The marriage took place at 5 o'clock, and was what was termed a green and white wedding. The floral decorations consisted of potted palms, ferns and rare exotics, trimmed with white silk ribb.ons.

There were eight bridesmaids and groomsmen, who in the procession preceded the bride and groom to the rabbi. The ritual was a short address by the rabbi to the couple, followed by a prayer in Hebrew, when the groom placed the ring on the bride's hand and concluded by his pronouncing them man and wife under the Jewish faith. After receiving congratulations the newly made pair started on a honevmoon trip. At 7 o'clock a dinner was served in the banquet hall to about two hundred guests. After the dinner there was dancing until a late hour.

At St. Charles Borromeo's Church, Sidney place and Livingston street, last night, at we might say, pure fiction ends. Beyond It everything lies somewhere or other in that borderland where the memory and the Imagination meet and blend.

These hills of Boone County felt often the tread of Morgan's cavalry. From this historic section of our county, this borderland which both in topography and in eventB may be likened to the Scottish Highlands, hundreds of recruits turned to swell the forcen of the great Southern cavalryman who passed through this county after his escape from Columbus, and for a time was secreted in a house on one of the knobs of Gunpowder. The ruins of the bid church on the island, the first church reared in north Kentucky, built while yet Kentucky wan a county of Virginia, a historic landmark, are still to be seen. The story marks a distinct advance upon "Stringtown on. the Pike." A Dream of Young Summer.

haunter of budding forest side, mirrored pleasure of the happy stream When into silent shade its ripples glide, Who art thou, sovereign Dream within dream Thy wings with many a prism lighted gleam Are overshot, and from a magic reed Thou drawest forth those melodies supremo That with unnamed delight the spirit feed Who art thou, Vanisher; and whither wilt thou lead? So fugitive, so sweet heart breaker thou! But yet not thee, thy' beckoning Fate, I chide. The blossom wirui from off the orchard bough Hath blown the flaky petals far and wide: Born, winged as thou art, upon the tide Of never staying hours, borne singing too, Thou fadest from the stream and forest side. Leaving a tearful splendor of the dew A world of sighing leaves an arc of empty blue. Edith M. Thomas in Harper's Magazine THE DAY'S REVIEW.

A Social Study of the Veldt. "A Daughter of the Veldt," by Basil Marnan. tHenry Holt New York. $1.30.) People who know what the words "a good novel" mean and who like a good novel, had better try "A Daughter of the Veldt." It is not a trashy, but exciting, romance, nor a clever but artificial play of spirit; it has no humor, its action is slow, and the agony is over long drawn out. But it is the real drama of real persons.

We should imagine that the author is a woman; "Joyce" is obviously drawn from an intimate model, and the local color of South African life rings obviously true. In spite of the fault of too much analysis usually the fault of a good beginner the story is told with the realism which we exact from real fiction nowadays. It never strives after artificial effect; it does not juggle to pleass an audience accustomed to empty trickery. The story is conceived on the sound, if harsh, probabilities of ordinary lite, and it is told as it is conceived in sound statements and natural dialogue, giving the unpleasant its due proportion. It resembles, with more substance but less catchy mysticism, "The Story of an African Farm." But it must be said at once that a certain form of vice is openly dealt with.

The Daughter of the Veldt is Joyce, the illegitimate child of the Rev. Mowbray Wrixon and Gertrude Richards, the daughter of a farmer in Natal. The child is stolen from its mother by a Basuto woman and brought up as the daughter of Vrau Heis mann, a Boer woman, in ignorance of her birth. The vrau and her two daughters are drunken camp followers, and they hate Joyce for her purity and innate good breeding. The girl, however, receives a good education, and not only remains uncontaminated, but feels an unspeakable repulsion to the horrible harridan who she supposes is her mother.

Not until the age of 20 does she learn otherwise, but she has no sooner recovered her long pent spirit of virtuous pride, and won the love of an honest man, than she learns, also, that she is an illegitimate child, nicked up on the veldt. The girl's whole life is oneJ ul teuiuie spiritual innictions, which are reported unflinchingly. Finally, her own father! Canon Wrixon, while knowing she Is his daughter, seeks her in marriage. Meanwhile her mother, Gertrude Hichards, grossly betrayed and deserted by Wrixon, marries Judge Treiawney. The day after the marriage the Judge learns his wife's secret, but for years he keeps silent, and his bitterness is inexplicable to her.

