Their lives have been interwined with threads of silver and gold, with colors that have cast both shadows and brightness on to the canvas which now comprises a beautiful picture of a half century of married bliss. Mrs. Pack is a pleasantfaced woman who might well pass for at least TO years younger and when interviewed she saidi "While these 3o years have not been free from sorrow, yet they have been happy and I would enjoy living them over again if such a thing were possible." She said marriage is not a failure. Much of the domestic trouble and unhappiness so prevalent today is due to the love of high living. Both men and women are to blame for the present conditions.

Men are loath to giving up the expensive habits of single life, while women are too fond of dress and other luxuries. She further sakl that they have always practiced the closest economy, their husbands, who were coal diggers, not earning one-half what men are making today, and with this small income they have accumulated enough to have the comforts so necessary to old age. Another strange feature about the life of these families is the existing harmony. and my favorite chocolate are rorcea unon M'ss Wir.l'rea Emery speaks for meat. I "Next to meat." she writes.

and Joseph and Marie, children of Mrs. Ruffing. There are two great grandchildren, John and Marie, Heilman. There are many unusual features connected with these marriages. John Pack and Andrew Pack are twin brothers.

The Christian names of each of the three brides is Elizabeth, and all are related. Mrs. Andrew Pack was a niece of Mrs. John Pack before marriage, and Mrs. Matthew Stein was a cousin of Mrs.

Andrew Pack before marriage. All came from the same town in Germany. Mr. Stein and the tTO brothers. Andrew and John Pack, all followed the same occupation ani have been neighbors all their lives.

All attended the same churches and owned adjoining properties. On June 4. 14S. the sailing vessel Au; rora landed in New York after a So days voyage from a port in Germany. Among the" passengers were John and Andrew Pack, Miss Elizabeth Frisch, her cousin.

Mips Elizabeth Spaniol. and Elizabeth Hitzler. In 1S41 Mr. Stein came to this country and all came to Pittsburg and later settled in Mt. Oliver.

They had been neighbors in Germany and lived on adjacent farms there. In 1s." Peter Pack, father of the brothers, built the frame house in Ormsbv avenue, where the celebration will be held. To this day the old building is pointed out as the Pack homestead. The friendship that existed between the house filled withl a jolly crowd otl shaded blue silk. This was tied In two bows chance.

In the afternoon we play golf or go out driving in one of those comfortable traps which hold only two. The evenings are long. We have music, and occasionally we dance, when the spirit mcves us, but often there will come a lull in the conversation. Then the hostess looks at us girls, and we, know we are epxected to do some "stunt." It's easy enough to sing or do fancy steps or anything of that sort, but when it comes to telling conundrums or funny stories I have to give it up. I know plenty of them, but when the occasion arises rny mind is a perfect blank.

Grace Etherington isn't that way at all. She's a genius. She has a joke to fill up every silence, and everything she hears reminds her of a story. People think she is, so bright and" I am puzzled myself to know' how she did it until one day I came across a book which she had dropped. Would you beljeve it? It was a new collection of conundrums and jokes! Grace had neatly marked off those she had used, and she had the rest divided into sections One for every day of her -visit.

Of course I went right' to work and learned bv heart all these she had marked off for that evening, and then I sprang them all before she had a barm less French gown, but somenow it man i iook as if it belonged to her. Yet the dress itself wasn't unbecoming: it was simply that she had adiusted it carelessly and that she held herself badly. Haven't you ever noticed girls who looked as if their clothes had just been thrown on them? And thev were girls who had handsome things too. There's a great art in putting on one's clothes. They understand abroad, and a grande dame who is quite a leader of fashion once told me that she never wore a new costume without testing the effect of it before the eheval glass in her boudoir.

She would practice holding her train, walking and sitting until she had mastered all the peculiarities of that particular dress and knew exactly what effect she would produce when she wore it on the boulevard. Another thing that I noticed at the same dance was the variety of ways in which the girls wore their sashes. To begin with, there were several Roman sashes I suppose you know they are all the style amain and these had no loops, but were simply knotted loosely, with long ends, the round knot be taste It to uq ur I I properlM made.

who married Andrew and Miss Elizabeth Spaniol. who married Matthew. The combined ages of the old counles are 440 years. They will be attended at the church by their children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, and by some few of those who attended their weddings 50 years ago. Tomorrow's ceremonies will have much of interest.

