have entered room without being seen by
the others.
And the relation of this story brought out
an even more mysterious one. There had
been some burglars in town and one night a
prominent gentleman warned his wife that
she had better hide n very valuable diamond
which she owned. Acting on this advice the
lady pinned the diamond TO the inner side OF
her nightrobe and went TO bed In the morn
ing the diamond was gone and since then
no trace Of 1t has been found. 1t was impos-
sible for burglars to have entered the room
without leaving n trace. The husband Is
such good man, so rich and so fond % his
wife that he cannot be connected with the
disappearance. The only possible solution
seems to be that the woman nervous over
the fear Of burglars, had hidden the jewel,
while in state OF somnambulsm, so care
fully that 1t cannot be found.
The third story was odd rather than mys-
terious. woman had hung a diamond ring
on nail in her kitchen while engaged in
some household task. 1t disappeared and
no amount of search availed to reveal its
Whereabouts. The hired girl said she had
burned up lot of sweepings and the ashes
from the stove were thoroughly sifted. At
last the girl remembered box Of wet saw
dust which would not burn and which she
had emptied behind the house. Afterward
this sawdust had been shoveled to another
part of the yard around the roots of tree
The woman went down on her hands and
knees and paved over the heap and was re-
warded by recovering her diamond.

QUEER LOSSES OF WOMEN.
singular MisfOrtunes that Sometimes
BefaiI Careless Fair Ones.

A party of women out in Hutchinson,
Kan, were recently discussing the mishaps
that had befallen them in the loss OF yalua-
bles and three stories were related that were
decidedly out of the ordinary. In the town
there is a bathing pool which last summer
was literally patronized by the ladies.
Around the pool are number Of dressing
rooms, and in one Ct these two ladies pre-
pared themselves for swim, one going into
the water before the other had disrobed, As
the second lady was about to leave the dress
ing room she discovered her companions
pocketbook lying on a bench and forthwith
she reproached her friend for her careless
ness. A little later the first lady went into
the dressing room and lying by the side OF
her friends clothes she found a sack of dia-
monds, such as rings, pins and brooches,
whereupon in turn she upbralded her friend
for worse piece Of carelessness than the
affair of the pocketbook But have no dia-
monds," said the first lady in astonshment,
and almost at once there was great hue
and cry from a dressing room at the further
end OF the row, from which woman soon
made her appearance, claiming to ha 70 been
robbed. II was found by some mysterious
means the diamonds had been transferred
from one dressing room to another. Al.
three OF the ladies are prominent and above
suspicion. No one entered either of the
rooms except their rightful occupants. No
one else was at the pool Neither could

MRS. FREMONT IN OLD AGE.
Life of the Widow of the Famous
Pathfinder In California;.

In the decline of her life Mrs Jessie Ben
ton Fremont, widow of the famous Path
finder" and first candidate of the republican
party for president of the United States, is
living quietly in pleasant home In the
enviroLs of Los Angeles, Cal. The home
was gift from the women of California, a
token OF their tender regard, and they are
happy in knowing the wife of 'the path
finder" and the daughter of "old bullion"
is in their midst, loving and beloved.
The Fremont cottage Is one OF the points
of interest in Los Angeles. The grounds
are full OF tropical verdure, while the blos-
soming OF the rarest roses and brilliant
effect of Towering, climbing vines add
greatly to their beauty. The home is filled
with handsome old furniture and collections

mont, Miss Bentons first appearance in
the really fashionable world was when, at
IA, she was chosen as one OF the eight
bridesmaids for the wedding OF the elderly
Russian ambassador, Count Bodisco. Count
Bodisco's bride, a beautiful girl Of l6, was
being educated with Jessie Benton at the
Georgetown seminary, that dignifed, upper
class finishing school near Washington,
where many young women of southern
families. daughters OF senator's, army and
navy officers, were fitted for future social

slipper scintillating with tiny gold stars,
and with these can be worn very captivating
hose Of black silk worked in gold threads
up the instep. To even the ordinary black
French kid or satin dancing shoe a high gold
heel is given and the luxurious rose or blue
quilted satin bedroom pantoune is decorated
with bullion fringe about the top.
Another excuse for garnishing n slipper
with gold is that of running a gold braid
about the top of the delicate foot covering,
and tying IL over the instep in a bow with
tasseled ends. Very tapering of toe and lofty

the nonce women have given up the use
Of delicate suede and patent leather ties,
and are finding novelty and satisfaction
in slippers that are intricately strapped over

