Now, l want 20 preface my voicing of
| the rumor by declaring that know
both engagements will be emphatically,
even violently, denied, but that is only
the proper caper now.
l hear that Mrs. Paran Stevens is To
marry Mr. Albert Morris Bagby.
Now, nobody needs enlightenment as
to Mrs. Paran Stevens, but there may
be few forlorn folks whose social en-
cyclopedia contains no reference to AL
bert Morris Bagby.
Nevertheless he is charming chap,
of whom the women always speak as
'that dear little Bagby."
He is a western born man of really
oriental tact and finesse.
He gives music lessons, having been
che favorite pupil par excellence of
List. and incidentally he gives the
SWEETEST musieales of the season at the
Waldorf-at So ticket
He has charming manners and has
just completed novel ON the romantic
life at Weimar of his great teacher, the
Able Liszt.
He has attained really enviable po-
sition in the genuine haut monde solely
by his gentle breeding and his immense
diplomacy, and nobody but his rivals
will wish him aught but lots of plums
in his wedding cake.
The other engagement that will sooD
be announced is that of Miss Olive
Chamberlin and young Harper, son of
a member Of the great publishing house.
The very name of Harper is synony-
nous with Methodism and millions,
and Miss Chamberlin is the daughter
of that popular all round sport and
natures nobleman," John Chamber
lin.
She is a superb young woman still in
her teens, of the Junoesque type of beau
ty and inheriting the magnetic charm
of her mother, who was the brilliant,
beautiful Emily Thorne, sister of the
late Charles R. Thorne, Jr.
The stamp of approval of Miss Cham
berlin's beauty and chic bears the Hall
mark of such oonnoisseurs as George
Work, George de Forest Grant and
Francis Sykes, and she is as brilliant as
she is beautiful

plates going on the comic opera stage,
Or that she is even considering the offer

To be sure, she is taking singing les

The old. Old Man.

A mile or so from the Westbury Half
Way House there is little cluster of red
buildings to the north Of the highroad.
Here, nestled between modern shoot
ing box and an ancient farmstead, is a
small chapel, and within the chapel a
memorial plate to Parr: ''The old, old,
very old man, born in the year Of our
Lord 1883. He lived in the reign Of ten
kings and queens of England, died the
18th and was buryed in Westminster
abbey on the 18th of November, 1886. )"
The inscription on brass, in a neat
oak frame, of course proves nothing,
though it may we'll date from the mid
die of the seventeenth century. Its most
attractive feature is the neatly engrav-
ed head of Parr, which is little at vari-
ance with that given in Taylor's pam
phlet 1t is hard to think this serene
faced person, in the conioal skullcap,
the trim white collar and many but
toned coat, was a farm laborer all his
life. His peaked beard is of the kind
Vandyke loved to paint, and his mus
taohe runs down into it. The nose is
long and straight and his eyebrows are
handsomely arched.
Whether this portrait be true or an
ideal one, it is famously suggestive Of a
man who "hath not been troubled in
mind for either the building or throwing
down of abbeys and religious houses, !"
who did never "murmur at the manner
of prayers, let them be Latin or Eng
lish," and who "held it safest to be of
the religion of the king and queen that
were (sic) in being" 1t is to be hoped
indeed he was such man, else he
could not have lived through more
tiresome century and ilalf of English
life. Macmillan Magazine.

That brings sharp prophetic pain, or makes

The London aSouth End Mystery to Close
With the Hanging of Read.


It is many months since London and
all England have been aroused to such
unanimous interest in a criminal trial
as that manifested in the solution Of
what has been known since June last as
the south end mystery A young mar
ried man in comfortable circumstances
named Read has been tried for the MUIR
der of Florence Dennis, young wom-
an with whom he had improper rela-
tions. Her body was found in lone
some spot, and there was no direct evil
dence to connect Read with the crime
1t was principally his reckless, unsup-
ported denials and the extraordinary
story of his depravity IN many direc-
tions that finally resulted IN his convic-
ton and sentence to death.
1t was proved that he was in the
neighborhood of the murder when he
asserted he was 80 miles away. 1t was
also shown that he had similar relations
with several other women, and that the
murdered girl was about to become the
mother of his child. Nevertheless the
evidence was not sufficient to convict in
an American court, and the prisoner
reafhrmed his innocence in strong Ian
guage before the death sentence was pro-
nouneed upon him, He viii be hanged,
