to-De race more imaginary troubles
than is generally believed. Even the
most sensible and level-headed wom-
!. u are in fear over some old bridal
uperstitions. am besieged with
letters from brides-to-be begging me
tell them what these superstitions
are, that they may steer clear of the
rocks which are supposed to bode I'M
pleasantness, and point out the guild
ing post to joy and happiness.
To begin with, there are certain
dates upon the calendar which can
not be fixed upon for the eventful day,
as brides for many generations back
have been warned against them.
Therefore be governed accordingly.
The days set down as being unlucky
are: January 1, 2, 4, 5, z, 10 Is;
February 8, z, 10; March 1, 9, g.;
April 6, IL; May 5, 8, g.; June 2, 10;
July 5, 10; August Is, 10; September
6. z; October 6; November Is, 16, and
December Is. 16, IL.
December is deemed the luckiest
month in all the year for marriage.
The old adage also warned the
enamored bride-to-be that "change the
name and not the letter is to change
for worse and not for better" It is
an overbold woman whose vanity leads
her to don her bridal robe in its en-
ltirety before the hour set for the cere-
Emony. No bride should 60 to the altar
without something old and some
thing new, something borrowed and
something blue" She should be care
full to put on her right shoe first. She
must see to It that horse shoe Is
concealed in the flowers beneath which
the ceremony is performed. A wish
bone must accompany 1t. To try on
wedding ring before the ceremony is
said to invite MISUNDERSTANDING. II
4 she takes hand in making her own
wedding cake, she will be pretty APT
ever after to have no one to cook or
bake for her. According to the rise OF
fall OF the cake, her good or poor
fortune Is indicated. No bride OF
groom must turn their heads backward
after once starting to the altar. Post
ponement of a wedding is most unfor
tunate. Should second postpone
ment be deemed necessary. for any
cause whatever, 1t might be as vel
to break of the match altogether. Il
"a extremely doubtful IL 1t would evel
culminate In marriage. The last warn
ing is:
Marry in Lent
And you'll i've to repent.
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1917-03-03
Marry in Lent
And you'll live to repent.

Happy Is the bride who refuses to
WORRY or place her faith In supersti-
tions. There were never two romances
that ended alike. All brides should De
happy.

Match Manufacturer Dies.

William H. Swift, one of Whining
toms most widely known business
men, died in Philadelphia on April

He was born near Norristown, Pa,
on September IA, 1886. He came

the name of the Swift G Courtney

BRIDGE CASE DISMISSED.
Court Sustains Public Service Com.
mission In Reducing Perry
vile Bridge Tolls.

III an opinion handed down in
Circuit Court No. 2, Judge Bond
states that he will sign a decree dis
missing, with costs, the suit of the
| Havre de Grace and Perryville
Bridge Company to enjoin the Pub
lie Service Commission from at
tempting to enforce the reduced
rates of toll ordered by it for the
company's bridge across the Susque-
hanna river from Havre de Grace to
Perryville. The Commission placed
valuation of $250,000 on the
bridge and cut almost in half the
tolls fixed by the company.
1t was alleged by the company, the
opinion states, that the commission
had proceeded on the wrong quest
throughout in taking as the main
object of it's inquiry the determin-
alton of the question how much
money it was reasonable for the
company to make.
The bridge was built SO years ago
and cost $1,25O,00O. 1t was about
to be torn down under the orders of
the Secretary of War when the
present owners took it over for use
as highway. No money was paid
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
7any for it. The Commission re-
iected the test of the actual outlay
by the present owners and resorted
to an appraisal of value measured by
cost of reproduction. This, the court
inds, was just and reasonable.
Having found no sufficient
ground for rejecting the commits
sion's orders as clearly unreason-
able" the court goes on, "the in
junction is therefore refused"
The case was before the commits
sion twice. After Judge Bond had
heard the company's appeal from the
commissions order, the case was
sent back to the commission for the
consideration of additional testimony
produced in court. The commission
having refused to change its order
after considering the additional
testimony, argument on the contro-
versy was heard by the court.
The decision is a victory for w.
Cabell Bruce and Osborne I. Yellott,
counsel of the commission.

May Establish Military Camp Al
llaVrt, dc ;,raCe.

Estimates upon the cost and
method of construction of a camp
site at Havre de Grace, soon 70 be
submitted to the War Department
by Adjt. Gen. Henry M. Warfleld
will include cost figures of camr
under the cantonment system, camp
under canvas, and a water supply
system. The estimates will demon
strate the practicability of putting
the entire Maryland Infantry Bri-
gade and it's complement of artillery
and calvalry into quarters more per
manent than field camp under
canvas.
Under the cantonment system
troops are quartered IN wooden
structures. The Maryland troops at
war strength would number between
5000 and 1000 men. The men
would live iii sc wooden structures
each 16 feet wide and 206 feet long,
They would mess in 46 buildings
each 200 feet long and 16 feet wide.
Their animals would be quartered
in covered horse shelters Of wood !;
the officers would sleep in special
quarters built with some degree of
permanency, and shower baths,
kitchens and so forth, would all be
wooden buildings. There would
probably be nearly 200 structures-a
good sized village.
