The Dramatic Review in a recent is

Fitz has given to the public occasional
compositions of rare charm, which
have met with responsive appreciation,
she achieved the highest encomium of
her work when ut the farewell concert

Lucky wedding Days.

Superstition is accountable for the
selection of the different seasons of the
year or particular days for the celebra-
ton of our weddings. and we are in
debted for this superstition to the an
clients. The Athenians regarded win
ter as the favorable time. Euripides
was i'll favor of the full moon, Hesiod
of the new moon. The Romans had
their favorable and unfavorable days.
The calends. the nones and the ides of
each month were considered unfavor-
able for the marriage ceremonies, as
were the months of February and May.
June was well esteemed by all and is
still held in greatest favor among most
nations.

Watterson Moody in The Ladies' Home
Journal are based on the marked diff
ference in the way the different ma
tionalities of women visitors at the
Paris exposition last summer treated
the problem OF clothes. The English
women were gowned with the utmost
regard for utility and comfort. The
American and French women appeared
In toilets of silk, satin and lace which
properly had no place whatever in the
exposition grounds. But while the
Frenchwomen's clothes were as beau
tiful as the American women's and
fuller of that lndescribable charm call
ed style, they were not nearly so costly.
The cost of dressing grows greater
every year, and the shifts of fashion
are prompter and more imperative.
Where the English woman goes plainly
dressed with a serene mind the Ameri-
can woman keeps up with the fash
ion," but lines her face with anxious
thought as TO how IL shall all be man
aged. Our last seasons gowns, per-
fectly fresh and just as pretty and suit
able as ever, are altered and recut and
retrimmed at the cost of many dollars
and much time and hard work, not be-
cause they need ii, not because we
want to either, but simply because Mrs.
Wood across the way and Mrs. Pope in
the next street are doing the same
thing, and they are doing it because
we are! The truth is we American
women not only lay too much empha-
sis upon dress. so that it takes quite too
prominent n place in our scheme of
life, but we also spend too much money
on dress

Mrs. William Campbell is the golf
instructor on the public links in Bos-
ton. Her husband was greenkeeper of
the public links for several years pre-
vious to his death last summer. The
care of the golf grounds then devolved
upon Mrs. Campbell for the rest of the
season, as no suitable greenkeeper
could be found. So satisfactory were
her services that she has since been
made the supervisor of golf in Boston
and was appointed official instructor
and greenkeeper this spring. She is n
