DIRECTOR OF THE WEDDING
Boston Woman a Pioneer in New oc-
cupation for Women-A Much
Needed Person.

Awide awake woman in Boston
has found a new outlet for wem-
ans activity by taking charge Of
weddings. On the day of the mar
riage ceremony the bride and the
brides mother are generally too
busy and too tired to give
much attention to the man
agement of details. AS a helper
in this household emergency the
wedding director fills a long felt
want. The name of this pioneeris
Mrs. Nellie Blifins, and she lives
with her husband and daughter on
Boston's aristocratic Beacon
street.
Mrs. Blifins' method is to get to
the house early and to give her
first attention to the trousseau.
She sees tot that the dress, gloves
and slippers are just right, She
then takes charge of the packing.
The bride eats her luncheon in
comfort knowing that everything
she needs will be in her bags and
trunks, carefully inyentoried in a
little book as to its precise loca
ton.
Mrs. Blifins is at the church
door before the marriage cere.
mony, to give the last touches to
the brides gown before the bride
enters the church. The girls
mother is even saved from having
to see that the rooms are put in or
der after the newly-wedded wife
has gone on her wedding tour.
Mrs. Blifiins attends to all that.
The value of the work of the
wedding director is best attested
by the popularity it has attained.
Most of her business, Mrs Blifins
says, comes indirectly. 1t has
grown on the principle of the ad-
yertisement of a certain merchant
some years ago: "If you don't like
it, tell me; if you do like it, tell
Others"
At first many people were in
clined to pooh-pooh the idea of a
wedding director. Now, however,
they have learned that even to run
a wedding properly takes some ex
pert knowledge. Mrs. Blifins is
a student of design and decorative
art, as well as of changing fash
ions. frequent visits to New York
and occasional ones to Paris en-
able her to bring back ideas Of how
they manage these things in other
places. But more valuable yet are
the many suggestions her WON
ans wit and her woman's taste en-.
able her to add to the convenience
or the beauty of the wedding.

HOLLAND COWS in FAMILY.
In That Country They Are as Much
a Part of Family as Is Pig
in Ireland.

In Holland cows are as much a
part of the family as the Irish
mans pig, for one member of the
family always sleeps in the stable
to watch, and often the place is
made a sort of family sitting
room.
The COW stable is generally a
large building paved with brick,
upon W.,cd The cows lie, straw be-
ing scarce. There is a brick-paved
passage down the center, at one
end of which is a fireplace, and the
windows IRE covered with white
curtains as dainty as those used
III the house proper.
Sometimes an entire family will
gather in the stable in the even
ings, enjoying the warmth of the
fire and exchanging the talk of the
DAY, and the cattle, always placed
with their heads facing the CEN
trail passage, chew their cuds and
almost seem to enjoy the human
companionship. These cows are
seldom brown, most of them being
either black or white, or of the two
colors mixed, and because of the
fertility of the pasturage and the
care taken in their keep they are
capable of giving large yields OF
rich milk. In no place in the world
are cows made as much of, and
from the annual yield of butter il
would seem that the care is mol
taken in vain.
