AN INTERESTING ADDRESS.

AN INTERESTING ADDRESS.
 A very interesting address was given at Wykeham Rise on Tuesday after. noon of this week by Miss Corolina Marcial, charming and highly edu. cated young lady from Spain. Miss Marcial was a pupil in the first Span ish College for Women, known as the International Institute for Girls in Spain, and expects soon to take her degree of B. A. from the Government Institute in Madrid. Miss Bowman of Boston introduced Miss Marcial to the audience. The address was not only bright and entertaining, but itShowed the conditions of affairs in Spain in re- gard to the education of women. The Spanish girl has no chances for know ledge, such as the American girl has. Miss Marcial drew most vivid word picture of the life of the Spanish maiden, and pleaded most eloquently for the aid of America towards up. lifting and developing the educational advantages of the girls of Spain.

White for the Bride

The h. white wedding gown is so orthodox that
few brides ever stop to question its origin, but
IT is the lovely and Inflated Mary Queen of
Scots to to whom the modern bride owes the first
idea of:wearing white for the bridal ceremony.
In 1858 when Mary married Francis II of
France :she wore white brocade,s over which was
mantle Of heavy blue velvet: When herss boy
husband died. the Queen again wore whitese- this
time as sniourring and, the strange fancy earned
for her the sobriquet of Ga Refine Blanche"
White wedding gowns were at first only worn
by brides of high rank, but towards the end of
the seventeenth century the custom became usual
with all classes, and has continued in favor down
to our own days.

CRAPSEY DENIES
THE VIRGIN BIRTH

New York, Nov. 20.--The Cfapsey
case has attracted much attention
since the publication Of Dr. Crapsey's
book, Religion and Politics." DR..
Crapsey in his sermons and writings.
questioned the virgin birth Of Jesus
He also commended that there were fall
lacies in other belisfs and doctrines
forming the foundation of the Protes-
tant Episcopal church. DR.. Crapsey
commended he had preached only ac-
cording to what he believed to be true.
The decision of the court of review ap-
parently brings the Crapsey case to
an end.
Under the ruling Crapsey will be sus-
! pended from bearing the functions of a
minister of the Protestant Episcopal
| church until such time as his re-
! ligious teachings conform to the doc
| trines of the apostles and nicete
| creeds.
The decision was delivered by Bishop
Walker and will be sent to DR..
Crapsey at Rochester. Bishop Walker
said that out Of personal regard for
Dr. Crapsey he would not make the
1
cision of the trial court which Is af-
firmed by the highest court of the
church. was as follows:
THAT the respondent, DIR. Crapsey
be suspended from exercising the fonc-
1 tons OF a minister Of the church unit:
such time as he shall satisfy the &C.
clesiastfcal authority or the diocese
that his belief and teachings conform
to the doctrine Of the apostles creed
and the creed as the church hath re-
\ viewed the. same. However. we ex-
press the earnest hope and desire that
the respondent may see his way clear
during the thirty days, which under
the canon OF the church. must inter-
vene, before sentence can be. pro-
nounced, to fully satisfy the ecclesias-
teal authority Of such Conformity On
his part"
