No formal announcement had been
made until several days prior to the

sonal friends of the family were pres
ent at the ceremony.
The decorations were elaborate. In
the broad hallway, the columns sup
porting the stairs we're wreathed with
roses and INTERVIEWING green. The
mantelpieces were banked with Mar
cheil Neil, and American beauty roses,
and these also filed vases, window
stills and every imaginable nook where
flowers could be placed. The effect
was charming. The large parlors were
similarly decorated.
To the strains of Lohengrin's we'd
ding march, which was played by Mrs.
Laura Fitzhugh Preston, the little

only sister of the bride, entered the
room, followed by Miss Clyde McNair

Field Day sports Enjoyed mt MIR.
DeRenne's Country Home.
With the delightful adjunct of
cloudless blue skies and fresh cool
hreezes. after stormy weather, the aft
ernon fete at wormsloe yesterday was
as charming as could be imagined. The
natural beauty of the surroundings,
with the pretty grassy lawns in sight
and the nearby woods putting on their
spring green, made it a pleasure to be
out of doors, and the novelty of a
Gymkhana, as well as the informality
of the affair, gave it particular charm.
The guests on arriving at the gates
were directed to the race track, which
could be seen beyond the house, gaily
decorated with flags. Here Mr. and
Miss DeRenne received their guests
informally. The track was shut in by
a fence lined on each side with Amer
lean flags, and down the center at In
tervals, TO indicate the course, were
red flags flying from high STATS. At
one end was the starting post, with
great bell hung in the middle to give
the signal A card indicating the con-
ditions of the various races, was fast
ened at one side and was read with
interest while the guests We're assemb-
ling. The announcement of the races
were made by Mr.. DeRenne through
a megaphone. All were from the start
ing point and return. except the chick
en- races.
The first, and one OF the funniest, was
a sack race for boys, the youngsters
being tied up to the necks in bags of
crocus 1t was won by Spencer Shot
ter. who receiver a silver coin purse
as the prize Will Mackall won the
second prize, a watch fob. This start
ed the afternoon off hilariously, and
afterwards the fun never waned. In
the race for girls that followed. Miss
Mary Shooter won, and received a sill
yer pin. in the design of a bird with
outstretched wings.
Wonderfully pretty was the second
race for girls, each carrying a basket
filled with flowers on her head as she
sped down the track. Miss Sallie Car
michael won, the prize being a pretty
gold hatpin. The roses were after
wards distributed among the guests
who were scattered around the track.
The next was a race for men carry
clippers of water. one of the best and
most exciting of the afternoon. Mr..
Lester Karow came dashlng back to
the starting post at a fine speed but
with an empty dlpper, and the prize,
a cigar case, was won by Mr.. Henry
c. Walthour, who held his dipper and
its contents steadily aloft as he hur-
ried to the goal.
The obstacle race for boys was won
by young Tom Wylly, who climbed a
log fence. ran through some wickets,
leaped over hurdles, and was back at
the starting post away ahead of his
comrades. A race for girls. each car
rying an egg in a spoon. was won by

freshments in courses were served. An

TO APPEAR FoR CHARITY.

The performance of the Knowles,
hypnotists, to be given this
week. commencing tomorrow night,
and closing Wednesday night, with a
special matinee on the last day, will
have a semi-social interest, by the fact
that a percentage of the proceeds are
to be divided between the Fresh Air
Home and the Home for Incurables,
two charities in which society is large
ly interested.
The last appearance of the Knowles
here was one of the successful theatrl-
cal events of the season, crowded
houses witnessing the performances al
most every night. With the addition
al interest given by the knowledge
that the present engagement will so
largely benefit the charities mentioned,
substantial receipts may be ANTICIPATED.

CHAPTER V.-Continued.

Lord Catherington tried to speak as
easily as ever, but his face began to
wear a. troubled expression. He turned
towards the fire and took out his cigar
case, but he held it in his hand, for
getting what he had meant to do.
The man went on: ...#
1--WE only just traced you, followed
you here from New York, working my
passage. When I heard of Lord Cath
erington's doings. but not of Lady
Catherington's, 1 came to find out
what had become, of her. You mar
ried her; what have you done With
her? Is she alive?"
she was alive few days ago. Per-
haps you don't know that she ran
away from me in New York without
a word, as, l suppose, she did from
you?"
mo. I didn't know it. Why should
she run away from a rich man.?
II wasn't rich them"
The man looked at him suspiciously.
That's your story. l should like TO
know hers. Where is she?'
II haven't the least idea"
The man made a spring forward; 1T
was like the action of a wild beast.
The sudden readiness with which Lord
Catherington turned and faced him
had the effect such an action is sup
posed to have upon a beast. The rag
ged stranger was cowed and turned
away in his turn.
You must forgive me-" said he, in
a mum bling tone. Nothing she d1d
or could do would alter what l feel.
She was the one great passion OF my
life; even now / can't keep cool and
sane when I think of her, when l
imagine she may be in want
"She had no appearance of that
when I saw her."
The man turned upon him, straight
ening himself and looking searchingly
into Lord Catherington's eyes.
what did she want with you,
them"
The vlscount hesitated. Some in
stinct warned him not to speak Of the
child to this man. But even while he
pondered, the ragged stranger, ad-
vanced his haggard face, said quickly;
what of the child, them"
What do you mean2"
His breath came quickly; he
clutched the back of the nearest chair
with nervous fingers. The ragged
man smiled grimly:
THAT little fair-haired girl I've seen
about here. who Is she?"
"She Is my daughter" answered
Lord Catherington quickly.
But the man sprang erect from the
crouching position In which he had
been leaning against the table, and
with a wild cry shook his head in
savage. emphatic denial.
mo, no, you must know better than
that. The child Is mine, and I must
have her. She Is mlne-mine!"

tent their self-respect, and have little
pride in their habitations.
Into such homes the nurses carry the
doctrine Of cleanliness, impressing the ne
cessity of ventilation and an observance
Of the rules of healthful existence. Often
they are met with sullen rebuffs or surly
acquiescence in their request to be al
lowed to see and care for the sick. Again
they are admitted with cheerful indif-
ference as to the care Of the patient or
the ministrations Of the nurse. Some
times they are sent for and their word
Is regarded as law.

The next home visited was that of an
old woman so crippled by rheumatism
as to be unable to care for her house or
herself. The room in which she lay was
dirty but there was an excuse for it. The
unfortunate woman had been unable to
leave her bed for several days and such
work as had been done was by netghbors
who had called. A physician was notified
quently visited until the old woman was
able to leave her bed and attend to her
