AT TER TWENTY FIVE YEARS
Two Sisters Meet in Ho-
boken- STORY Of the
Separation.

Two sisters who had not seen each
other for twenty-five years, met In Ho-
boken yesterday. The meeting was
brought about by the ceaseless efforts of
one of them, who spent small fortune in
prosecuting the search.
More than thirty years ago a husband
and wife in New York quarreled and
separated. Their two baby girls We're
placed in the Home for the Friendless.
There they grew up and were cared for
together until the elder, Mary, was in
dentured to a family in New York. A
year or two later a Hoboken couple named
Stein adopted the other, little tot of
four.
Mary grew up to be beautiful maiden
and before she was twenty married
wealthy Brooklyn merchant by the name
of Moore. How it came about that the re-
cords of her sisters indenture became lost
is not known. But shortly after the little
one left the home all traces of her where
abouts became unknown. Determined to
find her, the older sister hired private de-
tectives to institute search. The country
was secured, State by State, but no clue
of the lost one could be found.
keep on looking and don't mind the ex-
pense," was the only answer the detec-
tives got when reporting the result of
their futile efforts to Mrs. Moore. They
kept on and the result of their long hunt
was the meeting of the sisters yesterday
The younger sister had remained with
the Stems until about five years ago, when
she married Mr.. Dilger, well known Ho-
boken sportsman. The couple have several
children and reside at No. 50S Monroe
street.
It was at the Dilger home that the
meeting of the sisters took place. Mrs.
Dilger was amusing her little baby g.rl
at the front window when carriage and
team drove up to the door. a coachman in
livery on the box A fashionably dressed
woman alighted The caller was Mrs
Moore. She at first was doubtful whether
Mrs Dilger was her sister or not But
the latter dispelled all doubt by display
ing tiny ring on her balby's finger which
she herself had worn when tot in long
dresses Several little incidents made the
sisters sure of their relationship and then
their joy was unbounded.
Mrs. Moore remained with her sister
over night. Both are now mothers with
children of their own to care for. They
had much to talk of. Mrs. Moore, among
other things, told her sister that she had
lately received word from the West which
made her hope that their father could
yet be located. He was supposed to have
gone to California after separating from
his wife.
She has no hope of ever hearing from
her mother she said. She is inclined to
belieya her mother is dead.

COSTUMES FOR BATHING.
DIVERSITY OF FABRICS EMPLOYED IN

possibly enter into the construction Of A bathing

of these materials.

White deep maroon navy blue and almost any
shade Of gray retain the original tint through daily
immersions as long as the bathing suit lasts.
A feature Of the bathing costume Of this

sleeves are mere puffs over the shoulder. The
usual form OF cutting the neck is the square and
