in GETTING MARRIED"

LADY MARY'S LONDON SOCIETY

Duke and Ducehss of Devonshire were alive, made her specially notable. Tn fact, so successful were her efforts both
 as a tragedian and cofedian, that at one time Sir Herbert Tree was extremely
 anxious to engage her as his leading lady at his Majesty's theatre.
 I am told that the bride looked won-
 derfully youthful in her wedding gown of palest cream -colored crepe de chine and lovely old rose point lace This was,
 I fancy the almost priceless specimen
 of this rare lace which was presented to her by the late Duchess of Devonshire
 to the girl with express instructions that
 it should be used for wedding yell As
 matter of fact, however. it formed a
 part of the long square train which fell
 from her shoulders, while her veil was
 of chiffon draped in square points at
 the side from Russian coronet of pearls.
 It would have been very uncharacterist!c
 if the bride had not evolved some touch of originality in her wedding costume. This she secured by carrying huge sheaf of deep orange and black tiger lilies.
 It is interesting to remember in con- nection with Mrs. Warde's amateur dra- matic career that she studied dancing and stage department with Mime. Cava- iazzi Mapleson, who was the wife ot one of the famous mpresarios sons and herself a great ballet dancer. It is only a few years ago since Mime. Cavalazz Maplesdn had a successful school of dancing and stage department in New York, where many years before she hat made a success as prima ballerina al the Metropolitan Opera House.

Recruits Need Supple Muscles

Directions for acquiring the supple ness necessary to the soldier or sailor are given at length in Everybody's by Henry Rood, who says, among other things:
 ITO do your work in the army you will have to be supple as well as muscular. Too many civilians of military age are not supple When you first arise in the morning, and again just before going to bed, take 10 or 15 minutes for simple setting-up exercises. Go through these preferably in your underclothes; wear stockings if you choose, put it is well not to wear shoes at first
 stand erect chest thrown out. hands hanging naturally at sides, feet planted firmly on floor, about six inches apart. Raise both hands as high as you can, locking thumbs overhead. Lean your head backward until you can see your finger-nails. Keep your eyes on those finger-nails all the time. Now bent for ward-knees absolutely rigid-until your hands touch the floor in front of you, and slowly come back to the original
 position, with hands raised high above your head, not bending your knees In the slightest, and with eyes on your nnger- nails from start to finish.
 DO this several times each morning and each evening-and in between if you have opportunity. Gradually increase the number of such exercises and see how quickly and how naturally you com mence to loosen up as well as straight 1! en up.
 1 N.If this first setting-up exercise seems somewhat difficult at first, owing 10 stln ness of muscles or too much fat, do moi he discouraged. You will soon get usee l to it. and once in the army you'll have l to-and you'll have lot in addition
