Question About Time of Birth
Battles Fort Wayne Bride
t0-be-Couple Goes to Her
Home.

Blushingly Miss Virginia Ward Of
Fort Wayne admitted to Deputy Clerk
Hafner today that she was mentally
at a loss as to the day and month Of
her birthday and she was thus unable
to qualify for a marriage license.
The young woman and her betroth.
ed agreed to meet In Richmond as a
compromise point between Fort
Wayne. her home, and Columbus, o.,
his home. but they later discovered
that the marriage laws of Indiana are
not the same as in other states and
Miss Ward can secure license only
in the county in which she lives.
The regular form questions on the
marriage license application were be-
ing gone through when the stumbling
block was encountered. With each
question the young lady became more
confused.
What was the year Of your birth ?"
the deputy clerk asked her.
1885,"
What is the month and day."
The question was pondered for some
time while Miss Ward turned crimson
When she composed herself sufficient
ly all she could say was: SEARCH me" !"
The deputy clerk informed her that
such duties were not within his juris-
diction and that she could not secure q
license even II the lost date returned
to her. He told them the law on this
matter.
'Us for Fort Wayne then" the
young man said and seized his wife-to-
be's arm, hurrying off to catch the
noon train north.
The law requires thirty days resi-
dence in the county where the license
is issued. The young man did not give
his name.

COUNTY LOSES
half OF TAXES
PAID ON AUTOS
WAYNE Receives in Three
Settlements From State
S6,841 of $12,247 Collected
From Car Owners.

Since the operation of the new auto
mobile registration and license law,
Wayne county has lost almost half OF
the money paid by her automobile
owners to the state, according to the
last report reuort returned to County
Treasurer Chamness. In the three
settlements, s12,247.61 has been paid
into the state fund by Wayne county
owners and $6,S41.71 has been receiv-
ed for the county road fund.
The settlement just made was s454
for automobiles granted licenses since
the June settlement In this time the
amount paid in was s7s1. This is on
new automobiles exclusively, indicat-
ing the number of machines purchased
Ia st summer by Wayne county resi-
dents.
Loses in Three Ways.
The county loses on two of three
methods of distributing the money.
Every county receives an equal part
of one-third of the net receipts In the
office of the secretary of state. This
amounted to $133.04. Because Wayne
county has so many more automobiles
than many other counties in the state,
this amount represents part of the
loss. The other loss is on the county
road mileage which was returned at
the rate of $45676 mile. Added to
the fund is one-third of the net re-
ceipts from Wayne county automobile
licenses. In addition the sum OF $1O.14
was sent to make up for an error In
the last 1914 distribution.
The following table shows the losses
since the law went into effect:
Paid. Received.
Total 1913 $3,255.S4 $1,64267
First 1914 ........ S,21o.27 4,744.5S
Last 1914 ........ 7Sl.SO 454.i ID
Totals ..... $12,24761 $6,841.71
Loss on three distributions since
law became effective, S5,405.9O.
As result Of these losses the coun-
ty officials are in favor of bill i'll
legislature similar to two which have
been introduced to place the registra-
ton of automobiles with the county.
and to leave all money collected from
this source in the county where 1t IS
collected.
The bills are both unsatisfactory,
however, as one places the automobile
licenses in the hands of the auditor
and the other with the treasurer. Botn
officials say the county clerk should
handle them. The officials will make
no effot to have eithe bill passed.

Sport hats made of fabrics have
been developed this season to an i'm
portant place in the well-def1ned class
sport hat has become an important
part of our specialized millinery and
will grow more and not less popular,
as women are becoming more and not
less identified with outdoor life and
outdoor sports.
These plain, well-made, well-fitting
and snappy items in the headWear of
the modern woman, are made of straw
braids or body hats, but have proved
SO successful when made of fabrics
that the fabric hat claims special at
tention. A group Of three of them is
pictured here in which one hat is
made of taffeta silk, one of checked
cotton goods, in a heavy weave, and
one in mercerized poplin which is
made of cotton but has the appear
ance of silk.
The first hat is of bright green taf-
feta The brim Is stiffened by an in
terlining of crinoline and many rows
of machine stitching. The top crown
is a scant puff, and the side crown is
a wide band crinoline covered with
the silk A wide bow of the taffeta
posed at the front provides the trim
ming The brim may be turned up or
down, and the hat fits the head like
a cap. 1t is lined with white silk.
The second hat may be made of
pongee in the natural color, and green
taffeta silk The silk is used for the
brim facing and for piping the seams.
But the hat as shown in the picture

