Rosalind's
Choice
She Could Not Be
Bought.
BY cLARIssA MAcKIE

The station platform was crowded
with people waiting for the gates TO
open to admit them to the Boston ex-
press waiting down there on he tracks.
Rosalind Mereton. with a devoted
cavalier on either side of her graceful
little velvet clad form. caught a
glimpse of her reflection in the narrow
mirror of a slot machine. and the tired
look vanished from her lustrous hazel
eyes,. Rosalind in a tip tilted little hat
with a velvet strap under her round
white chin. with a pink rose tucked
under the brim, where two little brown
curls dangled coquettishly, was an en-
chanting sight even to herself.
With a pale youth at either elbow
Rosalind was safely piloted through
the crowd and reluctantly released at
the gate. through which she passed
with a farewell smile that included
them both. Dearly as they believed
they loved the pretty little actress.
there was no jealousy between them.
because they had a common ground OF
fellowship-they were both acutely
jealous of a third young man. Hanford

of. violets and orchids nestled In the
lace frills of Rosalind's coat.

Rosalind had been born. She was 60

stock company OF which she was a
member was undergoing the throes of
reorganization before going out on the
road, and there was something that
Rosalind wanted to think over In the
quiet of the country.

Spring Table.
The Dresden effect In flowers may
be used successfully for a table decora-
ton. Start with a large glass basket
for a centerpiece, filling it with wet
sand to stick the flowers In and COM
bining all the dainty and beautiful
colored flowers one can think Of
sweet peas, baby primulas, the dainty
schizanthus or poor mans orchid, for
getmenots, pansies, lily of the valley
and white and yellow daisies.
Then place on the handle a miniature
Flora holding In her hands green and
white ribbons attached to the favors
of the guests. Around the centerpiece
should be used eight small glass vases
filed with just a few artistically ar
ranged flowers similar to the mes
used In the center vase
Four candlesticks with white or
green shades to suit the taste of the
hostess should be placed at the four
corners of the table. while the favors
should be miniature glass baskets.
These can be also filed with wet sand
and daintily filled with the baby prim-
ulas, forgetmenots and lilies of the
valley.
A butterfly or two a be placed on
the large basket of flowers as If hav-
ing just lit to sip ONE honey. and a
little butterfly can also be placed on
the handle of each small basket.
This makes a beautiful table and
one that has been tried and found to
be dainty and effective enough to
please the most artistic taste.

DISCARDED GLOVES.
Old Kid Ones May Be Made Up Into
Many Novelties.

Many Novelties.
Many useful novelties may be made
with discarded kid gloves.
Let us first see how we can utilize
the long white gloves of suede or kid
which fashion DEGREES and whose life
as a glove is so short. We shall sup
pose the gloves have been cleaned sew
eral times so that the fingers have be-
come rubbed and spoiled for wear. Cut
these Off; now remove the buttons, slit
the arm part IL necessary and lay 1t
fat on an ironing board and thorough
ly clean with benzine or gasoline. Next
cut a long strip of the kid about n
and a half inches wide, fold into three,
joining the edges with a thick en-
broidery thread In any desired fancy
stitch. Then cut two more pieces OF
the material about three inches by n
inch; embroidcr each end with French
knots and fashion into a bow. Sew
this to the center Of the prepared strip.
which should be finished off with a
hook and latch at either end, and you
have a very dainty and uncommon
necktie.
The same idea may be elaborated.
and a charming belt is the result If a
long evening glove be used. In this
instance the kid should be doubled and
neatly stitched all round after being
prettily embroidered along n side. A
buckle is her attached to one end and
eyelet holes punched and b~uttonholed
to receive 1t.
Hatpins after the same fashion are
charming, and both are made in this
way. Get some wooden button molds
the size you require. Next sew your
design ON to the kid. cut this cut in a
sufficiently large round to cover both
front and back of the button. Now
stretch this round tightly v e the mold
and sew securely at the back. in the
case of the hatpins being particular to
finish Off all ends very neatly.

WHEN BUYING CHINA.

Don't buy futed jugs with mar
row mouths. 1t is impossible to
clean them properly.
Don't buy a gilt edged tea set.
The gilt soon washes off Ii any
soda is added to the washing up
water.
Don't buy any china which
you cannot match at any time.
Don't buy teapots whose lids
drop off when they are tipped up.
Don't buy fruit and jam dishes
with hills and valleys all over
them. 1t is impossible to keep
them clean without a LOT Of
trouble.
Don't buy flower vases which
topple over owing to their arrow
bases. Choose those with firm.

