In anticipation oi this, provision- al arrangements have been made to equip Caxton Hall for the work.

The office in Princes-row has been described as "dingy" and “in- adequate to the needs of the dis- trict," but nevertheless it has prob- ably been the scene of more roman- tic weddings than any other regis- ter office.

GARDENING

nor: i..-:r.. recur-sonar. ;; nub‘

The wise garden maker is cnrciul to pruiio his early flowering shrubs as soon as they are through bloom- ing, provided such pruning is neces- sary. If he waits until next winter he will sacrifice many flowers. The pruning oi shrubs consists oi thin- ning out and removing some oi the older wood in order that new shoots may have a chance to develop. It is the new shoots which come along year after year that produce the best flowering branches. The gard- ener who runs aniuck with the pruning shears at this season is likely to do more harm than good. Heavy pruning is injurious. The proper plan is to do a little eutiing cach ycar, and in such manner that he natural growth of the speci- men or group is not. spoiled. Old canes should be removed where they emerge from thc giound. Cutting off the tops oi the branches gives an unnatural and trimmed appear- ance. EvERGREENs

The articles donated for the Queen's own box, which goes to Her Mnjestys Hospital in Hamp- stead, were exquisitely dainty and are always personally inspected by Her Majesty who, for many years past, has acknowledged them with gracious good wishes for the Society's welfare.

No Woman is Fit to Bring up Children, De- clares “Advanced” Thinker -- Boarding- House and Companionship of Con- temporaries Urged for Childish Mother

Dear Miss Dix-J am engaged to a. man who is all that my (lrf-‘Bmfi could desire, except that he has very advanced ideas about women. He says that all women should be chloroformed at 40, as they develop into naggers, religious maniacs or go in for frills and furbelows, neglecting their husbands or affecting an air of superiority, supposedly because of their finer spiritual instincts, assumed for l ns oi their own. He declares that women are un- important except biologically, and totally unfit in train and discipline childrien, and that the Mor- mon or Mo.‘ mmed cultural systems are the best. Hither, he says that women are overrated in this country and that we are fast becoming a race oi sissies and ill-mannered boors because oi women's dominating influence.

I don't see how I could ever let this mango out of my life, and we are happy together, except when we stay at home and get to talking. What shall I do? GRACE. Answer:

If you marry this man, you will certainly need to develop your funnybone, because it will require s robust sense of humor in be able to laugh ofi his alleged opinions oi your sex instead of letting him get your goat, as the slang phrase goes.

And perhaps you are not very fond oi jokes. Illew of us enjoy them whenthey are on ourselves, or about something that we hold dear and But evidently

To say that all women at middle age develop into riaggers or fanatics is such nonsense and so untrue that the charge is not worth refuting. Quite the contrary is the case, for it takes a woman half a. lifetime to acquire sportsmanship and tolerance and adroitness in sidestepping the peculiarities of people instead of bumping into them. ,

Taking them by and large, huddle-aged women are much easier to get along with than young ones because it takes experience to teach us that so many things that we once thought important are not important at all, and that other people have as much rigiht to their opinions as we have to ours. It is only brides who try to make over thdr husbands and nag them about their faults. By the time ii woman is 40 she has seen that it is futile to attempt; to change a man and, anyway, ii he gets any pleasure out of doing his own way, let him do it. ,

Oi course, it really proves nothing for the kettle to ceill thc pot black, but, as a matter oi fact, the huddle-aged woman stacks up about as well as thc middle-aged man. A stout lady is no harder on the eyes than a. bay-widowed and bald-headed gentleman. On an average, thc middle- aged woman is as intelligent as thc middle-aged man and she reads more, belongs to more cultural clubs, and goes to hear better music than he does. And she is generally as amiable and easy to get along with. So ii we are going to get out the chloroform bottle for those who are not an adornment l0 thc human race, we had as well give the men a whiff oi it,

As_ to whether women are fit to bring up children or not-well, they have done it ior a. good many thousand oi years and they seem to have made a fairly good job of it. with exceptions, oi course, as in the case oi the man who looks down on the mother who bore him and regards with contempt the Willflilll he is proposing to marry. But I wonder why ho wants to marry such a poor creature? DORQIHY DIX.
