Bridal Suit a Pair of Pajamas

Clad in pajamas, socks and slip
pers, and covered by a macintosh,
a bridegroom was seen a few weeks
ago hurrying into a London register
office.
The man had taken out a license
to be married an hour before the
usual time, explaining to the registrar
that an early ceremony was desired
as his fiancee and himself wished to
catch train Immediately after the
ceremony. When he entered the reg
lister office about six inches of his
pajamas were showing below his
macintosh.
He apologized to his bride and to
the registrar, explaining that he had
oversight, and that if he had stopped
to dress they would have missed their
train.
After the ceremony the registrar
turned to complete the certificate,
and while the wife paid the balance
of the license the husband rushed
downstairs and, in the waiting car,

The road gives the territory the ser.
vices of a horticulturist who advises
with the growers in the selection of
ground for fruits, and in the manner
they should be cultivated. Financial
aid is also given.
An easy payment plan has been
adopted by the road so that all small

year, and then paid for on terms.
Everything possible is being done by
the road to develop cutover land into
a truck-growing center.
This year stress has been put on
the growing of Satsuma oranges. It
has been proved that 1O-year-Old
trees will net $1,000. The record
bearing trees so far is one on which
$500 oranges were grown one season.
The road is also promoting the
growing of strawberries. Twenty
families have located near Landon to

WONDERS
OF AMERICA
THE PLYMOUTH ROCK
ByT.T.MAXEY
O. Western Newspaper Union.

VTTHEN the Pilgrim Fathers landed
w from the MayhOwer at Plymouth,
Massachusetts, they stepped out upon
a boulder which has become famous
as the Plymouth Rock.
This rock Is said to weigh seven
tons, possess a greenish hue, to be
very hard and its surface capable OF
taking a high polish. Oval in shape
and having a fat top, It offered q
made-to-Order landing place for the
forefathers. Scientists declare that It
was undoubtedly carried By q glacier,
from some strange and distant land.
Like most movable things Of pecul-
lar historic value, a loving public has
been wont to disturb this valued relic
and change It's location. In 1774,
while plans were under way to move
the rock to the town square, It was
discovered that the action Of the ele-
ments had separated the upper and
lower portions. Nevertheless, the top
portion was moved. In 1890 years
later-it was again moved, this time
to location In front Of Pilgrim Hall
and inclOsed with an iron fence. Here
It remained for fOrty-six years. Then
Il was decided that the rock should
he returned to It's original location.
Accordingly, after q separation Of
more than one hundred years, the up.
per portion Of the rock was carefully
placed over the lower portion, where
It now repOses under an ornate can.
Opy.
Here, this treasured shrine, to which
come visitors from every cline, shall
undoubtedly remain for all time, look
ing much the same as when its side
was first grazed by the good ship
Mayhower.

less than half Of what they formerly

Should the Girl Propose?
What Is Your Opinion?

(This letter won the prize in an
English publication as the best on the
subject. What do the readers of, this
paper think on the topic?)
This is one Of the great home ques-
lions. of the day and one which af-
fects every young man and woman.
In my opinion before asking a girl
to marry him, a man likes to be in
a position to offer her a decent home,
and very often a girl would not I'M
derstand and would not take into con-
sideration these financial circun-
stances.
A girl, again, gets fits of emotion
and cannot suppress her feelings like
man. So, if she suddenly found
she was in love and the privilege was
hers, she would propose, perhaps with
disastrous results when she realized
her love was merely a passing fancy.
If woman really loves a man, and
he may not at first love her, she can,
by her own subtle instincts, so act
upon his feelings as to make him love
her intensely-if not propose. Yet,
if she had the privilege, instead of
persevering to win his affections, she
would have asked him almost straight
away-and probably have been re-
fused.
1t would be distasteful to every
man to have the most sacred privilege
of his life saken away from him, and
what is more, there could never be
the same amount of happiness in mar
riage if the husband always had the
reflection that he had been, so to
speak, driven into it. And who knows
to what reproaches this might lead?
I am sure most girls, if given the
option, would refuse to propose. It
is much more satisfying to a girl to
know that the words which are so
greatly to affect her after life were
spoken by the man she loved of his
own free will.

Initial cost, length of service, cost
Of upkeep and length Of time required
to effect the necessary repairs are
the vital factors in selecting a paw
ing material, according to Clifford
M. Pickney, head of the Bureau Of
Engineering, New York City.
And the consideration of all these
factors has made the New York Bur-
eau of Engineering reach the deci-
sion that asphalt gives the best Serv-
Ice for city roads, where the traffic is
heavy and practically constant, and
where closing a street, when a new
pavement is required, for any length
of time, leads to loss of time and
money to the travelling public and
causes great annoyance.
1--WE have found that when repairs
are necessary in one of the streets,
we do not have to close that block
to traffic in many instances, or if we
DO that we can repair a block a day
and open it for traffic when the men
finish their work at night, If the
pavements are of asphalt" says Mr..
Pinckney. "When the street is paved
with another material, it is different.
Then we have to close the block to
:rafic until we can remove the old
and WORKOUT pavement and replace
It with new.
Careful compilation of costs show
as that our repairs are considerably

Long Distance Marriage

An English girl has discovered that
the lass who loves a sailor has more
or less disappointment before her.
She lives in London and was engaged
to a sailorman. The cruiser, to which
he was attached, was not scheduled
to visit English waters and he could
not secure a long leave of absence.
Where there's will there's a way,
so his fiance secured a marriage Ii
cense in London to marry him in
Madrid, a port of call for him. When
she reached there he had gone to Gil
braltar. She followed but discovered
her license was not good in that city.
His next port Of call was CONSTANT
nople, so she hurried ahead of him
and secured the proper license to
marry in the Turkish capital. Their
place of residence has not been decid-
ed upon.

Kidnapped" Wife

Charles Sabbatino, Brooklyn hus-
band, had difficulty with his wife
and they separated. Sabbatino sought
a reconciliation, took his wife for a
motor ride and gave her $500 in cash,
as a present. He promised her an ad-
ditional $500 if she would meet him
the following day. The time and
place were set and Mrs. Sabbatino
kept the date, accompanied by two
husky policemen, who took her hus-
band into custody. The Magistrate,
before whom he was taken, informed
Mrs. Sabbatino he did not think she
had treated her husband right and
proceeded to discharge him from Gus
tody. The proceedings have caused
Sabbatino's love to cool and he now
says he does not want to become rec
onciled to his wife.
