Mrs. Bryan's Address.

When Mrs. Bryan was received by
the Woman's Democratic Club of New
York, in response to calls for a
speech she said: II might have felt
confused but for the rule that exists
in our family that during campaign
times Mr.. Bryan is to do all the talk
ing. While ! can make no extended
remarks, there are two things which
may touch on with propriety. | may
first bring you the greetings of dem
ocrats from other parts of this coun-
try And. although a woman usually
conceals her age, shall take you into
my confidence and tell you that TWEEN
ty-five years ago concluded there was
not room enough In one household for
two ambitions like mine and Mr.. Bry-
ans. have, therefore. merged my
own in his and out of this has grown
a very close association"

A Tardy Act of Justice.

Marriages between English actresses
and men of high social position be-
gan in the eighteenth century, if no
earlier. There was Lavinia Fenton,
the Polly Peachum of Gays "Beggar's
OPERA" who became Duchess of Boil
ton; there was Miss Farren, who mar
ried Lord Derby; also Miss Brunton
became Lady Craven not long before
Lord Thurlow married Miss Bolton.
Earliest of the list, though. comes the
Earl of Peterborough, who married
Anastasia Robinson, the singer. ard
kept the marriage secret until few
days before his death in St James
palace, when he assembled his relatives
and friends and publicly acknowledged
the woman Ito whom he owed the
best and happiest hours of his life," a
tardy act of justice that caused the
lady to swoon away.

London Bakers In 1910.

In 1910 we find the following Bow
bakeresses accused of selling halfpen-
ny loaves deficient in weight: Sara
Foting, Christina Terrice, Godiyeva
Foting, Matilda de Bolingtone, Chris
tina Prichet, Isabella Sporting, Alice
Pegges, Johanna de Countebrigge and
Isabella Pouveste. One wonders why
the husbands were not summoned. In
a similar case in 1916, when Agnes
Foting's bread was seized, 1t was lad
judged that her bread should be for
feited and given to the prisoners in
Neugate because her husband did not
come to avow (ownl the bread" Are
we to assume that in the absence of
the husbands the bread was merely
forfeited without the infliction of a
fine? An indication of the importance
of the breadmaking business is also
found in an enactment of the reign of
Henry III. to the effect that "every
cart of Bremble Brombley- Bow or
Stevenhethe (Stepneyl that comes into
the city with bread shall pay each
day halfpenny."-S James Gazette

its readiness to buy ten carloads OF

firm is to build up a market for eggs,

have a broader and more productive
field than those of Taylor. Why, then,
has not Bryan a cold storage plant

sured of a market the year round the
output of dairy and poultry products
would greatly increase.
