Warner, to be my wife, promising with dfcriiM a**i*t- ance to he unto thee a hnri*§ and faithful husband until death dp us separate” To which the young bride, substi­ tuting her own name m each ease, rt'jjliedh “ f, Laura E. Warner, do take thee, Fred M. Wilson, to be my husband, promising with divine assistance to be unto thee a loving and faithful wife until death do separate us." At the time, the Friends’ discipline was undergoing » revision,, so that Michael Way, justice of the peace in South Charleston, was invited in to pronounce them man and wife in addi­ tion to this service. The story is tbld that when the three couples applied for their licenses in Springfield the stern old probate judge threatened to call hia friend, , Simeon Warner, to see whether the I young people were trying to play a joke on him. They succeeded, how­ ever, after, a time, in .convincing him . that they were really serious. When the J75 friends and relatives . receive their invitations for the golden anniversary celebration within a few days, they will find on them repli cas reproduced of the t originals as they were sent out 50 years ago, Printed in' Roman italic letters, de­ signation of the time reads us\ fol­ lows? “Fourth Day, Fourth Month, 24th, 1878, at 4J^ P. M.” Because o f the Norse mythological ' origin of Wednesday and the Roman of April, the Quakers declining to use in general the names o f the days of the. week and the months in common usage, substituted this way o f mark­ ing time. This is still a practice among orthodox Quakers. In the double -parlors where now hardwood floors replace the large floral-patterned Brussels carpet, elec trie lights the olden oil lamps, there are still the haircloth sofa, whatnots, oil paintings and corner brackets, and even the large framed hair wreath on the wall before which each couple mixed setting once again now a triple feestivity will'take place. , And when the shadows .lengthen behind the thick gjrove of cedars, Spruce and white pine before' the old homestead on April 24, reads "leading to Glenwide will once again be crowd­ ed, but now with, the automobiles of the guests coming to this gala affair., There will be gray hair where au­ burn treapes of the young bride were '50 years go, and two generations of children and .grandchildren, to join in .'the goldep jubilee celebration. (Continued f r o * P a t e 1 ) NEW CALENDAR IS EXPLAINED The unequal length o f our present months i* a source o f confusion and uncertainly in economic circle* in -the arrangement o f all statistic* and ac­ counts. Due to the variation in the month, which may contain 28,28, 30 or 81 days, all calculations o f salar­ ies, interest, insurance, pensions, rent and leases which are fixed on a month­ ly, quarterly, or one-half yearly bas­ is, are inaccurate, and do not corres­ pond with one-twelfth, one-fourth or one-half of the year. Variations in the length of the month cauge much difficulty. There may be as much as 2Q$J? difference In the number of working days in two consecutive mt rths. This alone is suf- iejent to condemn any calendar which wages. These variations cause mal- permits such irregularities in monthly adjustments fo r the business man in his expense reports, On the other hand, from a religi­ ous point of view, our calendar is far from perfect Church years are of varying length. The widely changing date o f Easter and church festivals makes life under the present calendar very inconvenient. The many advan­ tages of a fixed Easter are becoming more and more recognized.' Only recently the House o f Com­ mons in London debated a bill for fixing the date of Easter on the first Sunday after the second Saturday in April, or between April 9 and 16, Many Christian churches agree that it Would be desirable to fix the date of Easter.near the middle of April, According to the new proposed calen­ dar, Easter would always come on the 8th o f April) which is exactly its mid-date. Dr. Cotsworth, the originator of the new perpetual calendar, advocates the adoption of an international fixed calendar ■of 13 months of 28 days each, with the remaining day or days set apart as holidays and not given week-day names. One could be cal­ led “Year Day” and the other “ Leap .Day” , The one and sometimes two extra days would be considered as additional days and could be added either at the beginning or the midle of the year. • The extra month introduced by this change could be called Sol,’ Liberty or Mid-yeax, and should be the seventh month for the season that this position causes the least displacement pf fam­ iliar dates. All months would; be the same for­ ever, the first coming on Sunday and the last on Saturday. .The supersti­ tious would be encouraged to give up. some o f theii* worries, for upon exam ination -of th e. calendar they would find that every month contains a Fri day tha 18th. The raviaad calendar would fee bad new* to everyone who doesn’ t own his awn home, Rents would be col­ lected 13 time* each year! It would also be. unfortunate for those who** birthday comes on the 29th, 30th or Slat o f the month. But the children would never be asked to learn that little verse about “ Thirty days have September, April, June and November. All the rest have thirty-one "Except the second month alone, To which we twenty-eigl^ assign Till leap year gives it twenty-nine” Within the last year the Cotsworth Calendar has been presented to leg­ islative, business and labor leaders of more’ than a score of nations.
