An edict has just been published at
Madrid by the Spanish minister of
the interior, forbidding women from
taking an active part in bull fights.
For sometime recently the custom has
been growing of women donning the
brilliant costume of the toreador and
appearing in the arena. At Madrid
crowds have been going to watch a
quartet whose prima espada, La Rev
erta, was all the rage. The skill with
which this young woman gave the
death blow was perfect Fearing that
her example would be widely follow
ed, the minister has prohibited a bull
fight in which she was to take part, eX-
planning that bull fighting by women,
although not against the law, consti-
tutes a light so opposed to culture
and delicate sentiment that the au-
thorities feel compelled to prohibit
such exhibitions.

he will leave Belgrade except for his

The tercentenary of the institution
of baronetcy will be among the large
celebrations to be held this year. This
is rank which the country owes to
the first Stuart sovereign of Great
Britain, but it is denied that it was
created to provide the British Solo
mon with money. The celebration is
function in which the public gener-
ally will feel but little interest, but
on the other hand, those most inter-
ested are preparing to celebrate the
occasion with betitting solemnity for

together over 1900, are very proud
of their order and have recently taken
steps to clear its ranks of unlawful

fairs, the object of his visit he gave
himself up entirely to his own person
al enjoyment, his whole time being
taken up either in sport or festivity.

Give Up Secret Societies.

Secret societies have been abolished
at Mount Holyoke college by com.
bined vote of the society members
and the faculty. These secret socie-
ties had been in existence in Mount
Holyoke for more than twenty-five
years. The dramatic club Of the COL
lege has bought the American rights
of the pastoral play, Fair Rosa
mond," with a set of costumes and
properties for production This play
was first given by Lady Archibald
Campbells pastoral players at the
Cannizaro Woods, Wimbledon COM
mon, England The American rights
were later bought by Mrs. John v.
Pruyn of Albany, who allowed the
play to be given only when the pro-
ceeds were for some hospital work.
After Mrs. Pruyns death it was de-
cided to sell the American rights and
stage properties to some college Or
ganization rather than to a profes-
sional company. This play will prob
ably be presented at the May day
celebration.
