The word should be grace widow

by grace or favor. not of necessity, as
by death. IT originated In the earlier
ages of European civilization, when

RINGING cURFEW IN NORWAY
Shuren Bells Remind chrIstIanla
Children to Get OF the Streets
at Night.


Christiania, Norway.-Curfew ring.
ing In Norway is not custom of long
standing. but while the practise seems
TO be getting more and more obsolete
In countries where 1t was formerly
well known 1t has been taken IN in
this country with great energy by a
number of social workers, who argue
that ringing the church bells at say
eight o'clock p. m. in winter and q
p. m. In summer will prove the best
means of keeping children away from
the streets. And it is further argued
that their staying there after dark
has been one of the principal reasons
tor the comparatively numerous Of
lenses by children which have been
reported during late years. The work
tor introducing the curfew hero in a
short time won a good many follow
ers.
After being tried in some of the
smaller towns the practise has now
been introduced In Christiania. AL.
though the press has done its best to
prepare the public for 1t, the first
chimes created considerable sensa-
ton. Ringing the church bells at
night has been something altogether
unheard of here for years, and the
first night most of the daily papers
had number of anxious inquiries,
some calling in person and some over
the telephone wires, who wanted t1

II remains to be ascertained wheth.
er the church bells will have the bene-
fetal effects claimed for them upon
the younger generation of Christiania.
Some people claim that the root OF
the evil is the numerous books of the
dime-novel type stamp, which are
transcribed into Norwegian and i'm
ported here in carload lots, and that
the tough kids" for whom the cur
few ringing is principally meant will
pay little attention to the bells. Mean
