But this country, that should have

rapidly following in the footsteps Of the
mother country. and able and cultivated
women are appearing to take their places
as pronounced politicians. and to adj

women. The examples of England's
best and bravest and noble women
ladies like this one and many others

A Unique social Function.

A feature Of the last week OF social
life in Brddeford was the ''burying" Of
Ash Wednesday by the French people. a
custom peculiar TO Canada, and this Is
how 1t is done: The host and hostess Of
the. party busy themselves In frying
"fiapjacks." and after a big stock has
been piled mp the party is seated at the
tables and there Is gastronomic contest
to see who can eat the largest number Of
these ''fiapjacks." The winner gets o
suitable prize. while the one who eats
the fewest becomes the clown Of the
party for the remainder of the evening,
and is Obliged to submit to any pranks
which the others may play and to do
everything ordered to. no matter how
ridiculous. The biggest record ever
known there was made by Frenchman,
now dead, who ate an even two dozen
good sized "flapjacks." with nothing to
help them down but sugar.-Bangor

reason Of the summons OF Miss Yandell

There Miss YaDdell has designed two

Lively Young Women at Leap Year Parties.
Some Of the leap year parties seem to
have been carried ON or of with exceE-
tionai spirit. It has been laughable. for
instance, the way in which the men
have insisted upon being chaperoned
and young women have called in car
riages TO accompany gay bachelors, who
were carefully protected by their moth
ers, to the scene Of festivities. One in
veterate joker gave perhaps a hint to
the bellies of the sort of chaperons that
would be most acceptable, when he
came into the parlor to receive his fair
escort, followed by an elderly aunt who

Mrs. Custer Is clever story teller,

ture on buffalo hunting at DR.. Corcoran's
recently she several times dropped her

enjoy the laughter which broke out
every few minutes at her witty sallies.
When she referred to the tribulations OF
the Grand Duke Alexis on his travels In
this country in encountering Grating
mayors and city councils at every turn,
as she did several times. the fair lee
turer seemed little surprised at the
sensation produced on her audience.
When finally she described the incur
sion Of mayor upon a Mississippi
steamboat where the duke was trying TO
enjoy himself with party of ladies, the
merriment Of her hearers reached its cli-
max. and Mrs. Custer looked quizzically
at the distinguished gentleman who sat

cision TO have at least one court. The
queen herself would. it is said. be present
and receive for time. and then leave
the post Of honor to one of her daughters

holding court Is considerable.
The queen does not actually stand for

but yet the attitude Is firing. Even
more strain, however, is caused by the
hcessant passage of new figures robed
IN bright colors and decked with flash
ing gems. before the eyes OF the
sovereign. After short time this pro-
duces a sensation Of giddiness and great
fatigue. 1t is for these reasons that the
queen rarely stays longer than from an
hour to an hour and half at drawing

Princess Of Wales.
But supposing her royal highness
should feel II necessary to avoid all
social functions for months to come, 1t
will not be easy to satisfy debutantes or

proposing any other substitute for the
