Special from United PreSS.)
 South Norwalk, Aug. 30.-A launch party of 13 who had been missing since yesterday and concerning whose safety there was considerable anxiety, was located today at noon in the harbor at Stamford by a cruising party who had been searching since early today. The party started for Northport, L. l., yesterday and reached their destina- ton all right, but on the return trip the engine became disabled and they were compelled to put in at Stamford The severe storm which sprang up in the afternoon caused a lot of fear for their safety.
 The storm yesterday while of short duration was unusually severe, and overturned a number of boats in the harbor. A sailboat containing a fish ing party of five, all men, was over turned as it was making for shelter and its occupants were thrown into the water The rainfall was so heavy that their dangerous position was not discovered until two hours later when lowed ashore in the tender by a launch. During this time they were singing to the overturned boat. They lost their money and watches.
 During the storm yesterday a light ming bolt ran down the chimney of Main street, wrecked the stovepipe and did considerable damage to the stove. A number of customers received slight shocks and several windows were broken.
 While the Sweeney family were eat ing dinner at their home on Lincoln street a bolt of lightning went through the side of the house, knocking the plaster down and the plates off the pantry shelf.

BRIDGEPORT GIRLS
 LOST IN WILDS
Four of Them Wander for Hours in Whitney-Game Preserve on October Mountain. Near IenOx

Lenox, Mass, Aug. SO.-Lost in the wilds of Harry Payne Whitney's game preserve on October Mountain, four Bridgeport. Conn.,, girls, the Misses Mary Murray, Margaret Lynch, Grace and Mary O'Connel, wandered aim lessly all Saturday through the for est to Beckett and back twenty miles, and emerged just at nightfall from the woods near the house of Frank M Chapel, the game keeper, who carried them two miles back to their camp.
 They started to walk from the Lau- rel Lake House, in Lee, to the Octo- Der Mountain cottage of Mrs. P. J. Huban, of Lenox, who is entertaining Mrs. Frederick Bennett, of New York, a novelist. By mistake they took an abandoned wood road and were near ly exhausted when they saw the chap el light, which saved them from a night out of doors.

tfon any, for as the young couple soon perceived, the lightning had ripped a seam in the boat three inches wide, from stem to stern and that besides there were three ugly jagged holes in the bottom of the craft through which the water was pouring. In a. few seconds the boat would fill and sink. s MT. Warrington is a good swimmer and he told Miss Wilson td jump and he followed The boat sank before yards they swam, Warrington giving the young lady as much assistance as possible. When they were almost eX- hausted because of the strong current that was running they were overjoyed to find they were over a sand bar using this they were able to wade ashore at Charles Island.
 Here they secured a boat and were taken to Fort Trumbull beach. Miss Wilson kept up her courage until she reached the cottage when she suc- cumbed to the intense strain upon her nerves and the realization of the close call they had.
 Without the rubber coat and hat there is little doubt that leaning against the cable supporting the mast would have been sure death for Miss Wilson when the bolt hit the boat

 A peculiar freak of the lightning af- ter striking the boat was to cause the holes as though drawn by a giant magnet.

Women to Fight tuberculosis

One million women, representing
cities, towns, villages and isolated
rural settlements in every section of
the country, are to-day enlisted in a
campaign against tuberculosis, accord
ing to statement issued by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis. In legis-
latures, in congress at Washington, in
society gatherings, in churches and
clubs, through speaking and writing
in every possible way, the women Of
the country are persistently fighting
consumption.
With an organization established in
every state of the country, under the
direction of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, and with associated
clubs in Alaska, the Hawaiian islands,
Porto Rico and the canal zone, the
women of the country have entered a
systematic crusade to carry the mes
sage of the prevention and cure of
tuberculosis into every American
home.

