WEDDING GLOVE FOR BRIDE
Third Finger 10 Left Unstitchsd so
That tho Ring Can Do slipped

A happy era has dawned for the
bride at the fateful moment when the
ring is about to be placedaon her fin.
ger.
Instead Of the usual struggle to re.
move her left hand glove she will
now be able to uncover the third fin.
ger without effort and without losing
her composure.
This delightful result is to be OBJ
tanned by an ingenious wedding
glove" device. The inside seam on
the third finger of the left glove is un.
stitched, SO that all that the bride
need do is to slip her finger through
the slit to receive the ring. The fin.
ger can just as easily be slipped back
into the glove after the ceremony.
The device will be greatly appre-
.ciated. not only by the bride, but also
iby the nervous bridegroom.
The story Of the origin Of the wed.
ding glove has come to light, Some.
time ago a girl who had lost her right
arm In the hunting field asked for a
single wedding glove.
She remarked on the awkwardness
Of having to remove her glove with
tho help Of her teeth, and 1t was then
seen that matters would be greatly
facilitated for the bride II she only
had to uncover the ring finger.
The experiment was so successful
that 1t aroused the interest of other
prospective brides. who say in 1t a
boon which would save them from
the usual difficulties Of removing a
whole glove in the moment when the
ring is about to be put on.-Exchange.

Columbia rivermen believe that the

have been the mean Of sounding the
doom Of this method of shipping lum'

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 19. The Russian Foreign Ministry stln posi- lively refuses to touch the Jewish question, even when raised in the name of American citizenship. Mean time the anti.Jewish policy of the Rus sian Ministry of the Interior is be- coming more harsh, and there is no sign that the problem will be success. fully attacked by foreign action.
 Ambassador Bakhmetieff at Wash ington is understood to have report ed to the czar's government that the incoming administration of Woodrow Wilson will insist that Russia make no discrimination against Jews in is- suing passports.
 There is thus real danger, it is be- lieyed, in the deadlock between Rus. sia and the United States over the subject.
 The end of the present month will find the Russian Foreign Ministry ready to proceed under the most fay- ored nation relations as regards a commercial tarifr with the United States, but without any written treaty of amity to replace the agreement of 1888, which is now about to expire.

 The building is on a solid earth foundation and looks to be very substantial structure. There are to be two exits in front with swinging doors. There is an abrupt incline from the vestibule to the doors and a pronounced slope toward the sage. A door has recently been cut through the right hand wall near the stage This door MT. Sherman says, was in the original plans but the delay in cutting was on account of the solid earth bank which at present shuts of any possible use.
 This earth is to be removed and the stairs leading to Gold street are also to b moved so that a passage way may be made underneath the walk
 The upper floor is reached by a stairway adjoining the theatre front The space is to be used for lodge purposes and for social gatherings.
 The theatre is to be plastered with fire-proof plastering and finished in good style. The work has not pro gressed so far as the orpheum but the contract says 1t will be ready to turn over on Jan. 1.

FurS And Autos for
 gland

LONDON, Dec. 19.-John Bull is dancing with joy over his unpreced. ented trade boom; all the papers are taking up the subject; the people are buying automobiles, furs and Christmas presents almost as fast as the dealers can hand them out; and the London Daily Mail is running a series of special articles showing that reports from every important industry in every part of the British Isles tell the same tale of unparalleled bus. mess and universal employment.
 The free trade papers naturally are chortling over what they call this testimony to the practical results of free trade brought out by the very newspaper that is foremost in agitat. ing for a change to protection. The protectionist cry was that the Brit ish trade was being outrun, outclassed by high.tariff Germany and the United States.
 But now the tune has changed. The trade expansion has reached such gi- gantic proportions it can no longer be denied. It is estimated that the amount of shopping done last week in Bond street and Regent street, which are the centres of expensive buying, was greater than in the two weeks pre- ceding Christmas last year. The boom is still increasing.
 Incidentally, the advertising in the chief London newspapers in the last two weeks has topped all previous records.
