On Tuesday evening, at the resi- dence of the bridegroom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Hausrath, Mount Vernon, N.Y., was solemnized the marriage of Miss Bertha Baiden, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Baiden, Mowat avenue, Portsmouth, to Frederic W. Hausrath, Mount Vernon, N.Y. The bride wore a becoming" gown of white satin crepe and carried a bouquet of bride roses and sweet peas. She was attended by Miss Esther Hausrath, sister of the bride- groom, who was gowned in orchid taffeta and carried pink sweet peas. The best man was Philip DeCamp, of Mount Vernon. Rev, Dr, George Durwood Adams, of Yonkers, was the officiating clergyman. The young couple upon their re- turn from a trip to Bermuda, will reside at 40 Crary avenue, Mount 'Vernon. a [chosen to be one of the few women That the street robin has come forth f{ his winter quarters, and on Sunday morning early church- goers heard his chegrful ' call for breakfast---one rather deep note and five notes a few tones higher. There is no mistaking the robin's call. No doubt he whistled later when he had found food. He is evidently not afraid of cold qr snow, and probably did not go south at all, but sought a more shelfered place for a few months, and now, with a kindly re- membrance of the crumbs and small pieces of raw meat that his Earl street friends gave him last year, thinks he will wait in Kingston for the spring he evidently thinks is on the way. That the following resolution was passed at the December meeting of the Central Council of the Red Cross Society: 'Resolved, That this council express its thanks to the daily, weekly and monthly press of the Dominion of Cangda for its valy- abel support of the society's peace- time policy for the promotion of health, the prevention of disease and the mitigation of suffering and for the liberal allotment of space to re- cording the various acts and en- deavors of the society." That whether you think Kingston Ineeds a Juvenile Court or not, it is {well to know all there is to know on the subject. Miss Whitton, the "jelever Renfrew girl who is an M.A. of Queen's, and has recently been . A ~ to take part in the deliberations of the League of Nations to make the world a safer place for the children of the nations, is a brilliant speaker, and is being. heard twice to-day in Kingston on the subject of the work- ing of Juvenile Courts. That the present style of dress calls for an erect earriage. Dces #nything look worse than a woman in a straight line frock standing with all the weight of her body on one leg ? 'The effect of her smart frock is entirely spoiled. It may or may not have good limes. No one can tell, for the skirt seems longer at one side than the other and the shoulders are not mates. MISS LEMAR TELLS OF RIO JANEIRO Where She Is Principal of a @irls' School--Enjoyed Visit to Kingston. "In thre: weeks I will be as hot as I can be," said Miss Mary Lemar on Saturday morning, while the snow drifted around the street corn- ers and the blue waters of Lake On- tario were imprisoned under a foot of ice. Miss Lemar, who has been visiting her cousin, Mri. J. B. McLeod, Al- fred street, leaves on Tuesday en- route for Rio Janerio, South America, and will arrive at her destination in the height of the Brazilian summer. Bennett College, where she is returning to take over the duties of principal, is closed on December 1st for shmrher holidays, and will re-open on March 1st, but Miss Lemar is going down at once ts get everything in order in this big girls' school, before the pupils ar rive. » Think of having Christmas in the middle of the summer holidays, wouldn't it seem strange? Bennett College, under the diree- tion of the Southern Methodist church, 18 a girls' boarding school and day school. There are about seventy boarders, and from two hun- dred to two hundred and fifty pupils altogether. The pupils can enter at the age of eight years, and small boys are also taken as day scholars but leave at the age of twelve. Co- education is'a new idea in South America and is not general. The public schools are for boys or for girls. Bennett College is always full with a waiting list and a new resi- «dence and another building has been added this year. "We have many girls of the better off class of ns," sald Miss Lemar, "girls, whose mothers would not 'have dreamed of going to school to learn to teach." "Will these girls teach?" Miss Le- mar was tasked, and she replied; "Many of them will. They have been going to Switzerland and to Eng. land when they pass from us, but now they are beginning to come to the United States and like our practical reaching." Bennett College prepares the girls for matriculation and there are also teachers' train ing classes taught by Miss Lemar. It is understood that the board- ing students will accompany their teachers to the Methodigy church and Sunday school, but no pressure is brought to bear on the girls regard- ing their religion. "Comparative Re- ligions" and '""The History of Christ janity'" are two of the books studied by the higher classes, and while the Bible is read in school every day the study' 6f these - books is voluntary and yet no girl has ever been known to decide against studying them. The pupils are taught in their own language, Portuguese, but many of them speak English beautifully. "Much more beautifully than our Americans or you Canadians," sald Miss Lemar. "They don't use slang and pronounce the words properly," The Brazilians are a hospitable and courteous people and are ex- ceedingly. quick. Classes in Rouse hold economy and domestic science werd greally appreciated. "The girls aré so quick," sald Miss Leman, "I 'expect to find them much advanced when I go back." The Presbyteridn and Baptist churches have similar | colleges, and the Methodist church | has six boys' and six girls' schools in smaller towns. { The Portuguese are very fond of | mysic and the National Conserva- tory 'of Music, being near, three teachers cofiie in every day to teach music to the girls in the = college. The National school of Pine Arts is also near at hand. "1 love the work," said Miss Le- mar, "and it is quite worth while, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Kingston. I have been right royally entertained. I think everyone wants to play as well as to work and we try to make the girls all round well balanced women. I play bridge. Why shouldn't 1? I don't get time when I am at work, but I love a game when I gm on a holiday" EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEING By Laura A. Kirkman.
