WILL NOT MARRY on FRIDAY
Most Women Still Cling to This Old
Superstition But French Girls
Think That Day Fortunate.

There is no period in a woman's
life that SO completely changes ner
whole existence as marriage, and for
that very reason she is apt to be more
superstitiOus and fanciful at that time
than at any other, and while supersti-
lions are fast becoming Il thing of the
past there are few women who will
not hesitate before making Friday
their wedding day, says London Tit
Bits.
June and October have always been
held us the most propitiOus months, a
happy result being thought by some to
be rendered certain if the ceremony
Is timed so as to take place ut the
full moon or when the sun and moon
are in conjunction.
In Scotland the last day of the year
Is thought to be lucky and if the moon
should happen to be full at any time
when a wedding takes place the
brides cup of happiness is expected
to be always full.
The good people of Perthshire who
have had their banns published at the
end of one and are married at the be-
ginning of another quarter of year
can expect nothing but good things.
The day of the week is also of great
Importance, Sunday being a great
favorite in some parts of England and
Scotland. And although an English
lass would not marry on Friday, the
French girls think the first Friday in
the month particularly fortunate.

New Tyne Of Alrplane.

A new type of airplane has been
planned and constructed by an officer
in the Swedish army, Lieutenant Won
Porat. It differs from ordinary types
in that it is made entirely Of steel
and woven fabrics, with the exception
of the propeller, which is of wood,
and in the arrangement of the wings.
The lower plane of the machine
which is scout byplane with some
resemblance to the Fokker type-lies
for three-quarters of its width back
of the upper plane, instead Of being
directly under it, as in most machines.
The especial advantage claimed for
the new airplane lies in its climbing
ability, which is declared to be 5000
feet in four to five minutes. Its speed
is 100 miles IN hour. The motor is of
I'M horse nnwo.
