Girls Who Give Gold Models of Their
Little Fingers.
"Do little girls here give gold models
Of their little fingers TO their tiancesY'
asked the western girl OF the Gothamite,
reports the New York Sun.
"Heaven, mol" answered the Gotham
ite. 1T seems TO me that that is rather
grewsome souvenir"
Not at all" answered the western
girl. 1T is decidedly dainty, and Pm
little surprised that New York is so
far behind the times. The fad started
in this way; When the daughter OF one
of our big western politicians was six
months old he had a model of her little
finger cast in gold. Around the little
dimpled digit is a ring of turquoise,
which is her birthstone, and IL makes a
lovely charm for her betrothed's watch
chain. lie valued it so much that IL set
other men to thinking, and the result
is that as soon as n girl wraps one of
these chaps around her little finger suf-

both for the plaintiff and the defendant.
The parties are well advanced down the
toboggan of time, the defendant being
upward of so years old and the plaintiff
at least as aged.
There are some interesting things
about the case. Until about 1872 the
Hattons lived near Amboy, supposedly
happy, as all married people are TO be
considered until they reach the courts.
One day the plaintiff, after n quarrel
with his wife, which neither claim was
regarded more than trivial matter, left
his home and went west. He was heard
from at various times, but no contribu-
tions TO the support Of his wife and
child were received.
A short time ago Mrs. Hatton heard
that her husband had brought suit for
divorce, and that judgment was about
to be entered by default. The matter
looked irregular, MS Mrs. Hatton had
never, she says, received service OF the
papers or an intimation Of the litiga'

lar weekly meeting in the vestry-room of
ST. Pauls church yesterday morning.
There was a large attendance. and Rev.

Progress was reported on the prison-re-
form movement, in which the clergy are

nomced that he had sent a copy of the
petition to every clergyman in the do
cese. with a request that each one should
interest himself I'm the collection of as
many signatures as possible. The Brother
hood of st. Andrew is also actively en-
gagged in the work experimenting the ef-
forts Of the clergy, and the petition is
assuming colossal proportions.
A copy Of this petition has already APP
peared in the Dispatch. Its object is to
induce the Legislature TO enlarge the
penitentiary, so that not more than two
prisoners viii be confined in any one cell.
DIR. Mason said the petition had assumed
such proportions as to be almost man
damus.
The question of endorsing the movement
looking towards the establishment of a
COlOrcd refOrmatory was laid on the table
until the next meeting, when Rev. Mr..
Nash viii be present, and will give some
information or this subject.
The clericus adopted the resolution Of
5ered November 18th. that a special offer
ing shall DC taken up on the second sun
nay in December for st. Philips (colored)
church, on condition that the property
shall be placed under the control of the
Bishop OF the diocese. The debt of ST.
Philips H. S. &c., and the present value of
the church property, including the rec
tory. is about $4,000.
