when the police stopped about fifty
children and their parents, wives of the
strikers, from boarding a train that
was to take the children to Philadel-

riot followed.
Attorney General Wickersham asked
Mr.. French to ascertain if the Lawrence

that If these persons bought their tick

pledge themselves not to marry a man
who made less than $4,000 a year.
Briefly stated, the answer was: Let
father pay the $4,000
Resolutions wered rawn up setting
forth that it was agreed that it was
impossible to meet the demands of the
average wife on an income less than
the figures manner and placing the

position regarding it:
This club demands that in cases
where parents have trained their girls
to need $4,000 a year on which to live,
the parents be required to pay the
amount to their son-in-law, who mar
rying the girl, must shoulder the con-
sequences of such training"

Flat rosettes and velvet roses, and
life-like roses of ribbon, more wonder
fully well made than ever, are the fad
of the hour. . With small, compact
nosegays made of ribbon or millinery
flowers, they divide honors in milady's
favor. For furnishing separate girdles
fiat ribbon rosettes are used. The
corsage rose is fastened just above
the waist line and it is a superb touch
to the dinner or evening toilet. The
exquisite little nosegays bloom on all
sorts of dress and are liked for the
tailor-made coat with it's dainty finish
of white plaitings at the collar and
sleeves. Two American Beauty roses
are shown here made of satin ribbon.

CORDELE MAN LONG SUPPOSED
TO BE DEAD RETURNS

Cordele. Ga, Dec. 17.-After being
supposedly dead for two years by his
relatives, Herbert Mercer, after wan
dering from place to place throughout
the country for that length of time,
Unexpectedly showed uD in Cordele
this morning. His wife here had re-
ceived telegram from a supposed
friend of Mercer at Augusta, that her
husband had been killed there in Il
fight over a gambling debt, and that
before any of his relatives could be
located the body had become so badly
decomposed that it was necessary to
bury it there
This telegram, it now develops, was
probably written by Mercer himself
signing a fictitions name. 1t was done
to suit his own purposes, since he left
Cordele while under a bond of $500 in
a case in superior court in which he
was charged with selling liquor. The
city council found Mercer guilty in
the same case and Mayor Doris fined
him 500 and bound him over.
Not a word has been heard frdn
Mercer since the day that the telegram
was sent to his wife here. though y
report was heard that he had joinet
the army in Atlanta. 1t is reported
that Mrs. Mercer put on mourning,
thinking her husband certainly dead.
