Referring to "Air Sunday" in a sermon, the vicar of Hound, the Rev. W. E. Henty Summers, whose parish adjoins the flying ground, said that he interpreted the pageant as a challenge to those who still held Christian belief in Sunday observance, "This great challenge has been thrown down and we must take it up," he declared. "Already the road traffle at the week-end dur- ing summer months has reached such proportions and involves so many accidents, that Sunday is becoming a day of death and danger, a day of dust and din, It almost looks as if those who want peace and quiet on a Sunday will have to burrow underground for it and spend their day in a dugout, as the Christians at Rome met for their services at the Catacombs."

SEARCH FOR MIZPAH.

GIGANTIC WALL FOUND IN PALESTINE.

Neither Jerusalem nor Megiddo ever had such a formidable city wall as that just unearthed at Tel-el-Nisbeth, seven miles north ex- of Jerusalem, by the Mizpah pedition of the Pacific School of Religion, under the direction, of Professor William Bade, the Ameri- can Old Testament and archeologi- cal authority.

The Professor has succeeded in clearing a section of the enclosing wall, which is still standing to a height of 25ft. from the founda- tions. The thickness of the wall When you feel out of temper with ranges from 16ft. to 20 ft.

The gigantic character of the wall raises a new question of iden- tification. If the site is really that of Mizpah, it had a long pre-Israel-i Ite history, the deposits of pottery; showing that it was inhabited at least as early as B.C. 3,000.

Professor Alt, of Leipzig, sug gests that Nisbeth is the real site of the Treasure City of Solomon.

BRIGHTER WEDDINGS.

BRIDEGROOMS GETTING MORE DRESSY.

London weddings are becoming more picturesque with the introduc- tion of lighter-coloured waistcoats and trousers than have been the rule in the past, writes Fonthill Beckford in the "Daily Mail."

in

To-day Glenurquhart checks black and white, black and grey, or steel grey-herringbone angolas, are being worn by the younger set of men, who are also introducing a necktie of white silk or surah which may be knotted either Derby or York fashion. This latter shape fa undoubtedly the smartest of all, and was much favoured by the pre- sent King when Duke of York, hence its name.

It is knotted in a similar manner to the Ascot, that is, two ends tied in a granny knot with the right hand side used as stuffing, the left turned over, apron fashion, and the tie held in position. by a jewelled pin.

White kid gloves are also favour. ites this season, for chamois and auede have the disadventure throwing off a dust.

White linen spats do not go well with the very light trousers, there fore the black patent leather button boot, having cream cloth uppers, or patent leather shoe, is most in evid-|

ence.

Add to all this a white button- hole, and sometimes a white, grey, or belge double-breated waistcoat, and it will be seen that bride- grooms are surely dressing up. The black lounge jacket and waistcoat is not in keeping with a bride who wears the proverbial white.
