RUN POSTPONED
Holy Cross Athletes are no Mud
Travellers

The oross-oeuntry run of Holy Cross
students which was to have taken
place yesterday, was postponed until
tomorrow. on account of the weather
and condition of the roads. At the
hour when the start had been fixed,
rain was falling heavily, and the roads
were covered with mud. 1t was the
intention of the management to hold
the run regardless of conditions, but at
the last minute, postponement was
lecided on, as the task would be too
great for the students on account of
it being the first run of the series.

sponge. 1t is obtained by divers. who
go clad In armor when diving. Spong-
es are usually obtained by fishing for
them. When a sponge vessel arrives
at the fishing grounds in the Bahamas
II is anchored, and the crew imme-
diately get ready for work. The
sponge fishers outfit consists of a
small boat called "dingey." long
hook. and a water glass. The sponge
hook is a three-pronged iron fork at
tached to the end OF long pole; the
water glass is simply wooden water
bucket with a bottom OF common win
dow glass. To use it. the glass bottom
is thrust into the water. the fisherman
puts the ball around his neck, and then
burles his head deep in the bucket to
exclude the light There are always
two men to each dingey. one to act as
'sculler." and the other as hooker" q"
While the sculler propels the dingey
along very slowly the hooker, in a
kneeling position. keeps his head in
the water glass. looking down in the
water. When a good sponge is sighted
the hooker gives signal and the din
gey stops. Together the sculler and
hooker thrust the sponge hook down
through the water and run 1t under the
sponge, the roots are thus pulled
loose from the rocks. and soon the
game is in the dingey. Thus the work
goes on until a boatload is obtained,
and then they are taken ashore and
placed in crawls to be cured. The
crawls are built by sticking pieces of
brush or stakes into the sand just out
of the water or where 1t is very shall
low. They remain In the crawls while
undergoing Il aceration, and the refuse
is carried away in the ebb and flow OF
the tide. Usually they are left In the
crawls for a week: then the fishermen
remove them and give them a beating
for the purpose of removing all chance
impurities. After the beating they are
thoroughly cleansed and are ready for

Ten Thousand Dolisrs Each Not Count
Ing the House rurai>hfurs-
An eastern society woman. who IS
unusually clever at figures. has been
considering the cost of smart
weddings. and after adding one
expense with another has reach
ed staggering total figure
Her investigation took into account
only what might be regarded as the
average swell function of this sort, and
she finds that $4,000 is about whst
must be considered as the necessary
figure. OF course. affairs such as the
Marlborough wedding represent per
haps ten times that amount. These,
however. are exceptional cases. al
though they also so to show the pos
slbllities Of expenditure in this direc-
ton. In ordinary swell weddings the
outlay can hardly be kept inside OF Ave
figures. First the bride must have
wedding gown. 4 nis may be worth
anywhere from 500 to-well, 5000,
1t depends upon the quality OF the ma
terial, the kind OF lace. and the stand
Ing of the eoutouriere. Few gowns OF
fashionable brides cost less than $500.
Cut this price in half and you have
$3.50. Then, there must be going

such as hats, gloves. shoes. etc. II
is safe TO assume that what the average
bride wears viii cost papa $1,000. Then
consider the gifts which the girl re-
ceives from relatives and friends.
Z
gives her an exquisite bit OF jewelry
that will be worth from $1,000 to
IS 600; mother always does the same.
and perhaps father buys the couple a
house for $4,000 or $4,000. Here we
have something like $500 more. ex-
elusive of the hundreds of other pres
ents outside OF the family They may
mean anywhere from 81 900 to S12.000.
Now, consider the cost OF the breakfast
or reception. of the decoration Of the
church and the house gifts to the
maids of honor and bridesmaids. a
luncheon to them. etc. These items
may be regarded as incidentals, as they
really are the least expensive features
of weddings. as a rule. An average of
$1,000 is quite small. Unless the groom
gives the wedding-that sometimes
occurs. when the brides family has
very little of the worlds goods--his
end of the expense is considerably
smaller. His gifts to the bride, the
ushers. etc, his outfit and his fees to
the clergymen. etc, and his expendi-
ture in travelling will certainly average
81 500. Even If the home Is bought
by the brides family it is safe to as
sumo that he will spend at least 81 900
in furnishing 1t. Probably he might
buy the home, but this will not be as
sumed in this estimate. Incidental
expenses will be probably $500 more.
So here is an average that might be
given:
