James l. Waterbury was indignant al
what she termed an entire misrepresen-
tati0u Of the facts.
Courtship Of Allen
She told the story of her mothers
marriage with Seacord and events which
followed this union.
Il never saw my father" said Mrs.
Waterbury, and neither did my mother,
who is away on a visit at this time, ever
get a glimpse Of him after he left his
wife and child early il the sixties. I
was a girl OF ten years when Iny mother
married James +. SeacOrd. in 1866. lie
had at that time just returned from the
war. as an enlisted man. I believe.
My father had disa ppeared severn,
years before. No one believed that ne
was alive. In fact he was reported
dead Ny mother was cOurted by Mr..
him.
A Happy Couple.
Il want 10 say that during thIrty-two
years Of their married life they were as
happy rs "A couple could possibly be. Two
years after the marriage word came TO
my mother that her husband, John NJ.
Allen. was alive IN New York She i'm
mediateiy communicated this fact 10 my
steDfather
Mr. Seacord knows very well that
nay mother intrusted to him this infor-
nation. His own brother viii verify the
fact. There is 10 proof which we can
give that my father was alive when my
mother married Mr.. Seacord.
1T was said that he was seen in the
village streets. II could never be veri-
fed by a member of our family. Later
We heard that he died two years later.
Two years ago. influenced by a mo-
tive about which / 90 not care 10 speak.
Mr. Seacord and his wife signed ar
urlos for a separation. HIS property
had been in Mrs. ScacOTd's name. She
returned 20 him One-half Of the estate
which amounted 20 about $1,000. He
then signed papers that hc would not

A Lace-Trimmed Skirt.

The skirt was put on the band in full
pleats and some few inches below the
hips was added a band of broad lace
finished OH each side with two small
ruchings like those used between the
bertha and the yoke just in front
about five inches apart, were two of the
four loop ribbon bows. the ends hanging
Well down below the foot OF the lace
These ends were caught in two OF
three loops and bows.
BESIDES the two on the front Of the
skirt there were two more OF these
bows on each side. the side knots being
on the lower end Of the lace instead OF
the top, as in front and back Just above
the hem was another row Of this broad
lace insertion. The girdle was Of wide
blue ribbon The parasol was blue and
the nat was OF white stray, trimmed
with lilacs and blue ribbon. with the
long-ribbon streamers tied under the
chin in poke bonnet style.

The smartest hats Of the moment,
however, are the broad brimmed direc-
toire shape with the jam-pOt crowns.
trimmed with a fat band OF leaves set
closely round the crown. a couple OF
huge peonies of different tones Of the
same color, and a knot Of velvet and
satin laid fiat on the brim at the back

An Attractive Yoke Model.

Most effective are the gowns of batiste
edging and wide Valenciennes used in
terchangeably. One attractive model had
d square cut, collarless yoke Of en-
broidered batiste with a deep bertha Of
lace falling almost 10 the broad girdle
Beneath the bertha the sleeve consisted
OF large pun of plain batiste. below
when was a narrow ruffie Of lace and
a deep cuff OF the embroidered Batfste
edged with lace The skirt consisted o..
alternate rows of lace and batiste EN-
brCldery OF the finest kind, each row
slightly wider than the one above, and
the edge Of both lace and embroidery
forming finish for the top OF the ma
terial below The belt was OF black
velvet, and about the neck was worn
narrow velvet ribbon. The hat was
black, OF the fat, sailor shape with
one long, white ostrich plume about the
crown. Where black and white is be-
coming IL viii be seen, but lighter shades
are more in vogue this season.
another pretty gown made UP in the
plain batiste had a yoke Of wide Nalen-
cicnnes. There was also a deep pointed
side 50 as to form pointed effect just
in front and on the sleeves The yoke
too, was rounded. with a decided al

tween the bertha and the yoke were two
tiny ruchings OF batistc. and Just In

FOR BOUDOlR WEAR.
The Simple japanese Kimono Still in
High Favor.

The simple japanese kimono. is III
greater favor than ever for negligce
wear. because Of its ease and grace. and
the qulckuess with which it can be ar
ranged or discarded. Many beautiful
and quite Oriental designs in cotton
creyes are shown in the shops for this
purpose These can be made up quickly
and iuexpensively. or. e desired, fash
toned out Of dainty silks. The boudOiJ
maid who affects kimonos usually wears
the hcclless toilet slipper made out OF "a
piece Of the fabric in her kimono.
The short klmono is also much favored,
and IS usually made OF cotton or silk
Crepes or OF handKerChiefs. Red and
blue bandannas and white haudke-chiefs
with colored borders are favorites for
this ncgligee. More fullncss is required
for the lzimono than the combins Jacket.
The Grecian Costume.
The strictly Grecian costume of white,
made 10 fail very full in gathers, with
cord and tasseI arrapgement at the neck
or waist. is another style which finds
high favor. Sometimes the material is
draped to fall from the lett shoulder or
from both in soft folds, held by kno,
or buckle China and India silks. crepe
de chimes, and cotton crcpes are desir
able for such robes
For the thoroughly modern boudoir
maid O -bewildering display Of materials
is offered-whitc and delicately tintec
chiffons. mOussclines. GauZes, and point
d-esprits. A liberty silk robe is shown
in opal shades, with an cpalcscent Sc
quin girdle to secure it at the waist line.
RULED and plated ruchlngs have in
vaded the realm of the boudoir gown
4 red creme de chine has angel sleeves
OF accordion pleated chiffon. edged with
red ruching The yoke is made entirely
of the ruching which has a tiny SIX
cord edge.

GOWNS or BATISTf
Valenciennes Lace Enters Largely Into
Trimming.

Trimming.
Handsomest and most effective Of all
costumes for reception or garden fete
are the gowns of batiste. white. or col
ored, embroidered or deliberately trim
med with lace. Pale shades in pink,
blue, and lavender are charming. the
solid color being relieved by lace and the
cOloring in TIE hat
Although for simpler gowns and even
elaborate silk costumes narrow NaencI-
ennes Is exceedingly smart. still the one
inch edging can we're be so effective as
the broad Nalenciennes lierre and Irish

narrower lace may be used

differences with swords In the public
grounds above named. They met at q
little after o'clock In the evening, and
