flowers, blooming plants, stately palms
and ferns were beautifully combined in
decorating the house, and a color motif
of yellow and white was carried out in
a charming manner. A pyramid of
ferns arranged in a corner of the living
room formed an improvised altar, be
fore which the ceremony was per
formed. Just in front of the altar a
graceful arch covered with jonquils
rested on tall draped pedestals. Other
edestalB were capped with candelabra
..otding yellow and white tapers, ard a
wedding bell made of yellow flowers
was suspended from the center of the
arch. Jonquils were banked on the
mantel, and the stairway in the hall
was artistically decorated with the
same flowers, combined with garlands
of Bmilax. The table in the dining-room
was covered with a cluny lace cloth
over green satin. A prettily shaped
basket filled with yellow flowers and
ferns, ornamented with tulle bows, was
placed at the center, while yellow and
white bon bons and tapers completed
the table decorations. Just before the

system in a run down condition, partic
ularly the kidneys, which seem to suffer
most, as almost every victim complains
of lame back and urinary troubles,
which Bhould not be neglected, ns these
danger signals often lead to dangerous
kidney troubles. Druggists report a
large Bale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
which so many people Hay soon heals
and strengthens the kidneys after an
attack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and
being an herbal compound, has a gen
tle healing effect on the kidneys, which
is almost immediately noticed in most
cases by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y., offer to
send a sample size bottle of Swamp-
Root, on receipt of ten centB, to every
sufferer who requests it. A trial will
convince any one who may be in need
of it. Regular size bottles 50c. and $1.
