Her First Husband stinbaimed and Still in
the Eouse.
Cordele, Ga, December 30.-(Special THE
marriage of Mr.. Joseph e. Bivins and Mrs.
George w. Marvin, in this city Wednesday
night, was not a complete surprise, as the
event had been looked forward to for some
time by knowing ones About eighteen
months ago Mrs. Marvin became
the heroine OF story that
was telegraphed over the coun-
try and brought her name into considera-
bic notoriety. Her husband. DR. George
w. Marvin, was mayor Of Cordele and
president of the First National bank. He
owned considerable real estate here and
in Atlanta, and was reported to be worth
$1500U0 at least.
The devoeon of the couple to each other
was well known, and when he died no one
was surprised that Mrs Marvin was pros
trated with grief. The hearse which bore
Dr. MarVin's body to the grave was fol-
lowed by long line of vehicles filed with
people who had known and admired him in
lie. Ihe business houses We're closed and
the city SorroWed genuinely over the death
OF Its mayor. For some time Mrs. Marvin
refused to be COnSOled and she was almost
mad with grief Her devotion to the doc
tor suggested the idea of having his body
permanently embalmed and mag
nihcent marble tomb erected to his
memory. An embalmer came from
New Orleans, and the body was taken from
the ground at night and borne back to Mrs.
MarVin's home. There it was passed through
a process that is said to be sufficient to
preserve it for an unlimited length of time
Since that time the body has remained
securely locked III a room in the same house

week, is cashier of the First National bank,

lie has been practically the manager of
MIS- MarVins large estate He has been
her adviser in many important transactions
ana, naturally, their relations became close
and confidential For some time Mr.. Biv-
ms mad paid her marked attention and a
mutual attachment grew up between the
TWO. The ceremony was performed in the
parlor OF the Marvin cottage and was wit
messed by only a few friends. The couple
lett Wednesday night for various points in
Florida and south Georgia to enjoy the
honeymoon. The question which people are
now asking each other is, will the newly
married couple live in the house where the
body of Mrs Marvin's first husband rests
or will it be placed in a vault?

go on the table, but the floral rope is somes

In France and Germany girls are always
lowered. In Germany the thing is largely
done by matrimonial associations. During
a girls childhood her parents pay a small
sum monthly to the association; when the
girl is able to earn money she keeps up
the payments; and when she marries she
is entitled to draw from the association a
stipulated sum by way of dOwry. The sum
is small, but Germany is a poor country,
and girl who has a hundred pounds of
her own is eligible among bachelors in her
walk of life. In France the dot is still
more universal. a man who marres a girl
without a dot is held to be doing something
exceptionally noble. In fact, examples Of
such sacrifices of interest to love rarely oc-
cur. From the highest TO the lowest class
of society it is held to be the duty Of parents
to provide their daughters with dot.
Among the rich estates are set apart or
mortgaged for the purpose long before the
girl is maria gcable. Among the shopke,Der
class the father and mother begin to save
n dot for a daughter from the time of her
birth.

A Washington dispatch says: The most
recent and most senseless fad in the ultra
fashionables is the adoption of anklets,
which are made in gold or silver, according
to the worldly condition of the women who
have elected to wear them. These anklets
are either of the plain metal are jeweled
and inscribed with an appropriate motto in
side. Where amateur skirt dancing is at
tempted there is an excellent opportunity to
display the costly geWgaWS. Otherwise they
are simply worn about the ankles to en-
nance the effect or draw attention to an es-
pecialy pretty pair of slippers and fancy
stockings. The fad, which t. an unc0m-
Portable enc at best, is said to owe it's ORR
gin to the Midway Piaisance, where the
women of various foreign nationalitieS wore
anhlets with picturesque effect.

Those women who have old lace. or, in
deed, lace of any kind, black or white,
have an unusually good opportunity for dis
playing it to the best advantage, for it is
introduced in every imaginable fashion. The
lace hounCeS which used to be worn are
now placed at the edge of the skirts, often
festooned with ribbon bows. They are also
introduced around the hips, while triple
founces are made to cover the entire skirt.
Almost any shaped piece of lace appears to
be adapted to the shoulders and to the
capes, which are of every form, but mostly
surround the yokes or taper from the waist
over the shoulders. 1t is certainly newer to
have u detached cape covering the sleeves
only, and then it should reach to the ell
bow.
