New Seaports Planned For,

The next quarter of century will
bring about the making of more than
one important new seaport along the
Atlantic coast of America and will
just as surely reduce the Importance
of some other ports. No coastal city
can afford to go to sleep resting Sc
renely upon the belief that natural geo.
graphical advantage will assure per.
petual and uninterrupted trade expan.
sion by land and sea. There are al
ready instances where the natural ad.
vantages possessed by one city have
been to a great extent over-reached by
artificial betterments contrived by
some other city, and this struggle for
supremacy by the opening of short
cut water routes and new railroad con.
nections will certainly be carried on
more theoretically in the next
two decades.

Fred Carpenter Is Amusement Mentor

Carpenter takes the place of one.
With Carpenter it has become sci
ence.
Perhaps the role of critic may de-
tract from his own amusement, for
when he visits performance Mr..
Carpenter looks at it entirely through
the eyes of his chief. How would
the president enjoy this?" is his view
point-and from that viewpoint he
rules. Fearing that he might mis-
take, having recommended a certain
play to the president, he attends a
second time, this time not to watch
the play, but its effect on the presi-
dent. If it is what it should be, Car
penter heaves a sigh of contentment
and departs for home.
All of which makes Carpenter
man greatly courted by the theatrical
managers. They send him invitations,
for himself and Mrs. Carpenter. And,
although there is no Mrs. Carpenter,
the secretary having avoided the
rocks of matrimony, these invitations
are usually accepted. There is no
halfway efforts on the part of the
company when Carpenter attends.
That's when they put themselves to
their prettiest PAGES.

T. RED w. CARPENTER, secretary
/ to the president, has accumulated
another dignity with it's rewards and
responsibilities. He is the official
amusement mentor of the White
House. President Taft is fond of the
theater; so is Mrs. Taft; but a poor
performance or even a mediocre one
affects them just as it does other peo-
pie who put up their money to see a
show, and they hate to make a mis-
take in the matter. For the appear
ance of the president and his party
at theater is an event, and to leave
before the curtain drops on the last
act would do grave injury to the the
alter in question. And not to leave
would do grave injury to their own
sweetness of disposition. Therefore,

Omens Of the Wedding Day.


June-the month allotted to brides
and roses-is probably the most popu-
lar season of the year, as it brings to
many the fulfillment of hearts desires.
It Is said-by whom no one seems to
know-that if the day chosen by a
girl for her wedding proves to be
rainy that her life will be filled with
more sorrow than joy. Be that as it
may, one of the very happiest of mar
riages was made on Friday, on the
18th day of the month and at the hour
set for the ceremony there was a most
terrific thunderstorm. In spite of the
fact that for years Saturday was con-
sidered the most unlucky of wedding
days, of late it has been chosen by
brides of even international fame.
If the carriage containing a bride
should meet funeral procession the
driver must be instructed to turn some
other way. If he does not, fate de-
crees that the bride will soon die.
To avoid the possibility of any bad
luck on her wedding day, the BRIDE
elect should not offer to assist in
washing or wiping the family dishes,
for if by chance she should happen
to break bit of china it would be an
exceedingly evil omen-the old record
does not say what, but it would be
prudent not to tempt fate.
Gray is the color bride should
choose for her going-away gown if she
wishes to wear what for ages has been
considered the proper thing to insure
good luck. Perhaps that is the reason
that there is always a steady demand
for this color.
Some one gets hold of these old
superstitions and customs, and the pub.
lie thinks it is acquiring something
new just because they are so old that
every one has fogotten all about them.
When the cake known as the
"groom's cake is passed at wedding
supper the girl who gets the longest
piece will be the first one to marry.
Maidens who are anxious to leave the
state of single blessedness should
consult the head waiter and see that
some bits of cake are cut longer than
the others.
Fate was certainly kind when she
decreed that for bride to shed tears
on her wedding was good omen, for
it would take pretty stoical young
woman to go through breaking home
ties without few tears, no matter
how alluring the prospect of the new
life.
Snow falling on wedding day
augurs we'll for the happy couple, be-
ing prophecy of great happiness.
For girls who have been asked to
set the day it might be we'll to re.
member that June 3, II, 10 and 21 are
considered by the fates to be especial
ly propitious on which to have the
knot tied.

party of some kind, was looked for
ward to not only by the participants
In the pretty pageant, but by the
grown-ups who were asked to view the
scene from the broad piazzas.
The invitations, which were issued
two weeks in advance, requested the
guests to come costumed as the flower
designated. These notes were written
in gold ink on pale pink paper, tied to
pink rosebud; they were delivered
from a rose-trimmed basket.
The girls came as roses in all varie-
ties. Then there were lily of the val
ley, violet, tiger lily, daisy, pansy,
black-eyed Susan, etc. The boys were
sunflowers, bachelors buttons, tulips,
red carnation and chrysanthemums
and nasturtiums. Jack-in the-Pulpit
and Johnny Jump-Up were also repre-
sented. Crepe tissue paper and cheap
gauzes, tinsels and cambrics entered
largely into the construction of the
costumes worn.
Soap bubbles occupied the Arst part
of the afternoon, the tennis court be-
ing the place selected for the contest.
The girls blew the bubbles and the
boys famed them over the net; the
opposite side tried to keep the bubbles
from going over. The side getting ten
bubbles over the first won a prize.
Then things were reversed, and the
boys blew and the girls famed. City,
cerin in the proportion of a table,
poonsful to pint of water was used
for blowing the bubbles and the pipes
had rim of soap around them inside
the bowl which causes the fairy balls
to grow to immense size; tho glycerin
gives lasting qualities unknown to
plain water. There were prizes for
this contest, consisting of flower
shaped candy boxes filled with candied
violets and rose petals
At five o'clock supper was served
from long table over which a canopy
of paper roses had been made by put
ting up tall stakes at regular inter.
walls from which these garlands were
festooned; the roof was made by criss-
crossing heavy wire and covering with
vines. The roses were suspended by
fine wire. The effect was excellent.
Making the roses had furnished the
children of the house pleasant occupa-
ton for more than one rainy spring
day; having helped in the prepara-
tions, they were most keenly inter-
ested in the success of the party.
The refreshments consisted of
minced chicken sandwiches, lemonade,
sugar waters, strawberry ice cream
and huge birthday cake wreathed in
pink roses. Pink rose holders held the
candles and each child had wee pink
iced cake with wee pink candle in
front of his place to take home.

A Color Study

A young woman at the theater the
other night had bright red hair-not
the lovely auburn or famous Titan
but just plain red, and blue eyes, says
the Boston Globe. She would have
been hopelessly mediocre had she
worn pink, or worse still, light blue
Attired as she was in a long sweeping
gown of all black, with not a speck OF
color anywhere, she was transformed
into striking beauty. Extremely long
black jet earrings lent decorative
touch, and brought out unexpected red
gold lights in her hair.