AN INTERESTING ROMANCE

AN iNlEkE0IINU kUWhNUE
Students of bookkeeping in the pub
lie schools and business schools of
twenty years ago will recall references
to the firm Of Lord & Taylor. Whether
you do or not the following, written by
William G. Hudson in the Brooklyn
Eagle, will prove to be most interest
Ing:
The morning papers of Manhattan
recently tell of the sale of the property
formerly occupied by Lord & Taylor,
on the corner of Broadway and Twen-
tieth street. The sum for which it was
sold is not given, but 1t is guessed at
as being greater than the assessed val
uation of last year, which was $277, 900.
1t appears that the records show that
only so far back as 1912 this same pro-
perry was sold for So, 600 to Henry
Badeau, who used the small building
on it as a grocery store. This land has
never passed from the hands Of the
Badeau heirs until row. 1t was held
by the firm of Lord q Taylor under
the lease, and 1t erected the building
on 1t In which for so many years
before that firm went into Fifth ave-
nue., 1t did business. When the ground
lease terminated, and the firm did not
retain the place, the building the firm
had erected went with the ground. If
the Badeau heirs were not rich until
this sale was made, they are now, and
have become SO by holding on to the
property for seventy-two years. This
is one Of the omance of real estate.
There is v e a greater romance in
the history of the firm of Lord & Tay-
Tor, though l greatly doubt whether
there is connected with the firm a per-
son of The name OF the firm participat-
ing. Some eighty years ago or more,
indeed, there was a machinist of the
name of Samuel Lord, who was en-
ployed in the works of a wealthy foun-
dryman in England, near Manchester.
This Samuel Lord had the ~audacity to
lift his. eyes to a daughter of the foun-
dryman, and, indeed, found favor in
her eyes. But his suit was denied by
the father of the girl, and so the pair
slipped away and were married. There
was a row., and the stern parent,
throwing the man Lord out of his m
ploy, said to his daughter that If she
would agree never to see her husband
again there was q good home for her
in his house, but If she would not so
agree, che could go with her husband,
and he would have nothing o to do
with her. About this time there ap-
peared an EDglishman, who had emf
grated from England to the United
States, of the name of James Wilde,
and who bad established q factory for
the manufacture Of broadcloths and
shawls, and was in want Of a ma
chinist to take care Of the machinery
he had bought in England and shipped
to his factory in Bloomfield, N. ]. He
offered the place to the discharged ma
chinist, Samuel Lord. 1t was accep-
ted, but not until after Lord had ar
ranged with his wife that she was to
go to her father until be could, In
America, earn sufficient money to send
for her to come to him. This he did,
and when she left England she broke
with her father entirely. This Samuel
Lord was the founder of she house of
Lord & Taylor.

CLAIMS INDIAN AVENGED
DEATH OF HIS SISTER

The Carson News says: "An eye
for an eye and a troth fer a tooth"
appears tn be the present status of
the brutal assault on the Portuguese
miner, Jue Matthias. by the Indian
boy, who is at present in the Yer.
ington jail. This brutal murderer,
for it is believed that his victim
cannot recover, seems to be enjoy
ing the Jail life and puts in his days
singing and enjoying himself and
gives no thought to the future.
Tuesday an older brother of the
murderer visited this city, coming
from Virginia City, where he was
hanging aro.Id for a short time.
On Tuesday evening an Indian in
formed a white friend that the
brother of the murderer stated
that if anything was done to his
brother ne would kill a white man
to get even. .
Authorities On Indian matters
state that the assault on the Portu-
Rese vas simply an act of revenge
of the young Indian for the death
of hi: sister, who bad been arrested
in Yerington a few months ago and
hanged herself in her cell. The
death Of this Indian girl was laid
IT the door of the whites and the
y5ung Indian now in the Yerington
Jail believes he has avenged her
death and is consequently happy
and clntentei.

A SUSPICIOUS DEATH

A Carson dispatch of the End to
the Virginia Chronicle says:
Mrs. Abbie Cowing, a resident of
this city for a number of years,
passed away under suspicious cir
cumstances this morning at the
Blackwell ranch situated about two
miles northeast of Carson City. 1t
is said that she made a dying state
mcnt tu Mr.. Blackwell in which she
accused certain parties Of giving
her a bntt)e OF medicine, with the
req rest that ,he place the contents
in Blackwells coffee, she being
promised, it is alleged, a sum Of
money should she do as rcqu. S trd.
Mrs. Cowing had been taking care
Of the household duties of the
ranch for several moRths, Mrs.
Blackwell having passed awsy. The
circumstances Of the affair, which
are meager at this writing, are to
the effect that BLACKWELL came into
the house and found Mrs. Cowing
in pain. He placed her upon a
lounge and sent horseman for a
doctor, but the latter was unable
to get there before her death, and
her alleged dying statement was
made to Blackwell. 1t Is also rum
ored toat Mrs. Cowing was alleg-
ed to have feared to place the con-
coction in the coffee, and made up
her mind to take a small part to
see what the effect would be. The
stomach of the deceased and the
unlabeled bottle with it's contents
will be sent to a San Francisco
chemist this evening for an anal
ysis. The coroner's inquiry has

in getting 80 Of them to continue

driven to the hot water pool and
held there during the day. After

flour, coffee, bacon, etc., to feed
the worthless scamps. They will

less lot. 1t is shame that people
who work should be compelled to
feed them and thus encourage
them to prey upon others. The

easiest and cheapest way to get rid
Of them, but even that CRATES

NEW CURE FOR LEAD POISON

The frequency and seriousness of
lead poisoning in the mining and
dry milling ores containing oxi-
died lead minerals makes pertinent
mention of any progress reported
in the cure or pslliation Of this i'll.
OF particular interest from its I'M
usual nature. is q treatment report
ed to have been recently called to
the attention Of the Royal Institute
of Public Health in London. A
working man suffering from lead
poisoning was placed in an electro
lytic bath and electrolyzed. 1t is
stated that, after three or four
baths, the morbid symptoms disap-
pea:ed while lead was found in the
water and on the electrode. If the
method proves successful in general
application, lead-ore miners and
mill employees, as well as painters
and other workmen who run the
risk of lead poisoning will feel re-
lieved that the terror of their en-
ployment has been removed.-Min-
