WEEK OF WEDDINGS INTERESTED SOCIETY Patterson-Higinbotham Ceremony a Brilliant Event. CLUB PLANS BAZAAR Elaborate Charity -Ball Is Held at Irving Park. Reeewttoaa sad Tea IMeatlfal Bway la Protect Xates of Proaalaeat Peapte. One week's musings: ut upon a Ma-h-board trite. And watched the throngs iro by: The ptmM wai my recompense .1 did not bat an eye.

But all tbe strange things that I saw March down from far and near Did give me qualms and gripes galore. And many feelings outer. I saw poor Bill la take a brace Dear little Donkey Boy! And send a tenner to the place That gave his Jo-Ja Joy. saw George Jennev getting wtd Ton while the lights did gleam Tbe stars shone brightly overhead. But did not dope my dream.

And as upon the fence I sat I suffered such a pain I saw Professor Hand's new hat Go passing In the rain. For It was such a hellish hat. So slick and new and clear -Not one bit like tbe old doormat That Johnny wore last year I saw great men a-squbble all. And lawyers taking fee. And matrons, smartly gowned and tall.

Sedately pouring tea. I watched the great procession move. And mildly veiled my eyes. For all the cohorts faihd to prove That men and maids were wise. For in my seat upon the fence.

The while the hordes went past. I failed to witness any sense Displayed by them at last. Each w. nt his way. and seemed to be Most satisfied and sure.

matter what the world might see That time would still endure. v. So when the mob had ambled by On Us affairs Intent. I took a look into the tky. Then home my steps I bent.

For bo 1 mused for countless years This mob will pass up stairs. AVhy should I give it smiles or tears? 1 have my own affairs. That's not exactly an unselfish thought for a bright Sunday morning, but It's one com-smon to a good many of us. And the top of the column doesn't look as it should without a bit of verse in It. Eh? I 'wish the foolish virgin who writes me weird letters over the signature "North Side" would put some oil in her lamp.

In that case ehe might light herself over to the river and fall in. Note from the Wellington: "Mr. and Mrs Albert S. Gage are taking a vacation of two weeks in New York and Boston." What the valiant Colonel Albert has done to deserve a "vacation" at this time of year he does not say. The hardest work be ever does Is fending off tbe over-enthuslastie admirers who seek to treat him to tbe point of suffocation.

Still, if his system needs a vacation. I hope he's enjoying it. The event of the week was, of course, the Patterson-Higinbotham wedding. It Is a long time since Grace church has contained so brilliant and blue-blooded an assemblage. Accustomed as one is to elaborate bridal ceremonials.

It is not often that one sees massed together in one church enough beauty to shake Olympus and enough wealth to cash all Bobby Burke's uncertified checks. The program was carried out admirably, and the opinion was general that nothing prettier or more imposing bad been seen in many a moon. It's safe to say that not a girl present it wished she might have Just such a when her time shall come. After all. it is a very nice experience to go to a wedidng like that.

The rector is so devout and the atmosphere breathes money. There Is the still, sweet hush of reverent emotion, the unutterable charm of a solemn and sacred occasion. The welding of the scions two really great families into one, with the commingling of vast estates to add to the prestige of both, is a serious, not-to say stupendous, event, and one that claim attentlcjji from everybody. When it is clincheu, so to speak, by a high church rite It becomes doubly convincing. Certain it is that no handsomer or happier pair than young Mr.

Patterson and his bride ever 'walked into or out of Grace. That's enough. Bob. Another marriage of tbe week that attracted widespread attention was that of Miss Blanche Deuel Estabrook and Mr. Karl J.

Roebling of Trenton, N. which was solemnised Thursday afternoon at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dodge Estabrook. 624 Dearborn avenue, the Rev.

The Frenchman, careful of deportment, asks "How do you carry yourself Tha Dutchman, fond of the tsble.

salutes you with "May yon est a hearty din ner! while the Englishman, the man of ac tion, says "How do you doT Mere markedly characteristic are some of the equivslent phrases used among aon-European peoples. The peasant of southern China, for Instance, asks tenderly "Have you eaten your rlceT" and at Cairo they Inquire sympathetically "How do you sweatT" Our English "How do you do?" Is a direct translation of the medieval French form of greeting, "Comment le fattes-ves?" and seems to have come Into common use toward the end of the seventeenth century. Curiously enough Its general acceptance appears to have coincided with the dying out of the old mode of greeting ladies, which was emphat ically known as saluting, and which seems to modern Ideas so extraordinarily familiar and Intimate that Is, by kissing. Englishmen are sometimes Inclined to regard with rather a superior air the more effusive methods of salutation, especially. between men, common oa the continent: but for centuries England was the land of kisses.
