GOLD MESH BAG STOLEN
DURING CHURCH SERVICE

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Miss Dorothy
Fisk, daughter of Pliny Fisk, of this
city and Plainfeld, N. j., and niece
of Harvey e. Fisk, was robbed of a
gold mesh bag worth $500 in ST. Bar
tholomew's Church on Sunday. Miss
Fisk, who is spending the winter in
town with her parents, Is a member
of Plainfield church. Her family
has no pew in st. Bartholomew and
she found a place on Sunday in the
last pew.
When she left the pew to partake
of communion she tucked her bag
into a muff, which she put on the
seat and covered with her coat. She
returned a few moments later and
observed that coat and muff APP
parently were just as she left them.
She did not discover her loss until
she left the church and, reaching the
sidewalk, thrust her hand into her
muff.

Miss Day brought over her bridal
costume for my inspection. So old
was it that all the inside was covered
with silk to hold it together On the
back was a dragon embroidered in
gold thread, showing that the bride
who originally wore it was a Chinese
woman of rank
The embroidery was exquisite.
Bats, storks and butterflies were
worked in with wonderful regard for
detail and coloring And in one place

glyphics of the early Egyptians, in
the embroideries of the Oriental
races, and the carvings of the early
Greeks.

Fascinating, isn't it," commented
Miss Day. Then she showed me the
bridal headdress, truly a marvellous

A woman wears her bridal array
but once, after which 1t is hung upon
the wall. The garments are treas

Jacket" has been so enriched.
Miss Day and Miss Walker get along

Maybe it's because we never con-

room for jealousy. But we wouldn't
be, anyway" To which Miss Walker
nodded her chubby countenance in
solemn agreement.

START SUBSCRIPTION TO
BUY MRS. TAFT A GIFT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Society
women and friends of Mrs. Taft to-
day began quietly the circulation of
a subscription list for funds with
which to purchase a farewell gift for
the Presidents wife. Miss Mabel
Boardman, Mrs. Richard Townsend
and several other women prominent
in the social and official life of the
capital have the matter in charge.
The gift probably will take the
form of diamonds, likely strung into
a necklace. A gift similar to this was
presented to Mrs. Roosevelt by her
women friends when she left the
White House four years ago.
