one day I went to call. and found her
up to her ears in trouble.
She had a perfectly darling little brides

but her eyes were red when I saw her
and her handkerchief was a little round

greeted me wanly

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women Who
Have shared 1t.
By MARY MARSHALL.

Forty-tve years ago today Eugene
Isaye. the great violinist, married in
Brussels the beautiful Louise Bourdeau.
and thereby hangs the tale of how the
great musician acquired violin that he
had long coveted. Ysaye has long had
two violins. the one longest in his posses
sion was Strad., but this is not so well
suited to all uses as the other. That is
a Guarnerius. 1872. Fifty years or more
ago a charming pupil of the violinist
begged MIN to make i purchase of this
violin which was in the possession of a
collector. No sooner had Ysaye bought
the violin for the pupil than he coveted it.
AT length" said Ysaye once. in telling
the story of the acquisition o; the violin,
lat length I married a lovely lady and
the lovely lady, as it happened. was the
sister of the pupil who owned the Guar
nerius."'
Apparently. Ysaye did not easily per-
suade the sister-in-law to let him have
the violin he admired. At length, how
ever. his pleadings were heard and the
violin did come into his possession.
AT length she succumbCd TO my eXpe-
rience," he explained. "she gave up play
ing entirely and took possession OF the
violin.'
The marriage of Ysaye proved to be a
happy one in every way. There were
five children, who with the lovely lady
always proved to be the greatest source
OF Ysaye's pleasure and happiness.
Eighty-one years ago today Charles
Dickens was married to Catherine Ho-

what is probably the right cXplG ia
tion of this mismating. He recalls the
fact that when Dickens hrst met the

 A. F. Wood EnroIIs in Purple Cross.
 4. F. Wood, Academy street. has en- rolled as a member of the American Purple Cross association, made up of nbalmers throughout the United States.
 This war organization, for such it is, has for it's purpose the putting into effect of a system under which bodies of American soldiers or sailors who die in France may be returned to this country after the war.
 Legislation row pending in congress, when enacted, will give the Purple Cross association official standing and it is expected that it's representatives will be attached to the quarter ster's S department.
 The association's embalmers will prepare bodies of soldiers for burial, see that they are inferred and the graves properly marked so that when the war is over the relatives of the fallen heroes may at least have the consolation of having the bodies re- turned to them for re-burial in ac- cordance with the wishes of relatives. The association, incorporated in the District of Columbia, already has a fund of $15000 with which to start the prosecution of its work. Mr. Wood expressed on Thursday a wish that local people write to the congressman from this district and Senator Bran degee urging their support of con gressional measures intended to aid the Purple Cross.
