Young Lady Visitor to South America
Changed Her Blonde Locks to a
Brilliant Red.

A young woman ran down the
gangway Of the ship just in from
South American ports, and flung her
arms about the neck of man who
had been waving to her.
Gracious, Natalie!s he cried
what's the matter with your hair?
It's red, and it was blonde when you
went away"
"Oh," smiled the young woman,
that's the result Of shampoo from
the water of a little lake in lea, Peru. /"
She told that during a recent visit
to lea she had found that the Indians
there had their hair tinted every i'm.
aginable color. She learned that they
dyed their hair with the waters Of
several small lakes in lea, all Of which
contained water of different colors.

the reddish water, named Huacachina

ASIOR'S BRIDE A
CAP ABLE YOUNG
WOMAN
ACCORDING TO ALL REPORTS
SHE CAN DRIVE A MOTOR
AND RIDE A HORSE

New York, April 28.-JIpon q tall,
fair haired girl of 20 years, raised in
the country and loving it, knowing
little of society but destined to know
much more, the eyes of the fashion
able world are centered just now.
She is Miss Helen Dinsmore Hunt
ington, who this week is to become
the bride Of Vincent Astor, the head
OF the Astor family in America and
the master OF fortune of nearly
$1OO, 100000.
The bride-to-be Of Mr. Astor pre-
sents a new perfection in type Of the
American society girl, having enjoy
ed the advantages Of having been
born and brought up on country es-
tate, as do the girls OF the best Eng
lish families. From childhood Miss
Huntington has led an outof-door
life. At 16 she was sent to pri-
vate school at Dobb's Ferry, not a
great way from her home on the
Hudson. After the first winter at
school came instructive tours of Eu-
rope with her parents, two winter
seasons in this city, where the fam
lily lived at the Ritz-Carleton hotel,
and sojourns at the country homes
of friends and relatives during the
summer, spring or autumn.
Miss Huntington came from
sturdy and athletic stock, and show
ed it as soon as she was able to rum
about. Her father, who was gradu-
ated from Yale in 1861, was tennis
champion of his university, and be-
fore she was ten years old Miss
Huntington began to take an inter
est in the tennis courts. She also.
like most other girls brought up at
country homes, became proficient in
swimming while scarcely more than
child, and before she went away
to the finishing school she was able
to sail sloop and to operate any
motor craft, whether slow or swift
Since then she has on several coca
sions held the steering wheel Of ono

and a great commotion caused. The
news soon spread abroad that the
people who lived near stone Bridge
which spans the water between Tiver-
ton and Newport, had seen a great
ball of dull red fire shoot across the
sky in the direction of the river, not
very far from the bridge. One gen
tleman Of excellent reputation declar-
ed that ne saw it plainly, and that
the shock was so great when it struck
the water that he was thrown to the
ground and stunned. This evidence
was readily accepted, and the fame OF
Tiverton's meteor spread rapidly
Great regret was expressed that there
was no hope Of rescuing it from its
grave in 80 feet of water.
shortly, however, three fishermen
who lived nearby showed great inter
est in the possibility Of bringing it
to the surface. They ascertained the To-
cation where the fireball was sup
posed to have gone down, and soon
after went out very early one morn
ing in quest Of it. We may imagine
the Joy and surprise Of the Tiverton
people when the three men returned
in the afternoon with great dark
mass-the lost meteorl How they
got itinto the net, how It nearly drag
ged them into the water, and how
they cracked it by dropping it on the
dock, proved such a interesting story
that the trio had to go over it again
and again. A dense throng soon ap-
peared to view the visitant from the
skies. Offers. were received by the
lucky men from many quarters, which
they repeated with pride. Soon they
began to charge ten cents a peep,
and the writer duly offered his dime
The stone certainly looked like Wis
itor from other worlds. It was
smooth and shiny, heavy as lead, but
brittle and scanned showing crystal
formations in the seams. The throng
came with its dimes; the Associated
Press sent representatives. and news
paper men, enough to start a war,
were soon on the scene.
Finally, the happy owners removed
the meteorite to Fall River, where, in
a store, it again drew a large crowd
at a dime each. Just as they were
planning to take it to the Broc1ton
fair, scholar of note appeared and
gave the half-round solid mass an
examination. He was familiar with
the country rouns about the spoi
