Day on Which Women Rule.

Candlemas day is not celebrated in
Holland much more than in England,
but its place is taken by a festival un-
known in this country. Slipper day in
the Netherlands is the one day in the
year in which the Dutch woman
claims superiority over her husband.
On that day she rules him to her
hearts content, and he generally
obeys good humoredly enough. That
is. unless she is one of those ladies
not unknown in Holland or in any
other country who aspire to complete
rule , over their unhappy partners