Then she is again thrown into the society of Wrixon. who repents his mistake in not making her his wife, while the Judge is always secretly suspecting a liaison between them. She suspects Wrixon of having stolen their child. At last she hears of Joyce, and identifies the beautiful but unfortunate girl as her own. At the same time she learns that Wrixon seeks to marry Joyce.

Compelled to prevent such an unnatural thing, she meets Wrixon secretly and is suspected by her husband. He discards her in a powerful scene. Ultimately he learns his wife's innocence, and all ends happily. For the hpnpfi rf 1. that ugly truths are harmful and we do not dispute that hellpf it to utcDaftijf lu bay that this book is full of ugly truths.

It consists of a picture of the sordid profligacy and vulgar vice of a small military cantonment auu we are compelled to confess that occasionally we have suspected the author of that grossest of literary crimes, the pandering to depraved curiosity for the sake of sales. Wkv thn i i cu al lude to this feature of the book? Why not, iuuocu, me oook entirely the severest Censure a critic, ran nffey nnnn the whole, we think it is a good work, 'and that its realism makes for goodness. We do not detect any symptom of impurity in the motives the plot, and we do detect many Indica'tions of seevre chastity of thought and profound earnestness of expression. If we do not allude to the nature of its contents, other reviewers will, and the book is on the market. And the maxim of our American education truth trends toward the open exposure of sore places as the simplest moral hygiene.

The detailed episodes of sin in "The Daughter of the Veldt" are unnecessarily numerous; yet, without them, the story of Joyce would have been incomplete, and the story of Joyce is a moral and uplifting story. The Wiggles worth Sketches. "What Happened to Wlgglesworth," by W. O. Fuller.

(Boston, Dlckerman Son.) Some years ago the Wigglesworth sketches appeared in a New York paper. Mr. Fuller's brand of humor has long been familiar to Maine. Some years ago lectured widely and was in much demand. He is the editor of the Rockland Courier Gazette, one of the bright papers in Maine.

When Mr. Fuller was in Boston to confer with his publishers he was the guest of Thomas Bailey Aldrich. At the same time Mark Twain was a guest at the Aldrich house, and under those circumstances the Maine man had an exceptional week of it. Mr. Lloyd's New Novel.

In the May Bookman there commences a serial story entitled "Warwick of the Knobs," by John TJri Lloyd, author of "String town on the Pike." To those who have read Mr. Lloyd's earlier hook we may say that the story deals with practically the same scenes and the same period. "Warwick of the Knobs" is a study of a life such as men like Warwick met both with Warwick's faith and stoicism. These men were iron in the manner in which they clung to tradition, to home, to family pride, and, above all, to their religion and their God, whom they believed to be relentless, but just. "This de scription of Boone (Stringtown) County," says Mr.

Lloyd, "is such as history might record, but does not." The scenery, the people, the methods of worship, the prejudice, the sacrifice, the love, the nobleness of character, might all have been drawn from actual life. There was no Warwick. At least there was no one oi that name, who presented the characteristics of the man whose name has given the title to this story. But with that, NEW PUBLICATIONS. BATJCHXE MOON.

I Yesterday proved itself the day of all days matrimonially for A summer noon, afternoon and evening that were almost perfect from the bride's point of view made the long series of weddings in various churches and in homos, distinctive and ioug to be remembered. Brookbn's greatest crowds seeking bridal pageants gathered In the evening, a summer night, warm, but without a cloud in its sky. The New York Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, in the heart of the upper Bedford section, was one of the Uv.ad points. Here were wedded, with an elaborate cere monial and a pageantry picturesque and dra matic. before a church crowded with peo pie Mr.

and Mrs. George T. Moon's daugh ter, Miss Maria Louise Moon, and George Young Bauchle of the Borough of Manhattan. Outside this large auditorium and within a large fraction of Brooklyn society was to i he seen. Very nearly 250 carriages must have been lined along the adjoining streets and half a dozen automobiles at least tig ured in the number.

There was 'much elab orate and effective costuming both at and at house. The Rev P. Farkes Cadmau. pastor ot the Central Congregational Church, successor ot the late Dr. officiated, this being Mr.

Cadman's first large bridal in Brooklyn The church's decorations were green anil i white with Easter lilies the flowers, and the ceremony's hour was At this hour precisely, out of the door at the left hand the platform, twelve choir bovs, chorisiers of St. Ann on the He.ghU, appeared. Marching in front ot the platform thev turned up the church's center aisle advancing to where the bride and her fathct stood, at the ehiirrh's doors. As they moved towards the vestibule they sung "The oice That Breathed O'er Eden." Following them, from out the same door, came the tram ot six ushers and four bridesmaids. The procession moved slowly until the choristers had reached the back of the church and there these bov smg rs broke ranks, standing at te new "hen 's and facing, while ushers and bridesmaids passed through.

