But Owned Costly Frocks and Silk Stock
ings by the Hundreds.
''What do you think of woman who
was the owner of eighty-nine dresses
of the very finest of silk, velvet and
other expensive dress goods, one hun
dred and six skirts of every conceiv-
able texture and fabric, one hundred
and fourteen pairs of silk hose, nine
teen rich and costly shawls, and under
garments of the finest linen by the
trunkful, and yet had never worn
single one of these dresses, skirts,
shawls, undergarments, or pairs of
hose,'' said well-known woman to
Boston Herald man. ''It seems incred-
ible, but these things were some of the
articles of wearing apparel that be-
longed to Miss Johanna Farnham, of
Milton, N. H., although no one ever
knew it but herself until she died. She
wore the cheapest clothing all her life,
and her common remark was that she
had nothing to wear.
miss Farnham was eighty years old
when she died Although she went
young girl and lived there until her
death, she always called Milton her
home. She was for years an employe
of Boston hotels and made no intimate
acquaintances. When she died it was
not known that she had even enough
to give her more than decent burial,
but in her old trunk in her room at the
hotel were found five thousand dollars
in gold securities, a bank book showing
that she had nearly two thousand dol
lars on deposit in savings bank, and
a key wrapped in a piece of paper. On
the paper was written: This key will
unlock a trunk in my Cousin AIMS
house in Milton The trunk was found
there and the key unlocked it. It was
packed full of such things as 1 have
mentioned and contained another key
wrapped in paper, with information
on the paper that this key would un-
lock another trunk at another place.
That trunk was found with a like re-
suit, with third key for third trunk
in still another place. This went on
until twenty large trunks belonging
to the eccentric dead woman had been
found. Besides the wearing apparel
spoken of, valuable ehinavare, jewel
ry and silverware, large quantities of
the very finest table and bed linen, the
best English table cutlery and many
pieces of bric-a-brac were found in the
trunks. This precious storage made a
load that it took two yoke of oxen to
haul out of Milton. Miss Farnham's
heirs agreed to sell the whole of these
valuables by auction in Boston, and
they netted more than ten thousand
dollars-nowhere near their actual
value"

Attention is called to the foregoing
fashion by the New York Times, which
tells that in the home of one of our
well known illustrators, over the mantel
in the large and airy dining room, the
inscription, "a Table Full of Welcome
Will Score One Dainty Dish" is picked
out in the wood in old English text with
admirable effect.

The motto idea is capable of consider
able application. Where wood carving
is not suitable or attainable, a panel or
banner can be accomplished of silk,
satin or linen, either in somber or gay
colors. On either of these three a motto
can be painted in liquid gold that will
prove most attractive when finished. A
quaint and graceful design of lettering
should be selected. In a breakfast room

on Appetite and Health on Both," or
