Of $500 had been III d. 1t is now said that the
order OF discharge was q forgery and that no

the abduction charge.
The complainant on that charge Is John Del

that time lie considered Blanchard bis friend

Special 10 THE SUNDAY CALI

New YORK, Fell p, 1SS2.-There is a
spring travelling dress for a bride, some
pen and ink pictures of which have it in
mind TO put upon paper. but it mixes itself
up with the dressuaker's orange tree. The
dressmaker sat under the orange tree in the
back parlOr window as she smoOthed the
long folds of plaidcd cheviot. yellowish
brown upon creamy ecru. She held out
the skirt for NE to look at, straight and
plain; then she lifted the long jacket,
slashed in the back and open in front, with
a rolling collar edged with black ostrich
trimming over royal blue cloth vest coming
to the hips and fastened at the waist with
three big buttons She picked absentmnd-
edly at the sleeves with their blue cuffs and
deep chiffon frils, and twrled the little
yellOwsh brown straw hat about upon the
tip of her left fOrefnger to show me its
puffy Henry VIII crown of blue cloth and
its black ostrich aigrette.
Then she said she never did any dress
making for bride except under that orange
tree.
l don't know whether she sought thus to
console herself or the tree or to get for both
some small share of the bridal feeling, but
the ecru and blue and brown frock l have
tried TO tell you about was only one in such
train OF trOasSeau dresses that the artistic
effect Of tile story was quite spoiled by the
ragged fringe or bastlng threads hanging
about her head among the lower boughs.
There was, for example, a house dress of
brown serge for the same young woman
who WAS first to wear the travelling gown.
1t was princess frOck with narrow ruff
he of brown silk about the bottom Of the
skirt and cut off 10 form a peasant bodice,
laced behind. The bodice yoke had puffings
Of cream wool and there were cream-colored
puff sleeves, finished with lace ruffles.

New York World.
The proceeding before Judge Pryor of the
Court of Common Pleas were interrupted
few days ago by man and woman who
wished to speak to the Judge. The hest
tating and uncertain manner in which they
approached the bench attracted the atten-
ton of everybody in the courtroom. The
vast difference in the avOiIdupOs of the two
persons was also observed. and when a
deep-v0iced court officer tried TO whisper
that it was couple to be married everybody
heard him and a litter went round the room.
The man was a lawyer, 81 wears old, of
ordinary height and build. The woman
was 80 years old and weighed about 200
pounds. The man said that the woman
was the daughter of an old friend, and he
had promised ON his friends dying bed TO
look after her welfare. He knew Of no
better way of taking her into his charge
than by adopting her. Would the Judge
kindly issue an order permitting him TO
adopt the woman?
The Judge seemed transiXed in his seat,
and after recovering from his establishment
looked slowly FROM one TO the other.
Are you a married man?" asked the
Judge.
mo. sir"
Then you would have this court give
you, single man, the custody Of this
woman?"
Yes, sir"
Turning to the woman the Judge asked
her If she was willing TO be adopted by her
companion. She replied that she was.
We'll" said the Judge, this court will
not be a party to any such business"
The pair left the COURTROOM with more
color in their faces than they wore when
they went in.
