Europe from this port is in full swing
and every one of the big transatlantic
steamers leaving New York is crowd
ed with travellers bound for Europe.
Many of the voyagers have made the
trip a number of times and the exper-
fence gained thus enables them to
start upon their trip without undue eX-
citement or confusion. But not all
travellers are experienced and the re-
suit is that there is always more or
less confusion and excitement when
one of the big steamers leaves port.
When the White Star liner Baltic
was about to sail the other day, John
J. O'Riley. wealthy Texas, and his
family went aboard to visit their
home town in Ireland. After they had
gone to their state room, Mr.. O'Riley
decided to go ashore to have $500
note changed into English money.
When the time for sailing came, Mr..
O'Riley had not returned, and. fearing
that something had happened to him,
his family returned to the pierr to be-
gin search for the head of the family.
! No trace of him could be found, how
ever, and his wife and children were
becoming greatly alarmed, when a
wireless message reached them from
the Baltic, which by that time was
out on the ocean. The message was
from Mr.. O'Riley and informed his
wife that he was on board the Baltic
and that he would wait for them at
Liverpool. 1t seems that Mr.. O'Riley
returned to the ship just before the
gang plank was removed which con-
nected the pier with the steerage en-
! trance. While he made his way to the
cabin. his family went ashore by way
of the cabin gangplank. Mrs. O'Riley

Times have indeed changed so far
as the rights and privileges of women
are concerned, There was time
when women were scarcely more than
tolerated in church and the monastic
rule of Muller taceat in Ecclesia"
was strictly enforced. Not so very
| long ago some ministers made them
selves conspicuous by placing the ban
upon certain styles of women's dress
es and millinery. But that was in the
! dim yesterday. The Rev. NJ. Y. Bo-
ward, pastor of the Symmetrical Meth

and methods and has set an example
