WOMAN COMES oUT AS WEDDING DIRECTOR Boston Lady Opems a New Way by Which Her Sex Can Win Momey. A wide-awake woman in Boston has found a new outlet for woman's ac- tivity by taking charge of weddings. On the day of the marriage ceremony the bride and the bride’s mother are generally too busy and too tired to give much attention to the management of details. As a helper in this household emergency the wedding director fills a | long-felt want. The name of this pio- neer is Mrs. Nellie Bliffins and she lives | with her husband and daughter on Bos- ton's aristocratic Beacon street. Mrs. Bliffins’ method is to get to the | house early and to give her first atten- | She sees to it that the dress, gloves and slippers are She then takes charge of the packing. The bride eats her lunch- | eon in comfort, knowing that every- | things she needs will be in her bags | ana trunks, carefuily inventoricd in a Mrs. Bliffins is at the church door before the marriage ceremony to give the last touches to the bride’'s gown before the bride enters the church. The girl’'s mother is even saved from hav- ing to see that the rooms are put in order after the newly wedded wife has gone on her wedding tour. Mrs. Bliffins attends to all that. The value of the work of the wed- ding director is best attested by the popularity it has attained. Most of her | business, Mrs. Bliffins says, comes in- | directly. It has grown on the princi- ple of the advertisement of a certain merchant some years ago: “If you don’'t like It, tell me; if you do like it, tell others.” | At first many peaple were inclined to | pooh-pooh the idea of a wedding di- { rector. To-day, however, they have learned that even to run a wedding properly takes some expert knowledge. Mrs. Bliffing is a student of design and { decorative art as well as of the chang- | ing fashions. Frequent visits to New York and occasional ones to Paris en- able her to bring back ideas of how | they manage these things in other plages. But more valuable vet are the suggestions her woman's wit and her woman's taste enable her to add to the | convenience or the beauty of the wed- | ding.—Philadelphia Telegraph. — e The “Why” in Men's Hats. that the melancholy days are comt gaid the man with a new hat, “when men must buy for themselves new headgear, there appears again demanding attention the baffiing, unsolved mystery of who makes the Styles. What man or get of men dictate that the crowns of men's hats shall be so high this season and so low next; that the curl and width of the brim shall vary from season unto season? In what mysterious plays, by what band of low-browed conspirators, is the ‘gent’s fall style of hat’ evolved and 8o constructed that you cannot wear last vear's head covering without the fact being patent to the most casual ob- server? And how do these people man- age to make 2 whole nation obey their edicts unquestioningly? s “We know all about how styles for ‘women in hats and gowns are produced. Certain man-milliners and man-dressmalk- ers in Paris do that trick, but men's styles seem to be orl here in this otherwise free country, and what I want to know is—who does it?"—New York Press. ! ‘Weather Report.

It is well to remember that an open door to commerce in the Far East is of no particular value unless it is assalled by energetic salesmanship. It is net enough that we have made the peace by our frank diplomacy. The necessary step through the door which we have opened our keenest commercial rival in all the ports of the world is making ready to take. At Shanghai, at the threshold of Asiatic commerce, where the needs and methods are plain to see, the consul general of the German em- pire, Dr. Knappe, has issued to the Ger- man commercial community a letter in which the subject is discussed and a very practical suggestion made, in these words: “After the conclusion of the Russo-Jap- anese war the conditions regulating bus- iness with China will presumably undergo a considerable change. The more the Japanese come to the fore as competitors, the more will the system of direct inter- course between producing and consuming centers develop. Various circumstances lead to the conclusion that in the near future business men must be prepared to deal directly with the Chinese. They must march with the times, and especial- ly with their Japanese rivals—that is to say, they must learn Chinese. My idea is to organize a course of instruction in Chinese for German business men. The interpreter of the consulate general and the commerclal experts attached to the consulate have promised their support. It will also be an easy matter to engage permanently several suitable lecturers.” A bit of English verse had once some popularity, not so much for the art of its poetry as for the soundness of its ad- vice never to g0 to France unless you know the 1ingo, for if you did you surely would repent, by Jjingo.

