SCORNING THE IDLE HONEYMOON. HE young woman novelist and playwright who grudges the time it takes to be married, and who announces that she “must carry the proofs of her new book on the wedding journey to correct them,” appears to excite wide admiration by her gttitude. We wonder why? Surely the honeymoon has not lost all its character of a time when bride and bridegroom who can afford it shut out the work-a-day world and consider only each other. A man would feel that there was something very wrong if he could not put aside business when he started on his wedding trip. It might be thought that successful young writers of romance with little enough to worry them would be the first to insist on the But after all efficiency is efficiency, sand writing absorbing and beautiful adventures takes just that much ideal, old-fashioned honeymoon. _ time from living them. ——_———_+.

Clothes mean a great deal to a girl in school and they should be of good material and made up strietly along fashion- able lines.

In 1811, writes James Melvin Lee in Cartoons Magazine, the struggle between the Democrats and the Federals for the control of Massachusetts was extrem bitter, The Democrats had elected Elbridge Gerry Govern- or and had carried both Houses of the Legislature, To retain this su- premacy they remapped the Sen- atorial districts and divided the power of their political adversaries by paying no attention to county boundaries, In Kgsex Sopa. the re- lation of the district to the tor county thus laid out hung in the office of the Massachusetts Sentinel. One day as Gilbert Stuart (painter of the famous portrait of Washing: ton) gazed at the map, he remarked that the towns as they had been sembled looked like somo monstr animal, A few touches of his pen ell added the wings and claws and ho christened the creature a sala mander, At the suggestion of Ru: sell, the editor, the name was changed t “Gerrymander,” The cartoon thereafter frequently appeared in a “broadside,” while the term became one of reproach to the Legislati by, ie that had distinguished itself WR was act of political turpitude,
