The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-12-03

came TO be understood that Mr. and Mrs
Walsh, because OF a combination of
trivial controversies and a mutual desire
to avoid further disputes, had agreed to
permanently disagree by separating
forever. 1t was q very solemn step,
and it was not taken hastily.
They considered it several weeks while
living together beneath the same roof
and in the house both had called home
for so many years. Finally, however,
Mrs. Walsh took the decisive action, and
her suit being uncontested, the courts
soon did the rest. She was granted an
unconditional decree of divorce, and Mr.
Walsh generously settled upon her
gOodly share of his estate. Mrs. Walsh
removed to 1,4ll Summit street, while
her divorced husband took up his resi-
dence at the Park hotel.
1t was not long until both began to long
for the old home, with its cherished memo
ries and its many comforts, but pride
stepped in when harsh feeling left, and
they remained apart. Mrs. Walsh was
perhaps not the greater sufferer of the
two, but she was the first to succumb to
the pains of separation. Putting back
pride, chagrin, everything but the old
devotion for her husband, she made the
first overture. Mr.. Walsh was more slow
to forget what he regarded as the great
injury he had suffered. He hesitated,
and for time it seemed the divorce suit
would outlive the re-kindled fires of affec-
ton. One day last week Mrs. Walsh car
ried to her former husbands Office deeds
for all the property he had conveyed to
her when the separation occurred. With
these deeds she took to him others for all
the property she had possessed before
their marriage, which was of consid-
cradle value. She gave them to him, and
then, standing there practically penniless
and alone in the world, asked him to take
her back to his heart and home
Il have made over all my property to
you, as you will observe by these deeds, ;"
said Mrs. Walsh, land now | want 10
again be your loving wife, as of old. If
you will not consent to a reunion, then /
want to die, and ] shall take my own life,
leaving what | had and what you gave
me to you"
Mr.. Walsh thrust back the deeds to the
property, and in their stead took to his
arms the woman whose undying devotion
had replaced her upon that pedestal in
mans heart which can be occupied only
by his wife. A marriage license was Sc
cured for the second time, and a cere-
mony duly performed. The affair has
been kept quiet, and this is the first an
nouncement of the happy finale in the
troubles of John and Josephine Walsh.
Says an exchange: GA woman should
go away occasionally and give her chill
dren and their father a chance to get real
well acquainted. For some reason, a
father is always better to his children
when they are left alone with him. II is
good for man to have his children come
to him with their troubles, which they
seldom do if their mother is at home, and,
in addition, it gives her rest"
absolutely the most satisfactory com
pliment which every drifted my way"
said a woman to the New York Times
last week, Il received to-day.
II was hurrying through one of the
blocks between Fifth and Sixth avenues,
just below Twenty-third street, when
saw approaching me woman whom
thought knew. l took her to be an out
of-town friend, and my pleasure to meet
her was greater from its rarity. hur-
ried forward, not waiting TO fairly reach
her before beginning my delighted greet
ing. The words froze on my lips, how
ever, as we actually met, for l saw that
though the likeness was extraordinary,
even at close quarters, she was not the
person for whom had taken her.
'Oh!' ! said, with a smile of apology,
I beg your pardon. l thought you were
q friend of mine She smiled, too, and
tion which subtly pointed the remark,
said, with a graceful bow and charming
air of breeding, 4 wish were, Madam,
and passed on.
"The whole took breath to do, though
it has taken several to tell, and she was
almost out of hearing before | could rally
and call Thank yOu,' after her. l shall
never see her again, of course, but I shall
always remember her quick tact and de-
lightful courtesy"
1.-THE spotted veil habit will have to
have it's asylums, or gold cures, or some
thing" said a New York oculist lately.
Its victims increase constantly, and they
seem to be as devoid of will power to re-
Sist the mania as is the devOtee of any
evil practice. Intelligent women come to
me to be treated for eye troubles that in
some cases are wholly produced by the
use of the dotted veil, and IN others seri-
ously aggravated. The harm is more per
ceptible now than formerly, for women
wear wells almost necessarily. At
at church, everywhere almost, you
will see the covering film of
lace. I've questioned my wife,
who is as bad as any Of you, and she says
it is positively necessary-that ones hair
flies and various disagreeable things hap
pen if the vail is left off, so ! suppose it
will have to be worn, eyes or no eyes. At
least, however, wear one without dots, or
with them so far apart that one need not
come within eye range
To which caution another may be
added-tO lift the veil, whatever its tex
ture when reading in transit. 1t is a
common sight to see women in the ele.
waited cars and suburban trains absorb
themselves in book or paper for forty
minute trip without raising their wells.
The motion of the vehicle and the shift
ing uncertain light are, in themselves, a
serious tax upon the sight, to which it is
unnecessary to add the further burden OF
even plain veil.
Far in the interior Of the country, says
the New York Tribune, on one of the
great lakes, there is a beautiful house
built on a bluff over 100 feet high. 1t Is
reared on tremendous terraces, there are
big stone walls, and there are ramparts
1t is q castle in the northwest. And it is
lived in by a man and his wife, who were
resolved when they built it, that it should
be as perfect as the best artists could
make it. So they proceeded to Europe
and in London they consulted with one
William Morris, who provided them deco
rations adj libitum-wall-pape furni
ture and stained glass and the like. They
wanted too some tapestries. Mr.. Nor
ris's answer to their request was charac-
teristic and extremely interesting as
showing how the leading English decora-
tor of the day carries on his work. u
