Every woman has realized for some
time past that the use OF the candle
as table decoration was attended by
danger and other shortcomings and a
substitute has been eagerly sought
The solution Of the problem has not
been found in electricity, for the rea-
son that lamps Of this character lack

use also required the presence OF
wires piercing the cloths and tables.

The Rescue

The children could never tell Just
how It happened, except that there
was a splash and one Of the little boys
was missing from the float. In terror
they watched the widening circles on
the water. but he did not come to tine
surface. Then a distinct humping tn
der the float at their feet sent them
screaming from the spot. All save
one. A small. fair-haired girl, with a
white, determined face remained.
Throwing herself nat upon her stom'
ach, she wound one arm firmly abodt
an upright Of the slight railing. and
thrust the other into the green water
as far under the float as she was able.
Again she heard the terrifying bump
against the tirnbers, and she grabbed
frantically underneath the float in the
direction OF the sound, but with no re-
suits. In an agony Of suspense she
waited for him to rise the third time,
then her small hand grasped the hair
Of the drowning child. drew him odt
into the open and held his head above
water till help came in response 10 her
shrieks.

Four weeks ago the young artist
sailed for Paris, where he and the
Prince d'AbrO became on the friendli-
est of terms
Suddenly the Armenian disappeared
without telling his bosom friend Of his
intended departure or of his destination
and after inquiry those who knew him
learned he was on the Luistania.
Then, 1T is said, the wires from the
CIeWS studio to the French line dock
in Harve were kept busy and the

when she was % years old. Their life
was not happy one, and in 1901 he
obtained a divorce at Sioux Falls, S. D.
She waived alimOny and Gerhard deed
ed to her a house in Seventy ninth
street.
A month later she was married to
young Clews. They have two children.
In due time Mr. and Mrs. Clews set

There 1t developed that her social tenn

He shocked her, she complained, by
suddenly appearing at her parties and

she had a real good cry.

Early in February, 1908, Mrs Clews
stirred Baltimore society by giving a

In silk bathing costume. Several of
the men duCked Mrs. Parr in a bathtub,
