Discipline In general was admirable.
In arranging for shore leave OF the

to arrange matters, strange asit may
seem, that 1t was possible for q man
In an inferior conduct grade to get
more liberty than one OF the Best be:

tirely unnatural and came about from
a combination. OF two separate systems.
The reason was that naval regulations
compelled the giving Of at least q GER
tain amount OF shore leave to men In
the second grade, while the system he
was usIug actually allowed less to q
man In the first grade The result was
that In short time the bulk OF the
men were In the second conduct grade
where they could get the most liberty.
At a later date. on unothst ship, the

tion more carefully and was a great

hayed himself suflciently well and

he could have an unusual amount Of

A small city, which need not be 10
Gated more particularly than that IL q
somewhere east of Boston, has its own
peculiar way of speeding the newly
married on their honeymoon.
For one thing, every one goes to the
station to see the couple depart. This
IS done in many small places. The
showerihg OF rice or confetti and the
throwing of the old shoe take place,
not at the home of the bride, but at the
station. To that extent the city re
ferred to is not unusual.
3 But in this city train schedules fire.
ouently go awry, and when they do
the unusual happens. The wedding. of
course. has been celebrated on time
and the reception has taken as much
time as such things usually take. The
ldeparture from the brides home Is
made In due season to catch the train
if 1t is on time.
lThe wedding guests rush to the stA'
ton. where all other Inhabitants hav'
ing nothing, better TO do have assem-
Ebled already. 1t isih free chow which
no one would miss.
The carriage bearing the newly mar
ried pair is drawn by white horses and
decorated with white ribbons. Custom
demands this, and no one has yot had
the temerit: to do otherwise.
The carriage arrives at the station
and 1t is learned that the train is 80
many minutes or 80 many hours late
Usually the measure is in hours.
The carriage doesn't walt. 1t goes
.parading. 1t drives around and around
a prescribed route, from every point OF
which the driver can get due notice OF
the approach of the train.
Z The crowd remains patiently at the
station. Other curious pei Sons station
themselves at points along sHe route
Just to see the wedding coach pass.
K Sometimes two or three carriages
drawn by white horses and decorated
in white, swing steadily around thiI
hymeneal circuit. 1t seems Hike ar
endless procession. 1t Is not unsua
for wedding pair to spend the hrst
Ave hours of their honeymoon just rid
ing round and round waiting for the
train.
When the screech of the locomotive
finally is heard the driver continues t.
swing up to the platform Just as tht
train comes to stop. Then the bride
and bridegroom make a mad rush fol
their car amid shower of rice ant
confetti and old shoes. The honeymoon
parade is overwhelming.
