FOUND AFTER FORTY YEARS
Discovery of Ring United Again Two
Loving Hearts.

A strange romance of a lost en-
gagement ring and of it's recovery
forty years later on a turtle, of the
renewal of the engagement on the
recovery of the ring, and of happy
marriage ensuing, has come to light
at Augusta. Ga.
Forty years ago, in 1865, John Mar
tin, then a constructing engineer on
the Grand Trunk railroad, and Freda
Olmstead, the belle of Augusta, were
betrothed, and as a pledge John
placed upon her finger a gold ring.
Almost Immediately he went away on
an inspection tour.
In his absence Miss Olmstead went
for a boat ride with young man on
a neighboring lake. While they were
out they caught small turtle and the
girl sportively slipped OF her en-
gagement ring and slipped it over its
head A moment later the turtle
slipped from her hand into the water
and disappeared.
When Martin returned and learned
of the incident his jealousy was
aroused. He doubted her story. AS a
result the engagement was broken
his native land.
Last spring one of a fishing party
on the lake captured a turtle and
found a diamond ring encircling it's
neck. 1t was the ring that Miss Ohm
stead had lost. She communicated
the circumstances of its recovery to
Martin, who had remained unmarried
and as happy sequel they were mar
ried in the Georgia city.
Miss Olmstead was 16 years old
when she was betrothed. Mrs. John
Martin was Sc years old on April 21.
The bridegroom is II. He exhibits
many youthful traits in talking of his
love romance. He is the only sur
viving member of his family and is
sole owner of an extensive estate in
Germany. For many years he was en-
gagged as a builder in Heidelberg, his
native city.

DressX Effects.


In thin narrow fabrics the circular
top is preferred to a skirt and the
rest is all ruff1es. One circular ruff
fle may be used as foundation, begin
below hips, and the trimming put on
this.
Princess gowns are appearing in
the thinnest of fine muslins, and
handkerchief linen and linen batiste
They are tucked to fit into the waist
line and are elaborately trimmed with
fine lace and slight designs of hand
embroidery.
Many women whose figures can
stand this severity are making uI
such gowns decollete with sleeves end
ing well above elbow for summer
evening wear. They are put ove1
slips of colored batiste at fifty cents q
yard.
These slips are also princess, fit
ted into the waist a beading of narrow
ribbon which is tied in a fiat bow in
the back and they are ruff1ed at the
foot line
The passion for hand embroidery
has grown stronger each week. Who
ever can do it, is putting it on every
possible garment.

Scheme in Hat TRIMMING.

Marvellous shaded effects are Sc
cured by employing different tints of
the same flowers in hats A toque
particularly becoming to a fair-haired
girl who dresses her hair in rather
fluffy fashion is built entirely from hy-
acinths. The foundation is pale law
ender ma1ine. Brim and crown are
overlaid with hyacinths shading from
palest to deepest lavender. On the
brim the white starts next to the hair,
and the edge is the deep shade. On
the crown the white is in the center
and the flowers deepen as the size of
the circles increase On either side CT
the hat close to the hair and extend
ing well up above the brim, are nat
rosettes of soft ribbon in the three
tints shown in the flowers, and in the
hearts of each rosette are two delicate
blush roses with pastel green foliage.

For Large Women.

A style of bodice becoming to large
women is that made with jacket
fronts, not the loose, hanging bolero
fronts, but a trim, tight fitting affair,
single or double breasted, or fastened
at the left side The jacket comes be-
low the waist line in front, and it has
a small, shaped basque back; an in
ner vest with overlapping revers
shows between, or above and below
the overlapping jacket fronts One
point that every woman at all inclin-
ed to stoutness should remember
is to keep the line of her waist
long by cutting all her clothes
with straight seam and dart lines,
and placing the waist line half
an inch below where she actually
feels the line to exist A garment
cut an inch too long wasted looks in
finitely better than one a quarter OF
an inch too short wasted; especially
is this to be noticed in the plain tailor
coat made with single fly fronts.
When the coat hangs open it rides
up in the back when not long enough
in the waist, and it gives a most awk-
ward appearance to a woman.