MANY DEAD STREETS IN EUROPEAN CITIES 13—Stmr Em- via Yoko- 14—Stmr Southwark, from Once Busy Thoroughfares Now Limed ‘With Rovws of Deserted Houses. Deserted towns were common out West seldom recorded in abroad. Many of these are the result of litiga- tion, as in the case of a block of seven houses in Versailles, where a lawsuit over an estate has left the property without tenants for eleven vears. So warm has been the dispute that the interested par- ties cannot ever agree upon a caretaker, and the middle house, once occupied by the owner of the property, is filled with handsome furniture and effects which are slowly rotting because of lack of care. Bromberg, in Posen, contains two streets of about thirty houses owned by a German who refuses to rent except to his own countrymen. His inability to secure other tenants than Poles has left the houses upon his hands for several years. Moscow has a.row of seventeen hand- some houses left without tenants because of two murders and a suicide within a few months. The notoriety given the cases drove out the tenants, and no oth- ers have been found willing to take chances on the ghostly perambulations of the trio. In Charlottenburg, Berlin, eight houses are untenanted because their owner ob- Jjected to the noise made by the tenants, ‘while twenty houses in Odessa have never had a tenant, their owner having run them up in such a hurry that the build- ing authorities intervened and he was forced to flee to Constantinople. ‘Budapest's dead street is a row of twen- ty-three cottages which no one will oc- cupy. For some unexplained reason the death rate was four times the normal figures and no tenants can be obtained.— Chicago Tribune. —_————— Temptations of a Valet.

Wright, | the San Francisco man, this afternoon | in his match with Charles S. Morris in | the fourth game of the national bil- liard championship tournament at the Chicago Athletic Association. The high run of the tournament was madé by | the Pacific Coast player in the third inning, when he gathered a cluster of | 111, This is likely to stand as the high | run of the tourney. Wright won by the decisive score of 300 to 179. Wright won bank, but his first inning only brought him four points. In the second he missed. but | in the third he got going in fine shape | and took a commanding lead in the game which he had no trouble in main- | taining. Norris played consistently and | worked hard to get within striking | distance of his opponent, who showed a form reversal over his performance of Monday night when he was beaten by Gardner. | If Wright can keep up the pace ho is playing today he will be a factor in the championship. Scores: Wright—4, 0. 111, 25, 0, 10, 0, 4. 2 1, 2 9, 2, 4,39, 4, i, 0, 9, 1, 32-3060. ' High . 35, 32 . 137-11. | Norris—0, 2, 6, 1, 2120, 1. 7. 4. 0, 3. 0, 19, 9, 1. 0. 3, 0, 6, 31, 13. 3, 8—179.

The score stood 300 to 2%0| in the Eastern man's favor when the bat- | tle was over. Conklin was first to get his stroke and in his fourth inning cor- raled 41 points from various angles.

Again in the eleventh in- ning Poggenburg scored 30, but after| that he fell down miserably. Although | leading all the way. it was only by dinl; of the hardest kind of work he was able to stall oft his rival.

JAPAN'S INITIAL NAVAL VICTORY _— | Chinese Armada Destroyed Largely by | Intervention of the Elements Centuries Ago. In a book recently isued by Okakura- | Yoshisabura entitled “The Japanese | Spirit,” the writer gives a brief account | of the destruction of a former armada | more than 600 years ago—an event which | took place in the same locality as the battle of May 28, but which was due as | much to the elements as to the intrepidity | and courage of the Japanese In resisting invasion. Mr. Okakura says: The mighty Kublai, grandson of the | great Genghiz Khan, haughty with his| resistless army, whose devastating intre- pidity taught even Europe to tremble at | the mention of his name, dispatched Inj embassy to the Japanese court to demand the subjection of the country. The mes- sage was referred to Kamakura, then the seat of the Hojoregency, and was, of | course, indignantly dismissed. Enraged at this, Kubai equipped a large number | of vessels with the choicest saflors China could furnish. The Invading force was successful at| first and committed massacres in Iki and | Thurshima, islands lying between Korea | and Japan. The position was menacing: even the steel nerves of the trained sa- murai felt that strange thrill a patriot | knows. Shinto priests and Buddhlsti monks were equally busy at their pray- | ers. A new embassy came from the | | | | threatening Mongol leader. The imperi- ous Embassadors were taken to Kama- | kura to be put to death as an unmistaka- ble sign of contemptuous refusal. A tremendous Chinese fleet gathered in the boisterous Bay of Genkal in the sum- mer of 1281. At last the evening came with the ominous glow on the harizon that foretells an approaching storm. It was the plan of the conquering army vie- torfously to land the next morning on the holy soil of Kyushu. But during this | critical night a fearful typhoon, known to this day as the “divine storm,” arose, breaking the jet-black sky with its tre- mendous roar of thunder and bathing the glittering armor of our soldiers guarding the coast line in white flashes of dazzling | light. The very heaven and earth shook before the mighty anger of nature. The result was that the dawn of the next morning saw the whole fleet of the proud Yuan that had darkeneéd the water for miles completely swept away into the Bottomless Sea of Genkal, to the great relief of the horror-stricken populace and to the unspeakable disappointment of our determined soldiers, Out of the hundred thousand warriors who manned the in- vading ships only three are recorded to have survived the destruction to tell the dismal tale to their khan.—Japan Chronicle. crestfallen great complicated it is oF of how long standing. you are sure of 2 oure.
