Is 1t UnIucky to Marry in May |?

| Nothing makes woman 80 superstl-
tlous as being in love. When she gets
engaged, that only makes matters
worse, and when the time rolls around
for the marriage day, she bumps up
gainst q whole battalion of supersti-
lions that attach themselves to we'd
dings, and some of which cling to those
who profess skepticism.
You don't find many girls getting
married on the 18th day of the month.
They may not believe that the day OF
the week can affect their future hap
piness, but they will choose 80 called
lucky days in preference to others.
Saturday is a day of ill omen. and
w. dnesday is the day of all others to
select.
As to months, May is proverbially
regarded as an unlucky month in
which to marry. April would not be
April without its Easter brides, and
June even outrivals it in popularity as
month for weddings. But most
brides Shun May.
The old rhyme runs:
Marry when the year is new,
Always loving. kind and true;
When February birds do mate
You may wed, nor dread your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow,
Joy and sorrow bOta you II know.
Marry in April when you can,
Joy for maiden and for man;
Marry in the month of May.
You will surely rue the day,
Marry when June roses blow.
Over land and sea you go.
They who in July wed
Must labor always for their bread;
Whoever wed in August be,
Many a change are sure to see.
Marry in September 3 shine.
Your living will be rich and fine
If in October you do marry,
Love will come, but riches tarry;
Only joy will come. remember;
If you wed in bleak November.
When December's SHOWS fall fast,
Marry, and true love will last.
You may scoff at all this as utter
| nonsense, says the Washington Times,
but it may surprise you to hear that
the superstition that May is an unlucky
month in which to get married is nine
teen hundred years old.
Ovid, the post of Rome, of the time
of Christ, alludes to it.
The superstition has been handed
down through ages, and in many c0un
tries,

TO CLEANSE WHITE LACE.
IF Slightly Soile6 Let Lie in Magnesia
Over Night and Use CASTLE
Soap When Necessary.

White lace if soiled but slightly may
be cleaned by rubbing in corn meal,
magnesia or corn starch and then, after
allowing the lace to remain in the meal
over night. by brushing carefully with
clean brush.
II the lace has become discolored by
perspiration it can be whitened thus:
Soak in solution of CASTLE soap ten min
utes, then place in the sun. still sat
urated with the soap solution, and re-
peat the process until the original color
is restored. 1t is absolutely necessary
to have the effect CT the sunlight; soap
and water alone will not suffice. If the
lace be soiled evenly in all parts with
out any special stains, make solution
OF tepid water, using white CASTLE or
some other simple, reliable white soap.
Put the lace into this and shake it up
and down, changing the water as soon
as it is the least discolored; do this until
the lace assumes its original color and
the water remains clean. Then gently
press it between the palms of the hands
never wiring it-and rinse in several
clean tepid waters; never use either hot
or cold water.
If it be necessary to stiffen the lace
into the water put small amount Of
sugar; just enough to make the water
feel sticky. Or if more stiffness be de-
sired, dissolve two or three kernels of
gum arabic in a pint of lukewarm wa
ter. Let the lace soak in this five or
ten minutes. then press between the
hands again and pat until partially dry.
Now it is ready for pinning; this is
the part that requires patience and is
the important element of the whole
process. Secure a board the length of
the lace if possible; cover smoothly and
tightly with at least two thicknesses of
flannel. Pull the lace into shape most
carefully and place right side down on
the flannel. Pin evenly on each point
or scallop on both sides. being careful
not to pull the lace too tightly. but just
tight enough. After it is done go over
it again and you may find places for
20 more pins.
Let the lace remain pinned about IL
hours; then remove pins; with fine
needle pick out each little bead, and you
will have piece of lace that looks like

RESCUED FROM OBLIVION.
The Graves of the Men Killed in
Battle Of Trenton Finally
Cared For.

If sorrow comes to those in the sunny
land on the other side of the Styx, then
the shades of the revolutionary heroes
must have been saddened for many years
past by the neglect of the nation to care
for the last resting place of the men who
fell in the fight at Trenton. when Wash
ington crossed the Delaware and fell on
the unsuspecting Hessians. On the bank
of the river near the spot where the his
torical crossing was made nearly hun
dred dead were buried in soldiers graves
when the victorious colonials returned
to the Pennsylvania side of the Della
ware. The graves were marked with
small slabs of stone taken from one of
the quarries in the vicinity, and the
army passed on. to fight and win once
more. AS years rolled on the little
group of graves on the bank of the Della
ware was forgotten. The spot is lone
ly one on the edge of wheat field, far
from the beaten track of travel, and no
one was likely to pass that way but an
occasional hunter or fisherman. AS the
trees grew bigger and the grass and
weeds more wild. the modest little slabs
of stone were hidden from view entirely,
and there was danger that the burial
ground of the patriotic dead would be
forgotten entirely and the brown head
pieces be taken for the ordinary encum-
brances of the land and hurled into the
Delaware by some thoughtless tiller of
the soil
To the credit of Bccks county be it re-
corded that some patriot recalled that
the dead soldiers were buried on the spot,
and feeble effort was made to preserve
