The Secret Of Death. BY Edwin Ar

The Secret OF Death. By Edwin Ar
mold.
"she is deadr' they said to him. Come
awayr
Kiss her and leave her; thy love is clay.
They smoothed her tresses of dark brown
hair
On her forehead of stone they laid it fair;
over her eyes, that gazed 100 much,
They drew the lids with a gentle touch:
With tender touch they closed up well
The sweet thin lips that had secrets to
tell;
They tied her veil and her marriage-lace,
And drew on her white feet her white silk
shoes
Which were the whitest no eye could
choose;
And over her bosom they crossed her
hands.
Come awayr they said. God under
stands"
And there was silence and nothing there
But silence, and scents of eglantere
And jasmine and rose, and rosemary;
And they said: "As a lady should lie,
lies she"
And they held their breath as they left
the room,
With shudder, to glance at It's stiffness
and gloom.
But he who loved her too well to dread
The sweet, the stately, the beautiful dead,
He lit his lamp and took the key
And turned it-alone again, he and She
He and she; but she would not speak
Though he kissed, in the old place, the
quiet cheek.
He and she; but she would not smile.
Though he called her the name she loved
erewhile.
He and she; still she did not move
To any one passionate whisper of love
Then he said: cold lips and breast with
out breath,
Is there no voice. no language OF death
Dumb 90 the ear and still TO the sense.
But 10 heart and TO soul distinct, intense2

merits. Women who have never been on a
wheel and don't know a golf ball from a
punching bag are addicted to the short
skirt so soon as they get far enough from
Twenty third street and Fifth avenue to
put one on. No small boy of good standing
in any rustic or urban community would
stultify himself by utterng a depreciatory
word about the kntckerbockers or the short
skirt. And his silence is the most eloquent
proof of the fact that they have become an
institution.

SANDEN, 826 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, NY,

'Tf the proverb, laugh and the world
laughs with you" be true, it is to be
hoped that the world will adopt the new
laugh For the New York society girl
who delights in doing new things each
spring, summer autumn and winter has
devised one, and she has scored an en-
phaHc success with it. Distinguished by
a great measure of difference from the
traditional merry "Ha, ha!' ii is a laugh
to be taken notice of.
1t is not so much a laugh to tell the
truth-though it is intended TO do duty as
one-as it is a ripple of merriment. The
Smart New York girl this summer
makes no noise at all with her laughter
She keeps her mouth closed, her lips well
together But over these lips steal, when
she is amused, something that is more
than a smile. 1t is a laugh ali but the
sound. all but the opening of the mouth
and the showing of the teeth. 1t is fun
and amusement personifed, but it is all
in silence.
The world in general society thinks
might very we'll copy this for it shows
off girldom much better There are no
longer shreks of laughter to be heard
from porches and piaZzas in the summer,
and giggles have been banished once and
for all
Society mothers have been the factors
in accomplishing this, in planning the new
laughter. How they came to bring it
about is an interesting story. 1t has long
been whispered about society that the
young girls in it were making altogether
too much noise, that their gayety was rot
subdued enough. The question of what
true refinement was was commencing to
get raised. Finally societys mammas
came down with a heavy hand. AT once
the new regime was instituted.
So. if, while summering, you meet with
a girl who seems only to smile at your
witticisms, be assured that she is in the
fashion and has learned very lately the
lesson of how girls should laugh in 1885,

many marvellous articles that It is hard

of spears, turbans, whips, etc, in a ground
of blue enamel, this being the color of the
Cossack uniform. On the inside of the box
is a gracefully worded inscription, beg
ging the Empress TO accept the gift from
her faithful and devoted subjects"
The shawl, when spread out, is about 10
yards square, but it Is so exquisitely fine
that it can be passed through a ring, and
when folded up makes a parcel a very
few inches square. 1t is not only curious
but exceedingly valuable.

AS an example of the manner in which

selling? Accordingly, the lady dealer has
now blossOmed into existence, and APP
parently has come to stay. Armed with
catalogues, several well known figures in
London society have during the present
season been very conspicuous at Christie s

to JeWelry others to china. The latter
are easily spotted. Armed with Mrs Pal
Users work on marks, and with an ex-
perience, perhaps none too great the first
thing they do when they examine a plate

dealers of the male persuasion seldom
confer, but lady dealers doubtful perhaps
whether a particular piece has been en-
graved in Maryatt or Charters, chatter
Volubly together.

ferences over Plymouth vases, discussing
the merits of hideous teapots, walking Up
and down in a fidgety manner. ever and
anon cycling Bow Sphinxes, a Bristol cof-
fee cup, a Chinese saucer, or a Fulham
mug, to watch the gleam of battle steal
into their eyes when another lady de-

coveted article on the morrow, reveals
woman in a new aspect. Al present there
is more than one impecunious lady of
title clearing her 1900 a year by buying
and selling a Christe's. There are plenty
of people who, stunning an ordinary deal

The love of being photographed is also
providing a decent livelihood now for
many scions of ancient families in reduc-
ed circumstances. Moving in the best of
society they find many opportunities for
persuading Woodworking celebrides-who
would never dream of going 20 a profess
eional photographer to a sitting. Even
if the victim be inclined TO demur the
knowledge, or say rather the suspicion,
that he is doing his mpecunious friend
a good turn would be likely to cause him
to relent. The work of the amateur pho
tographer Is not, of course, distinguished
by a high excellence, but, on the other
hand, the pose of their sitters is generally
much more uncons trained, and the express
sion more natural than the wooden smile
that so often disfigures the features of
great folk when taken professionally. The
amateur they know, aud the knowledge
that they are doing somebody a good
turn helps the picture wonderfully.

