Such a pretty country wedding!
The ceremony was held on the lawn
under a canopy of roses. The bride’s
gown was in keeping with the place
and season i— sheer, filmy mull
trimmed delicately in real flowers-—
and the bridesmaids were garbed in
old-fashioned sprigged organdie, with
sunbonnets, and they carried frtji-
grtgit bundles of sweet-smelling
herns, suclTas lavendar, verbena and
so on. And, to add to its charm, it
was the outcome of a real romance.
On the death of her husband, Mrs.
Climber decided to take her only
child, Delia, to New York, with the
idea of catching a wealthy husband.
The Climbers had hut a few thou-
sand dollars, but mamma considered
the best way to use them was to get
into society. She had the notion that
by renting a handsome house in the
fashionable quarter and inviting ev-
eryone she met to noteworthy din-
ners and dances, thereby getting her
name into the newspapers, she must
inevitably break into the charmed
circle of the Four Hundred. They
did get into a certain set. Delia was
too pretty and original to pass wholly
unnoticed, even in smart New York,
hut it was a circle composed mostly
of women, and after three months
very little headway had been made.
Mrs. Climber began to feel anxious.
She spent one whole morning going
over her accounts, and then called
Delia into consultation.
“Delia, we have only enough
money to last another three weeks
and onr fare back home again. Now
you must do your best to hook some
rich fellow if you don’t want to go
back to school teaching.”
“But, mother, you know perfectly
well I haven’t had even a half-way
decent offer. I did think Victor
Golfer liked me, but see how soon he
gave up calling. -I tell you a stranger
has no chance here unless she is
enormously wealthy or goes on the
stage.”
“Well, why not try the stage?”
“That requires money, too. Man-
agers don’t try out ordinary girls like
I am unless they have a backer. I
would willingly have accepted Victor,
although he is not actually rich, but
I like him. I wonder why he has not
called for so long-? He must be
away. Oh, I remember now. He
left a card of farewell. I suppose
he went back to his home in Pitts-
burg.”
The women decided to continue
their entertaining for two weeks
longer, and then, if nothing turned
up, to quietly withdraw.
But it was not td be. One after-
noon an elderly man called on Mrs.
Climber. He introduced himself as
4 half-brother of her husband and
said he had made a fortune in South
America, and as she and Delia were
his only relatives, he wanted to do
all he could for them. All he pos-
sessed would in time belong to Delia.
He bought them a smart motor car
and introduced them to the very peo-
ple they had vainly sought to know.
Soon Delia was surrounded by woo-
ers, but Victor, having returned on
the scene, she gave him the prefer-
ence. Her mother reproached her.
Why didn’t she drop him? He was
practically a poor man, while many
of the others were millionaires. (
“I don’t care,” Delia replied. “I
love Victor, and if he asks me I will
accept him.”
The desired-for happened. Victor
explained to Delia that he himself
possessed absolutely nothing, but
that, if his father liked her, which
of course he would, a million would
be settled on them jointly on their
wedding day. He must, of course,
bring his father to see them—he
was in town for a few weeks. It was
arranged that a luncheon at a res-
taurant would be a less formal way
of meeting and less embarrassing. As
the two women entered the foyer
they saw two men waiting for them.
“Why, there’s uncle,” Delia ex-
claimed. “I wonder how Victor got
to know him.”
It turned out that Victor had gone
home to tell his father that he had
met the one girl in the world, but
that she was poor. Mr. Golfer had
decided to find out for himself what
the girl was like, hence the trick he
played them. But it all ended satis-
factorily, and the old man was en-
chanted when Delie declared she
would be married from her own old
home and as simply as possible, in
spite of the million dollars that were
handed over to the happy couple.

Will TO ESTIBLISW
SOCIAL CENTERS
SECURING POPULAR EXPRESSION
IS FIRST STEP, LEADING
AUTHORITY SAYS.
Capable Oirectors and Assistants
Needed—Many Cities Make
Direct Appropriations
for This Work.
J3d£ryj?o<5' TTypvs? dFj 'te *
The question of establishing social
centers, the people’s indoor play-
grounds, is much discussed and has
been presented to various mothers’
and women’s clubs in their meetings
by ardent advocates. What the so-
cial center is and what it will do to
benefit communities is often repeat-
ed, but how to establish it is not so
generally stated.
Clarence A. Perry of the dpeart-
ment of recreation in the Russell
Sage Foundation, describes “the real
snag in social center extension” to
be uncertainty of the people’s will
and division of opinion, both political
and religious. Securing popular ex-
pression is the first step, while three
fundamental considerations are the
expense of opening buildings, salaries
of workers, equipment and supplies.
The extra expense for coal, electricity
or gas and overtime service of a jani-
tor or engineer can readily be com
puted after it is decided whether the
whole building or the auditorium
alone is to be used. The nature of
the locality, too, is a factor in de-
ciding how many centers are needed
and how often they are to be used
In New York the board of education
appropriaed $5,000 for janitor serv-
ice in connection with social centers.
In St. Louis the social center expense
is to be borne by the board of edu-
cation and the municipality.
Capable social center directors are
the second expense, an din this “in-
vestment in ability pays,” says Mr.
Perry, who gives $5 an evening as
the sum usually paid to a director,
while assistants receive $1.50 to
$2.50. The equipment includes such
articles as extra chairs, tables, maga-
zines, lanterns, phonographs, games,
the kind, variety and quantity de-
pending entirely upon the character
and extent of the work.
In every case in asking for appro-
priation for social center work the
backing of public opinion is neces-
sary. When the item is ohee includ-
ed among the requested appropria-
tions its final allowance often be-
comes the problem. Direct com-
munications from taxpayers are then
found to be effective means of con-
vincing the officials who vote upon
the budgets.
When in Detroit the common coun-
cil recently cut the social center item
out of the school budget the club
women came to th erescue, making
appeal by personal interviews, argu-
ment at public hearings, telephone
message and letter, with the result
th?,t the item was finally restored,
though the amount was cut to equal
that granted in the previous years.
