A bride is always interesting. When a
woman becomes bride she is making one
of the great changes in life. She is enter.
ing on duties entirely new to her-duties,
which she is all too often wholly untitled and
unprepared for. 1t is n woman's duty, as
we'll to herself as to her husband, that she
shall be strongly healthy in every way--par.
ticularly in those organs which are to be
called into play in bringing children into
the world. Weakness and disease of the
organs distinctively feminine undoubtedly
cause much of the misery, unhappinesS and
incompatibility Of married life. A woman
whose nerves are continually uagged with
torturing pains, whose vitality is low and
whose strength is unequal to her daily tasks
does not find it possible to be always ami.
able and cheerful. And yet amiabiitv,
chee rfuluess good looks and viyacity are
the things most expected by : husband
Every woman may have these things if she
will make and keep hercclf strong and
healthy. The way is simple. 1t leads to

that Mr.. Low Is unwilling to accept the

that thoy will havo no dealings with political

gested Is to lot Mr.. Low name tho candidates
for Comptroller ana President OF tho Council TO
run on the ticket with him. II they wero Sc
lccted as tho result OF political agreement tho
Cts managers could declare that they had no
part in that arrangement.
That the friends OF Mr.. Low should have been
in the majority at the meeting on Wednesday

labor men who started the NOV vement in his in

OF tho Cts Union.
Tho Rev. DIR. Parkhurst, who has on several
occasions stated that The favors restricted
legal sales OF beer and light winos on Sunday,
restnted his position this subject yesterday in
letter sent to Charles Stewart Smith as a
member of the Executive Committe of the Citi-
zens Union. DIR. Pnrkhurst says:
AS yon will perhaps remember. am inclined
to take as broad and generous grounds upon the
liquor question rs possible. Ihave not changed
my position since the conferences that We hcla
together n year and more ago. l cannot stand by
the Sunday saloon pure and simple. but l do be-
lieve in allowing the sale of beer and light wines
on Sunday. provided they are the accompaniment
OF an honest meal honestly paid for. am not sure
that this position Is one that can be turned to
practical account. The fact is that beer is GO
ing to be obtained on sundays by one means or
another. Whatever our own ideas and prefer
cnccs may be, there Is no use in legislating bo-
yond the point where legislation is going to ad.
nit of execution. Law is disgraced by being
enacted IL it is not also epforced. believe that
a considerable degree of leniency is not only eN-
pedient. but. which in my Judgment is more to
the point, Is right.
