Mr Edward Smith and Mr Frank Wollan were the attending witnesses. The groom's occupation Is that of a hotel clerk. Dressed In soldier blue, or In khaki, the 2.000,000 suffragists of the United States are to turn agriculturists, and the secretary of agriculture has indorsed the plan and promised the hearty co-operation of the department of agriculture. The New York Times suggests that one of the first practical measures that the suffragists recommend for the ordinary woman who will do her agricultural work in a small way is to turn her worn-out lawn into a potato field for the coming season. The cultivation and enrichment of the soil which will result will give her a beautiful lawn for another year.

It Is a practical work which the suffragists are beginning in a systematic way to help conserve the forces of the nation, valuable in war or peace. Mrs Henry Wade Rogers, treasurer of the National American Woman Suffrage association, who has boon made chairman of the new department of suffrage agriculture, is a practical farmer, having a farm which she runs herself in Mercer county, New Jersey, near Trenton. A nation-wide appeal Is being mane by the suffragists, through their state presidents and state executive boards, to spread the knowledge that the association has undertaken this work. The census of 1916 shows that large numbers of women are already in the field, the figures for women in agriculture being as follows: Farmers, farm laborers, 4S; farm foremen, gardeners, gardeners' laborers, miscellaneous, about 7,000. Total, 1,802,202.

The sailors were inclined to be embarrassed at the outset amid their gorgeous surroundings, but Mrs McCormick, aided by United States Consul General Keene, soon put them at their ease.

Arrangements have been made by the Society of Independent Artists to stage the exposition in the Grand Central Palace, New York City, April 9 to May 6. Under the slogan, "No Jury-no prizes," artists famed the world over, artists noted in America, and artists yet to struggle for fame, will exhibit paintings or sculpture, or both, with only the public to Judge their merits from the public appreciation which Is largely a matter of association rather than knowledge. As each member has the privilege of exhibiting two pictures, or two pieces of statuary, or one picture and one piece of statuary, and as there are already more than one thousand members, in the society, it is calculated there will be at least 2,000 exhibits, or twice as many as exhibited in the Armory Show of 1913.

Every school of art from the best radical to the most conservative will be represented. Cubists, Futurists, Post-Impressioners, will be there in force. Pictures will be hung on a plan never before devised, not even by Paris. They will be placed in alphabetical order without regard to class or artist's reputation. So it is quite likely as not that a Glackens, a Hawthorne, a Ballows or any one of the famous paintings may be found hanging side by side with the most imaginative lines of the unknown who has never seen the Latin Quarter of Gay Paree, or beside an extreme artist portrait.

Among the extremists who will exhibit at the art exposition is Marcel Duchamp, the famous cubist painter noted chiefly for his "Nude Descending Staircase" and one of his exhibits will be a new cubist painting to he entitled "Tulip Hysteria Coordinating." Mr Duchamp received his inspiration from a yellow tulip bed he saw at a flower show In the Grand The spring shows many transparent hats for afternoon and evening wear.

The juncture of the horsehair, and straw is covered by a bow of pink velvet roses. 700 NEW SPRING COATS AT ATTRACTIVE PRICES xtraordlnary Showing of Coals In the Newest Materials Telonrs, Unrolla Yelours, rolrrt Twills, Caber.

Billy Sunday urged a nation wide dress reform movement and branded modern style tendencies as the work of the devil. All men, including policemen, firemen and newspaper men, were excluded from the auditorium.

"Why don't you women start a dress reform, of the women by the women and for the women?" pleaded the evangelist. "I'm not a crank. I don't want you to dress like my mother did, with a pair of hoops sticking out, but I want you to cover yourselves up when you go out on the streets. Why a man with red blood 'In his veins can't look at half the women on the streets or in the ball room and not have impure thoughts. "By dress reform I do not advocate the wearing of collars above your ears nor hoop skirits, nor dresses that drag on the ground.

Be modest. I like low neck dresses that are modest and not extreme. Low neck dresses Rre comfortable. At least, my wife so. Thysicians say short skirts are sanitary.

I think so, too, but that does not mean skirts that enow six Inches of your leg above your high top shoes. Be modest and be womanly." Reproductions of models that sold at $85 to $40.
