fresh air they can get on holidays, Park
Commissioner Slower has announced
that hereafter all the public tennis
courts in the city parks will be open on

been closed on the Sabbath. There are
400 acres of courts in all the parks,
1900 courts in all. Statistics show

The destruction of Cartago will doubt
less cause some anxiety regarding the
safety of Ithe Panama canal, although
it will afford some measure of gratifica-
ton that the Panama route was chosen,
rather than one through Nicaragua, as
the latter territory is much more sub
ject to earthquakes than is Panama. In
fact, Nicaragua is well within the earth
quake belt, of which Costa Rica is the
southernmost boundary, as far as the
records show 1t will be recalled that
the prevalence of the earthquakes in
Nicaragua was one of the factors which
led to the selection of the Panama route.
Carriage is about $50 miles north of the
Panama canal, or little further than
from Boston to Nova Scotia.
The advocates of sea-level canal will
doubtless see in this earthquake another
reason for condemning the adoption of
a lock canal plan, entirely oblivious of

The creed Of the city Improvement
Society of St. Adams, organized a
short time ago will commend itself to
everyone who is interested in making
their city or village one of the beauty
spots of the earth. every lifted
flower, every blossoming shrub, every
spreading tree is song of life, an in
spiration to right living, bit of nature 5
grace and beauty in our daily walk
Every perfect path, every verdant
lawn, every well kept street is a path
way of peace, pattern pleasing to the
sense of sight. Believing in the gospel
of good things, pledge myself to beau
tify and keep beauteous the landscape
from my upper window. The four sides
of my habitation shall be without Of
ence to the senses of my neighbor or
the stranger within my sight. The way
before my door, my neighbours door or
the thoroughfare of trade | will not
abuse or put to unworthy use. In every
way consistent with my station and cit
izenship, | will encourage. municipal
cleanliness by word and example, | will
help make St. Adams "the city beauti-
full. "
An excellent creed and one to be
copied by the citizens of every commun-
ity in the State. The ladies of the Mid
debury Improvement Society have
been working along these same lines for
several years and have been backed up
in their work by the village authorities,
with the result that while Middlebury is
not perfect as regards scenic beauty, it
is one of the most beautiful and well
kept villages in the State of Vermont
Here's long life to the Improvement
Society, and if its members persist In
the activity which has thus far charac-
terized them we predict that our al
ready beautiful village will not only be
the equal of the best kept villages in
the State but superior to them.

Arbor day, as tree-planting holiday,
does not make much of an appeal to st.
Adams people in respect to local con-
ditions, perhaps, because this city is al
ready well provided with beautiful shade
trees in practically every locality. In
deed, as The Messenger has often sug-
gested, on some streets the shade trees
are too thickly planted and little judic-
ious thinning out would be a most de-
sirable thing. The trees are too thick
for their own perfect growth, in some
instances, but the greatest criticism is
that some streets are so excessively
shaded that they dry very slowly after
rains, while some dwelling houses are
literally shut out from health-given
sunlight from morning until night by
the groevs about them.
But Arbor day suggests to st, Adams
people the desirabildity of taking care
of these beautiful shade trees, of thin
ing them out where necessary, of care
fully trimming and protecting the re-
mainining ones, and of employing the
best methods of conserving this little
forest of ours that has been so long in
growing and chat is now worse than ne
elected. st. Adams Messenger.

Though marriages are often arranged

law or custom gives the Spanish woman
the power Of appealing to a magistrate II

The magistrate may take her from her
fathers home until she is OF age, while
if she determines to marry man OF

also place herself under the protection of
the law and she cannot be deprived of

Public opinion is still so strongly OPP

to take their share in their country's
work, and many women. are so ignorant
that they hardly read their missals or
write their names.

VERIFYING that accompanies
the wedding gown must be on
par with its rich and impressive
dignity, and the bride-to-be
whose long-dreamed-of bridal
gown is realized in the snowy satin she
has longed for will very likely realize
also that it is the small accompanying
belongings that make the costume
frightfully expensive an item of the
trousseau.
A wedding gown. for example. may not
be worn over anything but very hand
some lace pettiCoat-or at least one OF
exqusitely fine hand embroidery with lace
founces beneath to give frou frou of
soft richness. slippers and stockings must
be irreproachable in quality and style:
gloves also are an expensive item, and
even the wedding handkerchief is no or
binary affair, but must have the touch of
rare lace that lifts it into the place of
dress accessory for this one supreme
sartorial occasion.

little wedding dress accessories are be-
slowed as gifts, and one of the most ac-
