Marble Windows.

Remarkably beautiful effects are Sc
cured by the use of marble as a
means of transmitting light instead Of
glass. This has been accomplished
by a new process which has been de-
Yised by an engineer of Hamburg, w
Engle. He has succeeded in making
plates of marble no more than three
millimeters in thickness and for the
use designated 1t is available up to
20 millimeters thick The suitability
of marble for this purpose was real
lied some time ago, but the difficulty
encountered was that of Securing the
marble in slabs Of sufficient thinness.
These plates permit of the passage of
a greater amount of light than frosted
glass does, and at the same time i'm
parts to the rays a much pleasanter
color. Most opal glass imparts to the
light an undesirable greenish tinge,
while the light which passes through
the marble has a reddish violet which
is much pleasanter. After the marble
has been ground down to the desired
thickness 1t is subjected to an INNER
sion in oil under high pressure, and
the effects secured In this manner are
said the superior to those Of stained
glass.

Dear Friend:
Received your letter last month and
was glad to hear that everything is go
Ing we'll with you. Thank you for the
picture. see you're just as handsome
as ever. If you wear those clothes all
the time, though, your laundry bills
must be something fierce. Both Mar
tin and l are glad you're doing so fine
in business way. knew you would,
once you settled down-gEess the jolt
helped you But l am most pleased to
hear that your sister is beginning to
get kinder in her feelings to me- Lord
knows everything did was for the
best. Am also glad to hear that her
health is good and she is getting stout.
bet she's as handsome as a picture,
now she hasn't anything on her mind
In regard to certain event three
years ago, would say that it's all
bowed over. Marty still drops in at
headquarters a good deal, and had
him look it up. He says 1t would be
perfectly safe for certain party to go
back TO Port of Spain, though he
wouldn't advise visiting this land of
the free and the home of the brave for
quite some time. Not that he expects
anything would happen-but it's best
to be ON the safe side.
Well, Martin and / are getting on
fine. He comes UP for reelection in
Novem3er-fact is we're campaigning
now--and it looks like sure thing.
Martin still thinks Pm the smartest
and prettiest in the world, and take
care that he won't get on to me--but
oh, my dear, my massage bills are
something fierce!
Now as regards friends of yours and
mine, I'll tell you all the news I've got.
Do you remember that Miss Harding
in the boarding house? She's Martyrs
stenographer now, and mighty good
one. We're so afraid she'll get mar
ried sometime, and Marty will lose
her. Miss Jones is married-lives
somewhere up Yonkers way. Mrs
Moore has gone over to Jersey to keep
house for an old uncle. Guess she ex-
poets some money from him when he
dies.
Betsy Barbara and Mr.. North live in
a little house on Long Island, and Mr..
North commutes. He's making so
much money he says he's ashamed of
1t. They have twin boys, and if ever
| saw Iimbs-well, Betsy-Barbara is on
the jump all the time keeping them
from committing fifty-seven varieties
of murder and suicide they've thought
out for themselves. Martin says he's
glad he's given up his old job, for 1t
certainly would be up to him to get
them both life" some day. But no
tice he's ready to go over there every
time we're invited, and he spends the
whole time playing with those young
sters.
The Wades are still abroad. Their
little daughter was born in Florence.
