COPY of the 1917 Social Register, published by the 
Social Register association of 29 Broadway, New 
York, has come to the Editor’s desk. This issue indicates 
that during the past year 219 persons have married as 
compared with 213 last year, and there are noted the 
deaths of 44 women and 49 men as compared with that 
of 60 women and 67 men last year, a decrease in the 
mortality of both sexes. As usual the members of the 
prominent families of Boston, whether residing in the 
city, in the country or abroad, are grouped under the one 
address, with the maiden and Christian names of the 
married women, the names of the daughters and sons in 
the order of their age, and the younger children, from 
12 to 20, appearing under the title ot “Juniors.” The 
key to the married names of women is still provided 
through the instrumentality of the “Married Maidens” 
and under this head of “Married Maidens” also appear 
the names of Boston women who have married into fam- 
ilies of other cities and the column indicates their present 
name and the Social Register of the city where they may 
now be found. 
We are compelled to rub for a few years through a 
world in which things are very much mixed up and we 
should make the best of it, and above all be good natured.

ARY PICKFORD’S new picture was staged in Mar- 
blehead harbor last Sunday afternoon in a manner 
so realistic that the “Queen of the Movies” might have 
lost her life. 
Miss Pickford enacts the role of a fisherman’s daugh- 
ter in a part of Marblehead Neck labeled Scotland for 
the present. Angry because her father refuses his con- 
sent to her marrying, she leaves him and goes to an old 
vessel in search of her lover. 
The old fishing schooner “Eddie Miner” was accord- 
ingly sailing out of the harbor with Miss Pickford at the 
helm, the camera man hidden in the bow, and Director 
Charles Tourmeur and his assistants in the cabin. Far 
in the lead, at the end of a long towline, were two tugs. 
All went well until the fair skipper and her craft 
were about a quarter mile off shore. Then it was found 
tuat the old tub had sprune a leak—and this is no press 
agent’s yarn. The people in the cabin rushed on deck, 
Miss Pickford’s maid ran below to gather up her mis- 
tress’s belongings, and the camera man shinned the mast 
to get one more picture before he perished. The heroine 
stuck to her post, and when Mr. Tourmeur reached her 
e “Kddie Miner’s” deck was awash and Miss Pickford 
was in water up to her waist. 
A group of spectators on shore looked on admiringly, 
thinking it was all in the play, Their unconcern was

dispelled only when the fourteen persons abroad the 
schooner were seen getting into the boat. The author of 
tne scenario, who was among the onlookers, knew there 
was nothing of this sort called for, and raised a cry of 
alarm. Motor boats put off, and all hands were brought 
to shore. All were drenched, but none of them appeared 
to be otherwise affected. Miss Pickford confessed that 
she was frightened. 
Brevities 
To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying 
Amen to what the world tells you you ought to preter, 1s 
to have kept your soul alive-—obert Lous Stevenson. 
My friend, don’t forget this, if you lie down, the 
world will go out of its way to drive over you; but, if you 
stand up and look severe, it will give you nalf the road at 
_least—Uncle Ezek. 
“Whoever looks for a friend without imperfections 
will never find what he seeks. We love ourselves with all 
our faults, and we ought to love our friends in like 
manner.” 
A sarcasm is like a boomerang; when it leaves your 
tongue you never -know where it may alight. 
“A yacht can stand on a tack in silence, but a man 
isn’t constructed like a yacht.” 
There is no sort of wrong deed of which a man can 
bear the punishment alone; you can’t isolate yourself and 
say that the evil which is in you shall not spread. Men’s 
lives are as thoroughly blended with each other as the air 
they breathe; evil spreads as necessarily as disease.— 
George Eliot. 
The moment we feel angry in controversy we have 
already ceased striving for truth, and begun striving for 
ourselves.—Carlyle. 
“The man who rides in the day coach gets there as 
soon as the man who rides in the parlor-car.’ 
“Tt is just as well to put off till tomorrow the regrets 
we have for yesterday.” 
You will confer the greatest benefits on your city, not 
by raising its roofs, but by exalting its souls. For it is 
better that great souls should live in small habitations than 
that abject ‘slaves should burrow in great houses— 
Epictetus.
