gle blessed ones when they thus meet to
celebrate their good fortune. One of the
bright American girls of the Beaux-Arts
colony has proposed to celebrate the tri-
uInphal entrance of women folk into the
Ie.npie OF Art, that the bachelor men,
bers of their number should revive this
OLD French custom in their own circle.
The idea has been received with great
enthusiasm, n now a. the fair maid

their 1niler consciousness all sorts of
quaint headgear or searching in heavy
musty tombs for faithful copies of old
world fashion, and others again are

the result of this idea will be most uni

projectors of the exhibition are confident
that their own goods will not suffer from
comparison that will result.
1t is probable that no exposition pro-
Ject was ever inaugurated under more
favorable circumstances. Lord Blyths-
wood, one of the best usiness men of
Scotland, has accepted the active presi-
dency and both Queen Victoria and the
fflnce OF wales have consented to act as
patrons of the exposition. The foreign
office is using it's influence to persuade
other governments to give their sympa-
thy If not their active cooperation to the
work and, is more to the purpose
at the outset, there will be no lack of
available funds. Already the city of
Glasgow has raised a guarantee fund of
nearly $1,000, 900 and it is expected tina
parliament will appropriate freely to the
enterprise. Under these circumstances
there is no reason to believe that the at
fair will not be a great and unqualified
success.
The last great exhibition that was held
in Glasgow was in 1888 and the exposition
of 1901 will be located on the same site.
The site is n of exceptional beauty and
sixty-seven acres and comprises the en-
tire western portion of K~elvingrove
Park and the clubhouse grounds.
Through the grounds the river Kelvin
twists and turns most picturesquely
while. on one side, rise the slopes of Gill
morehill, crowned by the massive and
beautiful university buildings. A site
better suited for such an exposition
could not possibly have been selected.
The great exhibition of 1888 was of a
most general character n it is intend
ed that the coming exposition shall sur
pass it in it's wide scope. While it is pri-
marily Intended to illustrate the charac-
ter of British products there will be no
such limitations placed upon it's displays.
OF course, this first object will be car
ried out to it's fullest extent, and the re-
sources of the British empire will be rep
resented as never before. All the pro-
ducts and manufactures of the kingdom
will be shown.
The colonies will be called upon to send
the best possible exhibits and the finest
fruits of the arts and labors of the sons
and daughters of Victoria will thus be
gathered together. These features alone
would constitute an exhibition that
would we'll repay a trip of thousands of

this is to be but one of the many features
of the exposition it is possible to obtain
a slight idea of its breadth and scope.
Already arrangements have been made
to transfer many of the largest exhibits
at Paris to Glasgow and few Of the gov
ernments that will contribute to the sue
cess of the French exposition will fail to

In some respects the Glasgow X posi-
ton will be modelled after that of Paris.

ton, including, of course, the automobile
and the submarine boat; electricity in all
it's branches; machinery. and all labor
saving devices; mining; marine engin-
eer1ng; forestry: sports; woman's work,
and scores of other sections so arranged
as to cover with remarkable complete
ness every branch of human achieve
ment.
According to the plans that have been
accepted the exhibition buildings will
cover more than fifteen acres and, if this
space is not sufficient, room has been left
for the erection of other buildings. In
making their plans the architects have
been guided by a sense of harmony that
VIII make every structure a work of art
fully in keeping with the beautiful Mus
cum of Fine Arts that is to be erected at
the same time and that is to remain as a
permanent memorial of what is intended
to be one of the most comprehensive ex-
positions the world has ever witnessed
So far as identifying the grounds is con-
cerned. however, the exhibition officials
will have little to do. Already Kelvin

places of Europe and the art of the land

| upon the artistic effect of it's ornamental
flower plots, it's wide sweep of terraces
and the general arrangements of it's

In addition to all this, however, the
Glasgow exposition is to be made the
occasion for a gathering of students of
political problems from all parts of the
world. This does not imply that the
radical opponents Of the various politi-
cal isms are to be permitted to make life
unsafe in Glasgow. 1t does not mean