SPECTRE OF EDITOR APPEARED
Subordinate Notified of Death by a
Ghostiy Visitation.

q
Ghostly Visitation.
That there are more things in heav
en- and earth than are dreamed of in
his philosophy is the experience of
Charles K Melville, managing editor
of the Morning Republican at Chester.
Pa Until recently he filed the chair
of city editor of the morning paper,
but during the illness of Victor H
klett, the managing editor, he per-
formed the duties of that desk.
After sending the last edition to
press morning or two ago, he left
for his home on Madison street, which
he reached at 4 O'Clock in the morn
ing. Just as he was removing his
clothes, preparatory to getting into
bed, a shadowy figure came before
his eyes.
Thinking it was but the vague crea-
ton of a weary brain he was about
to turn out the gas light when the
figure of Mr.. Klett appeared at the
foot of the bed, fingered a moment,
taen vanished.
''Klett is dead,' said Mr.. Melville,
as the spectre disappeared.
When he reached the Office at noon
the next day Mr.. Melville was not at
all surprised to find a bulletin an
nouncing the death of the late chief.
with the further fact that he had
passed away at O'Clock.
A few days before this incident Will
liam Moore, young man, died at the
Croser hospital. Just before he died
he rose upon his bed. His face light
ed with a smile, and, exclaiming,
why, there's mother" he passed
away. His mother died thirteen years
ago.

Ribbon Flowers,

The newest table decorations are
made of ribbon, which many clever
hostesses fashion for themselves.
Debutante luncheons afford excellent
opportunities for the display of ribbon
flowers, the centerpiece and rose ia
vors being manipulated out of soft
louisine curled in such manner that
it exactly duplicates a la France rose.
Artificial leaves are used and the rose
stems are wound with green velvet
ribbon Bunches of violets are easily
conjured into shape with narrow yio-
let ribbon and when combined with
natural leaves the effect is exceeding
ly good. In making these blossoms
care must be taken that only soft rib
bon be used, as stiff satin would be
anything but pretty for such a pur-
pose

What Gray Haired Women Can Wear


Whilet there are many types of
gray haired women, they all fall into
two general classes; those who are
prematurely gray young women, and
those whose white hair is quite legiti-
mate and indicates an honorable old
age.
For the latter, nothing is more be-
coming than black, with ornamental
tions in either black or white laces.
Real white hair is usually accompan-
led by black or dark brown, or dark
gray eyes, as the blue-eyed women
grow gray slowly. So the colors sug-
gested are for dark, rather than light
eyes.
Dark greens in both olive and blue
varieties, dark silk blues and purples,
as well as quite dark reds are effec-
tive.
There is a brown approaching fawn
color that may be worn, but as a rule
browns are not becoming to those
with gray hair.
Creamy white can sometimes be
worn, as can white mus1ins and lawns
/ in the summer time.

EiImX LaceS.

An effort that assuredly means
business this season runs in favor of
f1lmy laces, headed by the ephemeral
blonde. The fresh varieties are ex-
ceptionally numerous and at present
appear to be collectively gathered to-
gether under the safe and vaguely
embracing term of French. Towards
the fashiening of Jabots together
with the prevailing ruffied and wrin-
kled effects, there is no question as to
the superior services of this finer den
telle, and under its auspices one is
the more inclined to overlook certain
extravagances of pattern. Nor will
the furore for the firmer and more
costly varieties of embroidered
lawns, as a decorative accessory, be
any less pronounced than last season

To Guide the Bind.

Blind mems dogs in London form
a large and most intelligent part of
the very few dogs which earn a living
or help their masters to do SO. The
manner of their education must have
puzzled many persons who have seen
them resolutely guiding their poor
master to his stand, or back to his
home, along crowded pavements and
over the cross streets. Many of these
dogs are taught by a half-blind man
others are instructed by the blind
men themselves especially if they
have not always been blind and re-
member the streets and turnings.

Veal Outlets with Tomatoes.

