:" WEDDING on Friday or i'm the

IN unlucky, while June. September

the 18th day of each month"; are held
to be most fortunate.
DREADFUL omen is the pOstpouement
OF a wedding. Many are welded on a
bed fpain or in d house of mourning rather
than change the day.
o.
AN old adage goes to the effect that she
who dares don the bridal finery in its
entirety before the hour or the ceremony
VIII meet misfortune and death.
o.
THE right shoe must be put on first. for
il the bride draws on the left shoe by
mistake she will have an unhappy married
life.
''SoMETHING odd and something new,
something borrowed aud something
blue" must always be followed.
o.
A BRIDE must have a care not to peep at
herself in a mirror before she is ccin-
pletcly gowned.
EVERY pin used i'll dressing must be
thrown away.

TO LOSE the wedding ring Is prophetic
OF evil, and many fancy to remove it

THE breaking OF a wedding ring is surely
prophetic OF the death of one of the

AS tile wedding ring wears
So wears way life s cares
THE throwing OF rice and old slippers

scended from antiquity, rice meaning fer

supposed to invoke the favor Of the tickle
goddess of fortune.

she may be. She must squeeze out tear
or So for the bride who neglects to weep
will be very unhappy indeed.

SEVERAL old adases which have been
considered prophetic are:
Blest is the bride upon whom the sun doth
shine.
TO change the name and not the letter,
Is a change for the worse and not the better.

Kate Field does not believe that
many women desire 10 vote, although she
believes in their Inherent right To the
baliu. She says, in a recent interview ON
the subject:
Women are not sufficiently enlightened
on the subject to want suffrage, and
am not So sure that 1t is wise to give
anybody anything unless they show de-
sire for it. They would be just like dead
heads, who always grnwl. They never ap-
prcciatc what they get, while those who
pay their way, sit out the show and gen.
orally like il.
Il believe in the justice OF woman's
suffrage. i believe they have as much
right To it as men. i don't find that
women in Wyoming and Colorado are a
bit different from women in the States
where they have no suffrage.
.'Women want Some mental dissipa ton.
They want to get away from the bunNlrum
existence they lead. Men have their clubs
and political meetings and such things to
give spice to their lives, but do not APP
preciate the narrowness of the circle in
which women move.
when women have such serious things as
politics to interest them they will drop a
great deal that rs trifling. II anything in
the world could reduce the number of hours
women devote to shopping, what a blessing
it would be! There are no gadders on earth
like American women. If they gadded to
some pnrpose-if they took up fine cook
ing or aesthetic dressing, for instance
it would he different"

one could help another. How TO get
those girls" ashore without torrify-
ing them and putting them IN still
greater danger through their fears wac
the problem OF that terrible moment.
The man solved Il like hero. He
made a sign. a sound Of personal dis
tress. and began swimming In shore.
His companions In the waves heard
and saw his white face Both believed,
o. he meant them 20. that he was
threatened with cramps and swan In
shore too. calling out cheerful. oncour.

the shore. assuring him that he would
soon be all right; that they could get
him In safely II he really should give
out. and other words 10 that effect. II
was not long before this man Of moral
courage stood upon the beach in safety.
and those he had thus rescued from
death stood on either side OF him and
heard what Il would have meant for
them 10 have spent another moment In
that out-rushlng tide.
Il was a noa-combatant IN the strife
for life who remarked: THAT fellow

his plea TO the eternal wOmanly' TO

the heaviest catches which he had ever
made. and what he could not under
