MARRIAGE MARKET.

Lady's Search for a Husband,

Before his Honour Judge Bacon on Fobi 15 at the Bloomsbury County Court, was case remitted from the High Court, in which Critchell Charlesworth, trading as H. Charlesworth, and described as proprie tor of the "Matrimonial Post and Marriage Advertier," sued Mrs Rachel Caroline Eriggs for £50, services rendered, the defendant counter-claiming for the return of £15 158, and 10s, Od., money paid for a consideration which had wholly failed. Mr Compton Emith, barrister, oj ppared for the plaintiff, and Mr Lewis Thomas was for the defendant, ndjes Mr Smith said that in May, 1904, the defendant got into communication with the plaintiff, who had been the mean pf of conferring connubial blessings on 12,000 couples" (laughter.)

Mr Thomas-You need not advertise your client he is a marriage broker (laughter).

Mr Smith, continuing, said that at the

time the lady was in France, and she was supplied at her request with a copy of the paper, and the rules, rule 7 being that All the introductions are given on the understanding that the ladies and gentle- men shall each pay a commission to the editor." On May 4 the defendant wrote a letter to the plaintiff, in which she said:-

**I am fifty years old, but I feel much younger, and no man would take me for more than 38,

Mr Thomas.—“In the dusk, with the light behind her" (laughter),

Judge Bacon.-Pray, Mr Thomas do not joke on such a serious matter (renewed laughter).

Mr. Smith said that the letter went on to say that the defendant would, if she gave her affection, give it everlastingly,

Judge Bacon. She was not a widow, was 1376 ahe? How did she know it would be everlast

ing (laughter.):

Continuing, Mr. Smith said that the

THE WARWICH PAGEANT,

A Upique Historical Spectacle,

vory interesting revival of an ancient form of drams is now taking place in Eng land. Last year a remote Dorset village started the ball; this year the famous town of Warwick has picked it up with white-hot enthusiasm and is going to show its neigh bours and the world in general what this kind of spctacle can do to revive the

The Warwick Pagent (July 2nd to 7th inclusive) will represent in dramatle form narly 1,700 years of the town's history, This is set forth in verse and text of a most direct kind. and is embellished with choruses, songs, dances, marches, and every legitimate spectacular adjunct. The be autiful lawn in front of Warwick Castle Conservatory will be the arons, and Shak- speare's Avon. will be utilised for Queen Elizabeth's State barge in one of the most splendid épisodes of the Pageant: For monthe past the ladies of Warwick have been engaged in preparing historical costumes, etc., designed from contemporary records, of the and when July arrives the citizens of town, their wives, their children, and their friends will join in a simple and reverent representation of the eleven great episodes which have been chosen for production. It is expected that nearly 2,000 performers will take part in the Pageant, which will thus form a lofty and dignified panorama of the town's history. Moreover, the Pageant will be an incident in a great act of praise and thanksgiving. The festival will com mence with a thanksgiving service in the Parish Church (which includes the famous THE GOOD WILL and STOCK-IN- Beauchamp Chapel) at which the Bishop of TRAD of TAI WO, Photo: Bristol will preach; and on the following graphers, of No. 36, Queen's Road Central Sunday, when the Pageant is over, the (Corner of D'Aguilar Street and No. 38, Bishop of Worcester will be the preacher. Queen's Road Central).

The Pageant is under the direction of Hr Louis N. Parker, who is known in America as the author of several successful plays, and who is the originator of this anique expression of local patriotiam. He has written the "text" for eleven episodes of world-wide interest in the history of Warwick Castle and town ; and Mr James Rhoades has composed many beautiful narrative choruses, which will be sung by 60 Druids. The first episode takes us back to the Reman invasion of Britain and the heroia resistance offered by Caractacus (Caradoc) to the conquerors, and the story of the first introduction of Christianity to the island at this period will be told in simple but very im. pressive fashion, How The Bear and Ragged Staff" came to be the badge of the Barls of Warwlok will be 'shown in the Becond episode; Guy of Warwick and the talo of how he slew the Dun. Cow for his lady's sake and afterwards died in her arms are to be dealt with in very quaint style; and another one will illustrate Queen: Ethelfleds (Alfred the Great's daughter) founding Warwick Castle just a thousand years ago. Bishops, priests, and knights templar galore appear In the next episode (temp 1123 A.D.), in which Roger de Newburgh returns from the Holy Land and raises the Parish Church of Warwick to collegiate rank...

Elizabeth will arrive in her Stage Coach, with out-riders in crimson, and be received with great ceremony by her favourite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leycester. Nearly 1000 performers will be on the arena at this point, and the epis de will reach its climax when the figure of Shakespeare himself, in a quite unique situation, is introduced. The last episode, in which William III. restores Warwick after the great fire of 1691, will prepara the way for a magnificent final tableau, in which

The idea of the Pageant must appeal to all who love ancient ceremonials for their splendour as well as for the suggestiveness of their meaning. It is to be hoped that many other cities of England will be inspired to imitate the example, and that the shire pageants will become as much a part of the national life as the country fairs. The germ of the idea may be expressed in Mr Parker's own words: “If. every olty had its own pageant, a spirit of better eitizenship and a larger interest in a great past would grow up."
