They VIII Endeavor to Utilize the
Summer in Order to Relieve the
Pressure of Next Winter.

The board OF managers of the Associa ted
Charities held special NEE ting yesterday

work of the organization.
There were present: Mrs ]. w. Rabson,
Mrs. w. Il. BALDWIN,, jr.; Rev. j. Il. Brad
ford, Mrs. DR.. HOOD, Col. Archibald Hop
kins, Miss X. b. Hosmer, Prof. B. T.
Janney, Rev. George o. Little, Mr.. +. l..
Moore, DR.. NJ. D!sPeck, Rev. Charles A
Smith, and Mr.. IS. W. Woodward
The board is very anxious to retain one
agent in each division OF the city during the
summer months, and in order to do this
1t will be necessary 10 raise about $1,000
to carry on the work till next November.
1t was decided to have special "dofia
tion day. when all the members and
friends of the society would be asked to
devote the entire day to the work of
making the society and it's work better
understood in the c11mmunity aGd solicit
ing membership subscriptions. May l was
decided upon as thesday 10 be given up
to this work. - a o
A public meeting will be held next week
to make arrangements. Savings schemes
have been introduced among the poor aud
the ageDts will make regular visits to the
homes of the people to collect their savings.
The poor will be encouraged to save no
matter how small the amount. Sums from
3 cents up will be received. 1t is hoped by
keeping in touch with these Door people
during the summer months and seeing that
they do what they can to help themselves
many OF them will not need to come TO
the charities for help next summer.
The Potato Patch scheme was also
discussed and 1t was the una ninous opin-
ion OF the board that the plan should be
tried again if fands enough are forth
coming to carry it into effect. Several fam
HES who had lots to cultivate last year
have made application for lots this year.
The matter was referred to the executive
committee, and if funds enough can be
raised the plan will be tried again.

To II paa,lv Rude

Is IL not time that some one said word
concerning the rude and silly habit OF
thro wing rice over the bride and groom at
their first departure from the old home
on their wedding day; OF tying favors on
their luggage, and slipper on the carriage
that takes them to the station, and so tells
the story OF the day to a gaping and lndif-
ferent, If curious, crowd?
Can anything be more notifying, even
in her happiness, TO the young bride, who
chances TO find herself in a shower and
opens her umbrella in Broadway, than
10 have different shower fall ON her iE
the scattering OF the rice with which the
thing was filled? And is there really any
humor, or any true fun, in dealing such
humiliation and vexation to anyone? 1t
is certainly a mystery how those who cali
themselves her friends, and even her sisters
and brothers, can be willing to tease her in
such way at a time when 1t might be
supposed their tenderness would wish to
spare her bushes, linstead OF letting her
keep her dear secret from the world and
indulge herself in the notion that people
are taking her joy for an Old story.
But as 1t is, the bride remembered in this
| way Is not sure during the whole pc riod OF
this first flush of happiness, as we have
| heard more than one bride declare, at
! what moment she is not going to be be-
| trayed by grains Of rice appearing from the
| folds of her gown, done up In her hand
| kerchiefs or droppdng from any great hat
| or scarf she may, have3put on, so that she
| has not mOmen tof freedom be fore people.
