PAGET WEDDING AN

London. Oct 25-Though it was
intended to be an extremely quiet az
fair, with the guest list confined to
the relatives and few intimate
friends. the wedding Of Miss Leila
Paget, who has often been called a
titled American grandchild." and Mr..
Ralph Paget proved TO be the event of
the present week in fashionable so
ciety. In order to carry out the idea
Of quiet simplicity in all that related
to the wedding Lady Paget had the
ceremony take place in Warren house
instead OF her magnificent house in
BelgTave square. There was no brides
maid and no bridal reception. Only a
few intimate friends we're invited
These fortunate few had the privilege
Of inspecting the many costly presents
received by the bride, some of them
sent By the king and queen, the prin-
cess Of Wales, and other members OF
royalty and the nobility
Larry Paget's health and the brides
desire for a quiet wedding are given
as the reasons for the privacy Of the
affair The bride has been a frail
girl almost from birth and only a few
years ago she spent many weeks in
Arizona in an effort to recover her
health. OF late the improvement in
her condition has been most marked,
and those who attended the wedding
say she presented a beautiful picture
in her simple gown of white crepe de
chine She is tall and graceful and
has beautiful dark eyes which have
the fascinating knack of hiding be-
meath lowered eyelids. Her eyelashes
are long and dark. Her complexion is
brilliant.
At the same time. it must be admit
ted in all truth, that the daughter will
never rival her mother as a beauty.
Lady Paget. who is the daughter of
the late Paran Stevens. who made mil.
lions as a hotel proprietor in New
York, is not only a beauty but alto /.
gether a wonderful woman, daring. /
original. talented-a social success.
She inherited large fortune from her I
father and married Captain Arthur !
Paget. Of the Scots Guards. Her po- I
sition in English society was assured |
from the start. and she has always /
been prominent in the bazaars and .
other affairs got up for the British
Army.

Sleep and Old ACE.

There is no question that the guam
tity of sleep required steadily dimin-
ishes from infancy to old age. This
is a rather interesting exception to
the general rule that, as in so many
matters. old age returns to the
needs of infancy. AS regards sleep,
old age Is more remote in it's needs
from Snfancy than is any other pc.
riod of life. II elderly people oh.
tain good sleep during the first few
hours and If they have not lost that
delight in reading which we all had
in youth, but which so many of us
curiously lose. their case Is not to
be srieved over. The special value
of the earliest boGrs of sleep, by the
way, has been proved by psychologist
cal experiment. The popular phrase
beauty sleep Is well warranted 1t
is the early (the deepesD hours of
sleep that make for health and
beauty. III

the prison florist, will celebrate his
fiftieth anniversary as an inmate Of
the prison In December next.
Warren has just passed his seventh
eth birthday. Twice since he was
girl wife he has made a dash for lib
erty, 30 years apart, and both times
he failed. For ten years he has been
the model prisoner of the institution
and since he has had charge of the
grounds and greenhouses of the pris.
on he has never attempted to hreak
jail.
Warren was the son of a Yankee
farmer, Ziba Warren of Mansfield, and

had just passed her fifteenth birth.

two feet of water until she drowned.
There was another woman in the
case.
While awaiting trial in the Tolland
Jail he escaped and an investigation
resulted in the discharge of the Jail
er. For three months he lived in a
hole dug under his fathers barn. A
threat to burn him out made him sur.
render. For 80 years he was a model
prisoner. One night in August, 1856,
he was missing at rollcall. Three
days later loose plank In the floor
OF one of the new shops pointed the
way OF escape OF Warren. A passage
was found under the floor and this
led to an old airshaft, but no trace
of the missing prisoner was TO be
seen.
As the investigating party were
about to retrace their steps one of the
number stepped back, remarking
iHold the lantern away and I'll emp.
ty my six shooter into the SHAFT"
Hold on, don't shoot. III come
out" said weak voice in the dark
hole. For three days Warren had
lived In that shaft without water and
with only the little food that he had
stored In his pocket before his flight.
For the last few years Warren has
developed great love for his flowers.
lie knows all his plants and flowers

books on botany that the state prison
library affords. Occasionally he con
tributes little article to the Monthly
Record OF the prison, In which he tells
the other prisoners about his pet
flowers. His conduct as a model pris.
oner entities him 10 numerous priv
ileges.
Some months ago Warren hoped tc
get out on reaching his SEVENTEEN
birthday, but his petition to the board
of pardons was refused and he settled
down again, prepared to spend his last
days In the only home he has known
