A Divorced Pair Meet.

New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch.
Walter l.. Sim. son of Colonel Sim, the
well-known theatrical manager, was buried
from Plymouth Church yesterday. At the
conclusion of the services the lid was re-
moved from the casket and the large audi
ence filed past the remains, taking a last
look at the face which had been so familiar
to them for many years. Then a pretty,
pathetic incident occurred. Colonel Sim
took the arm of his wife, from whom he
has been divorced for a number of years
and leaned over the casket. She look ed
at the face of her dead son and then up to
that of her husband. There seemed 10 be
an understanding in the look. He placed
his arm in hers and led her down the aisle
following the casket. There was scarcely
dry eye in the large church. Every one
noticed the incident, and with a common
impulse it occurred to all alike that ii
meant reconciliation, an act that would
be hailed with joy by the many friends of
both.
