PEEK'S SECKET WEDDING. j \ [i It has only just leaked out that Lord i ( Sullield. who only lost his first wife in] Fi liruan. was married ;i second time j * a month ago. The new Lady Suflield is Mr-. IJich. widow of the late Colonel llich. She is ;j() years her husband's junior. Tbe ulmo.-t secrecy was preserved us lo the ceremony, which took place on August, l.j at the parish church of St. M.irylcboiie by special license. Apart from the bride and bridegroom and tlie official ing- clergyman, there were only three people present. 'lb • llev. .). Wellcr. a personal friend of V- b rilsli'p, p-i formed the ceremony. M;-. .U liner. i!i" -iep-daughtcr of Mr. Wi lire, was one of the signatories to the regi-irr. and the bride was given aw:iy by the Lady Marian, daughter of the fuiirlh Marquis „f Fly and wife of the oiiiciatiug minister. From tin. church Lord and Lady Suflield (."rove to their hotel, where' they -laved a week, attending lo various matter- of l.n-iiii.--. They ihen departed for a -mall hou.-e near London which Lord Sullield had taken. The first Lady Sullield was a member* of the famous Baring familv and a sister of Lord Kcvrl-loke. Lor.l Sullield carries his nearlv enmplcted SI years with little lo indicate his age. lie is as alert in mind and as active physically as many men a decitde. or two bis junior. Originally in the 7ih Ihissnrs. Lord Sullield left the a mi v on the death of hi- half-brother, whom he succeeded ill ISoX From I Nils to 1572 he was Lord-in-Wiiiliiig In On: en Victoria, and accompanied the late King, then Prince of Wale-, on his tour in India. From that time onwards he was regarded by King Edward with the greatest favor, and might, indeed, be described as the ]ier--onal friend of his Sovereign. His scat at Cunton Park, near Cromer, i- almost as famous for its pheasants as its owner was as a shot and a rider. It was of Lord Sullield that Whvte Melville wrote: A rider unequalled, a sportsman com- J plete. A rum mi to follow, a bad 'un to beat. Lord Sullield in his youth was a very keen -porlsinan. It is told of him that he ua.s going over to Ireland lo ride at j y'jioiiiMo-point meeting, and before lief, left the late King said: "Suflield, I shall

expect a wire from you saying you have won six races.'' "I am afraid that it is not possible, sir," replied Lord Sullield. But be was wrong, lie won all six races, anil was able to send the telegram which the King had asked for.

' DIFFICULTIES CAN BE OVERCOME. I Kveryone has some delectable land to

ward which she is gazing with longing eyes, but from which she thinks she is barred by insurmountable obstacles. But is Ibis so? If tbe matter is considered careiilly and conscientiously it will be usually found that nothing keeps us out of the best but ourselves. If it: is ignorance that is keeping us from the territory we. may wish to enter and possess, ignorance can he dissipated; if it is indolence it can be overcome. BE THE MISTRESS. Whether a woman does her own housework or not. she ought to manage it. not let. it manage her. She ought to have time for other things—for outdoor walks, a ride on a bicycle if she wishes to. for a little playtime with the children, a visit to friends, a little courtship with the husband, time for new books and old ones, and papers and magazines. She need never sulTer from ennui. And that is the kind of woman who makes a home that is something more than '■four square walls." CHURCH VESTMENTS AND LADIES' FASHIONS.

On the best authority it is said that ladies are again seeking suggestions for fashions . in .ancient, .ecclesiastical and academical costumes. The curious soft cup worn by doctors of Civil Law is to farm the model of an autumn hat —or j should'it be toque?—and an adaptatioi j of the biretta has already been seen ii. the streets. ' < t CALMING THE NERVES. Nervousness, which is now recognised as a disease, must, be treated by tender and watchful care, but without a great ileal of physic. The nervous woman is to be pitied unless, indeed, her trouble is largely self-imposed: then many times a very simple course of treatment should fine her. For nervous women aromatic , baths are highly recommended; soft water just pleasantly warm, made fragrant by using perfumed salts, or by the , free use of toilet waters, become the ( healing methods, and have been found \ i so helpful that it may almost be claimed . , ns a safe cure. I HOLIDAYS AND THE COMPLEXION i Complexions surfer a great deal during summer holidays because their owners do not take as good care of them then as they do at other times when toilet opportunities are more convenient. Do not allow your complexion to sutler from 'neglect because of the need of a little extra exertion on your part. If is cheaper to tip the chamber-maid to bring you hot water at least on«e :i day ' than it is to pay for healing lotions after you come home. If the water you bathe in seems harsh so that the hands and face appear mottled or rough, soften the water with boritx or almond meal. AMBER BEADS. Once more in favor are those glistening, gleaming yellow beads which since ■ (he time of our great grandmothers have been worn as necklaces. With the collnrless blouses and tbe lingerie frocks with I heir low necks, neck ornaments are especially fashionable, and this gives added • opportunity for the wearing of this pretty, old-fashioned bead. All sizes are worn, from the small pea-sized bead to ill*- one as large as a good-sized marble. And in the jewellers' shops one may purchase them by the string or by tbe dozciv-Mn this latter way making the necklace as one pleases. \ A POPULAR DUTCH COLLAR. j A girl who enjoys doing dainty needle- ) work can make for herself some ex-' quisite little Dutch collars by getting her mother or her grand mother to give her a few odds ami ends of fine old laee and band embroidery. There are often small pieces of old laee and embroidery that their owner cannot find use for. and yet they are really too handsome to throw away-.- These are just what is wanted for the Dutch collar. To make one of these collars a girl -hould first make a design on a piece of muslin which will give a good ell'ect with what pieces she has; then baste them on and fill in the spaces with tine handkerchief linen and bending. It re-' quires careful sewing, but that is something that many girls of to-day can doextremely well, and this kind of workis very fascinating. It is not always necessary to make the entire design lir-t. The most important pieces may be basted, on the muslin and (be rest of the design worked out gradually. Any number of things may be used in one collar if the whole effect is artistic.