ONE THING THAT WAS CERTAIN

In an emergency the manufacturer
OF Limburger cheese was forced to
use strategy with shipment. Ordi-

cars, but in this instance no car was
available and the order must be filed
Two hundred pounds of the fragrant
comestible was put in a rough, OBJ
long box, and taken to the railroad
baggageroom. Then the manufacture
er bought ticket for himself and the
box, and entered the train. At the
first stop he went ahead to the bag
gage car to see that there was no
trouble. He stood by the box in
disconsolate attitude and shaded his
eyes with his hand. The baggageman
was sympathetic. "a relative?" he
asked. YES" answered the manu-
facturer, "it is my brother" "Well,"
said the railroad man, philosophically,

ward to not only by the participants
in the pretty pageant, but by the
grown-ups who were asked to view the
scene from the broad piazzas.
The invitations, which were issued
two weeks in advance, requested the
guests to come costumed as the flower
designated. These notes were written
in gold ink on pale pink paper. tied to
pink rosebud; they were delivered
from rose trimmed basket.
The girls came as roses in all varie-
ties. Then there were lily of the val
ley, violet, tiger lily, daisy, pansy,
black-eyed Susan, etc. The boys were
sunfowers, bachelors buttons. tulips.
red carnation and chrysanthemums
and nasturtiums. Jack-in the-Pulpit
and Johnny Jump-Up were also repre-
sented. Crepe tissue paper and cheap
gauzes, tinsels and cambrics entered
largely into the construction of the
costumes worn.
Soap bubbles occupied the first part
of the afternoon, the tennis court be-
ing the place selected for the contest.
The girls blew the bubbles and the
boys famed them over the net; the
opposite side tried to keep the bubbles
from going over. The side getting ten
bubbles over the first won a prize.
Then things were reversed, and the
boys blew and the girls famed. ely

poonsful to a pint of water was used
for blowing the bubbles and the pipes
had rim of soap around them inside
the bowl which causes the fairy balls

this contest, consisting of flower

violets and rose petals.

festooned; the roof was made by criss.

vines. The roses were suspended by
line wire. The effect was excellent.
Making the roses had furnished the
children of the house pleasant occupa
ton for more than one rainy SPRING
day; having helped in the prepare
tons, they were most keenly inter
ested in the success of the party.
The refreshments consisted OF
minced chicken sandwiches, lemonade
sugar waters, strawberry ice cream
and huge birthday cake wreathed in
pink roses. Pink rose holders held the
candles and each child had a wee pink
iced cake with a wee pink candle in
front OF his place to take home.

omens Of the Wedding Day.

June-the month allotted to brides
and roses-is probably the most popu-
lar season of the year, as it brings to
many the fulfillment of hearts desires.
1t Is said-by whom no one seems to
know-that If the day chosen by a
girl for her wedding proves to be
rainy that her life will be filled with
more sorrow than joy. Be that as it
may, one OF the very happiest of mar
Tfages was made on Friday, on the
18th day Of the month and at the hour
set for the ceremony there was most
terrific thunderstorm. In spite of the
fact that for years Saturday was con-
sidered the most unlucky of wedding
days, OF late it has been chosen by
brides of even international fame.
If the carriage containing a bride
should meet a funeral procession the
driver must be instructed to turn some
other way. If he does not, fate de-
crees that the bride will soon die.
To avoid the possibility of any bad
luck on her wedding day, the bride
elect should not offer to assist in
washing or wiping the family dishes,
for If by chance she should happen
to break bit of china it would be an
exceedingly evil omen-the old record
does not say what, but it would be
prudent not to tempt fate.
Gray is the color a bride should
choose for her going-away gown if she
wishes to wear what for ages has been
considered the proper thing to insure
good luck. Perhaps that is the reason
that there is always steady demand
for this color.
Some one gets hold of these old
superstitions and customs, and the pub
lie thinks it is acquiring something
new just because they are so old that
every one has fogotten all about them.
When the cake known as the
"groom's cake" is passed at a wedding
supper the girl who gets the longest
piece will be the first one to marry.
Maidens who are anxious to leave the
state of single blessedness should
consult the head waiter and see that
some bits Of cake are cut longer than
the others.
Fate was certainly kind when she
decreed that for a bride to shed tears
on her wedding was a good omen, for
1t would take a pretty stoical young
woman to go through breaking home
ties without a few tears, no matter
how alluring the prospect of the new
life.
Snow falling on a wedding day
augurs well for the happy couple, be-
ing a prophecy of great happiness.
For girls who have been asked to
set the day it might be we'll to re-
member that June 8, II, 10 and 81 are
considered by the fates to be especial
ly propitious on which to have the
knot tied.
