1t is said that new matrimonial reg
ulations of the Catholic Church are to
go into effect after Easter by order of
the Pope. These require that Catholics
shall sign contracts when they become
engaged-written agreements in the pres
ence of witnesses. The engagement
then becomes binding, and is published
in the church as the banns are now
published several Sundays before a
wedding. After the engagement is
published in the church the young peo-
pie entering into the agreement must
carry it out unless they can show to the
bishop of the diocese good reason why
it should be broken. The bishop can
then issue dispensation and agreement
to break the engagement must be signed
10y both parties in the presence of wit
nesses, Just as it was made.
Seldom has it been the good fortune
OF the people of Island Pond to listen tc
more finished and genuinely good con.
cert than that which the Commonwealth
Ladies Orchestra gave at the opera house
last Tuesday evening. 1t was the open
ing number of the lecture course and
the committee certainly presented q
high grade attraction. Ashton Lewis
the conductor, showed perfect mastery
of the violin while the work of the other
soloists was clean cut and pleasing
The soprano had a high, clear voice
and showed such control of it as be
tokened only the most thorough training
The audience waited patiently until aft
er 8 O'Clock, the company having jumped
FROM Springfield, Mass, but all felt am
ply repaid. The committee is to b'
congratulated on the general excellence
Of their opening number.
