the long hours OF his absence at the
home of her parents. Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles F. Ecker, who would not part
from her. but insisted that she and her
husband make their home for while
with them.
The manner of her meeting with
young Oracle was romantic in the ex-
treme. One day. seven months ago
after she had made visit to the Park
Presbyterian Chapel, where she is or
ganist, she said to her mother
Come down to the church with me,
mother. l have met the boy you said
you would give your fortune for me to
fancy"
Her mother went with her. Mabel
pointed out young Oracle, who was
then assisting his father to make re-
pairs on the church. The boy looked
up. and in confusion she fled to her
home. The next day they were intro
duced by the pastor, the Rev. Leonard
b. f. Mytton.
From that day until their marriage

Never did boy and girl love as these

wants to see YOU" he exclaimed. And,
Mabel, don't you think we might get
we might be married tonight?"
There was silence for moment and
then the slightest little chirrup, as If
very laugh, was the answer. There was
no word spoken, and Oracle knew 1t
meant "Yes."
| So the Rev. Leonard Mytton, pastor
of the chapel where she had officiated
at the organ for two years, was told
| that his services would be needed at
16 Highland avenue. and Aunt Julia
hastily Joined Mrs. Ecker in preparing
| for tha sudden wedding which WAS
solemnized that night.
This Is my honeymoon" said the
bride today. II could not wish for a
happier one, for Wallace Is the dearest
boy that ever lived, and we are both as
happy as we can be.

r CAPTURE NEAR
Detectives Say They Almost Had
Suspected Nephew of Woman
Slain in Jersey.

HACKENSACK, July 22.-August
Eberhard, accused of killing his aunt.
will be in custody within five hours. 1t
is declared by the police today. Last
night detectives followed a tangible
clue in New York, and 1t Is said missed
their man by few hours. Indicat ms
are that the hunt for the woman's
slayer will end soon.
Reports from Paterson to the effect
that Eberhard left that city yesterday
afternoon on the Erie at 1928 o'clock
are discreded, although policemen,
baggagemen and expressmen believe
that they observed the sought-after
grocer boy make a worried and hasty
exit for the West. Ottilie Eberhard,
daughter of the murdered woman, was
closeted today for several hours with
Prosecutor Koester and Chief of Police
Dunn.
She was compelled to tell her story
over and over again, but made no Sc
rious contradictions beyond the fact
that she now says that she had OBJ
served q reNOlNeT III tilo Hdilu VI bci
cousin after her mother had fallen NOR
tally wounded. She stoutly maintained
previous that she had seen no revolver
and the new statement may prove TO
be of the utmost Importance. The girl
appeared calm today, giving away to
traces of excitement only now and
then.
Following the clue last night in New
York. New Jersey officials went to the
Adelphi Hotel Twenty-third street and
Seventh avenue. Two lengths of rub
Der gas tubing were found In a room
Eberhard engaged for his kinswomen.
Chief Dunn believes that 1t was the
original plan of Eberhard to asphyxiate
mother and daughter and convey the
impression that they had committed
suicide.
Ottilie Eberhard. when questioned
said that "Gus" brought the things
there. 1t is believed that the suspected
asphyxiatlon plan failed because of the
watchfulness of the two women while
in their room. Then. 1t is believed,
Eberhard went to New Jersey, and got
the lay of the land, returning to New
York and proposing the fatal outing.
Eberhard's baggage is still In the
Adelphi Hotel
1t was ascertained today that the
wounds Ottilie Eberhard received ara
not serious and all danger of blood
poisoning has virtually passed. She is
staying in the Susquehanna Hotel here.

TIPS FOR GLOBE TROTTERS
Bits of Information About Hotels
In All Parts of the
World,

