FINDING A PEDIGREE.
An Amusing Story That May Have Par.
allel In Real Life.

There is an amusing story in the current
number of The Century satirizing tho tend.
ency Of some women In New York society
to search for pedigree for their families.
The heroine Of the tale Is the daughter OF
a worthy Irishman who has come over to
this country and made fortune, and who
bears the name of John Diver. In seek
ing for a coat Of arms she goes to the Astor
library and consults book of heraldry,
from which she reaches the conclusion that
Diver is really corruption Of De We're
and finds one of the remote bearers of it to
have been named Elene. The next time
she signs her name, Ellen Diver is trans
formed into Elene dc Vere The incident,
comical as it may seem, has had its paral.
lei in real life, as probably more than ono
person can testify.-Boston Herald.
