WAS HER LONG.L0sT LOVER
Strange Reunion Of Pair Whom
Death Had Separated Sixty
Years Before.

A number Of years ago some miners
In Wales, in exploring an old disused
pit. found the body of a young man
dressed in fashion long out of date.
The peculiar action of the air Of the
mine was such as preserved the body
so perfectly that it appeared asleep
rather than dead
The miners were puzzled at the cir
cumstances. No one in the district
had been missed within their remem-
brance, and at last 1t was resolved to
bring the body to the oldest inhabit-
ant-an old lady over eighty years
old. who had lived single in the vii
lage all her life.
When she was taken into the room
where the dead man lay, strange
thing occurred. The old lady fell on
the corpse and kissed it, and ad-
dressed it by every term of endear-
ment spoken in bygone generation.
He was her only love, and she had
waited for him her long life. She knew
he had not forsaken her
The old lady and young man had
been betrothed 60 years before. Her
lover had disappeared mysteriously.
and she had kept her faith during the
long interval
The miners removed the old lady to
her house. and that night her faith
full spirit joined that Of her long-lost
lover.

TREATMENT OF CHILD
LECTURERS TOPIC
Mrs. Vance Cheney Addresses Large
Audience in Woodward & 10th
rop's Auditorium.

Think nothing. say nothing. do moth
ing in the presence OF a child that you
do not wish to see later expressed in its
life. A child is the most sensitive object
on Gods earth. rejecting mood. state
of mind and quality OF character quite
as completely as the sensitive plate of
the camera reflects the objects before
it."
This was the advice given by Mrs
Vance Cheney in a talk before the week.
ly meeting OF the Washington League
of Right Thinking and Right Living yes
terday morning in the Woodward &
Lothrop auditorium. An audience which
filled the room listened to her lecture on
the training OF children. She said:
The fundamental step in child training
Is parent and teacher training. There Is
much truth in the saying. AS the twig
Is bent. so will the tree incline Only
he or S.. who is erect OF soul can direct
the chill -twig steadily upward.
Keep the child In the open until IL Is
10 years old before you allow 1t a peep
into the schoolroom. Treat It as ten
derby, every moment of the time. as you
do a plant Give to the child the outer
air and sunshine plus the sunshine and
air OF love, strength, poise and cheer.
Teach Il the religion of the spirit Do
not teach II theology-God made love;
man made theology
Surround the child with an atmos-
phere OF love, harmony. absolute integ-
rfty and announcement Train the child
to think. to observe. to tell and record its
observations correctly. child trained
in such an atmosphere will never become
untruthful or dishonest"

GIRLS SHOW MOTHERS
KITCHEN EFFICIENCY
Emey-Eckington Students Exhibit Pro-
6cieney as Cooks and Housekeep-
ers to Delighted Audience.

Eighth grade girls of the Emery School
yesterday showed their mothers their
worth as chefs in the family kitchen and
as keepers of the parental houserold.
The demonstration was before some
seventy mothers In the Emery School,
and was the regular afternoon session OF
the Emery-Eckington Home and School
Association.
The girls owe the success of their
demonstration to Miss Emma s. Jacobs,
director OF domestic science in the public
schools. and their own individual
teacher. Miss Adelaire Davis, principal
of the Emery School
The somersault OF an egg in the air
and its landing on the gridle with
graceful splattering of yellow yolk-is
considered incidental to the girls or
Emery and lexington. The higher
culture OF cuisine and allied culinary
intricacies is their aim. and. according
to yesterdays demonstration, they have
reached it.
The baking of biscuits. cooking Of
crullers and proper peeling of potatoes
are essential in the home whose bill OF
fare is an established item. but advent
urous girls in the classes have shown
an interest in individual research for
original receipts and concoctions And
while the mothers sighed. somewhat,
yesterday. at the efficiency of twenty
century methods of frying ham ana
eggs, they really delighted in the fact
that their girls could WELD broom
with a minimum OF labor to themselves
