studies. and she left the schoolroom to
prepare her trousseau, which, it is
said, will surpass anything of the kind
ever before prepared for a st. Louis
bride.
In addition to the costliness and
beauty of the trousseau is its demon
stration of Miss Bells loyalty to her
home city. for every article has been
purchased in st. Louis, and personally

several thousand volumes, representing
! the best works of American writer's,
old English classics, as well as later
day writer's. the best of Italian and
German writer's, translated and in the
original, and many volumes de luxe in
them all. Mrs. Draper has paid espe-
cial attention to her French library, as
both she and Miss Draper are probably
more fond of the French writer's than
of any others not American. The great
store of books is arranged in tall
cases in the room located on the ground
floor and just to the right of the en-
trance, in what was originally used as
a billiard room. Here a thick oriental
rug deadens the football, and heavy
hangings in accord with the big, sub
stantial tables and luxurious chairs
give a massive effect. The tables are
| fitted with electric reading lamps, and
everywhere are lights to be turned on
as required. There is absolutely no
wall space left for pictures, but num-
berless photographs handsomely framed
stand upon the tables There is a
large photograph of Miss Margaret
Draper, one of her father, the late Gen.
| William f. Draper; another OF her
grandfather, the late GOV. Preston of
Kentucky: one of Mrs. Draper. and a
photograph of the statue of Gen. Drap-
err recently unveiled in New England.

volumes in her library on the second
floor of the residence. 1t is in the up

Picked Up Here and There.

Weddings are about the only diver
sion for society these spring days. The
social calendar reveals the fact that
less than half a dozen society weddings
are scheduled for May. in New York
city, which shows that to some extent
superstition is regarded by society
May is always avoided for weddings
because of the ancient superstitions
attached to 1t, and, in medieval and
| modern times. because of lis being ded-
| icated to the Virgin Mary. There is
| really not a single point connected
with the wedding rite which is no:
! shrouded in innumerable superstitions,
| some of them dating back to hoary
| antiquity.
Early fairy tales throw much light
on the ideas Of primitive peoples re-
garding marriage. The tales like Gin
derella" and Beauty and the Beast
enshrine some essential facts. with a
high ideal for children, which is never
afterward forgotten. That marriage
| should not be made too easy was thus
tiful and immortal romances, Which
| might be very excellent thing these
days of get et-married-quick.
Still, just as in early days, the fairy
prince, who may be Wall street brok-
er, always seems to choose the right
sister out of many, and the fairy
princess, who may be keen suffrag gist
can be relied upon 10 single out one
from several brothers all alike. Per-
haps the machination of sorcerers, or
of wicked stepmothers. belong to the
primitive days, but the fairy god
mother is still to be found. After ALL
the romances of the young people in
society ring pretty true. even if the
young man is not called upon to at
tempt some heroic deed. to win the
hand of the beloved whose neart las
been already won.
1t is said to be unlucky for the bride to
meet funeral when driving to the
church. and that the carriage should turn
back and the drive begin all over again.
Nowadays, it Is lucky if the bride
reaches the church in time, owing to
the congestion Of traffic, and to turn
back would doubtless result in Violat-
ing the traffic regulations. All of
which proves that the old-time omens
belong to a day long past. and only
those survive which fit in with mod
ern conditions.

FINANCE PRESSES
TO BRING PEACE
Europe's Loss of Life and
Credit May End War
Before Winter.
BY FRANCIS w. H1RST.
editor OF THE Economist.D

London, July 27.-The ending OF
the session of Parliament without
fresh taxation on luxuries is causing
much criticism, but delicate ques-
tions concerning protective import
duties and the division Of taxation
between property and labor make the
new budget difficult. The Premier's
recent speech to bankers indicated a
willingness to broaden the basis of
taxation. The new proposals prob
ably include some startling innova-
tions, and Mr.. McKenna's budget
cannot be ready until the end of
September.
High prices here are causing dis
cussion. For example, the wholesale
price of American bacon is lower
than in 1913, but the retail price has
been raised to thirty cents a pound.
According to "The Liverpool Post, "
the cheap sorts Of American bacon
should sell at twelve cents, as stocks
are very heavy.
The "Kolnische Volkszeitung"
complains bitterly about German
prices, declaring that the German
poor cannot stand such impositions.
The increase in financial pressure
points, in the opinion Of many, to-
ward peace before winter, as in
definite continuation means such loss
of life and exhaustion Of credit as
the Continental powers hardly dare
contemplate. Germany's advance in
Poland represents an enormous ex-
penditure and offers little hope of
any decisive result.
Keen interest continues here in
Washington's negotiations with Ber-
lin and London concerning their
submarine and blockade policies. The
American attitude about cotton is
becoming increasingly understood
here.
German advices suggest that there
is much dissension in high quarters
concerning the policy to be pursued
toward America. Admiral Won Tir-
pitt and DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg,
the Imperial Chancellor, are appar-
emily in opposition to the matter.
London. July 27.-The stock market
