A message from Sulphur this
afternoon conveyed the sad in
telligence of the death of Mrs.
T. B. Cathey at that place from
pneumonia. Only a short time
ago Mrs. Cathev went to Sulphur
with her husband who has business
interests there. Shortly after her
arrival there she contracted pneu

end came today. Many Ardmore
friends have been with her during
her illness and everything possible
to be done was done. 1t could
not be ascertained whether the re-
mains would be brought here for
burial or taken to the family bury

fierce men who made Italy Savage and
unmanageable." The Veronese believe
the legends of these families to be his
torically true, but, although the his
torians have neglected it, the romano
ers have not The first written story of
the loves of "Juliet and her Romeo" of
which there is account is that of Mas
ccio, a Neapolitan who lived about
the middle of the fifteenth century.
He places the scene of his action at
Sienna, and makes no mention of the
Montagues and Capulets. The bride re-
covers from her trance, as did Juliet,
but to find her husband executed for
murder. Douce takes the legend back
TO a Greek romance by Xenophon
Epherius. The story of Romeo and Juliet
was also told by Luigi da Porta, and his
romance, published after his death
in 1885, brings the tale down more close
1y to the time of Shakespeare. In 1854
Bandello made the legend plot for one
of his novels. Later still came a novel
by Pierre Boisteau, which was trans
lated by Painter in his palace of Pleas
ure'' in 1861, and on the French story
Arthur Brooke founded an English
poem, published in 1862, under the
title, 1.-The Tragicall Hystorye of Ro-
meus and Juliet, written first in Italian
by Bandell and MOVIE in Englishe by Ar.
Dr." Indeed, play in English was
written and published before Shakes
peare's. In a copy of Brooke's poem
belonging to Rev. II. White, of Lich-
field, there is this address to the reader:
Though I saw the same argument late
" set forth on the stage with more
commentator than can look for. be.

penned as it is, may serve to lyke good
effect if the readers do brynge with

which hath the more Encouraged me to
publish it, suche as it isl
Shakespeare had therefore "set
foorth" for him his great play, balcony
and all, but he had courage enough to
try one of his own, and it was the
Shakespeare play that lived. Many at
tempts have been made to show that
Shakespeare spoiled" the story by
!. changing some of the scenes in his
models, but most people have never
heard of this fact. Shakespeare's play
was first printed in 1897 under the
title: can Excellent conceited Trag-
edie of Romeo and Juliet. As it hath
been often with great applause) plaid

i. of Hundon, His SERVANTS" A copy
of this edition, as may be imagined, is
very rare and highly valuable. The
play was revised and corrected, and its
finished form is to be found in the great
folio edition of 1923.

upon the back with black or some
other dark color, they have bands OF
white upon them fully an eighth OF an
inch wide The effect is, however, very
pretty and extremely dressy.
The distinguishing feature of the
evening glove is that it is composed of
two materials. The lower part is of
kid. but the upper portion, that is, the
portion extending from wrist to shout
der, is made of brocaded satin to cor
respond with the gown. When plain
silk or satin gown is worn, embroid-
cred kid gloves match it, but these are
so very expensive that it is only the
wealthy who use them to any extent.

THE TOMB OF JULIET.
q Magnificent and Costly Structure
Is to he Built Around 1t in the
Near Future.

Cable dispatches bring the news that
The tomb of Juliet at Verona is to be re-
stored and that a magnificent structure
is to be built around it.
Juliet, like some kings of England, a
few Roman generals and other person
ages now equally famous, had never
been known to mankind at large but
for the art of Shakespeare. Lord By
ron, writing to Thomas Moore from
Verona, speaks in this wise of Juliet's
gravel "Of the truth OF Juliet's story
the Veronese seem tenacious to de-
gree, insisting on the fact, giving date
l1303) and showing a tomb. 1t is a
plain, open and partly decayed sar-
cophagus, with withered leaves in it,
in wild and desolate conventual gar
den, once a cemetery, now ruined to
the very graves. The situation struck
me as very appropriate to the legend,
being blighted as their love-" It was
from this legend that Shakespeare drew
the plct for his immortal play. As a
matter of dull fact, Juliet's resting
place may be a ruined grave and desc
late, but it needs no transformation to
restore it to the Imagination.
A grave? Oh, no: a lantern,

The unsight1y white marks on tables
caused by standing too hot dishes upon
them may be removed by the applica-
ton of a little paraffin rubbed on to
them with piece of flannel. After
ward polish with alcohol.
To remove stains from linen rub them
on either side with yellow soap, and
then apply starch made into paste
with cold water. Rub this paste well
into the stains and then put the cloth
in the sun-for some hours. After it
has been washed in the ordinary way
the stains will have disappeared.
To clean enameled saucepans: Dis
solve half a teaspoonful of chloride of
lime in saucepan of water and boil
till all the stain is removed.
To prevent the saucepan burning
when boiling milk: Rinse well with
cold water before putting the milk in,
and heat over a slow fire.
The oil left from sardines is an ex-
