ToDAY's ANNIVERSARIES.

The Declaration of Independence was received in New York on this day in the year 1776. The populace was swept away in a .burst of enthusiasm for the cause of freedom and in its enthusiasm destroyed the statue of King George. Just one year to a day later Major Gen. Prescott of the Brit ish army, was captured by the Con- tinentaI forces. Another interesting birthday that falls on this date Is that of Benjamin F. De Costa. the noted clergyman4 He was the founder of the White Cross Society, He was born on July 10. 1881. Astronomers will celebrate this day as the anni- versary of the birth of one of the most noted Of their profession. name ly Alvan G, Clark, who was born on this day in the year 1882.

ANN HATHAWAY.


 Many points in Shakespeare's life are obscure, but it is known that his wife's maiden name was Anne Hath away. She was the daughter of a 'tsubstantial yoeman'' at Shottery. near Stratford- d-on-Avon. Shakes peare was barely 1s when he mar ried, while Anne at the time was 26. The marriage took place in November. .1582. While little Is known of their domestic life. there are indications that it was not very affectionate. This conclusion is reached by a perusal of Shakespearess will. Every mem Der of the family, his two daughters. his sister. her three sons and a great number of friends are mentioned, but there is only one small item in regard to Anne Shakespeare. That item reads: I give unto my wife my sec end best bed, with the furniture" !" From this it appears that Shakes peare forgot all about her in his will and mentioned her only in an item, being proof of his lack of affection. She died Aug. 6, 1923, and Hes buried in Stratford Church.

American Soldiers
 May Take Wives On
 Continental Trip

Liverpool, July 10-Speculating edi- torially on whether the men of the American army will marry English wives to any appreciable extent, the Liverpool Post says:
 will American men marry here :? We wonder if the coming of the American army will have any effect upon the matrimonial prospects of our girls. For some reason, the men of the New World have hitherto never shown any great eagerness to take brides from the Old. and even the theory that this is because it has not been the way of the American man to cross the Atlantic, though it is con- soling to our national vanity, does not work. For it is noticeable that the Canadians, who have abounded in our midst during the past three, years, are not nearly as fond of marrying into this country as are, for example, Aus tralians.
 Few of the young men from Aus tralia seem to want to, return home without English brides, but the Cana dians either are married when they come or show a disposition to remain single.
 "stilI, there is no need for the girls to dispair yet, and if some of them do not spend their lives as matrons in the United States we shall be sur prised. Certainly it will not be theig fault, as they show a most amiab1e de- sire to like any of the American naval and military and medical men they have seen, although in some ways the fellow citizens of President Wilson are so curiously unlike our own mem

The lawn -fete for the benefit of the Red Cross held at, the home of MT. and Mrs. Arthur J. Hull. Satur- day afternoon proved to be one of the pleasantest social affairs of the season. About 200 guests including several motor parties from out of town were served on the spacious lawns. Chances were sold on a dresser scarf and pin cushion which was won by Dr. g. M. Garlick of Bridgeport. A large box of candy was won by Mrs. Wheeler of Bridge port and g. jewel box by Mrs. Milon Hawley. Mrs. George Powell disposed of number of fancy and utility ar- ticles at her booth.
 The lawn was prettily decorated with the national colors and Red Cross banners showing a, good de&l of hard work as we'll as artistic taste.

A WOMAN's VOCATION.

One of our modtrn writers has said, "A woman is as efficient in business as a man-when she is."
 The reason why sometimes she is not so efficient is that her health may fail. But the wise business woman knows now what to do when attacked by the ailments peculiar to the so- called weaker sex.' That greatest of all remedies for woman's ills, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been freeing women from such an ailment, and insure your compe- tency and efficiency in the business world-Ady