SAINT GATHERINGS DAY.
THE 18TH OF NOVEMBER IS CELEB RATED ALL OVER FRANCE AS 1.-THE
DAY OF OLD MAIDS"

been chosen as the patron of old maids

Saints we find many instances of saints

Glasgow, Nov. 8.-While the great ex-
position at Paris in 1900 will probably not
be overshadowed for many years to
come, preparations are already being
made for another big show to be opened
In Glasgow, Scotland, on May l, 1901. The
appropriations have been made, the
plans have been approved, the buildings
are being erected and every effort is be-
ing made to see that nothing is neglected
that would add to the success of the en-
terprise. While the Glasgow exposition
may not be as great as the exhibition at
Paris it will certainly be of sufficient
Importance to attract worldwide atten-
tion.
It was nearly a year ago that the pro-
posal to hold such an exposition was first
made. For some time the merchants.
manufacturers and shipowners of Scot
I'M had been expressing alarm at the
serious injury to British and Colonia
trade arising from the continued extern
sion of foreign competition. America
and Germany We're succeeding in captur-
ing markets in which Great Britain had
long been pre-eminent and it was real
lied that some action must be taken to
stop the tide nat seemed to threaten the
commercial interest of the nation.
The practical result of this feeling of
alarm will be shown in the Glasgow ex-
position where the men who make and
the men who sell goods will gather from
all parts of the United Kingdom and will
exert themselves to show the world that
Great Britain is second to no nation in
business enterprise n manufacturing
achievements In order that this fact
may be more fully exemplified other ma
tions ave been invited to send their
choicest products to Scotland and the

that anarchists and nihilists are to be re-
celVed with open arms but only that the
hundreds of brilliant men who are striv-
ing to make the world better and hap
pier by means of political reforms nat
urally brought about will have an oppor-
tunity to meet each other and compare
notes. A more suitable place for such a
political congress could scarcely be Sug-
gested, for no city in the world furnishes
a better illustration of the effect of
somewhat radical political methods car
ried to their fullest extreme.
Years ago the city officials of Glas-
gov determined to own their own water
supply. A few years later the same
principle of municipal ownership was
applied to gas. Now not only water and
gas are supplied direct by the city but
electricity as well. The street car SER
vice is now in the hands of the munici-
pality. Great public markets are run by
the city and many of the greatest enter
prises, such as the harbor and dock
yards, the ferries and steamers that ply
the river are all municipalenterprises.
At the present time the question of the
advantages Or disadvantages to be de-
rived from municipal ownership consti
tute a question that represents one of
the widest fields of political discussion.
In Glasgow the trust is discouraged as
in no other city in the world and stu
dents of politics who attend this con-
gress Will have an opportunity to ex-
anime a practical application of some Of
the most radical reforms that have yet
been projected as a remedy for the evil
of too great accumulation of wealth.
Such questions, however, will prove of
interest ever to those who are not to be
properly regarded as political reformers.
Good citizens, from whatever part of the
world they may come, will be glad to
study Glasgow's methods of administer
ing her affairs and will be able to profit
by her success if the method should show
itself to be a wise one.
Under these circumstances, therefore.
it is safe to say that 1901 viii prove to be
q memorable year for the city of Glas-
gov. During the exposition of 1888 more
than six million people visited h city
the actual profits of the exhibition
were more than $3.50, 900. There seems to
be every indication that the exposition
of 1901 will be even more successful.

In the different parts of the country
are to be found many quaint customs

some places, on the eve of the feast. all
the old maids of the locality gather
together in a regular Saint GATHERINGS
party. Each Ions a couture more or
less picturesque, some with a laudable
vanity, appear with the daintiest poufs
of lace and ribbon. others go in for the
humorous style and sport the most gi-
gantic constructions of starched linen
and lace or embroidery that they can put
together.
Again. and to my mind this is the
prettiest idea of all. some organize a
reunion at which it is de rigueur to APP
pear in authentic peasant caps and no
two alike. In the most artistic irregu-
larity are to be seen, h~obnobbing togeth-
err in the most friendly way, the high
caps of Normandy, the pretty broad loops
of the North Breton woman, and the
finely luted coiffures of the Western
Breton girl. Again the soft, round frills
of Touraine and the picturesque scrap or
lace enclosed by broad bands OF velvet of
the handsome and stately Arlesiennes,

handkerchiefs, SO coquettishly arranged,
