Miss Stella NJ. Seymour left the city
yesterday after a fortnight's stay
among former friends. She will carry
away many pleasant recollections of
her brief visit to her old home during
which time she was much feted and en-
tertained, Among the ladies who gave
luncheons or 5 o'clock teas to her honor
were Mrs. w. T. Smith, Mrs. II. C.
Shafer, Mrs. c. B. Smith, Miss Platt,
Mrs. A. NJ. Decker, Mrs b. f. Watson,
Mrs. Whtmore and Miss Mates.
Miss Seymour had expected to spend
the winter in South Africa, but owing
to the illness of Mrs. Louis Seymour
and the necessity for her removal to
the South of France, Miss Seymour
Will not go to johannesburg until
spring. The past twelve years life of
her brother, Mr.. Seymour, reads like a
fairy tale. Starting forth with an alb
sorbing ambition for a naval career,
circumstances turned the course of his
studies and he finally learned much
about machinery and draughtmanship
in the Dickson works of this city.
Successful in a competition with
drawing of an engine for an English
syndicate operating in South America,
and taking valuable prize, his for
tune was begun. for from that time
he has risen with inconceivable rapid
ity until it is now said by competent
London authorities that he has no peer
as q civil engineer in the world. He
was sent to the diamond fields of Kim
| berly, and now at the age of 35 is at
the head of the management of the
great English syndicate gold fields at
johannesburg, and is in receipt of a
fabulous income. 1t is to her brothers
magnificent home in this South African
city that Miss Seymour will go in the
spring to remain indefinitely.
1t is probable that in the near future
Woman's club similar to those in
most large towns and cities will be
formed in Scranton. The aim will be
in the line of health-protective work.
