HAIR GREW AFTER DEATH.
Heavy Bralds Ten Feet Long Found
in n Coffin Twenty Years Buried.

A prominent citizen of Warren Sum-
NIT, n. H., recently caused the body
Of his mother TO be disinterred for the
purpose Of burying it in another spot,
when it was found that the
coffin was completely enwrapped
with the strands Of the lady's
hair, even the grave being filed
with the silky masses, which had
to be cut through before the coffin
could be removed. Upon opening the
coffin the remains, with the exception
of the head, were found to have per-
ished, but the skull was wonderfully
preserved, and even the skin intact,
and from this had grown quantity of
hair such as no living person could
carry. The lady has been dead nearly
twenty years, and at the time of her
decease her magnificent suit of hair
had been clipped short, so there is no
doubt of all that was found in the
coffin having grown after death
Her son says, however, that his
mothers hair was Of beautiful bright
golden hue, whereas the the post
norton growth is of pale, colorless
tinge, dingy and coarse, though re-
tanning sort of vitality. 1t had
forced it's way through the seams OF
the coffin and twined about it like the
! tendrils of a vine. and was so thick as
to hide it completely, while it filled
the coffin as entirely. 1t was calcu
lated that there was nearly seventy
five pounds of it in all and that the
! strands were fully ten feet in length
The lady on whose head this grew dice
at the age of 81 and after an illness o
only a few hours, consequently retain
ING her robust and full-habited figure
Which may possibly account Tor the ex
traordinary growth When it was re
moved from about the coffin the latte
fell apart. showing that it had hell
together by the hair.

The singular within OF n Well'to'Do
Vermont Woman.

A singular character residing near
Jrasburgh. Vt, is said to have allo we'd
no human being to look upon her dur
ing the day for nearly forty years She
goes by the name of Ann Dennis, and
is said to have been the daughter OF
well-to-do farmer, and that she lost her
mind. or at any rate, took up her pres
emit singular mode Of life after the
death of her mother, whom she &C
cidentally killed by an overdose OF
some opiate. She lives in small.
substantial one-room cabin about SIX
miles from town, and remains tightly
shut up during the day, and ventures
out only on the darkest nights, when
she will walk into town and transact
such business as she may have, but can
not be induced to enter room llghted
up save dimly, and then only when
thickly yelled.
As she has some little money left her
by her father, the tradesmen all humor
this singularity of hers, though several
attempts have been made to get her IN
show herself in the light, but however
well planned the strategy it has never
succeeded. She converses intelhgentiy
enough when she wants to and many
DENY that her mind is at all afected
beyond little harmless eocsntrlclty.
Those who remember her in her youth
ssy that she was an unusually pretty
attractiv girl and we'll educated. She
lives quite alone with nothing living t.
keep her company.

can employ theiz time in dressing at

Satin is the material par excellence
for bathing dresses and the aquatic

her bathing slips, what there is of
them, made of amber satin. with daz-
cling effect. A stunning bathing gown
of French origin Is made up in satin,
colored in strips. 1t is striking enough
to hurt a prize fighter, but the woman
must be handsome, indeed. who can
carry off it's gaudiness. One OF the
many smart toilets worn by
lady artist at a fashionable summer
resort is made of Spanish yellow
broche crepe, trimmed with black lace
flounces and draperies. The sleeves
like the gown. were very becoming to
the wearer. The lady is blessed with
suparabundance of flesh. and the
sleeves were made of rich silk net
work. with lines of gold thread run

OF course you can play tennis in any
kind of gown with loose bodice and
| undraped skirt, but you can play more
picturesquely and agreeably before a
grateful world ii your gown is in an
artistic shade of water-green cloth, the
skirt bordered with dainty tracery
| of silk threads with gold, and has a
bodice and braces of gold overa shirt OF
heliotrope foulard tlecked with green.
1t is entirely good form for you to poet
ize the onceadmired severity OF your
tennis gown. Many of the best models,
while made in severe ''housemaid''
fashion, are supplemented with
corselets of manyhued splendid
Indian embroidery, edged with
gold over silken skirts, Tennis
players say that the best players are
not the best dresscrs. And this is un
doubtedly only too true. But most
girls do not care much about playing
we'll. They'd much rather look wei
and this most of them contrive to do
1t is sad to lose many games but 1T il
simply narrowing to lose them in al
unlovely gown. Tennis dresses lik'
the one described are consolation t.
poor players and a pleasure to goot
ones.

1t is nearly a year since, one gray
summer morning. Mary Anderson was
married in the Catholic church at
liamptead, to Antonio de Navarro.
Since then a thousand rUmors con.
corning Our Mary" have been ahoat
IN the air. 1t was incredible, un-
natural, people said, that any artist
with record such as that of Mary
Anderson should deliberately prefer u
quiet domestic life to such fame and
fortune as she might command at
any moment such, however,
seemed indeed the case. Mr.. and Mrs.
de Navarro were occasionally seen at
Tunbridge Wells, at Bournemouth and
other honeymoon haunts, but, strange
to say, they We're perverse enough to
prefer each others society on all occa-
sions to that of the wood be admirers
and friends. 1t was notifying, and of
course there must be some mysterious
reason for this strange shrinking
from prying eyes. That IA bride might
naturally find it more to her taste to be

band would rather have the society OF
