The ceremony was perform ed by the Rev. J. B. Nihill, P. R. of the church, who also chanted the nup- t1al mass. The ceremony was wit messed by large number of relatives and friends of the couple.

HOUSING GIVES PETROCRAD|STS
 NUT TO CRACK
University Students Have Difficult Time Getting
 Lodgings in City.

Petrograd, Oct. 26.-The housing problem in Petrograd has become more and more serious, as refugees have poured in, overcrowding the ho- tels, filling all available lodgings, and producing state of congestion throughout the city. It has proved particularly perplexing to thousands of university students. At present there is hardly an unoccupied apart ment in the city, nor a vacant room in any of the houses which ordinarily let rooms. Private families in com fortab1e circumstances without the slightest need of eking out an income by taking in lodgers, have in many cases generously yielded to the tre- mendous demand for rooms, and dis posed of them at high prices to a pam icky public which filled them with the celerity and eagerness of persons con- fronted with the prospect of sleeping in the parks.
 The predicament of the student class, which having little money to spend, has naturally been unable to compete in the scramble for rooms with doubled or trebled prices, had DecH lIlc SuDJSCt oI several COIleTSHCcS of the university faculties which have made appeals to the city authorities to take immediate measures to provide for the large number of homeless students. Magy of these students are now sleeping on park benches, or spending the night in walking the streets, while the more fortunate ones are sharing rooms which as many as five or six have taken together.
 One proposal is that hotel pCoprie- tors be compelled to give a/certain number of rooms at low rate to stu >dents. Another is that some of the moving picture\theatres be converted into lodging houses, and that the idle steamboats on the Neva be requisition- ed.
 Evidence of the present shortage of lodgings occurs daily in the advertis- ing columns of the newspapers. In some advertisements it is stated that as much as five hundred roubles (two hundred and fifty dollars) will be paid as bonus in addition to the regular rental merely for information lead ing to the lease of desirable apart ment.

THE BOY MOTHER SPOILED.

"'If each mans secret, unguesSed care
 Were written on his brow,
 How many would our pity share
 Who have our envy now!
 And if the promptings of each heart
 No artifice concealed. How many trusting friends would part
 At what they saw revealed"
 I always feel secret sympathy for the girl who weds young man who is his mothers pet. It is natural for a mother to be fond of her only boy, but it is unwise to adore him to the extent of spelling him for the next woman who is to take him in charge from the altar ever afterward.
 If mother has given him his own way in everything, he will find hard travelling on the matrimonial road if he has welded spirited young wo- man who will not. tolerate giving in to his whims right or wrong.
 He had expected to go through life being waited on by the women of his household hand and foot. He comes into the house, losses his coat and hat on the seat of the hall hatraek, know ing some one will hang them up in their proper place. He expects dinner to be ready on the minute and a good one at that, whether he has provided wifey with sufficient cash to pay all the weekly bills or not He wants the evening paper put into his hands at once and gets into a petty fit of anger if conversation is carried on at the table while he is reading.
 He was in the habit of doing this under his mothers roof and is quite unprepared to hear his wife raise de- cided objections, declaring he was at the table to eat and exchange agree able conversation at the same time with those about him and the family paper could be perused later as long and thoroughly as he pleased.
 If mother stints her table to cook just such food as her pet wants, and for him alone, she is putting a huge stumbling block in the path of the fu- ture wife. The wife will expect him to dine on the same dishes that she does, declaring with more annoyance than irony, ''What is food for the goose Is food for the gander."
 If the mother has reduced her clothes to actual shabbiness to put it all on her sons back in more suits than he has actual use for, he will not find wife likely to be so self-sa crificing. If matters are not evened up or reversed, he will find himself constantly in hot water over trying to give a satisfac- tory explanation of why a husband should dress like a king and his wife like a beggar.
 The young man. who has been moth CTS pet is apt to have a quick temper, With little or no concern for. other peoples needs, comforts or happiness. He is more apt than not to develop into the kind of man who does not care a rap how many elderly women are standing if he can but push by main force into, g.. seat on crowded car. In his opinion women have no rights. No matter how intensely a mother may adore her son, she should teach him from boyhood up to be chiv- alrous to all women. In the struggle

was seized with an illness which ter minated quickly and fatally.
 The Coakes of Virginia were a dis tinguished clan in the nineteenth cen tury. John Rodgers Cooke, father of the singer, was a native of Bermuda, and fer 40 years he held high rank among the jurists and lawyers of the Old Dominion. He survived his poet son, dying in Richmond in 1854. An uncle of the poet, Philip St. George Cooke, was a distinguished general, who fought in the Indian wars, led the Mormon Brigade" to California in 1846. commanded in the field dur ing the Kansas troubles, and, all though a Virginian, fought on the Union side in the Civil War, rising to the rank of major-general. John Esten Cooke, brother of the poet gained even greater fame in literature chiefly as a novelist. He served on the Confederate side in the Civil War His novels and short stories depicting phases of Virginia life were marked by exquisite refinement and romantic charm, with an admirable blending of comedy and pathos. Many of his novels are still we'll worth reading notably Leather and Silk" "The Virginia Comedians" "The Last of the Foresters," Survey of Eagles Nest" and Stories of the Old Domin- ion." The novelist survived the bard by many years, dying in 1886.
 Philip Pendleton Cooke was born at Martinsburg on Oct. 26, 1816. He graduated early at Princeton, and, re- turning to Virginia, studied law in the l office of his father. He was admitted to the bar and married before he had attained his majority, but he had no liking for the legal profession and soon abandoned it, as his novelist brother did after him. At Princeton the young Virginian devoted himself principally to the study of poetry and belles-lettres, and while still a boy he wrote several poems which were pub lished in the Knockerbocker Maga- zine. On the establishment of the Southern Literary Messenger, that fa- nous cid publication of the old South which numbered so many gifted men among its contributors. the young bard submitted to it most of shis verse.
 Cooke had the capacity for great undertakings in literature, but he was lacking in industry and ambition. He regarded his muse rather as a loving companion than as a mentor, and spent most of his time in field sports, to which he was ardently devoted. His estate in the beautiful valley of the Shenandoah was surrounded with every temptation to indulgence in his love for sports When he did take up his pen he wrote with ease lines chsER Rcterized by grace, picturesque nesS and animated eoloring, often rising into the most vivid poetry. At the time of his death he was engaged in writing the "Chevalier Merlin," a historical prose poem highly esteemed by competent judges.

THE COOKIES OF VIRGINIA.

This is the centenary of the birth of Philip Pendleton Cooke, a Virginia poet whose works are now little read, but who is worthy of remembrance and fuller appreciation. Many older readers will recall with pleasure and delight his short lyrics, such as Flor ence Vane," "To My Daughter Lily B and Rosa Lee" which were highly popular in the middle of the last cen tury. "Florence Vane" enjoyed a great vogue in Europe as well as in America, was translated into many languages, and taken as theme for music by several celebrated com posers. It was in these brief lyrics that the Virginia bard reached the height of his powers. His "Froissart Ballads are rapid, striking and nov ing poems, but they did not attain the popularity of his briefer efforts. The
 poet was only. B years old when he
