The first wedding anniversary Is ar
Important occasion TO a young married
couple. Because they Know so little
about 1t, they think they have settled
down into the condition of 'old mar.
ried people" and are entirely accus
toned to their dual life. TO show this
clearly they feel it desirable to have
some sort of celebration of the fact
that they have actually been husband
and wife for year.
But it Is not enough to make the eel
ebration a mere gathering together of
their friends to spend an evening con-
templating spectacle of mutual fe-
licity. There must be something done
to entertain them. And since the first
anniversary Is, by common consent, the
cotton wedding, the party must be of
an appropriate character.
A rather unusual method of bringing
this about is n sheet and pillow ca Sc
party, which is also a domino party.
This should not be of the old-fashioned
kind, in which the costumes were awk-
ward and unbecoming, but one in
which the accepted dress is arranged
In graceful fashion. For both men and
women the sheets may be put on in
the same way. The width is passed
around the body just below the arm
pits, the two corners brought to the
back, crossed, then each drawn up over
the Shoulder and secured in front with
q pin. This length Of the sheet falls
straight all around. IF it Is too long,
part Of it may be folded below the
chest. Rather large sheets should be
chosen, that there may be plenty of
fullness and a certain degree of grace.
After the sheet is on, the women may
use what they choose in the way Of
flowers or ribbons for ornamentation.
The men-poor creatures.-must can
tent themselves with simply the plain

Wives COMPLAIN of Golf.

Judging from the number of com.

which appear every week in an Eng.

ranked among the most neglectful Of
husbands. Golf, we are told, has par.
alyzed the enterprise and energy Of
many breadwinners. Every moment
which at one time was given by the
golfer to the companlonship of his wife
and family is spent on the links. His
conversation Is confined to mere club.

literature save that in the golfing

wives complain bitterly that they have
sunk TO the level of mere housekeepers

ty-one children, has proved a record
smasher in athletic sports. On May 13,
this young woman took the American
girls running high jump record from
Nassar by Il jump of four feet three
and three-tenths inches. The jump
was made in the final gymnastic ex-
hibitlon of the State Normal School. in
the presence Of Director Angel and
others assembled to witness the events.
Miss Carpenters achievement was not
the result of happy accident. She is
as fond of athletics rs most girls are
of flirting. She is q sprinter, and Oh
the horizontal bar is fearless and clev-
er. Miss Carpenter Is rot of the mas
culine type, but frolicsome, girlish
young woman, with the irresistible
charms of dlmples and pink cheeks.
She weighs 11S pounds, and is five feet
two and one-half inches high, prom
ising greater height as she grows old

lege she played centre and with her
aid the team won the championship cf

career as an athlete has just begun.
She intends, she says, to keep on with
her gymnastic and athletic work until
she has qualified herself to the best of
her ability. Then, unless something
happens (the quotations are ours) she
aspires to become full-nedged physi-
cal dlrectress. As it now stands, I'M
