The Early Autumn yyedd,,o

The time is rapidly approaching for the
early autumn wedding and word along
this line may be amiss. The invitations
should be issued about three weeks before
the date fixed for the ceremony, and they
should be accented or declined with as
little delay as possible. so that the hostess
may have plenty OF time for making COM
plete arrangements. II the wedding party
is to be small. that is, numbering about a
dozen, the invitations may be written,
but otherwise. it is correct to issue the
invitations on special cards with silver
lettering, and with spaces for the names.
They can be bought at most stationers.

the invitation cards will be followed by

Few American women have achieved
more celebrity or even more popular admir-
alton in life of equal length than did Miss
Kate Field. Without being a great or
specially gifted woman she was brilliant
and versatile. and possessed talents and
personal qualities that enabled her to win
applause and make friends. Some Of her
qualities of the popular and spectacular
kind were perhaps inherited from her
parents, both of whom were stage
people. Although Miss Field advocated
many good causes and engaged in
many Undertakings she did not achieve
great success in anything, perhaps be-
cause she attempted too many. But she
was an interesting. lovable woman. This
memoir of her by Lillian Whiting is mod
estly entitled "a Record" 1t is also a
eulogy Miss Whiting Is constitutionally
to be an impartial biographer
by her tendency to extreme admiration and
lavish praise. These are generous faults.
but they detract from the merits of a BIZ
ography However, they do not prevent
this memoir from being an interesting
book, though it contains considerable sur
plusage and needless detail. The Journal
has already printed liberal extracts from
the book, but those who wish to know
more concerning Miss Field should read
the book itself. Boston: Little, Brown

JAPANESE ARMY.


Army and Navy Journal
Consumption and universal liability to
military service has existed in Japan since
1877. The service is three years with the
colors, four more on permanent furlough in
the reserve of the active army, five years in
the landwehr or mobile militia. and the
remaining eight years i'm the landstrum or
sedentery militia. The young Japanese who
has passed certain educational standard
and engaged to feed and clothe himself dur
ing his service is required to serve for one
year only, subject to his making himself
efficient These young men furnish class
of officers for the militia.
Japan's system is also strictly territorial,
like the German. The total numbers serv-
ing with the colors in 1898 were, in round
figures, 5000 officers and $4,000 non-con-
missioned officers and men. But the Japan
csc army is undergoing a continuous and
steady increase. AT the end of 1884 the num-
bers were $500 officers and $1,000 men; so
that the strength was increased by more
than 5000 men within three years This
increase has been effected by gradually add
ing to the number of conscripts enrolled
in each year. 1t is intended that the opera
ton shall be completed by 1901 by which
time the effective of the army will have
nearly doubled itself and will consist of
forty squadrons, 40 field and mountain bat
teries and 156 battalions of inafantry. be-
sides pioneers and military train, muster
ing altogether $500 officers, 1900 non-com-
missioned officers and 10000 men. The
territories of the existing six divisions
will become army corps districts, each sub
divided into divisional brigade. regimental
and finally battalion districts, the last
named being the recruiting areas on which
the whole superstructure is based.