Here the church doers, wedding partv was finally formed. At the signal of Pringle. master of ceremonies, the choristers wheeled anil commenced their march down the aisle. As th slowly marched they sung the weddins chorus from Lohengrin. Behind Them came the ushers, in this order cf pairs: George T.

Moon, and John L. E. Peel of New York. John P. Curtiss of New York and Ralph M.

Sawver of Great. Barriugton, Edward J. West of New York and Milton Hr pkins of Glen Cove. L. I.

Following the ushers were the four bridesmaids. Miss Sarah James and Miss Mabel Jacobs of Brooklyn. Miss Florence Jenkins of New York and Miss Emilv Tackle; of Brooklyn. The maid of honor. Miss Saidcc Hayward of New York, walked after these, and then the flower girls, little Miss Gladys Moon, the bride's sister, and the bride herself.

Pink and white inade mi this wedding train. The flower girl was prettily frocked In white silk mull, carrying a hat of sweet peas. White silk mull over pink were the gowns the four bridesmaids, and thev carried La France roses. The maid of honor was in pure white silk mull, with a bunch of American Beauties in her hands. Miss Moon herself wore Battenberg lace and mousseline de eoie appliqued on crepe de chine.

She carried orchids and lilies of the valley. She wore a tulle veil and her ornament (Mr. Bauchle's wedding gift) was a diamond and ruby heart. Mrs. Moon was arrayed in a of white lace over blue, and Mrs.

Bauchle, the bridegroom's mother, in nile green mousseline de soie. At the front pews the ehori sters halted, breaking ranks and facing again. The rest cf the wcdd'me; party passed through, the choristers standing steadily. The ceremony proceeded without musical accompaniment, until at the moment of the actual ceremony of marriage these choir boys, from their places, sang again. In an undertone, with a slight melody, from the organ, they chanted.

"Oh. Perfect Love." Going out' the choir boys led the way with the flower girl following, bride and bridegroom coming next, the maiti of honor, bridesmaids and ushers bringing up the rear. At the Moon residence. 66S Futnim avenue (near Lewis avenue) there was held immediately afterward a very large reception. The drawing rooms were decked in pink and green.

Eridc and bridegroom stood in the front drawing room under a canopy of pink roses. At a window of the bock drawing room the Austrians were stationed on RIDGEWOOD HOUSEHOLD CLUB. Industrial 'Work Among School Children to Be Conducted hy Packer and Other Graduates. At a meeting held yesterday afternoon at Public School Xo. 11G, in the Ridgewocd district, the organization was completed of the Ridgewood Household Club and a plan of work for children along industrial lines mapped out that gives promise of becoming of considerable Importance and significance In the near futuTe.

The foundation of this work was laid two years ago in Public School Xo. 116 under the direction of Misa Agnes DeMonde, the principal, and her assistants, was further developed under the auspices of a band of Packer graduates and now the responsibility is to be divided among a company of workers representing graduates of Packer Institute, Adelphi, Academy and College. Berkeley Institute, Girls' High School and the originators. Miss DeMonde and her assistants. Members of the alumnae of the Training School for Teachers have also promised to Join in the work In the fall and it is expected that tr.ere win be other additions wnen the project becomes better known.

The plan is to secure a house in Ridgewood in the vicinity of School No. 116 and there conduct classes ia wood carving, sewing, cooking, bod making and other household duties and participation in games and other forms of amusement. A resident worker, Miss Evans, who has had considerable experience in work of tbis kind will be in charge and the manage 6)6nt of affairs will be vested in a central board composed of representatives from the different groups of graduates affiliated with the club. Each set of graduates form what is known as the chapter and the delegates from the chapters compose the governing board of executive committee. Meetings of the club will be held monthly and Judging from the enthusiasm and interest manifested by the organizers of the club which ha3 alread" secured the support and co operation of too residents of the neighborhood, it will bo developed materially and profitably.