II can tell you come rather interesting
facts about hotels in many parts of the
world, as l have been a persistent globe
t%rotter for the last ten years. said NJ. j,
Marston of Brooklyn.
THE only country in which you will
never find a bad hotel is Switzerland. All
its hotels are excellent and sple/idly man
aged. In, travelling through Switzerland
one goes very frequently in carriages that
belong to the government and are under
state operation. These public conveyances
are styled the Extra Post The village

and the fare is not exorbltant, about the
same as hotel livery tariffs in the United
States.
In a town in Algeria that l spent a few
hours in once, the chef of the hotel was
also the mayor, and it is the only place
where one can get a decent meal, the
worthy mayor being a pretty fair cook.
In Constantinople I found a first-rate
hotel, but It was hard to get sleep on
account Of the noise OF the city's countless
dogs, Dogs are not to be molested IN the
Turkish capital, and the stranger who
goes there must make up his mind to be

places. They also afford splendid oppor-
tunities for stained glass effects. The oriel
window as commonly known is a bay win
dow In miniature with a sill four or five
feet from the floor. One of the principal
uses for oriel windows on a house is to
give it light and air from a side Of the
room which would not give a pleasant out
look. Small, high windows of the regular
kind serve the same purposes from a prac-
teal standpoint, but they are tell-tale. One
is always tempted to go up to them and
find out what 1t is outside that is objection
able. Oriel windows, on the other hand
give the appearance of being used simply
as ornamental features, but serve, at the
same time, more practical purposes.
The piano always appears to take up a
great deal of room, whether 1t is a grand
piano or an upright. To overcome this a
good plan is to place the piano in a large
bay window, making a projection OF the
bay from three to four feet, and the width
about nine feet. On the oblique sides build
full length sliding windows. Over the
piano place a stationary window with a
loaded or delicate stained glass design.
The effect is splendid. The same arrange
ment can be applied II desired to the side
board in the dining room, provided that
II WOULD not DrlnB Two pay WINDOWS on the
same side of a house, for this never looks
well. After locating the windows properly
they should be made beautiful in them
selves. 1t is upon this principle that the
artistic filling of windows with divided
lights is placed. Some division alone gives
pleasure, but due regard should be given
to the sizes and shapes through which the
light passes.
The difficulties of color radiations pre-
sents a subject too complicated and tech
nical for proper analysis in our brief space.
But a word of warning. A poor color eff
feet, even from a single window, will de-
stroy the otherwise homelike atmosphere
of a room; while a pleasing stained glass
design, throwing a halo Of colored light
throughout the room will often alter its
previous sombre aspect and make it look
beautiful indeed.

Doors and Windows

Few people appreciate the value of first

can" and wonder why they fail. No
where do we receive impressions more
lasting than those received upon enter
ing a house for the first time. well
begun is half DONE" may be straining the
point, but a good beginning certainly
goes far toward accomplishing the pur-
pose or acquiring the object in view,
which in this instance is a good impress
sion. The beginning for a good impress
sion In a home is the entrance. If the i'm
preston here is good, il will go d long
way toward making one overlook a lack
of paintings on the wall, fine furniture
in the parlor and other unessential but
welcome luxuries.
The front door or entrance is, so to
speak,, a part of the interior adjoining the
exterior of the house. 1t should stand
out as a mark of welcome to the passerby
and be an indication of cordial hospitality
within. The entrance is a key to the in
terror, an index of what is to come, where
one receives his first Impressions, be they
good or bad. Keeping out thieves and
weather, 1t should also invite friends. The
front entrance being the principal means of
ingress and egress, should be made to feel

the size and design Of his home and the
size of his pocketbook. Thus, while we
might allow that a ~six-foot six-inch door
would look all right in a layman's cottage,
we would not tolerate it in a p~alatIal
home; here the door must be eight feet or
more to be in good proportion to the
straightforward dignity and tall silk hat
on the owner.
The design OF the entrance should be
distinctly in the general style used for the
entire house. Many an otherwise beautiful
home has lost some OF its attractiveness
through having an appropriately designed
entrance. For example, it would never do
TO put a Gothic entrance on a Colonial
house. Yet this very thing has been done.
A beautiful design for a Colonial house is
a so-called Venetian type. 1t consists of a
broad door with side lights and an %eliptical
transom over all. 1t gives a cheerful aspect
to a house. Has a broad open face well
come and admits an abundance of light to
the hall. Let me lay special emphasis on
this point OF keeping all things in har-
mony. II the style adopted could be car
ried out in the furnishings of the house
so much the better, but at least keep the
house itself exclusively in one style. II

conditions:
"Th farmer has come into his own in

vast area Of cheap lands open to settlement.
and the rapid Increase in farm acreage,
held the remuneration of the farmer down
to bare wages for unremitting toll. But
in recent years the worlds population has

available lands are occupied and the new
supplies are grown at higher cost. As a
result, the farmer who Is the fortunate
