inter fere with the plans, and the bridal party and the immediate relatives stood unsheltered from the rain dur ing the ceremony, which was per formed by Rev. Herbert Shipman, rec tor of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, assisted by Rev. F. T. Swezey. But it was a very gentle rain, more like a heavy, drizzling mist from the sea, which can be seen from the es tate when the weather is clear, and it fell like a benediction on the bride and her attendants, whose gowns matched the great masses of sweet peas which they held in their arms. The orches tra played under a spreading apple tree, laden with fruit, where many of. the guests were assembled. Others looked on from the broad piazzas. "When the Lohengrin wedding march was played the bridal party walked from the north wing of the house, down the garden path, which w-as spread with rugs, and made into an aisle bordered with flowers and white satin ribbon, attached to gilt standards, to the entrance of the white pergola from the roof of which w-as suspended a wedding bell formed of asters. The officiating clergymen stood in the pergola, and the couple knelt on white satin cushions on the entrance steps. "The bride, who walked with her father, wore a gown of heavy white satin draped with rose point lace, caught up with clusters of orange blossoms, and a court train. Her veil of tulle fell in graceful folds to the end of her train, and was held about the head by a chaplet of orange blossoms. She carried a large bouquet of lilies of the valley. "Miss Margaret Payne Luce was maid of honor. She wore a frock of lavender and pink, and her hat and frock were trimmed with sweet peas. The bridesmaids included the Misses Genevieve Champ Clark, daughter of Speaker and Mrs. Clark; Grace Leslie Johnston, Cecilia Brewster, and Jes sica Alward. They were in frocks of pink taffeta, with the pannier effect and cream lace, and wore hats gar landed with sweet peas. "The best man and ushers were in full dress uniform, and the gold and blue harmonized with the pastel shades of the bridal attendants and the reds and yellows of the flower gar den.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I wrote you, for advice some time ago and. I wish to thank you for It, as it did me so much good. 1 am a married woman, 40 years old. My husband is ten years older than I. Before I got your an swer we had a quarrel and I went to fhe came to see me. He had the paper your answer was in. Some of our friends were there, though they did not know we had quarreled. He threw the naner on the table and raid: "1 will admit that I have done some things of that kind, but if God will give me a chance I will right them all." So we went home together. We bought a little house. The man who sold it to us liked my husband and gave us a start. He bought a team of horses and a wagon and turned them over to my husband, and gives us all his work to do and also gets other work for him. After I came back I was taken sick. My husband was good to me this time, Mrs. Thompson, lie does not drink and is a good husband now. He got me a carpet and many other things that I expected him to get. I put in a nice garden and have chickens and can go to my uother's and all the places I can :.tand to go, but I have never neglected my home, for I love it. I have got my house all clean and new curtains up, and it looks really cozy now. I have worked nara ana done it all myself, and now I can sit down and read in a clean house. And I am to become a mother for the first time in joy life! I am so happy. I am not very well, but I work a little while around the house, then I go and sew a while. I have madefor baby two sets, all by hand. I love to do it. I just cannot keep my hands still, I am so happy. The whole world looks bright to me. Y'ou said if I loved this man I would stick to him. I do love him. I always did love him, or I would not have taken his name. Of course I was discouraged by the way he act- j ed. and then my condition, which I didn't know at tho time, made me blue and down-hearted. I did not know until I came home. Philip Mathews, TJ. S. A.; Lieutenant Robert Goodrich, U. S. A. and Ensign Lawrence Townsend, Jr., TJ. S. N. "When Lieutenant Thompson and his bride, after the ceremony, turned to leave the pergola the four ushers unsheathed their swords, raised and crossed them, and the newly married couple passed under them, down the garden path of flowers, around the north wing of the house, to the draw ing room, where they received the con gratulations of their relatives and friends. Mrs. Harvey, the bride's mother, who assisted in receiving, was in -blue nattier with white lace, and Mrs. Thompson, the bridegroom s mother, was in white crepe trimmed with white moire.