The object of the club as stated in its constitution is to help the people of Ridgewood to larger opportunities and higher interests and its policy is to be entirely non sectarian. The number of those comprising the club can not be given at this time with accuracy, but it Is between 75 and 100 active Packer alumnae workers and those Irom the Adelphi union each numbering forty. The work has ceased for the summer, but will be resumed in the fall and meantime, as a summer treat, the chil dren to the number nf 200 or more are to be taken for a trip to Prospect Park on Saturday June 15. a special effort being made to include in the party the youthful attendants at the classes, who have never visited Brooklyn's principal pleasure ground. A committee from the club will act as host chartered cars have been promised a genuine picnic is anticipated.

The beginnings of the work were noted in the Eagle a little over a year ago. but its subsequent history is not so familiar. As stated at the rime thru 'he article relative to the classes organized at School Xo. 116 appeared, the girls were taught darning, bed making, buttonhole making, millinery, sweeping, dusting, etc. The household tasks wore not t.nugbt on the plan of the kitchen garden, but with a bed and tablc nf ordinary size.

The boys were taught to snw nn btit tons, make buttonhnVs and do simple wood earvtng and Miss DeMonde and her assistant 4evoted all of their spare time after school 3 ome i i i I 1 i 1 a covered platform. From another window steps led to a marquee over the entire back yard, where supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Bauchle will live at 1 West Eighty first street.

Borough of Manhattan. MARTIN BURROUGHS. Edwin G. Martin of this city was married at Coxsackic. N.

last night to Miss Alice Burroughs. The ceremony, witnessed only by a few friends and immediate relatives, was performed at Ely Form, the residence of Mrs. c. E. L.

Burroughs, mother of the bride. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. Lewis Lampman. the bride's uncle. Miss Burroughs, until very recently, resided in Brooklyn.

The groom, who for nine years has been chief clerk in the advertising department of the Eagle, has a large acquaintance among the business and mercantile men of the city. Mr. and Mrs. Martin will make Brooklyn their home at the conclusion of a three weeks' wedding journey. The latter, on which they left last night, will include a visit to the Pan American Exposition, a voyage on the GTeat Lakes as far as Chicago and a leisurely return route by way of Washington.

TOWNSEND HOUGHTON. While the Bauchle Moon wedding was on a ceremony of no less interest to Brooklyn Society was taking place in one of the borough's quaintest churches. In the Church of the Redeemer, Fourth avenue and Pacific street, this ceremony was solemnized, its bride. Dr. Owen E.

Houghton's daughter, daughter. Miss Helen Houghton, its bride Miss Helen Houghton, its bridegroom Gerard Bostwick Townsend, the son of William Townsend of the old Brooklyn Townsend I family of the Hill, formerly of upper Greene avenue. Eight o'clock was this wedding's hour, and pink and white its colors. Eight o'clock was this wedding's hour, and pink and white its colors. This bride, a very well known Hill girl, i of the Adelphi sets, was very daintily ar rayed in a wedding gown of white meteor I crepe appliqued and with duchesse point.

She wore a vail of tulle and carried white orch ids and lilies ot the valley. Her wedding processional was full of pretty effect. Forward up the aisle, to meet the officiating clergymau. the Rev. George Calvert Carter, the bridegroom and his best man, Frank I.

Townsend. his brother, came first, two flower children, a little maid. Miss Rowena Law rence. in pink mousseline de soie. carrying a i hat of pink sweet peas and daisies, and a page, Owen E.

Houghton, in a suit of I white trimmd with pink. There followed! these children the six ushers in these pairs Dr. Palmer Townsend of Brooklyn and Clif ford B. Fuller of East Orange, Warren C. Van Slyke and Harry N.

Fletcher of Manhat tan and Lemuel S. Eaton and Paul R. Towne of Manhattan. After them came six brides i maids Miss Blanche H. Sherry.

Sag Harbor, i and Miss Grace Huntington of New burgh on the Hudson. Miss violet H. Smith and Miss Helen Rossiter of Brooklyn, Miss Katharine A. Righter and Miss A. May Mar shall of Brooklyn.

These maids were most charmingly garbed. All wore the fashionable little waist vails of tulle and were in white and pink. But the gowns were carefully graduated in tone. Of mousseline de soie of white the gowns of the first pair (Miss Sherry and Miss Huntington) were trimmed with pink chiffon of a deep shade and deep pink roses went with these. Miss Smith and Miss (Rossiter wore chiffon and carried roses of a lighter shade, while Miss Righter and Miss Marshall had their chiffon and roses of a very pale tone indeed.

