and well known lawyer She has three
handsome, manly sons, but only one
daughter, who made her debut into soci-
ety this season, and was much admired.
This girl is the idol of her parents, and
the ring worn by her mother is a testi-
mony to their affection, though very
eccentric one When the girl was 10
years of age the father presented to the
mother at Christmas ring in which
were set two little semi translucent white
stones surrounded by diamonds, and for
a long while resisted his wife's entreaties
to tell her what sort of stones they were,
she never having seen anything at all re-
sembling them. Finally he confessed to
her little shamefacedly that when their
small daughter had lost her pretty little
milk teeth he had saved the two front
ones and carried them about in his pock-