AN AMERICAN QUEEN OF IRELAND.

regal Throue of Dublin Castle.

n bel1e tne
regal Throue of Dublin Castle.
Writing of Mary Cation Patterson, in the
January Ladies' Home Journal, Williain
Perline recalls that "the Americans read
with wondering eyes the stories which came
from ireland of the regal magnificence with
which one of their countrywomen was daz-
zling the British people; how she had be-
come the wife of the brother Of the duke Of
Wellington, and how the court of the newly
welded pal at Dublin castle rlvaled the
brilliancy of royalty itself. She was called
the American queen of the Irish court
and in no capital Of Europe would her
Aatterers allow that there was woman
who surpassed her in the elegance of her
bearing and in the accomplishments of a
sovereign Indeed, she was only one of
group OF sisters whom Europeans hailed as
the American graces Their mother,
daughter of Charles Carroll, had married
Richard Cation, a poor English gentleman
of handsome face and presence, who set
tied in Baltimore. Mary, the most famous
of the three daughters, married Robert
Patterson, a brother of Betsy Patterson,
the first wife of Jerome Bonaparte. After
the death of her husband in 1922, the Bal
timore belle revisited Europe. Hardly less
eminent than the duke of Wellington be-
fore the battle of Waterloo had been his
brother, the marquis of Wellesley. In the
spring of 1925 il was announced in Ireland,
where Wellesley was lord lieutenant, that
he was engaged to her, and it was noted in
the United States as curious coincidence
that while one American girl had married
the brother of Napoleon, another, and she
her sistcr-in-l law, should marry the brother
of Napoleon's conqueror.'

French history is so invested. During all

cuffs and collars are of starched handker-

crepe and nuns yelling cover the small
Marie Stuart bonnet, and the veil itself

Later mourning these days offers a very
tempting opportunity for splendid display
with some women, even widows, who wear
full costumes OF carefully creped black silk
muslin or net gowns encrusted with black
chiffon flowers, the beauties of which are
often enhanced by an artistic application OF
lusterless spangles and beads. From France
they are sending over a crepe that. to all
appearances, is quite like the English or
thodoX weed, but Is OF a far lighter and
more plant quality. 1t is made up with
applications of gun metal spangles, which
Is now voted mourning material.
In the makeup Of somber gowns, for
women whose palor and wrinkles are cru
ely heightened by the close company of
the dull weeds, a great deal OF justifiable
art IL displayed. 1t is permissible, for
example, to open a mourning gown in n
round or square about the shoulders and
fil In this space with rucked white chiffon,
or make both yoke and collar, and under
sleeves to match, of white net, dotted with
black beads or chenille. Under the net or
chiffon dull white silk is the lining: and
Just as often as white over white Is used
for this purpose, black net or chiffon is
drawn over white and relieves the heavi-
ness of the mourning without detractlng
from its dignity or significance.
Mourning sleeve Bands.
While the controversy over the appro-
priateness OF the mourning sleeve band con-
tinues to rage between its advocates and
its enemies the passive mass OF women are
silently advancing an irresistabe argument
In its favor by wearing it, Perhaps the
Sleeve strap is not correct, but 1t certainly
Is worn, by all women who go into courtesy
mourning, and by those who are deep in
weeds, but glad to save the heavy expense
of buying a whole new series OF winter
wraps by putting their colored coats into
crepe bands. This distinguishing band OF
crepe or black henrietta is worn as often
