New York, Feb. 19.-Venus was on
the outs with Mars or Jinx had 1t IN
for Hymen. as the astro1ogers put IT.
therefore. in spite of the benign IN,
fluence of St Valentine, Cupid played
in bad luck all the week. He won
through all right, of course. But ne
sustained a good many abrasions and
contusions in the process.
There were. for example, the nup-
tials and compound fractures OF the
Dreenburgs and various friends ana
relatives in a motor car, bent on moth
ried. In avoiding a pile of building ma
terial left by the jinx on Third av-
enue, the chauffeur wrapped the ma
chine and contents around an l. pillar,
with damage to all concerned. An am,
bulance surgeon was summoned instead
of a cleric Four stitches were taken
in the brides cheek and the BRIDE
groom was bendaged and court-plas-
tered. When the ambulance man was
through with them. the happy pair
looked upon each other and decided
gamely that Mr.. J. couldn't be any
worse.
HoIdup Upsets Wedding
And there was the wedding celebra--
tion in Brooklyn completely disrupted
when the jinx arranged a holdup around
! the corner. Into the joy and dancing
Of the post-nuptial festivities dashed
! Jacob CARRIER, with a tale about three
gunner who had requested him in vain
to hand over his money. CARRIER. who
| carried quite a sum with him, had re-
piled by headlong flight and as he
| flashed around the corner, sound OF
many people merrymaking came CRATE
| fully to his ear. In an instant sew
eral dozen wedding guests piled from
| the house and into the taxicabs and
gave chase, to such good purpose that
i they had two suspects down and very
nearly out before the police came to
the rescue of the captives. But mean
while the bridal pair stood in the re-
ceiying line with no line to receive.
Little Wink With Big Trouble
| There was James Mayoni, likewise,
who came to Manhattan from Brook
| Ign to buy pencil which cost him $40.
Mayoni declared in court that Cupid
had nothing to do with the matter, but
Miss May Davis didn't like it, because
! she thought Mayoni winked at her.
She thought this for three blocks and
| then the jinx in a patrolman's uniform
took Mayoni to the night court. May
oni protested he hadn't winked for
days and days. But the magistrate
thought the same as Miss Davis did
and took 10 of Mayoni's dollars.
Garden Has Dog Show
Madison Square Garden was vocal
| this week with the dog show and its
1,SO4 entries. The Russian wolf
bounds bayed in bass notes. the Aire-
dales and collies chimed in on rich
contraltos. and the beagies, elbows and
toy spaniel celebrated lyric soprano.
One Church Broadens
| In spite of all the chatter about
blue laws there is decided broadening
| in the tones OF some local churches.
AT st. Mark sim the -Bowery, for ex-
ample, a Parsee altar was set up on
| Sunday and for the first time in the
history of the church, a Parsee priest
| said the Zoroastrian prayers and light
ed the sacred fire of his faith in an
| Episcopalian sanctuary. The rector
congregation and church choir chanted
the esponses to the Hindu litany.
| Rlotous Theatrical Debate
On the same day, in the Rev. John
Stratton's Calvary Baptist church,
there was held the debate between the
clergyman and William 4. Brady, the
theatrical manager, on theatrical peo-
ple and morals. DIR. Stratton. who
! has put into the discard both the Dar-
win theory of evolution and the scien-
