UNUSUAL OCCUPATIONS IN AMERICA In tho United States someone lias boon compiling a pamphlet on feminine progress in unusual occupations during the lust ten years. Considering that women, unlike meh, usually give up their occupations oh marriage, tho increase is really striking .Electricians, farmers, and gardeners of all grades* arc now much more in nunvber, while apiarist? Among women .are altio more known. Mechanical and civil engineers are also of tenor of. our wx than was formerly the case. Women chauffeurs, 33 in number ten years ago/ are now 949. A certain number of women again, are either owners or managers of lumber or timber camps, and this occupation also is not less frequently followed than formerly. In the professions there is, of course, a great increase. Tho much-de-bated question of the elergywoman has resulted in some advancement in America. That reminds Us Hint in Bristol (England) dhe Wesleyan Conference lately reported-: "First, the widespread changes in tho work and status of women have created a new situation, which demands file fresh eonsi<ieration of the church as n whole; second, tho committeo was not aware of any function in the ordained ministry for which a woman is disqualified merely on the ground

, of sex; thirdly. Wesleyan organisation , nn<| tradition inlorpo-e serious practical , difficulties, which may <tr may not be . decisive against a projvosal to admit wo- ; men at present to the itinerant niinis- , try.” Yet -tradition does toll u< that Plane- Morris was ."based on actual fact. . and women preached ns Wesloyans, at. least when that .preaching was done in the open. BRIDAL FLOWERS Wreaths have always been associated , with weddings, perhaps because circles denot.o eternity, and therefore the continuity of human love. 'Flic rose-1 ho flower of love—is a favourite bridal flower. Italian girls wear wreaths of white ro-os, and do the brides of the .French provinces, of Switzerland. In Spain, crimson rose- are favoured; sometimes carnations. In Bohemia a rosemary v. :ea 4 ii is worn; while in Iho Isles of Greece, vine-leaves, symbol of fruitfulness, do:k the bride’s hair. Few British brides omit the traditional orange blossom from their toilette. If not worn actually ns a bridal wreath over the veil, it figures .in sprigs or trails upon the train or elsewhere on tho wedding gown. It is a symbol of good luck, and t fie notion is borne out by the old saying that, ‘'whore the orange tree prows, there is Paradise.” with the implication of sunshine. And although the English bride cannot he said to got n largo share of sunshine at home, she knows that the ideal proscription for a happy married life in Hm ideal In,me is that she and her husband should bo metaphorically sunny in their lives. £om f ‘ limy wonder, hr Hie way, wlir the ornngle-bluvssoni of Minnv lamb anil Hot the rose or fnrget-menots, for instance, of England, should be favoured ■hy English brides. The custom is put down to a tradition doting back to the j times of the Crusades. |n the East Iho ! orantro tree hear: ripe fruit and Mo»som i at the same time, and so the Saracens ’ thought Hie flower a good symlxiT of n ' happy marriage.
