HW BEAUTIFUL, springtide wed
ding of Miss Welles to Mr. Paul
M. Belln. Is still the topic o
umy pleasant comments. No
Voting ludy of her circle has en
joyed more undisputed sway of belte
dom than has the bride. None would
be more missed from her girlhood'
home and thus It la a source of con
gratulation on all sides that she Is to
remain aniontr those who are so de
voted to her, und that theso two
families among the loading ones In
Scranton society nre thus united, more
closely oven than by a life-long f lend
ship. Mr. Bclln Is the eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. Uenry Belln, jr., and Is
a great favorite In a large circle. His
connection with the Scrnnton Lace
company and other organizations.keeps
him In close touch with some of the
great business interests of the country.
The marriage day, last Saturday,
was perfection. The- scene about the
Second Presbyterian church was excep
tionally attractive as the homes of
both brlilo and groom were so near that
after the ceremony most of the tf jests
walked over to the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. C. II. Welles, the lovely
spring gowns, the flowers and the sun
shine giving a most picturesque effect.
The bildal par'y was very large, and
the gowns were of marked beuuy.
The bride wore white satin, exquisitely
out trimmed with orange blossoms and
duchesse lace. She carried lilies of tho
valley. Her veil was held by a coro
net of orange blossoms, and she wore
It off her face. She made a particu
larly beautiful bride with her lovely
color and fine eyes.
Btflss Bclln, the maid of honor, wore
pmk moussellne de sole over pink
silk, and a pink tullo pompadour hat.
The bridesmaids were in filmy white
dotted moussellne over pink and white
silk. Their hats were of white tulle, and
all carried pink carnations. The pro
cession was remarkably beautiful. The
bridesmaids were: Miss McCormlck,
Harrisburg; Miss Holmes, Pough
'keepsle: Miss Wilder, Rochester; Miss
Olive Fisiher. Easton; Miss Hunt, Miss
Boles and the Misses Archbald, of this
city. Mr. C. A. Belln was best man.
The ushers were: Messrs. James
Terry. Hartford.Conn.; Harvey Thayer.
Buffalo; Morris Sherrerd, Newark, N.
J.; August Huntington, Plalnfleld, N.
J.; LaMotte Belln, C. II. Welles, Jr..
T.awrence Fuller and Worthlngton
Scranton, of Scrajlfon.
The ceremony wajflfperformed by Rev.
Dr. C. E. Robinson, assisted by Rev.
Harris Ely Aflrlance, of New York.
The church was elaborately decorat
ed with palms, Easter lilies and smllax.
Professor J. M. Chance rendered the
wedding music with excellent taste.
The handsome residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles H. Welles, on Vine street,
was richly decorated. Quantities of
loses, ferns and gloxinias appearing on
all sides. An annex had been erected
for the occasion and the rooms were
thronged with guests who attended
the breakfast, which was served by
Holland, of Philadelphia. Many friends
from New York, Philadelphia, Wil
.Uilngton und other cities were present.
Mrs. Welles wore a charming gown of
gray crepe de chine, trimmed with
Venetian point and pink velvet. Mrs.
Henry Belln, Jr., wore pale violet sill;
and black lace. The table set for the
bridal party was very artistic In Its
decorations of President Carnot rose.
Bauer's orchestra played during the
breakfast.
The rooms given up to the bridal
gifts were crowded with a rare collec
tion of costly aud beautiful articles.
Among these was a handsome clock,
presented by the employes of the
Scranton Lace company.
The bride's gifts to the bridesmaids
wore circlets of pearls In pins for the
hair. The groom gave his ushers pearl
scarf pins. Upon their return from an
extended Journey. Mr. and Mrs. Bclln
will reside on Jefferson avenue.
The "Rummage" sale Is the chief
subject of Interest among the young
ladles of the First Presbyterian church
and their friends. They were about
the weariest girls last night who could
be found In the city. Yesterday was a
very busy day, although the receipts
were not as large as on Thursday, for
the reason that many of the best ar
ticles had been picked out. Reinforce
ments of quantities of goods were re
ceived all day, however, and the In
terest continued. One individual ap
peared with a box which he said was
for the "Garbage sale," and thus the
supplies were kept up by kind friends.
The colored population was very well
represented among the buyers. Some
sat calmly down on the floor, removed
their shoes and tried on the ones on
tho bargain counter until a fit was as
sured. Shoes sell well if they have
good soles, and the experience of some
of tho fair saleswomen would make
great copy for the comic papers. There
are sonic unique samples of footgear
on that table. For Instance, there Is
the little pair of red, high heeled shoes,
dainty and fascinating In their beauty.
They have been worn by a society
belle a lovely young matron whose
tiny feet nre marveled at by her
friends. The little shoes are number
twos, nnd they do look absurdly smalt.
A largo and expansive visitor, looking
for bargains, remarked contemptuous
ly yesterday, "You needn't tell me that
any full-grown woman could wear
them slippers, for she couldn't!" And
she sniffed a sniff of haughty scorn.
A collection of little evening sllpp-rrs,
sent by one member of the Young
Ladles' society, seem most characteris
tic of their owner's dainty self. They
are palest pink and blue or white, and
there is one pair of soft Swede In gray,
with gray nppllnued stripes. A certain
small, dark-skinned maid was to have
worn these fairy slippers to a church
entertainment, where she was to hava
performed last night on the platform.
Her mother had negotiated for their
purchase, and they were laid aside for
her coming. But yesterday morning
she came sorrowfully, the tears almost
running over upon her black cheeks,
as she explained that the little girl was
very 111 and could not possibly go to
the church, so sho could not buy the
shoes. Several times she brought
friends In during the day to show them
the shoes that Eliza would have ap
peared In.
There was a case of Cinderella, In
which several colored gentlemen fig
ured, yesterday morning, or, rather, It
was a case of the naughty step-sister.
Some man had contributed a pair of
patent leather shoes, almost new, with
the sharpest Imaginable toes. Those
toes appealed strongly to the group of
colored customers. One by one they
tried them on, but could not Insert
their sturdv feet Into those fabulously
pointed toes. Finally, they went off
lamenting their fate and their feet.
Soon a white man. with remarkable
slender feet, entered, and soon lie dis
appeared, triumphantly bearinc the
pointed patent leathers. In a short
time the colored party appeared with
nn accession In the shape of a little
man with small feet. He knew he
could wear the coveted ihoes, and he,
as well as his friends, almost wept
when they found those beautiful cake
walk shoes had been sold. There Is a
standing order for pointed patent
leathers. Swells of a decade ago are
respectfully requested to take notice.
One of the greatest difficulties ex
perienced by the young ladles Is at
the shirt counter. The1 shirts contrib
uted are usually those made to order,
and are exceptionally good ones. They
sell for 25 cents each, but not one Is
marked with a number and conse
quently the saleswomen have to go
armed with a tape measure to get
the dimensions of the 'collar bands
required. By long and doleful experi
ence they are now prepared to state
that the average society man In Scran
ton wears a Ufe collar, and the buyers
I at the Rummage sale desire almost
hundted of the best scats are ressrved
for Scranton people. Tho special train
will leave at 7, and the excursionists
will disembark at Hazel street, return
ing at 10.30. Tickets for tho round
trip am 60 cents. It Is n great oppor
tunity to hear u marvelous singer and
almost equally famous nrslstants at
a low rate. People Journey hundreds
of miles and pny five dollars a ticket
to hear her sing, nnd It Is apparent
that Scranton people appreciate tho
present pilvllcge.
Miss Mary T. Manncsfl gave a charm