Out of a turmoil of shapes and q riot
of color a few parasols have emerged
from among many novelties to become
favorites for this season The "Chin-
Chin" is one of them and the 3Pagoda"
another, both patterned after models
which have been introduced to us by
fair Japan or old China. But none Of
these novelties holds first place in
point of numbers. The majority of
women buy the usual shape with
which everyone is familiar and de-
pend for novelty on the colors or
the border used or new ways of ad-
justing the covering to the frame.
A convenient parasol for those who
are to travel is made with a detach-
able handle. By clever little con-
trivance the lower part of the handle
may be made to slip out of the upper
part. This allows the parasol to be
packed in any trunk
Parasols in all white, in white and
black, and those showing rich Persian
designs in many colors applied to
white or ecru grounds are liked for
all-round wear. Emerald green, and
pongee in the natural color combined
with green, are always in fashion.
Handsome white lace coverings over
taffeta silk makes an elegant sun
shade that one may wear with assur-
ance on high occasions every season.
Black and white checks and black
and white stripes mounted with plain
black or plain white or with emerald
green have been used to make many
smart patterns. Plain parasols lined
with silk in a bold checkerboard pat

tern in black and white, the checks
amost two inches square, are attrac.
tive but an extreme development Of
the mode.
A pagoda parasol is shown in the
picture given here, made of black silk
with border in black-and-white stripes
and handle in all-black wood. The
ribs are deeply curved. 1t is almost
the opposite in shape to the white
Chin Chin" parasol with straight
ribs covered with chiffon. Strips of
white embroidered chiffon cover each
line made by the ribs, showing through
on the upper side. The strips end in
points. They overlap at the top, max
ing the thin and fragile cover trifle
more practical.

couldn't look him in the face, but
stood waiting fearfully, trembling.
Lord, if could do it," Hall went
OF to himself. -Four millions! Be-
fore midnight" He paused, gazing at
Q corner of the ceiling. "Oh. by jove!"
he exclaimed suddely, "I know now!
You mean Rena Royalton! Why, I
never thought of her, before! OF

trimmed with woven silk band in
yellow and green with little green
buttons at the front.
The jockey cap is the least preten-
tious of these hats for wear when one
devotes the time to outdoor life. The
loosely woven fabric is not warm and
will stand any amount of wear and
tear 1t is simply a visor of buck
ram or canvas covered with the fab
ric. The crown is a puff made of a
circular piece of the goods, and is
plated into the visor. Across the
back it is gathered over an elastic
cord. A narrow fold of the goods is
sewed about the cap and completes it..
The standard pattern companies fur
nish patterns for several kinds of fab
ric hats. Few Of them are difficult to
make and all are within the province
of the clever home milliner.

cally the whole day, the Coldstream-
ers, who fought the bulk of the de-
Tending force. held back the most
violent attacks of the action.
With the circuit from the Mound
to Belle-Alliance, and back to Hougo-
mont, the tourist generally contented
himself; but in Waterloo itself, and
in Mont ST. Jean, there are scores OF
memorials of the famous day.
Waterloo was the Duke of Yelling
tons headquarters from June 18th to
the 10Th. The church contains bust of
him, by Geefs, and numerous memorial
slabs and tablets to the memory
of those who fell in the battle.
And in the midst of the sublime
there is. only few PAGES away from
the church, the ridiculous. In a cot
tage garden stands monument to
the leg of Lord Uxbridge, who com
manded the cavalry in the battle. The
leg was amputated Immediately after
the victory, and lies buried here with
an epitaph and a weeping widow
above it.

