 Where Is the girl who is not anxious Ito be bridesmaid when she hearS a girl friend is soon to wed2 Passing up the aisle to the strains of the wed- ding march, knowing that she in turn gets her full measure Of admiration from hundreds of eager eyes, is almost as delightful as being the bride.
 And, then, it is known to be lucky to take part in such a ceremony. Mine times out Of ten the entire group of bridesmaids have married within the twelverno11th Especially is this said to be true if the bridesmaid tJcIks a four leaf clover in her bodice unknown to amy one, as she sets forth for the altar. In the dancing and feastfng that follow, though there be hundreds of pretty girls as guests, all the ell igtble young men are eager to dance with the pretty bridesmaids, just for luck, as they will tell you Some young man, who has never thought of her seriously before will suddenly be- come conscious Of her attractions and think how pretty she would look in bTidal array wishing he might be 1oF- tuuate enough to win her.
 Thus the romance begins. It is a question of sHonder1nent among the girls as to which shall be the next bride. It is moment of delightful expectancy when they all band to- gether to watch the departure of the bride each eager to catch the bouquet which she throws among them. For this determines the madden who will B1e the next one led to the altar by a happy groom.
 Of course only one girl gets the bou- Quet. But that doesn't hinder the rest from having high nnatrdnonial hopes. Last, but by no means least, there's a piece of wedding cake for her to slip under her pillow and dream over. se- cretly hoping that she will sec in her vision one of the ushers who seemed to Ge particularly attracted toward her. He had asked permission to call upon her. But girls should not seek to be bridesmaids too often. There is a. st1- perstition connected with it, which is not pleasant to learn of, yet one might as well know about it. Sh-! Let me whisper it in your ear; girls The wiseacres who pretend to know ali about it say: t.If you are three times a. bridesmaid you will never be a brfdes,' So accept with joy tfle first invitation you receive to accompany your dearest girl friend to the altar. Be just as glad to act in that capacity a. second time; but fight shy Of the third time to perform the same d1rty- you know w1y2
 New, that the wedding season is in lfun swing, every girl will want her tprettiest friends for bridesmaids. If you have a rosy cheek and a lfrldp1ed chin you may be eagerly sought for. Tradition also hath 1t: If you can make your own brdd desnnaid gown, ev- cry stitch of it with your own delft sIn- gers, you will sew a young mans heart with the tucfzs and dainty TO- settes.s My! what sewing bees'' will know how to make d bridesmaid s gown. She who is poplIlar with her girl friends may need 1t sooner than lshe expects.

TURKS PREPARING
FOR LAND BATTLE
TURKISH TROOPS ARE BEING
GATHERED NEAR SMYRNA TO
OPPOSE LANDING OF ALLIED
ARMY

PARIS, March 31.-Operations
against the defenses of the Darda-
nelles during Monday consisted only
of an intermittent bombardment CO sew
eral Turkish positions by allied war
ships, occording to a Havas News
| Agency dispatch from Athens. A
fleet of aeroplanes cooper ating with
warships of the fleet dropped bombs
at numerous points throughout the
day.
The Turk fortresses replied only
feebly to Mondays bombardment, most
of the artillerymen of the garrisons
being employed in the work of repair
ing damage done during the concen-
trated attack on the 18th inst, when
many large calibre guns were dis
mantled and damaged. New arsenals
to replace those destroyed during the
terrific bombardment are being con-
structed but additional supplies have
not yet reached the forts, owing to
the stringent blockade of the straits
maintained by warships stationed
near Gallipoli, in the Gulf of Saros.
Indirect fire, directed by aeroplanes
and war balloons control the Sea
of Marmora entrance to the straits as
well as dominate European approaches
to the forts lining the Dardanelles.
In the vicinity of Smyrna, where
French transports recently arrived, t
is reported a large Turkish army ls
being assembled, with the evident OBJ
ject Of preventing the landing Of al
lied troops This army is relied up
on to protect the land approaches to
the Asiatic defenses of the Darda-
nelles, and great battle is likely to
result during the next few days. Aus
tralian and Indian troops, it is said,
are to be landed, as well as French
land forces, the allied army operat-
ing as a unit under command Of
the French General d'Armade.
