Day on Which Women Rule.

Candlemas day is not celebrated in Holland much more than in England, but its place is taken by a festival unknown in this country. Slipper day in the Netherlands is the one day in the year in which the Dutch woman claims superiority over her husband. On that day she rules him to her heart’s content, and he generally obeya good humoredly enough. That is, unless she is one of those ladies not unknown in Holland or in any other country who aspire to complete rule over their unhappy partners throughout the year.—Phlladephla Inquirer,
