evening between s and 8 o'clock and
Miss n. K. Morrsey was so afraid OF
the shadowy forms that she telephoned
to the police station asking that an
officer come and drive the wierdly
spectres away.
Patrolman Palmer arrived immedi-
ately from the Second station at Smith
and Marshall streets, but was unable
to locate the ghosts or 40 find any
footprints upon the sands" He re-
ported to Captain Epps. his superior
officer that no ghost was near.
Before the policeman came TO the
house Miss Morrisey had tried to
shoot the ghostly figures with a rifle.
She was much excited when the blue
coat responded 10 her summons and
was positive that the unearthly figures
were in the rear yard of her home at
the time
Thinking that burglars had made an
attempt TO enter the house, Policeman
Palmer silently crept through an alley
and made an investigation. All was
darkness. II some unearthly object,
described by Miss Morrisey. came
TO pay n visit, no clue was left as
to hove he she or 1t departed.
Upon the police biotter there IS reg
istered a peculiar case Ghosts scar

COMFORT ON THE vERANDA |
Furnishings That Are just Now High
In Favor With the Leading X
Decorators.

For the ideal, veranda the decora-
tors are now recommending Windsor
chairs. armchairs and settees and
French fibre rugs, which come In
brown and green in very charming
colorings.
The Windsor chairs are to be had in
the original at very moderate prices
considering their age and in very good
reproductions at even more reasonable
rates. The French fibre rugs which
have proved so very satisfactory for
veranda use are made from grape vine
fibre by the French peasants They
are very durable. There are also the
Celtic rugs, which come from Scot
land and are in a variety of colors,
most Of which are decidedly vivid.
The veranda tea table which is sup
posed to harmonic most admirably
with the Windsor chairs is the Jac6s
bean round table. which. although very
expensive in the antique. is to be
found in creditable reproductions.
Then for the lighting of this quantity
furnished veranda there are wonderful
lanterns of frosted glass and brass.
These In the original are rare and
correspondingly expensive. some Of
them costing several hundred dollars
apiece. There are, of course, many
varieties of lanterns which even
among the genuinely old are quite
inexpensive.
