Though the new portion ot St. Stephen's Churoh is not yet oonsplotad, it was specially prepared for the occasion, and looked very pretty, the decorations having been artistically arranged by the lady friends of the bride. ; The decoration" of ttarf pulpit and choir stalls was vary effective, th«- ohief,feature, however, wm the chancel, the communion rails being covered with greenery and flowers, whilst from a floral screen across tbe chancel hung Uw initials of the contracting parties, with a handsome marriage bell in the centre, composed of evergteeni and white chrysan themums, the communion table being set eff with vases of white flowers. The aisle of the church was laid with matting and car pet, As the bridal party entered the church, the choir sang the old nuptial hymn, "Iht* voise that breathed o'er Eden.' Tbe bride, who'entered the church leaning on the arm of her father, was attired in a vary besoming dress of whit*) satin trimmed with true lovers' knots, and wearing the orthodox veil and orange blossoms, and carrying a very handsome tbower -bouquet. She was attended by five bridesmaids, of whom her sister, Miss Jenny Shury, was chief. She too looked charming in a dress of white silk with white hat trimmed with ostrich feathers and pink true lovers' knots, carrying a handsome shower bouquet. The other bridesmaids were four little girls in white coats and skirts, with pink sashes and true lovers' knots with hats to match ; each carrying a floral horse shoe. Mr A. L.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the hymn, " Now thank we all our God," was sung by the choir, and as the newly-wedded pair left tbe church the organist, Mrs W. B. Fez played Mendelssohn's wedding march In her usual efficient style, and the bells rang out a merry peat. On the way to the carriage they were greeted with showers of flowers and rice.

HOW TO GET A CAMP KIT.

fbe Articles Required Need Not Co»i Mora Than Twenty Dollars. If you get a guide it will be better to let him furnish, the camp kit. Otherwise take each an ax, a baker, 2-quart bread pan, wooden butter box, can opener, coffeepot (which will do for the tea), three forks, bags for provision, two fry ing pans, four tin plates, two 2-quart tin paila, four pint tin dippers, three teaspoons, one large spoon, an A tent 7 by 8, salt shaker, pepper box, potato bag, three knives, one 3-quart iron kettle. You can put all these things save the tent into two flour barrels, and these are convenient to handle when in transit or when changing camping grounds. If you want birds take a shotgun, though if you have a guide and are in a country where there is large game, let the guide kill the partridge by shooting the heads off with a rifle, or you can do it yourself. If you expect to go into a duck country, take a double barreled gun,,"' " ' '■'■■ " ' ' ■■ ■'■" A cheap rod is as available as an ex pensive one, and often a willow pole is better than a rod. But have plenty of line, hooks and sinkers. Ouch an outfit, even if newly pur chaeed, need not cost over twenty dol lars, aside from the tent, and, if it be taken care of, the expense of fitting put next year will be reduced nearly one half, . ■ •. ■■ ■ ■ •■ "-V