Wash two outlets and season them
with pepper and salt. Have ready
some hot lard and butter in a pan !;
put the meat into it, and fry it on
both sides until nice brown; when
done place on a hot platter.
Stew a quarter of a peck of toma-
toes, or if these are not in season, a
can will do as well. If fresh they
must be drained and mashed. Season
with pepper and salt, pour the toma-
toes in a pan with the gravy, after the
outlets have been dished, and stir
them well together Pour them over
the outlets and send to table hot.

WHAT THE TOMBSTONE SAYS
Made Occupant of Grave Rival OF
MethusaIeh.

One of Germantown's old grave
yards contains a tombstone on which
is most unusual inscription. 1t is as
follows: Sacred to the memory of
William Uxley- Died December %.
1922, aged 949 years" How any per-
son could have attained such an
extraordinary age many have wonder
ed, but the problem has at last been
solved. The dead man was 49 years,
of age, but when the stonecutter did
the work he made Mr.. Uxley "a by
mistake. Marble was expensive in
those days, and although the stone
seemed to be ruined by the error, the
tradesman did not feel like casting it
aside. After the "a he cut a nine,
and then filed in the first nine with
plaster, leaving the age, 40, as re-
quired. The ravages of time and
weather have laid bare the work as it
was originally, and now the tombstone
proclaims William Uxley to have
been 949 years of Philadelphia

Drummed Up His Flock.

The rector of a small and scattered
parish in South Norfolk, England, has
adopted a novel method of bringing
recalcitrant members of his flock to
church. The population of the parish
is only about 250, and on a recent
Sunday only two persons formed the
congregation He thereupon bestirred
himself Armed with a small hand
bell, he visited the houses of the out
lying members of his flock, and after
jangling the bell proceeded in stem
torian voice to warn all and sundry
of the pains and penalties to which.
they made themselves liable by their
apathy. The result was a complete
success.

New Ruf1e Trick.

A new ruf1e trick seems to have
accomplished the apparently impos-

ruffie is of embroidery, shaped and
gathered into half circles, which join
at the tips. Under this ruffie is an

winter in the South of France, receiv-
ing the attention accorded to multi

all this care that he learned to talk
and strangest of all, his teacher
has been his inseparable companion,
an immense parrot, which makes as
much noise as a hundred ladies at a
January sale. Poll always addresses
the chimpanzee as Consul and it
is in the same way with a long wait
between the two syllables that the
animal speaks its own name in an

Mr.. Bostock, his owner, was at first
unwilling to transport the animal into
England's uncongenial climate He
wished to insure his life, but found
the insurance companies dsinclined
to accept the risk.
Eventually their disinclination was
overcome, and Consul II. will be in
sured for e5O,OOO, or e 92s, 900 more

premium is to be 20 per cent. The
condition is that Consul II. is not to

According to his trainer it was
business of extraordinary difficulty to
induce the creature to complete the
circle. Half way up the ring he would
go cheerfully, but the topmost section
in which for the fraction of a second
he hung back downwards was only
negotiated after months and months
of practice. AS in all other loops the
secret of success is speed, but this
tiny fox terrier is the only dog in
existence to perform the feat.

deep Spanish f1ounce, quite straight,
but not too full This has tucks and

lace. Stitched bands of the material
are not among the new fashions for

a Safe Method.

There is no prettier nor safer meth
cd for carrying a watch than when it
is securely set into bracelet, which
is usually made of bars of gold or sill
yer, interlaced diagonally, as are the
iron bars of street-car gate These
bars can be opened wide or closed
tightly so as to fit snugly about any
wrist. Another way for carrying a
watch is to have it set in a leather
bracelet which buckles around the
wrist

The shirt waist costume has to
some extent superseded the tailor suit
for general wear. The accompanying
illustration shows natty box-piaited
waist, combined with a side-plaited
skirt in round length. Serge, cheviot,
or shepherd plaid among the wool ma
terials are exceedingly good for a
frock destined to be worn in cold
weather, and any of the inexpensive
mercerized cottons, which so strongly
resemble silk, are suggested for the
summer months.
