Pearl. .Die" in the Dark.


That pearls ''die" in obscurity and
retain their luster and value when
worn frequently is fact that has al
ways to be borne in mind by the own
ers Of jewels.
The statement that historical pearl
necklace In the Louvre, originally
worth 100000, is rapidly depreclatins
did not in the least surprise the man
ager of well-known firm of jewelers..
Pearls" he said, must be worn
frequently to preserve them. If you
take 4 pearl necklace and lock 1t up
you will find that in the course of years
the pearls become dull and lose the
sheen that makes them so valuable.
Heorlooms which have been carefully
treasured will sometimes be found to
have deteriorated in this way. They
lose their glow and In some instances
become almost black. Pearl necklaces
never keep SO well as when they are
constantly on the necks of their own
ers.
ut has been suggested that person.
nj influences have something to do with
the matter, but think 1t is more like
ly that the effect is due to light and
air. You can wear pearls practically
as long as you like, certainly for fifty
years, and they would give NO lndica-
ton Of change, and you might lock-
pearls up and in perhaps twenty years
they would show signs Of dying
There are. however, ways of resusci-
tating pearls, but the fact that they
die Ia quite clear"

SOCIETY BELLE a souAw.

Daughter of wealthy New-YoxIxer
IL Wife of an Indian.
A daughter of one of New York's
wealthiest and most widely, known
hotel men, wearing moccasins on her
feet and party-colored shawl over
her shoulders and carrying papoose
strapped to her back-this Is c. =
the curious spectacles that W..

seekers from all parts of the /. cry
who will go to Lander, W when
the government opens the 5noshone

1t doubtless is perfectly safe to
say that there are few white women
In the world who for mere love OF
man would give up New York for an
Indian reservation $50 miles from q

wealth for poverty, silks and satins
for the coarse apparel OF squaw,
but that is precisely what Grace
Wetherbee did. She did 1t, more
over, not for love Of white man OF
her own race, but for love Of an In
dian who is now her husband and the
father Of her child.
1t is q strange tale, tina. Of this
daughter Of wealthy and widely
known New Yorker and her red-skin-
ned husband.
Grace Wetherbee's father was and
still is one of the proprietors Of the
Manhattan hotel in New York City,
which. until the Waldorf-Astoria was
built was the finest hotel In the
metropolis.
Six years ago Miss Wetherbee came
from New York out to Fort Washable,
eighteen miles east of Lander, to visit

the family of j. X. Moore, who was
at that time post trader there.
At the home of Mr.. Moore Miss
Wetherbee met Sherman Coolidge, a
full-blooded Arapahoe Indian; who
was then and still is conducting a
little Episcopal mission at the Sho-
shone reservation, a few miles from
the fort.
1t was a case Of love at first sight,
Of that sort of love that laughs at
locks and keys and defes the whole
world.
Coolidge called frequently at the
modest home Of the post trader to see
Miss Wetherbee and openly and bold
ly paid court to her. Nor did she
discourage his suit, as most daughters
Of wealthy New York hotel men doubt
less would have done. Cantrariwise,
she encouraged 1t, and when, not long
after the couple first met, he asked
her to become his wife, she promptly
and unhesitatingly consented.
The engagement was a brief one.
Arrangements were promptly made
for the nuptials. The young Indian
missionary and the daughter Of the
wealthy New Yorker presented them
selves before Rev. Mr.. Roberts, who
was conducting little mission at the
Shoshone reservation, and requested
him to make them husband and wife.
He declined to perform the marriage
ceremony. Nothing daunted. the low
ers thereupon set out by stage for
Casper, nearly 200 miles distant from
the fort, resolved to have the knot
tied there. When Mr.. Roberts saw,
however, that they were determined to
carry out their purpose to become
husband and wife he relented, called
them back and performed the cere-
mopy at his home.
Since their marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Coolidge have lived happily together
and child has been born Of their
union-the papoose which the mother
carries strapped to her back a. squaws
carry their infants.
Despite the fact that she il the
daughter Of wealthy and cultivat-
Cd New York man, despite the fact
that she was reared amid the refine
ments Of civilization and the Injuries
Of wealth, despite the fact that she
was given all the educational and So
cial advantages that money and the
theughtfulness Of fond parents could
supply, Mrs. Coolidge has fallen into
many Of the customs and become ad-
dicted to many of the habits Of the
red people among whom she has lived
