Turned the Tables.

At Scotch weddings some years ago
it used 10 be the custom to batter
the hat Of the bridegroom as he was
leaving the house in which the Cere-
mony took place. on one of those oC-
Casions the friends of a newly mar
ried couple (relativeS of the bride
groom) determined to carry out the
observance of this custom to the
letter.
The bridegroom heard them dis
GUESSING their plans, and dispatched a
messenger to the carriage (which
stood waiting) with his hat some
time previous to his departure. Then,
donning the hat of the male relative
who had plotted against him, he pre-
pared To go out To the carriage.
No sooner had he got to the door
than his hat was furiouSly assaulted
and almost destroyed. He walked
out Of the house amid the laughter
of the bystanders and entered the
vehicle; then, taking the battered
hat from his head he threw it into
the hands of its proper owner. eX-
claiming: Hey. Mr. Dougall there's
your hat" and donned his own amid
the cheers of all present.
Mr.. Dougall was the unhappiest-
looking man in Scotland for some
time after that

don't understand. It's enough to kin
her, and l don't believe women are
going to do it much longer. l think
in the future that when a girl hasn't
got an independent fortune of her own
she'll continue after marriage at
whatever business she was in before
marriage. Financial independence is
just as necessary to woman's self
respect as il is to "A mans"
And here's another viewpoint of the
1913 model of girl. If you will re-
call, the heroes of all old fashioned
novels used to be men who had been
sad rakes. They were men with dark
pasts, such as Rochester, who fasci-
mated innocent little Jane Eyre, and
even as late as a generation or so
ago a man lost no prestige in a girls

ing had romantic adventures. Re
Gently an opponent to the bill for re-
quiring all candidates for marriage to
produce a health certificate brought
up this former attitude Of women on
this subject in objecting to the pass
age of the law. He didn't know the
modern young girl. l said something
of this to one, and she defined the
modern girls position on the question
in one phrase:
She Knew.
We've read Damaged Goods" she
said, "and we know what that sort
OF romance means-insane asylums,
surgeons tables, death"
In former times, when a young girl
came to an older woman to confide in
her, she asked for advice about some
love affair. Nowadays when a girl
has a heart-to-heart talk with you
she consults you about her life work.
| The young girls are no longer look
| ing forward to matrimony as the one
| only desirable career in life. They
are thinking of business, of settle
ment work, of a thousand avocations
outside Of the home circle. Love is
no longer the whole of their exist
ence. 1t is a thing apart, just as
| it is of a man. If the right man
| comes along and asks one, she'll
! marry, but if he doesn't, she can get
along very well without him, thank
you.

young girl of the period. Take a look

The Bibles of Presidents
Some Interesting Facts Concerning Them.

pared with the copy of the Bible, bound
in red leather with silver clasps, on
which Washington took the oath as
first President of the Republic on the
balcony of the old Federal Hall in New
York. 1t was borrowed for the occa-
sion, and the descendants of those who
lent it preserve it as a most sacred
relic.
Americans, inspired perhaps by the
example of the late P1erpont Morgan,
who included many historic Bibles
among his art treasures. have of late
years exhibited a great passion for Bible
collecting. Bibles belonging to Queen
Anne, George III and Richard. Duke of
Gloucester, are to be found in the
United States.
1t was H. L. Huntington, the railway
magnate Of America. who a couple Of
years ago paid $4,000 for a Gutenberg
Bible which was once in the Ashburn-
ham Library America, however, has
not succeeded in securing a literary
treasure to be found among the finest
collection OF English Bibles IN the world,
at the Bristol Baptist College. This col
lege possesses the only perfect copy IN
existence of Tyndale's first New Tesla
ment, printed at Worms in 1895. The
then Bishop of London bought up and
burned this first edition, and thus pro-
vided Tyndale money for an improved
and larger one. The only other frag-
ment of the destroyed edition is now
in the British Museum, but it stops short
at the ed chapter of st. Matthew,
The trustees of the college have often
been tempted to dispose of this unique
volume. but hitherto they have been
proof against temptation. though no less
than S50, 900 has been offered for it.
Another valuable Bible in the collec-
ton is a copy of Coverdale's Bible, pub
lished in 1885. Lincoln Cathedral pos
sesses the only other perfect copy in
existence. although six other more or
less complete copies are known to exist.

book upon which, since 1900, every
Chief Justice and every member Of the

Some interesting facts have also been

first Inauguration he brought with him
a little red Bible his mother had given
him when he was a boy, and which
he had always cherished as a keepsake.

Their request was granted, and the big