BeIIe-AIIiance and Hougomont.
About a mile down the road you
come to another of those low, white,
red-roofed houses. 1t is now little
wayside tavern, La Belle-Alliance
There is an inscription over the door
that tells that Wellington and Blucher
met there. But this is not correct.
The historic meeting took place some
two miles from here.
Belle-Alliance, however, has much
claim to history 1t was Napoleon's
headquarters at the beginning Of the
battle, and by its name the Germans
still know the battle of Waterloo.
Close at hand is undoubtedly the
most beautiful monument on the whole
field-and one of the most recent. 1t
shows wounded Imperial Eagle dy-
ing in defense of a broken standard.
1t bears the simple legend AUX
Derniers Combatants de la Grande
Armee, 1S JUN 1875" To the last of
those who fought in the Grande
Armee of Napoleon, to the gallant vet
erans of those wonderful soldiers the
Little Corporal led through Europe,
Frenchmen erected this striking mon
ument only few years since.
From Belle-Alliance the pilgrims
road led generally to the right along
the narrow lane that runs through the
very center of the battlefield to per-
haps the most historic of all its re-
mains, the Chateau de Hougomont.
The story of this chateau is one that
can never die.
Hougomont was one of the advanced
posts of the British lines and the key
of the British position. If 1t had fall
len, the history of Europe would have
been differently written.
At the time of the battle, Hougo-
mont was an old, partly-ruined cha
teau, surrounded by numerous out
buildings. BY the Great Dukes own
orders the place was hurriedly turned

CHANGED HIS THEORY
MEEK MAN GOT TIRED OF BEING
IMPOSED UPON.
Finally Decided There Was Nothing
In the Idea and Went Strongly on
the Other Tack-Waxed
Rich and Fat.

Once upon a time there was man
who had a wonderful disposition.
Nothing ruffied him. Mild-mannered
and gentle, he went about his business
regularly on weekdays and attended
church regularly on Sundays. His
favorite beatitude was, Blessed are
the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth" He was constantly hoping
that someone would strike him on
the cheek, so that he could turn the
other one, and he always kept handy
cloak, which, in obedience to the
Biblical Injunction, he could give also
to anybody who might take his coat.
It was his policy in political and
economic matters invariably to be
agreeable, generous, and self-efacing.
When the politicians broke their
promises, he always supposed they
must have had a good reason for so
doing. He believed that the trust
magnates were more interested in
the welfare Of the country than In
their own profits, and whenever the
trusts raised prices he assumed that
the poor owners wouldn't have done
1t unless it was absolutely necessary.
Thus, until he was past mid die age,
was his serenity undisturbed, and he
kept getting poorer all the time. Final
ly he was down and out altogether.
whereupon he went to the banker with
whom he had deposited all his life
and who happened to be also the
chief owner of the local street railway
company which was famous through
out the country for high rates and
poor service. When the man asked
| the banker for temporary loan the
| banker was very, very kind to the
man, and, with tears in his eyes, ex-
| planned that there was no one in all
| the world to whom he would rather
lend money than to the man, but the
fact was that business was business
| and finance was finance, and he did
not consider the man good risk, be-
cause he was too easy-going.
The man went away and began to
brood over his situation. For the first
| time in his life he found himself fear
| ing lest his temper get the better OF
him. He kept on brooding, and then
he discovered that he was actually
| getting mad. and the more he brooded
the madden he got. He muttered,
"'Blessed are the meek!' Bah! Ac-
cursed are the meek, for they shall be
imposed upon!" He began to judge
everybody on the theory that they
would Judge him whether he judged
| them or not He declared that any
man who struck him on the cheek
had better get out of the way If he
| did not want to get fusillade OF
| blows in return, and If fellow took
his coat, he would make him give
| back q whole suit.
His fortunes Immediately changed
for the better, and in short time he
became SO influential that nothing was
done in the community without first
securing his approval

Situation In France.

Pat, who was out of work. and who
was thinking Of emigrating, was pass
ing by a news agents shop the other
day, when a placard outside the door,
containing the words Situation in

Olive come about that situation you're

News Agent-What situation are you
referring to, sir?

one in France I'm after.
