she SO deeply desires to have everyone

the Churchill family who are usually In
some degree of hot water with each other.
But the most remarkable thing which
the young duchess has accomplished is
that of bringing together those two arch
enemies, the wives of the late Duke of
Marlborough. the Marchioness of Bland
ford, and Lily, Duchess of Marlborough,
who was Mrs. Hammersley of New York.
The Marchioness of Blandford divorced
her husband, the Marquis of Blandford,
who was afterward Duke of Marlborough.
When, however, the American duch. SIS
made herself SO agreeable to her steps3n,
the present Duke of Marlborough, that he
preferred to spend his time at Blenheim
with his stepmother rather than with his
own mother, the marchioness was deeply
, indignant, and she showed her resentment
by using her influence in court circles

Egyptinn Rings.

Engagement rings among the Egyptians
were always made of iron, symboliZtng the
mutual sacrifice of liberty. One of the
earliest gems used in the engagement rings
was loadstone, which was supposed to in
dicate the force of attraction which drew
the maiden from her own family into
another.
Gold money used TO circulate in the form
of rings in Egypt at very early time,
and the Egyptian at his marriage placed
one of these gold rings on his wife's finger
TO signify that he trusted her with all his
property. 4s.
Among the Anglo Saxons the bridegroom
gave pledge or wed at the betrothal
ceremony The wed included a ring,
which was placed on the maidens right
hand, where it remained, until, at the mar
riage, it was transferred to the fourth
finger of the left.
The gift of a ring in Spain is looked upon
as equivalent TO promiee of marriage, and
is considered sufficient proof for maiden
to claim her husband. A well-known GUS
tom is that of passing piece of bride cake
through the wedding ring, and those to
whom the pieces are given place them
under their pillows at night in order that
they may dream of their husband that is
to be. These "dreamers," as they are
called, should be drawn nine times through
the ring. Many brides, however. are so
superstitious that neither for that purpose
nor on any occasion will they take the ring

HOW HE WON HER.
Successful Military wooing of n Son
of Murs.


There recently visited in Detroit, says
the Free Press, a military man whose
beautiful wife was an instantaneous ia
vorite with all those who had the pleasure
of meeting her. She was tall, erect. grace
ful, with a positive wealth Of health and
color The romance of her courtship was
entirely out of the usual.
A hard headed and rugged old Southern
er suddenly became rich through the dis
covery OF coal in hills so steep that they
defied all efforts at cultivation. He was a
widower with one daughter. and nothing
was left undone that money would do for
her She was worthy of this layishment
of riches. and added the charm OF intel
lectual attainments TO those bestowed by
nature. AS a result the father became
possessed with the idea that there was not
one man in a million worthy of such a
daughter, and resolutely set himself the
task of driving away the other 999,ss9 as
they might present themselves.
They came. but when they asked of the
old gentleman the privilege of becoming
suitors he promptly created hurricane.
He gave the signing swains to plainly un-
derstand that they were too utterly un-
worthy, and that their presence in the
future would be the signal for opening up
from an ambuscade vaguely limited at.
Lover after lover had ridden desperately
away from the door before the son OF Mars
appeared. Upon him the stern parent
opened up after the usual manner. The
military man was characterized as pre-
sumptuous, mercenary, and impsrtinent.
The soldier smiled and declined to blush.
He laughed and snapped his fingers when
the old gentleman followed up with an
other outburst.

mirably. What an actor you are. You

Then the old gentleman wilted, sang low
and surrendered, subject TO the approval

HER MOTHERS STOCKINGS.
The Bride Thought of Them at Her
Marriage.

A good story is being whispered around
about one of the beautiful brides of last
week. She was married in a big church
with the usual Accomplishments of flowers
and pretty bridesmaids. Everyone re-
marked how perfectly beautiful the bride
locked as she walked up the aisle on the
arm OF her father to meet the bridegroom
waiting at the altar.
After the wedding breakfast, and just
as the bride was preparing to start for
the depot to catch the afternoon train for
her honeymoon, an old school friend of
her mother came TO her, kissed her on
both cheeks, and said:
Ny dear child. you were the most per-
fectly lovely bride that | have seen this
winter, AS you walked up the aisle TO
meet the man who was SO soon to be your
husband, everyone could see from the
half-frightened yet trustful lock upon
your face, and the firm yet tender smile
about your mouth, that you were think

A MENDING FACTORY.
Where Shattered Ornaments Are
Made New.

Buried in the heart of the quiet resi-
dence portion of Boston is the oldest lit
tie factory in the world. There, in little
alcoye overlooking Governor Wolcott's
mansion and adjacent dwellings of fash
ionable Back Bay, unbeknown TO many of
it's nearest neighbors, is a reconstruction
factory. tiny laboratory where heaps OF
worthless fragments of glass and china are
annually reconstructed into hundreds of
thousands of dollars in the form of beau
tiful vases, highly priced statuary. and
other precious bric-abrac of stone or
vitreous material.
From the outside you would never rec
ognize the little factory, for the single
window, though fronting the street, is at
the top of fine old mansion, and is bor-
dered by ivy without and trailing vine
within-back OF which are lace curtains.

Day after day shattered remains of rare

Some come from India and far Cathay;
some from ancient Egypt; some from

OF the garment is trimmed-this for the
artist who will make a picture of il for
the fashion Journal and also to paste on
the paper pattern to show how the gar

half is left untrimmed, and 1t is from this
half that the paper patterns are cut.
After the designer has finished her work
the forewoman may not approve of 4; in
this case all the designers time and labor
are lost TO the house-not to her, :or she
draws salary. But her pride and heart
are in her work, and she feels more dis

great deal of care. for there are others
above her who must pass upon the work.
| This care is ultimately to the benefit of
the designer; 1t stimulates her TO do good
work. A careful history of the patterns of