we never lose anything in the nursery

Every self-respecting woman, be she
maid or wife has a natural and intense
dislike 10 ask her father or husband for
every penny she needs" says Edward
Box, writing in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal, on "Giving Allowances to Girls"
Nor Is the feeling lessened by the fact
that the money can be had for the asking
and is always given ungrudgingly. 1t is
the asking which women dislike. They
just recoil from it, and men ought TO un-
derstand it better than they do. 1t should
be said that the husband who refuses to
give his wife regular allowance is rap
idly becoming the exception. But there
are still too many fathers who withhold
an allowance from their daughters If
it be true that the average girl has no idea
of the value of money, how will she ever
gain better knowledge of its worth I'M
less she is given the opportunity? Our
girls must be educated in money matters.
and there is no surer method than by Civ
ing them money of their own to spend;
a regular weekly or monthly allowance
given them to cover certain regulated ex-
penses. It is only natural that at the
start a girl will spend foolishly. To meet
this inevitable experience the amount of
the allowance should be accordingly reg
ulated. After a while, however, when
she gets accustomed to the handling of
money she will learn its value better and
be more judicious in spending it, To give
a girl an allowance IS not a privilege, but
her right. To withhold it is to do her a
serious wrong, and likewise is an injustice
to the man whom she will marry and
whose money she will be intrusted to
spend wisely. She should have experience
before she reaches that point, and that
experience can only come to her from
her father i'm an allowance of her own
while she is his daughter in his home"

New Haven. Conn, Jan. S1, 1898.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 31, 1898. To John G. Lewis and Members of the
 Committee:
 Your proposition to arrange a musi- cal entertainment for the benefit of the permanent fund of the Connecticut Teachers Annuity guild was duly re- ceived.
 Permit me to assure the committee that delay in answering your commit nication has not been from any lack of interest; on the contrary, am heartily in sympathy with the project and have only waited to make suitable arrangements before accepting your courteous invitation. Moreover, have taken advantage of your assurance that ample time might be used in prep aration.
 It gives me pleasure now to say that a select chorus of two hundred voices from Hillhouse high school, including the two glee clubs under the charge of MT. Zimmerman, have volunteered their services for concert to be given in the new music hall on Court street during vacation week, March next. It is gratifying to know that the press of this city and throughout the state has already manifested a lively interest in the success of the guild. l doubt not that with the hearty coop eration of all concerned the proposed concert may prove substantial bene- | fit. Respectfully yours, E. JEPSON.

DEATH OF MORTIMER N. JUDD.
Caused By Shock Following Explosion

Caused By Shock, Following Explosion
 of Boiler at His Home.
 New Britain, Jan. 31.-Mortimer N. Judd died this morning at 5 o'clock.
 MT Judd died at Dr. Styles sani- tarium, to which he was taken after the explosion at his residence Satur- day. Although the injuries he received were serious and painful, they were not necessarily fatal MT. Judd had long been a sufferer from heart disease, and the shock occasioned by the explo- sion and it's results precipitated an at tack of his old malady, and the physi- clans were dubious regarding his re- covery. Hypodermic injections of strychnine were resorted to to strengthen the hearts action and while these had a beneficial effect temporar- fly, he continued to grow worse. Other remedies were resorted to, but he failed to respond and his death was expected every hour last night. Dis solution was so gradual that he died easily and without the slightest strug- gle. Mrs. Judd was with her husband when the end came
 Mortimer N. Judd was born in New Britain in 1S45, and was the son of MT. and Mrs. Loren F. Judd. He attended the public schools in this town and took a course at the high school, but did not remain to graduate He sub- seauently studied at Williston semin- ary at East Hampton, Mass, after which he entered the saddery hard ware establishment of J. E. Condict & Co.,, of New York, MT. Judd married Miss Emma Dole of Brooklyn, N, V. and four children wer born to them, one of whom, Grace H.. is dead. The remaining children are Mrs Charles M Bradley of Chicago. Mortimer M, and Harold Judd of this city After his marriage, MT. Judd formed partner ship with F. c. Dale his father-in- law, and engaged in the ship-furnish- ing business in Brooklyn.
 In 1879 he returned to New Britain and became connected with the North & Judd Manufacturing company and after a few years he removed to Chi cago and acted as the company's west ern representative. He returned tc New Britain several years ago, resid- ing here ever since, and was serving as secretary and director of the Nortt & Judd company at the time of his death

KNIEsEL QUARTET CONCERTS

KNIESEL QUARTET CONCERTS.
 Lovers of the best kind of music are urged to give their support to the com ing season of three concerts by the Kneisel quartet of Boston. These con- certs have been given now for several seasons at a loss. The deficit each year has been most generously can celled by few especially interested patrons. These persons have decided that they cannot afford to continue this practice and consequently the future of these concerts is dependent upon the support they receive this year. The subscription price is easily within everyone's reach. The price has been placed at $2 for the course, and single admission $1. The first of the concerts will be given next Monday night at College street hall. Tickets may be purchased at Steinerts.
