FETEs FOR AGED COUPLES
How Honor Is Paid the Old People
In France by Public
Festivals.

Rheims has just been celebrating
an interesting event, the golden we'd
ding of 60 old couples, says the West
minister Review.
The fete is as old as the Revolution.
when 1t first seems to have begun. In
the time of the directory there were
two fetes, the fete of the old people
and the fete of the golden Wedding.
This seems to have been very pref
ty affair, to Judge from the account in
the Debats. There was a procession
of oxen. with their horns crowned
with flowers, followed by children
crowned with violets. by young men
wreathed with myrtle, and old men
with garlands of olives and girls
dressed as vestal virgins.
At Paris in August. 1897. there was
great festival in honor of the old
men, who were all given seats at the
Opera, when "a gracious Hebe crowned
their white locks with garlands of
roses" and the soldiers presented
arms. The Idea of the fete was the
encouragement of the family circle.
The old man, who was happy grand
father, was feted as an encourage
ment to the younger generation to fol.
low In his footsteps.

Whether or not the traveller is right
who contends that SO words are
enough for mans practical needs,
his theory OF al abridged vocabulary
for everyday use is in line with the
tendency of speech in this country.
We are simplifying the language to
the extent of preferring the simpler
forms of expression, both in our wri-
ting and our speaking. It is purifying
our speech and improving our diction
The master Of simple English, who
can write or speak in terms of the
most commonplace language, is the
most effective. Even eloquence may
be well defined as simplicity.

is such thing as working for the Ian
guage. and such thing as letting the
language work for you. The master
OF English does the latter.

Rather Rough on the Nelshbors.

Many brain workers find at times
distinct need for some violent frolic
or escape to relieve their pent-up
feelings and overstrained nerves.
One such man has preference for
banging door; another for playing
the Dead March in Saul with one
finger; a third, after a heavy days
work, will go round the neighborhood
ringing door bells; whilst fourth, to
steady his nerves, win dash teacup
against wall.
1t seems an idiotic thing to slap
cabman's face to relieve ones feel
ings, yet this is what well-known
actor does; and he does 1t in such
gentlemanly fashion and pays so lib
orally. that the driver seldom takes Of
