HURRAH RINGLING
DAY ALMOST HERE.
Big Circus and Great Spectacle Occu-
Ply Five Trains Crammed With
Wonders.

The big event for which the young
sters and grownups have been impa-
tiently waiting is drawing near, for on
Saturday, May 10, Ringing Brothers
circus is to exhibit afternoon and
night in Atlantic City. Expectancy
never ran so high before and it is
likely that this district will send a
large delegation to feed the elephants.
Unusual interest centers around the
gigantic spectacle, cinderella" with
which the famous showmen are this
season opening their wonderful main
tent program. cinderella" is prob
ably the best loved of all fairy tales
and to see it produced with more than
1000 persons, hundreds of dancing
girls and glorious pageants, indeed
gives promise of making "childhood's
golden dreams come true" In the
same great tent, will come the marvel
u circus numbers in which 400 men
and women performers, scores of
trained animals and a galaxy of spec
ial features are introduced. The ma
jority of the acts are entirely new to
America, the Ringling Bros. having
secured the pick of all European per-
formers who have been obliged to seek
engagements in this country. The
all-new street parade will take place
show day morning.

Mary Baker Eddy Memorial. MI Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Mas.

The beautiful memorial to Mary
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Found
Or of Christian Science, has been
burned over to The Christian Science
Board Of Directors by Ebert S.. Bar
low Of New York City who held the
contract for its construction.
The memorial, which Is at Mt. Au-
burn cemetery, Cambridge, Mass, has
required over a year and a half to
complete. The fund for its construc-
ton. amounting to over $780, 900, was
f1rst announced by the directors in
June, 1911, and was some time ago
fully subscribed. These contributions
have been made as expressions Of
sentiment by Christian Scientists
throughout the world.
The site on which the memorial Is
located is not only one Of great nat

grade has rendered possible a more
picturesque and interesting treatment

FORMER PLEASANTVILLE GIRL
A MAY BRIDE

The First Presbyterian Church, At
lantic City, was the scene of a very
pretty wedding on Saturday after
noon, May 18th, at 1.30 o'clock, when
the minister, Rev. Henry Merle Mel
len, united in marriage Miss Maude
Helene Peachey and Mr.. Clarence Til
ton in the presence of the immediate
families.
Miss Evalyn Quick Tyson rendered
several beautiful selections preceding
the Wedding March.
The bride wore a travelling suit of
gray burella cloth and white milan
hat, trimmed with gardenias, and an
ermine capelet. She wore a corsage
bouquet of Bride roses.
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Peachey, Jr.,
and the groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Tilton.
The bride and groom are we'll
known members of the younger social
set, and until recently the bride was
a resident of Pleasantville.
Mr.. Tilton and his bride left i'm
mediately after the ceremony en- route
for the North, and will be cat home
after the first of June at the beauti-
full new dwelling which has just been
erected for them at z South Vassar
Square, Ventnor.

ton In the frieze and upon the top OF

deep into the stone work. The detail,
which on account of the size of the
reproduction is only indicated, il en-
tirely floral in form and free in treat
ment, the wild rose and the morning
glory being used as the main motives.
1t Is interesting intellectually to
note that while 1t Is extremely free In
treatment and not at all conventional,
1t is generally very classic In feeling.
The extreme width of the memorial Is
about fifty feet. and the colonnads 10
eighteen feet In diameter. The col
umns themselves are fifteen feet In
height and are similar in general
character to those in the Clepsydra
of Andronicus OF Cyrrhus. The large
pylons were exhibited at the Amerf-
can Institute of Architecture IN New
York a short time & and experts
pronounced them the finest pieces Of
carved granite ever executed.
The architect Is Egerton Swartwout
Of New York City who designed the
new George Washington memorial,
the new Missouri state capitol and the
new Federal building In Denver.

Thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
] must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the

justly be named Musical Elocution."

WEAPONS OF THE TEACHERS
Evil Methods Inspiring Fear in Hearts
of Children Not Conducive
to Best Results.

Power to produce fear is a poor
weapon. The teacher who uses it is
not doing his best work.
Snakes are feared by reason of their
sting. SO are lions and tigers for rea-
son of their power to produce harm.
Fear is the weapon Of an enemy.
We do not fear our friends, nor can
we fear anything that we love.
Evil is just absence of good; for it
cannot exist where good is. And
evil chooses fear for its weapon.
Neither evil nor fear should exist ID

Good is always stronger than evil !;
love always stronger than fear. Why
should teachers employ evil methods
and inspire fear in the hearts of chill
dren when springs of love are bub.
bling up on every side?
There are smiles, and kind words
and kind thoughts, and deeds of kind
ness and-but the list Is too great tc
complete These inspire love, and a:
weapons are much more efficient than
is fear.
And then there is faith! When
good loses it's trust in its ability tt
overcome, fear disarms and evil con
quers.
An animal will not attack man
who has absolutely no fear Of it
That is the secret of the liontamer's
power. Evil cannot defeat a man whL
is strong in good, and therefore he has
no cause to fear evil.

New York.-It is not possible to III.
vide the new gowns into strongly DIFF.
fering sections. No designer has taken
a period and copied her gowns from 1t
with certainty and eXactitude. All of
the French and American workers have
jumbled their history in way that
would give the seeker after truth a
brainStorm.
It is we'll for the public at large
that the designers do not stick too
closely to period clothes. When the
decorators insist that one cannot
have q curtain, a vase or cushion
in room that is drawn from a GER
tain period, we get beautiful pieces
of interior decorative work which
should be in museum, but which have
little relationship to an intimate home
life.
It is wise for every woman to learn,
and it would be well if one could only
teach the artists and decorators the
same thing, that exhibition work is
one thing, but the kind Of work that
one must live with is another. We
can go to museums or department
shops and see period rooms and period
dress, but human nature resents the
thought of having such limited waking
and sleeping hours. Therefore, we
greet with pleasure the fact that vastly
different periods of history have been
dipped into for the new clothes; but
anachronism is rife.
Cabot and the Empire.
The Cabot gowns were the last to
get to this country, and they pro-
scented no new note, except the intro
duction of the First Empire sill
houette. Even when Cabot took the
most symbolic feature of this period,
which is the high waistline that
slightly girdles the figure just under
the bust, she added medieval sleeves
to 1t that the Empress Josephine
never wore.
The most dominant First Empire
frock that Callot has sent over is Of
brilliant red that is neither goranium,
japanese nor wine She calls 1t Gin
cendie." 1t has the richness of n
ruby in the light and resembles that
jewel to the inexperienced eye more
than the flames from conIia@tatio1.
This gown is not married by trim
ming. AS the French say, it goes
without a garniSh. The neck is not
low in the way that Cabot is apt to
arrange it, and the sleeves not Only
cover the arms ard wrists, but tt,a
back of them hangs to the knees
when the arms are dropped.

bers, the Y. N. c. A. is operating
hostels, where they can get beds and
meals at minimum cost. In Lcndoa
the American Y. NJ. c. A. mas erected

There are Y. NJ. C. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack
ers and other comforts at all hours.

in which to spend the night. These
cars are operated by Englishwomnn
OF position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands Of the soldiers. The i'm

mated by the fact that at least 5o,0oo
soldiers are on leave in London every
