OUT AND ABOUT.

The wedding of Miss Edith A. Boyden
and Gilbert R. Holway, which was to
have taken place this noon at Trinity
chureh~has been changed, owing to the
death of Mrs. George S. Rogers, a rel
atiye of one Of the contracting parties.
Owing to the aff1iction, the ceremony
viii be quite private, and will be per-
formed at the residence of the bride,
81 Fruit street, this evening, in the
presence of only the members of the
families Of the parties.
American wife, proposes that there
shall be worlds fair in the Eternal
city in 1919, run on the plan of an open
corporation BY this means, he says,
the government would be supplied with
the funds necessary to complete the
public works begun in Rome, but never
finished, and to carry on the forum
excavations, which have been brought
to a partial standstill for lack of money.
The double attraction of worlds ex-
position and the antiquities of a city of
Rome's memories, would be powerful,
but the big fair would have to be held
in the winter, early spring or fall, for
Rome IS not exactly summer resort,
and then American patronage would
be slight. School keeps on the North
American continent from October to
June, and without the American tour
list, the Roman exposition would be a
fizzle.
Mrs. I. c. Bates and Mrs. Francis

French capital.
The engagement is announced of D.

Rev. Daniel F. McGillicuddy will re-
view The Gadfy' in the literary col
umns of The Spy. next Sunday. Although
as play, it fell fiat upon the public, its
dramatization reacted upon the novel

don't know how many Impressions A
Few days before the play was produced
in New York, somebody had the curl
osity to take copy to FIR. Lavelle. the
head priest at the Roman Catholic ca
lneQfal. lie bounced upon 1t, declar-
ing that whereas many books are bad
in parts or bad for certain people, this
book was bad per Sc. Could anything
have been more delicious for Mrs. Voy-
Mich, the author, or her publishers
But it speaks volumes for the quality
of the play that even with all this free
shouting it failed to enlist the sympa-
thies and Docketbooks of the public.
Impression ~ the way, is com
Ing to be substituted for edition. An
edition may be large or small, and a
book that has passed through five edi-
lions may really not have been dupli-
Gated SO many times as a book that is
in its first edition. Such and-such has
passed into its Tooth edition impresses
the public nightly. The substitution of
impression for edition makes for exact
ness and honesty.