At the head of the aisle ushers and brides maids halted, the flower hcildren keeping on. Ushers and bridesmaids broke ranks, freed, the first two ushers at the first pew head, the second pair at the third pew head, the third pair at the fifth. The six bridesmaids moved in between, the two in the lead at the second pew head, the second pair at the fourth pew. the third at the sixth pew. Maid of honor and bride then passed through this bridal aisle.

Miss Emily R. Houghton, Miss Houghton's sister, was her maid ot honor. She wore a frock of white dotted mousseline de soie, with Mechlin lace and white chiffon, a waist vail of tulle and carried a shower bouquet ot white roses. Palms, daisies, pink and white roses decked the church. The house, 126 South Oxford street, was decorated In roses, both pink and white, and palms.

A large reception followed. Miss Houghton received a great array of very handsome presents, china and glass figuring largely. Bride and bridegroom have taken hours to these classes and also held some on Saturday. The work developed so rapidly when its practical nature and industrial aim was understood that the task became too much for the teachers of Xo. 116 and Miss DeMonde.

who is a Packer graduate, sought assistance from her associates in the alumnae association of that institution. It is contrary to the custom of the Packer Almunae to interest itself as an organization in any special philanthropic enterprise, although there are few charities and philanthropies in the borough in which former Packer students are not actively interested, but individual interest was aroused and the then president, Mrs. Henry Conkling, became especially interested and called upon the later classes for co operation. Last February the Packer chapter was organized and the work of the industrial classes transferred from the care of the teachers of Xo. 116 to that of the chapter.

That is the girls' classes. The flat of which the Packer chapter took possession on Ralph street was not large enough to accommodate both the boys and the girls, so Miss DeMonde continued the boys' classes and the girls' went to the new quarters. Cooking, plain sewing, darning, buttonhole making, bed making and similar tasks were taught, but the millinery class was dropped. The boys' schedule remained the same. Saturday was devoted to games, not on the kindergarten order, but the regu lar games of school children.

Miss Evans, who is a Packer and a vassar (Joilege graduate, superintended the work for the three months and the classes closed about a fortnight ago. When the work is taken up in the fall the boys' and girls' classes will be carried on in the one place. The neighborhood is particularly adapted for such a club and the work that It proposes to do. as there is nothing similar to be found within anything like convenient distance. The classes will be open to all the children In the neighborhood.

The governing board of the club has already been referred to and the officers elected yesterday after the adoption of th constitution and due consideration of routine business nre: President. Mrs. Henry Conkling. of Packer Alumnae; vice president. Miss Agnes E.

De Monde. Public School Xo. 116; corresponding secretary. Miss Grace Willets. Adelphi union: recording secretary, Miss Lowe, Girls' High School Alumnae; treasurer, Miss Grace Lidford, Berkeley.

Major Coughlin Is educational director of the Young Men'e Christian Association.

He is also one of Brooklyn's well known lecturers and local artists, who has exhibited with success In special exhibitions of his own at the Hooper Gallery. O'CONNOR HA YNES. One of the prettiest of the many weddings of the past week was that on Monday of Miss Lillian Frances Haynes of Jefferson avenue and John Miller O'Connor of 521 Willoughby avenue, which took place at the Church of Our Lady of Victory, Throop avenue and McDonough street. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Moran, rector of the Church of the Nativity.

The church was profusely decorated with white roses, lilies and palms. Immediately after the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Haynes, 557 Jefferson avenue.

She wore a gown of light green silk and white lace and carried pink Mr. O'Connor's cousin, Charles A. O'Connor of Flatbush, acted as best man and the ushers were John R. Kuhn, William McGuire, George Andersen and Monroe Roberts. The honeymoon will be Bpent at Mr.

O'Connor's country seat at Patchogue, L. and on Its conclusion they will establish their home at 484 Qulncy out seeds. The fruit so far obtained Is smaller than ordinary varieties and lacking in flavor. With a few years more of cultivation It is believed that seedless apples and pears will be as common as seedless oranges. Currants and grapes are grown in large quantities without seeds.

A great deal moro attention is being paid to the cultivation of nuts than ever before. Experiments in growing chestnuts larger than the ordinary wild nuts have been successful. The object of nut growers now Is not so much to grow larger nuts as to do away with the shell and the thick walls which separate the kernel. An Ohio owner has already succeeded in growing hickory nuts with shells so thin that they can be broken by the hand. Toronto World.

KINDERGARTEN OTJTING. The thirty pupils in the kindergarten connected with Public School No. 3 had a very pleasant day's outing in Prospect Park Tuesday.