of Mrs. H. C. Swentzcl, of Brooklyn,
N. Y. Mrs. E. N. Wlllard and Mrs. A.

Tho marriage of Miss Helqn Mcrii
man to air. Francis Lynch was the
brilliant event of the present week.
The wedding In St. Peter's ' cathedral
was a beautiful picture. The recep
tion at tho home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Friend Merrlman, on
Elm street, Dunmore, was delightful
In every respect. The young people

: HER POINT OF VIEW f
W
"57 K WHO are familiar only with
the type of minister's wife seen
In the city are not prepared to
recognise those found In the rural dis
tricts. We see the giaceful.elegant lady
with her pretty hats, her dainty gloves
and correct govns. We see her placid,
gentle face, her Warefully at ranged
hair, and In a sense we unconsciously
realign that she does us credit, just
as the minister, the choir, the organ
thinks of crltl.l.-lng her attitude on
any question. What a contrast there
is ln tho case of her country sister
the one. for Instance, who must be
the main factor In making $319.70 take
cnte of the entire family for a year.
Now this Is quite a problem, par
ticularly when there arc children to
b" educated ns bents the "children of
a clergyman. It is she who musti
manage all things. Thr' minister
doesn't have the hardest time of It
by any means. He Is always certain
of it long black coat of resp-ctable
decency and a white tie which, even
If h' doer fasten It with a hook at
the b.tclt of his collar, is reasonably
Immaculate. Ills hat may not be nil
that it society man would consider
imperative, but It does pretty well,
and if ls shoes happen to be congress
gaiters or perhaps even the boots of
a past generation, they do not dis
grace his calling.
i
Hut it is the little wife who must
contrive and plan and make her last
year's coat do for this sasou until
the memory of man goelh not back to
the tirst year of Its existence. If she
Is a. Methodist minister's wife, she
recognizes a certain compensation In
her peripatetic career in thut she Is
sure to move i very two or three years
among new people who are unac
quainted with that coot nnd to whom
the latest turning of little Annie's
frock does not call up recollections of
a garment which, under various
guises, has pased in succession down
u line of ancestty from a groat aunt
through the whole family to the baby
of the Heck.
Then ther Is a reasonable certainty
that the now parsonage Into which
sho lilts mny have some furniture of
Us own which she lacks. This, In
Itself, Is 11 harmless sort of excite
ment In anticipation nnd appeals to a
woman Just as a s"Cond-hund shop,
where antique furniture may be picked
up, or an auction sale appeals to her
feminine mind.
ltut. generally speaking, there isn't
a vast amount of sunshine In her life,
aside from that nfforded by her re
ligion. No wonder sho grows smaller
and more faded year by year: no won
der sho doesn't take much Interest
In hats. How can you take Interest
In a hat you've woin every summer
fop seven years and every strand of
whove braid, every fold of ribbon and
bit of rusty lace are as familiar as
tho form of prayei- which Heacon
Green offers every Thursday night at
meeting. She knows that tho women
of the church criticize her queer old,
shabby gowns, but she also knows
den as best they may. How beautl
fully they do It every one almost
without exception. More than once
their grace, their tact, their de
votion and help are the keys that un
lock the golden gate of distinction for
their husbands and bring them to a
proud place In the ministry, and then
when it is all done there Is left the
memoirs at the general conference
to perhaps, though, whence they have
gone they still watt close to tho door
for the coming of the feet they have
so long helped over the hard places.

It is a fact that results so attained are enduring.
The Stieff piano is pre-eminently the instrument for the buyer who
believes in the best being the cheapest. Remember, however, you do
not have to pay a "fancy" price for a Stieff, Its price is such as to'
ensure best materials and workmamhip and to arrest the attention of
the most careful buyer.
