Although several weeks have passed,
every woman is still talking about that
frightful fire in Paris and the wonder
full heroism shown by some of the la
dies. L don't wish to underrate any of
the bravery shown in facing death, l
would not for worlds seem to make less
the frightful pain endured by those
gentlewomen who heroically met death
in such horrible way, and yet when
] sit down and think and put aside all
sentiment l comprehend that they We're
obliged to suffer and probably realized
that salvation, as far as their bodies
were concerned, was impossible. There
have been great heroic actions by wo-
men. But, after all, can't anybody rise
superior TO everybody else once in a
life? The fine heroisms to my way of
thinking are those little ones that are
endured every day and of which the
world doesn't hear. The newspapers
gave a few lines TO a fine act of hero
ism the other day, just few lines.

Notwithstanding the old superstition
about the month of May there have
been a number of brilliant weddings
here. AT the marriage of Senator
Chambers niece. Miss Kate Chandler,
to Mr.. Henry Minot Cavis of Concord.
y. H. the pretty, ancient custom of
having gifts in the brides cake was
revived.
The bride herself cut the cake and
handed it around to her unmarried girl
friends. Each maiden selected a piece,
and amid much merriment and re-
joicinS Miss Phythian found in her por-
ton the lucky gold ring, denoting she
would be the next bride. and at once
was offered congratulations by her less
fortunate sisters. A young cousin OF

in her slice hidden away the silver shil-

One of the younger set, stylish
chappy, was on the forward seat, sand
WICKED in between the voluminous
skirts of two pairs of strange damsels.
The young fellow ceased masticating
the chewing gum that had occupied his
attention and struggled up, apparent
ly desiring to leave the car. The con-
ductor saw his movement and rang the
bell, but when the car stopped the
youth made no move to go, so the bell
was rung, and the car started onward
once more, the conductor paying no
further attention to the unfortunate,

After many Intellectual attempts the
young man disentangled himself from
the feminine garments that hemmed
him in and with a final effort leaned
far over the two ladies beside him and

secret dawned upon us all. The chappy

was his wont, by the fact that by the