It will assuredly bring up tender memories of the weddings long ago. That triple wedding SO years ago was a very important, event in the little community. There were no carriages at that wedding. The happy young couples walked over a mile to the church and were followed by their friends and neighbors. The memory of that walk still lingers with them; they hear the chimes ring, and they hear the solemn words of the mass; they say again the solemn words that united them in wedlock, for better -or for worse until death do part them.

NOT ODDS AND ENDS, BUT THE SEASON'S NEWEST MERCHANDISE I QUANTITY AND VARIETY. THE RARE COMBINATION OF HIGH QUALITIES AND LOW PRICESTHE FEATURE OF THIS SALE. THE SECOND WEEK OF THE GREAT young people in Germany soon ripened into love, and it was arranged to hold the weddings at the same hour. Mt. Oliver was then a hamlet of only a few hundred inhabitants.

Its buildings consisted of a tavern, a blacksmith shop, and a few houses. It was a quiet place oft-times nothing being heard outside of the rumbling sound of the old Brownsville stagecoach lhat then made daily trips to and from Pittsburg, the echoes of which could be heard long after it had disappeared from sight. The nearest church of the Catholic denomination was the old St. Michael's, whose gothic spire still rises in Pius street. It was in this church t.

at Rev. Father Hartman performed the triple marriage ceremony, and as the people were not so different then from what they are now, and the event being as rare then as it wculd be now, there were hundreds attracted to the church who came from miles around to' witness the triple marriage. While many came by invitation, there were also a large number among the spectators who came just because of curiosity and because of the uniqueness cf the event. Of the large number of guests only a few survive. Many of the voting men who attended the mass on that eventful morning.

10 years later answered the country's call and enlisted in the union army, where they gave up their lives on the southern battlefield in defense of their country; others moved away, and many have since died, while ihe "three pair who stood together before the altar on that eventful morning where thev promised to love, honor and cherish each other until death parts, ar? still found among the living, hale and hearty. The three brides and bridegrooms of a half century all have passed their threescore and ten years, and the combined ages of th-3 three couples is 440 years. Thev are all in perfect health, the women still 'attending to their, household duties. Last spring, while gathering cherries. Mrs.

Stein had the misfortune to fall from a cherry tree, but she soon fully recovered from the effects of the fall and again engaged in her regular work, including the care of a vegetable garden, of which they are the owners. A gay party was seen walking along across the ocean. At the morning mass tomorrow, which is the same date. September 10, the three aged bridegrooms will again stand together before the alter to renew the vows in their youth, ihis time, however, surrounded bv the children, grandchildren and great" grandchildren of the three families, also the surviving witnesses of the iirst wedding will he present at the triple marriaee ceremony, which will be performed by Rev. Father H.

J. Goebel, rector of St. Joseph's church. Three large families have been the outcome of these marriages and the celebration will be attended by all the decendants. In the family of Mr.

The responses to our announcements of the past week were the greatest compliment that could be paid to any business house. We thank our friends the general public for this expression of confidence.

Exaggeration and misrepresentation have never been a part of our store news facts truth have ever been sufficient, and will maintain throughout this great sacrifice of our entire stocks. All the children and grandchildren who are married live close together, having one large yard and are never known to quarrel with each other. Much of the work of the households, such as washing and ironing, is done together, the washes often being large enough to supply a small laundry, as they all have families of no small size. The three old coun'es are owners of nice and comfortable homes, where they hope to spend their remaining days in peace and happiness. They are all members of St.

Joseph's Roman Catholic church, where the marriage ceremony will be performed. Mr. Andrew Pack, a son of John Pack, is the president of the church board, and he is also a member of the public school board of Mt. Oliver. Fifty years ago the two brides, Mrs.

Andrew and Mrs. John Pack, wore changeable blue gowns, blue silk shawls and white bonnets, while Mrs. Stein wore a silk shawl, black dress and white bonnet. At this wedding they will all wear black gowns. uriMuiu.
