Among the popular society leaders in
East Orange, N. j., Emma L. Stoll, o charm
ing young maiden, stands in tho foremost
rank. She is of q lovable disposition and
the light Of the social set in which she
moves. For two years she has been sick
girl from internal troubles peculiar to wom-
en-, and having recently recovered, has
given our reporter the folio wing interesting
account:
"Instead Of improving under the care of
my physician ! became worse. For five
weeks | was unable to get out of bed and
about six o'clock each morning suffered
horribly. My lips were sore and lacerated
from the marks Of my teeth, for in my ef-
forts to keep from screaming / sunk my
teeth deep into my lips. At such times
rolled and tossed until the bed shook like
an aspen leaf and it finally got so serious
that the doctor-I won't tell you his name
gave me some morphine pills to take. The
very thought OF them now makes me SILVER
These morphine pills simply put me to sleep
for awhile and when I became conscious
again my agony was renewed.
"The pain in my stomach and back was
moro than l could stand. Your blood is

Use of Mumers.

The muller, though it has its uses, is
more remarkable foritsabuses. Women
swath their threats at the beginning OF
September and keep them swathed UNI
til May in various sorts of sillxen things
and wonder why they are "predisposed''
to cold. The truth is that the constant
use of the muller makes the throat ten
der.
The muffier is intended not for or
dinarily cold days, but for occasions
when extra protection for the throat
and chest is absolutely necessary.
When one has substituted light
weight or low-necked evening bodice
for n heavy wooden one the muller be-
comes necessity. Pale-colored
liberty scarfs are favorites for
evening wear. Warmer hues and
heavier material are preferable for or
binary street wear.--St. Louis Republic.

ROMANCE mn REAL LIFE.
Remarkable Career of an Infant Left Il
n Foundling Hospital

Remarkable Career of an Infant Left In
n Founding Hospital
One night in 1901 a little girl about
one year old was deposited in the draw
err of the founding hospital at Brest.
She was dressed with much fnery, and
note attached to her skirts told that
her name was Solange, and that she
would be reclaimed by her father
When she was IL years old she was
sent out into the streets TO sell flowers,
and her beauty and her modesty at
tracted many peoples good will; hut
she grew weaker and weaker, and at
last died, or, Mt least, it was thought SO.
According TO French custom she was
buried in an open basket, and, as it was
winter and the soil was frozen, she was
laid into the grave covered only with
thin layer of sand. During the night
she awoke, and. pushing the sand
away, crept out from the grave.
Not exactly understanding what had
taken place, she was not so very much
frightened; but in crossing the glade
between the cemetery and the fortifi-
cations, she was suddenly stopped by
the cry: "Qui vive?" and, as she did
not answer, the sentinel fired, and she
fell to the ground.
Brought into the guard house, her
wound was found to be very slight, and
she soon recovered. But her singular
history, and also her great beauty had
made SO deep an impression on young
lieutenant Of the garrison-Kramer-
that he determined to be her protect
or, and sent her to one of the most fash
ionablc educational establishments in
Paris.
During the next few years Kramer
was much tossed about by the war;
but when, in 1918, he returned to Paris,
he found Solange full-grown woman,
not only beautiful, but accomplished
and spirited, with no more trace of in
tellectual weakness or nervous fits. He
married her, and for several years the
couple lived happily in Paris.
Meanwhile Investigations were made
concerning the girl left in 1901 i'll the
founding hospital at Brest, and, as
these Investigations were made by the
Swedish ambassador, and in some
what official manner, they attracted
some attention.
Capt. Kramer heard about the in
quiry and sent note to the ambassa-
dor, and month later the ambassador
came in state to bring Nine. Kramer

the Joke" when they followed Tom
closely enough to see him at once
leave the store with manner as full of
purpose as his movements commonly
were. What might he not do in his
undiplomatic way SO horribly prompt,
SO utterly unself-conscious, unccre-
monions, simple and undisguiscd?
Be II said here that :! was in associa-
ton with the same girl tina. Tom had
perpetrntcd one Of his singular veraci-
ties during his stay al resort ON
small lake the previous summer, and
the st5ry had TRANSFERRED in some way.
Tom had declined all invitations and
suggestions to join in the excursions,
picnics and such like gayeties of the
other guests of the hotel, and one
evening Miss Elme asked him why he
so secluded himself.
Because have no money" said Tom,
bluntly.
The young girl flushed painfully.
"Oh, don't be troubled" seid Tom,
kindly; you have done no harm with
your question. 1t does look little odd
that keep so away from everything.
But, you see, have just enough money
to pay my vacation of two weeks here
and get back to the city, with macgin
of precisely quarter of dollar. SO

~ think, Mr.. Martin-that is, per-

give me anything, or loan me anything,
or make deadhead of me. But Iwould
like to spend that quarter Of dollar
for a boat ride on the lake tbs minute,
Miss Elme, II you will go with me-"
Uncertain whether she were more
amused or more touched, the girl ac-
ceptcd the invitation, and had occasion
to remember that little excursion hap
PLY, for Tom could talk we'll, and she
had quick imagination, and the moon
lighted stiffness was good habita-
