No Longer Good Form
to Cry About It.

emit faint groans, or even to pull a
long face" during the ceremony or aft
erward at the breakfast or reception, saws
, the Baltimore Sun.
There was a time, and not so very
long ago, either, when the bride was
supposed to go into retirement for a
time before the wedding came off. 1t
was considered bad taste for her to go
to parties, or, in fact, to be visible at
all for a period before the ceremony.
Now she is generally not only in evil
dence, but even more prominent than
usual during the days preceding the
wedding.
She is usually a practical young per-
son, who knows how she wants every
detail of the ceremony and the recep-
tion, and who proceeds to superin-
tend the whole as the surest method
Of securing it to her liking. Neither
does she hesitate to go to parties up
to the moment of her appearance at
church.
The real hilarity begins at the we'd
ding reception or brea kfast, but it does
not stop there. No longer do the bride
and bridegroom Whirl off directly on
their honeymoon trip. If the wedding
is early, they are quite likely to re-
pair with their friends to a the dan
SAINT; If late, they attend a dance or
even see play before they start off on
their trip. This was formerly an un-
heard-of proceeding.
What is the cause of this relaxation
of ceremony? Is the holy state of mat
rimony regarded somewhat more friv-
olously than it used to be or are we
simply becoming averse to hocus-
pocus and a false assumption of GER
tain ultra-ref1nements of feeling that
we don't possess?

season. With the havoc wrought to
homes in the recent hurricane it was
doubtful if the household deities could
be SO soon disposed of. but apparently
even in things sartorial milady is fast
becoming ready for the winter gayety.
There is less and less talk of hard
times among members of the smart
world. Perhaps it has ceased to be
fashionable or perhaps the peers de
families, and incidentally husbands,
have been made to think as did Sena-
tor James Hamilton Lewis, that "the
jewel must have it's setting, the rose
must have it's perfume, the masterpiece
must have it's frame. The world must
have its beautiful women, with their
gowns and jewels and expensive hats
and tidy shoes and soft attentions"
The wedding of Miss Agnes George
and Mr.. Harry Hardie last week was a
particularly notable event socially, and
informal dinners and dances in their
honor have meant much entertaining

A Charity Which esting and
Finds Many Helpers. Mrs. Arthur
Orr, whose husband is one of the sec
retaries of the American embassy at
Paris, has, it is said. been in close touch
with many of the wars grim and tragic
aspects and none has appealed to her
more than the sad plight of the chill
dren in the war zone.
These youngsters. as graphically de-
scribed in a Chicago exchange, do not
come within the scope of the national en-
terprise which takes care of the children
"orphelins de Ia guerre." Many of
these war zone children have one or
both parents living-a father in the
trenches and a mother living in the
cellars of that battle torn section Of
Europe which runs from the North sea
to the Swiss border-a stretch of coun-
try averaging ten miles in width. Hun
dreds of thousands of the inhabitants
of this district, old men, women and
children, still cling to the ruined towns
and villages, and between lombard
ments continue to till and plant the
fields and vineyards.
It is to these children that the

protection of the frontier children Of

Already over a thousand children have
been taken from these scenes of terror
and confusion and placed either in
Paris with the Sisters of st. Vincent or
in colonies all over France. For these
colonies people give their chateaux,
empty stables and unused institutions.
Each colony is the object of solicitude
and interest on the part of all the peo-
pie in the neighborhood, who bring
them gifts of fruit, vegetables, clothes.
toys, anything that an already bereft
and burdened nation can spare.
To help raise funds for this undertak-
ing Mrs. Arthur Orr has enlisted the
sympathies of several Chicago women,
who have taken a small house in that
city and are turning it into the most
delightful, beguiling little shop where
women can get all sorts of French
frivolities.
The rent for six months has been
given them by a generous friend. Every
day one of the young women associated
with the enterprise will be on hand to
attend to customers. The upper part
of the house will be occupied by the

Slaughter Of Millions
Predicted BY Edison.

Soon we can be moving men
down by the thousands or even

so terrible that the machinery
itself virtually will have TO do
the fighting. declared Thos. A.
Edison, greatest living Ameri-
can inventor and chairman OF
the United States Naval Ad-
visory Board. during brief
stay in Denver today.
Edison continued:
The European war is a crime

men who are doing the fighting
did not desire war. Only few
desired II, and they dragged the
millions in.
I'VE are a long, long way
from a,tai ,irg universal peace.
This war has taught US that
mankind is not a. good AS some
OF us were beginning to believe.
War can be made so scientific
that the very horror Of it will
help to end war. But that day
is nos yet near.
mo ore can say with certain
~ that the United States will
not have war. But we are not
ready. Our preparedness is at
zero. Republics never are pre-
pared.
1--WE should have right now
ammunition factories capable Of
producing daily twice as much
explosives as the whole OF the
armies in Europe are consuming
daily. There should be at least
twelve of these government mu.
nitions factories in the United
States.
L don't mean that ammuni'
ton should be made now and
stored, but the plants should be
kept oiled and ready, so that in
less than a week we could be
turning out twice as much am
munition as the rest of the
