A difference of opinion as to how
many babies should constitute a fam
lily resulted In Mrs. Frank A. Willard
Of Los Angeles getting a divorce In
1900 on the ground of cruelty
After seven babies had arrived Mrs.
Willard said, Never again" Willard
cOntended that seven was only a nu-
cleus. Now presumably Mrs. Willard
has changed her mind. for Mr.. Willard
mas begun suit to have the divorce set
aside. 1t is understood that If 1t fails
they will remarry.
In his bill Willard says. Your ora
tor insists that nature should not be
interrupted in her wise plan Of popu-
lating the earth; therefore there was
no natural cause for the defendant
seeking divorce"

Bronze Tablet to His Memory In Front

Bell Was Hidden During the

Allentown, Pain front of the his

city a large granite boulder with
bronze tablet stands in memory of
John Jacob Mickey, a patriot of the
American Revolution In September,
1177, before the British entered the
city of Philadelphia, everything of
value was sent out of the city. There
was danger of the British using the
bells of the city for cannon, and for
that reason they were considered OF
such value that they were taken down
from their towers on September Is,
117T, and by order of the executive
council were ordered out of the city to
some place of safety. The commission
was given to John Jacob Mickey, a
member of the general committee OF
Northampton, Pa, appointed in No
vember, 1875, from Whitehall town

He was appointed commissary of is

Bethlehem, Northampton county,

Der, 1777. When they arrived in Beth
lehem the wagon with the statehouse
bell or Liberty bell' broke down and
had to be unloaded. The other bells,
among which were the chimes of ST.
Peters and Christ church, Philadel
phia, were sent on to Allentown.
When another wagon was procured
the Liberty bell was put on it and

TRoUssEAU FOR BRIDEGROOM
Not Often Heard OF, but Indiana Wom-
an Thought Son Should
Have One.

Should a bridegroom have a trous-
seau?
1t may be a pertinent question in
some places, but it is calculated to
mean a fight if overheard by certain
newly initiated member of the grand
old order of benedicts. This pugna-
cious individual, who has recently
settled down, has had his experiences
with masculine trousseaus and looks
for trouble when one mentions the
subject.
And it was all due to his proud and
doting mother.
She is typically woman's woman
For years she had been a widow and
lived in Mouse full Of women down
in an Indiana town, where she saw
her son only enthusiastically and
where all her associations are with
women And when she heard her son
was about to we'd, it was only natural
that the things that appeal to a wom-
an at such q time should associate
themselves with her SON.
The result was a trousseau for him.
1t was a surprise, too. In order that
he should know nothing about it. the
trousseau was made, sent to Chicago
to the home of the bride with re-
quest it be placed in one of the brides
trunks, that Harold might know moth
ing of it until they were well started
on their honeymoon
That's the way the story got out.

opportunity. She may select her pro
fession or occupation and find abun-
dant chances to perfect herself in the
chosen work The woman who does
something great in art or literature or
who makes a reputation for herself in
any line stirs the feminine magma
tioE and soon acquires many follow
ers.
There seems to be a great tendency
of the college woman to turn to So
cial work. This calling numbers quite
high in the rank of womens activi-
ties There are numerous women
physicians, and many private secre-
taries are numbered in the ranks of
the woman worker
Women In Many Professions.
The census of 1900 showed among
women workers fifty astronomers, 100
architects, forty civil engineers and
thirty mechanical and electrical engi
neers. There are 5000 women clergy
men OF course all these cannot be
traced as to their respective colleges,
but doubtless the great majority of
them have college degrees.
This is varied list, but those occu-
pations are calling more and more
college graduates. The chances are
that teaching will always call a large
proportion, not only because it is a
natural profession for a woman of
scholarly tastes, but because of the
long vacations which are denied to
women in other professional walks Of
life
So it would seem that the college
woman, whether she decides to enter
the state of matrimony or not, gets a
good deal out of life. Married, she
has her husband and her home; I'M
! married, she has an interesting pro-
| fession. But verify, the world has
changed considerably since the days

rousseau,
Both union suits and pajamas were
made of the daintiest sort of white
stuff, the necks were cut low and
edged with lace, and pink and blue
baby ribbon was run through it where
possible, while neat little bows were
tied on the shoulders.
That's all there is to it Mother
called in the bride, and the bride or
dered the 'trousseau'' carefully hid
den away until what she deemed
proper time. When the happy couple
came back from their honeymoon he
was shown his mothers handiwork,
and was able to write the expected
letter of thanks. while his pretty

rather large and muscular daughter
