a a a WEEK OF WEDDINGS INTERESTED SOCIETY Patterson-Higinbotham Ceremony a Brilliant Event. CLUB PLANS BAZAAR Elaborate Charity Ball Is Held at Irving Park. Receptions and Teas Plentiful--Busy Season in Prospect--Notes of Prominent People. One week's musings: I sat high-board fence. And watched the throngs gO by: The pageant was my recompenseI did not bat an eye.

But all the strange things that I saw March down from far and near Did give me qualms and gripes galore, And many feelings queer. I saw poor Billie take a braceDear little Donkey Boy! And send a tenner to the place That gave his Jo-Jo joy. I saw George Jenney getting wedThe while the lights did gleamThe stars shone brightly overhead. But did not dope my dream. And as upon the fence I sat I suffered such a painI saw Professor Hand's new hat Go passing in the rain.

For it was such a hellish hat. So slick and new and clearNot one bit like the old doormat That Johnny wore last year I saw great men le 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, rothall the men and cohorts maids failed were wise. prove 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 went his way, and seemed to be Most satisfied and the sure, world No matter what might see That time would still.

endure. So when the mob had ambled by On its affairs intent. I took' a look into the sky, Then home my steps I bent. For--so I mused--for countless years This mob will pass up stairs, Why should I give it smiles or tears? I have my own affairs. That's not exactly an unselfish thought for a bright Sunday morning, but it's one comAmon 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 1 me weird letters over the signature "North Side" would put some oil in her lamp. In that case she 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 he ever does is fending off the over-enthusiastic admirers who seek to treat him to the 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 had been seen in many a moon. It's safe to say that not a girl present but wished she might have just such a wedu.ng 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 atmosphere breathes money. There is the still, sweet hush of reverent emotion, the unutterable charm of a solemn and sacred occasion. The of 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 claims attention from everybody. When it is clinched, so to speak, by a high church rite It becomes doubly convincing. Certain it 15 that no handsomer or happier pair than young Mr.

Patterson and his bride ever walked into or out of Grace. That's enough, Rob. Another marriage of the week that attracted widespread attention was that of Miss Blanche Deuel Estabrook and Mr. Karl 3. Roebling of Trenton, N.

which was solemnized Thursday afternoon at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dodge Estabrook, 524 Dearborn avenue, the Rev. J. Dempster Davidson of the Episcopalchurch at Edgewater, a personal friend of the Estabrook family, officiating.

Estabrook, the bride's mother, looked regal in a gown of gray, trimmed in lace and narrow bands of chinchilla, with ornaments of diamonds and opals. The wedding gifts included many valuable sets of silver and jewels. One of the most beautiful rings which the bride received was from General Thomas T. Eckert, the late president of the Western Union Telegraph company. The music was furnished by Mr.

Spry at the organ, and a sextet from the Thomas orchestra. A dinner for- the bridal party and visiting friends numbering forty followed the reception. Mr. and Mrs. Roebling were deluged with telegrams from their absent friends in all parts of the world.

At home on first days. FORMS OF SALUTATION. Greetings the Modern Olden Days. It has often been pointed out, somewhat fancifully perhaps, that the modes of greeting.

current in different countries are sometimes nationally or racially characteristle. The Spaniard or the Italian says, "How do you stand?" which may be referred either to stateliness or laziness. The Frenchman, careful of deportment, asks "How do you carry yourself?" The Dutchman, fond of the table, salutes you with "May you eat a hearty dinner!" while the Englishman, the man of action, says "'How do you do More markedly characteristic are some of the equivalent phrases used among non-European peoples. The peasant of southern China, for instance, asks tenderly "Have you eaten your rice? and at Cairo they Inquire sympathetically "How do you sweat?" Our English "How do you do?" is a direct translation of the medieval French form of greeting, le faltes-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 emphatically 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 00 the continent; but for centuries England was the land of kisses.

PEACOCK, Jeweler and importer of PRECIOUS STONES, Establisbed STATE AND ADAMS STREETS a woman, whether it was for the first or the hundredth time, he kissed her. Chauser alJudes to the custom as existing in his day. In the "'Sompnour's Tale," the Frere, when the mistress of the house enters the room where he and her husband are sitting together- Ariseth up ful curtislv, And hire embraceth in his arms And kisseth hire swete, and chirketh as a sparwe With his lippes. Two hundred years later, Erasmus, in one of his graphic letters from England, wrote very appreciatively of the custom, says the London Globe. "It you go to any place," he tells his correspondent with reference to English ladies, "you are received with a kiss by all; if you depart on journey you are dismissed with a kiss; you return, kisses are exchanged.

They come to visit you, a kiss the fret thing; they leave you, you kiss them all around. Do they meet you anywhere, kisses In abundance." tI was no wonder that Erasmus told his friend that if he had once had experience of the custom- "on my honor you would wish not to reside here for ten years only, but for life." Our modern "How do you do is found too long by many hurried speakers, and gets abbreviated into "How do do?" and the like absurdities. Other variants are such phrases as "How are you?" and "'How goes The latter is a liberal equivalent of the German form of "How do you do?" and also of the common French salutation "Comment ca vatil." In some rural parts of England "How goes it?" is shortened into "How goa?" Another salutation phrase which is now regarded as colloquial, if not vulgar, but was formerly in respectable literary use, is "What cheer?" "Heere Master; what cheere?" cries the boatswain in the opening scene of "'The Tempest;" and the greeting was in use a century and a half before Shakespeare's day. Colloquial phrases are continually undergoing change and modification, and so "'How do you do?" itself may some day be regarded as hopelessly vulgar, while some other form of salutation is frequent in the mouths of those who respect both themselves and the language..
