Honeymooning may appeal to some
newlyweds. But is different story with
George Schaeffer. an ex-policeman. and
his wife, Mrs. Angie Schaeffer. They
consider themselves the happiest pair In
Bucks County. They simply brought
their honeymoon to an emu today. They
wanted to be let alone, like all honey
moon couples do. This was impossible,
Schaeffer and his wife were married
July II by the Rev. DIR. w. F. Spidlo.
After the ceremony they decided to go
away on an extended honeymoon. Many
trips were mapped out. First OF all they
intended to see Broadway and the Brook
lyn bridge. Then they intended to view
Niagara Falls, N. Y.
Everything went we'll until their re-
spectlve heights began to attract too
much attention. 1t finally became so an
noying that they couldn't go anywhere
unless a crowd composed of newsboys
children, shoppers and others followed
them. Whenever they entered a restaur-
ant diners stopped eating. The diners
would lay their knives and forks aside.
On trolley cars passengers would look
at them. Tho conductor would also look
at them.
While the honeymoon lasted they had
occasion to visit stores. But the sales
men couldn't accommodate them. It
seemed that there was nothing in stock
to ht Schaeffer and his bride.

ESTELLA, MEMBER OF Gypsy BAND,
QUITE ACTIVE, DESPITE IFS YEARS
Crooked and Whered With Age She Watches Her Great
Grandchildren at PlGy -...

daughter, contributed to her support.
Then this woman came to Spain and took
Estella, at the age Of 1O2 years, back to
the United States with her to Join in the
nomadlc life of this gypsy band For ID
years she has roved this country with
them, and until few years ago shared in
their work of making beads.
While the men are busy tinkering, and
/ the women doing fancy work, Estella
sits nearby like an oracle, Whispering
words of wisdom to the younger genera
tions. She likes nothing better than to
stare straight into the face OF the sun,
hor watch the fieeting clouds, and her
weather prophecies are said to be never
railing. Her eyes are terribly bleared
from the Intense glare but she is still
healthy, and knows nothing of dieting
She eats and drinks almost anything
sometimes the food Is not the freshest or
the cleanest and sometimes very far
from being either but this never worries
ner. Gipsies are not very cleanly people,
put In spite of all scientific teaching and
Dacteriologio preaching, Estella, today, is
quite alive at a ripe old age She does
not regard the walks she takes as con-
stltutlonals, but she drifts here and there
among the tents, giving words of advice
when spoken to, but otherwise reserving
ShSABys oHt ABOUT the
place In her bare feet without the aid of
crutch or walking stick and never
wears shoes. When the gipsies fold their
tents and set the wheels Of their van in
motion for distant fields Estella takes
care OF her shoes, packing them away
carefully, but she never uses them, and
this care seems to every one tinwarranted.
When the band gathers together at night
peneath the stars, and one of the younger
boys brings out from his tent battered
mandolln. then sometimes Estella, filled
with the spirit of the scene, can be
coaxed to mutter some unforgotten words
OF Spanish love song. But she usually
pulls her tattered quilt about her form
long before the rest lie down to sleep
and she dozes at various intervals
throughout the day. ,'
Estella stood today looking at the time
Scared van which transports them across
the country as 1t rested near the tent
She missed the horses Asking her daugh-
ter what had become OF them, she learned
mat the men had sold them, and she was
told that the band expects to remain in
Philadelphia all summer She did not
seem to care, as she merely shrugged |
her shoulders and sat down.

So the very next afternoon, when the
sun shone fiercely and the garden crea-

mouse slipped out from his home and
ran over to the cellar door,
"I'll declare" he said to himself after
he had looked at the door carefully, ''if
all those garden folk had not made so
much fuss about that cellar door, would
be inclined to say that 1t was a most
ordinary cellar door, and that It doubt

year; easier-but new.
The Dancing Masters Association is
holding meetings twice a month at vari-

II no new dances are developed, It would
appear, there will not be much work for
the dancing masters; but this is not true.
There Ia such a thing as reviving old
dances, and indications are that the one

and FURNISHED up next winter. Hardly
anybody remembers It. And the tango?
Discarded. of course, until everybody has
forgotten 1t, too.

TSTELLA, crooked and wlthered with
1Iher lis years, squatted before her
gipsy tent today watching her great
grandchildren Swarms Of flies buzzed
around the little camp,
When the gipsies moved their quar-
ters to the sheltered green mounds near
10th street and Lansdowne avenue, they
brought Estella with them, for they feel
n camp would not be home without her.
Estella is in her teens for the second
time; she is 1907, 400 hours old, which is
115 years.
All this week. while the nut brown
men were busy setting up their gay
colored tents over wooden platforms, she
squatted in the sun, chewing long
stemmed weeds, and watching her great
grandchildren.
AS the story is told, Estella became
member of the wandering band at the age
of 102 years, never before having been
gipsy. She had been the wife of n
merchant in old Madrid, who, being i'm
provident, had left her without resources
at his death. After that a woman she

NAVY Blue SERGE AGAIN
LEADS THE STYLES EOR EALL
FOR FALL

AMERICAN styles for fall are
"A coming in with startling
rapidity considering the fact that
1t Is August. They reflect the hest
productions of our finest whole
sale houses. and the results are
more than interesting to the FASH
ion follower. The tailored suit is
a distinctly American institution,
and styles in this particular line
interest any and every woman, be-
cause a fall or winter suit is a
foregone conclusion. The most
economical woman has to have a
suit.
Tho complications attending the
manufacture OF foreign materials
make 1t almost impossible to get
imported goods, so the result is q
decided tendency toward plain
fabrics, For instance, the Dry
Goods Economist predicts serge,
gabardine. popllns, whipcords, nov
city checks and stripes, mixed

velours as the prime favorites for
tailored costumes. Among the
dressy materials, velvets OF all
kinds are extremely good. Fur
trimmings will continue the rage,
even on blouses, continues the
Economist.
Today's illustration features a
fall trotteur modelled on the lines
OF the latest autumn garments.
The coat is long, like almost all
those shown In the advance styles.
The material is navy serge, with
a very short ripple skirt. The
high-buttoned collar gives a very
chic appearance to the wearer, and
the normal belted-in waist line is
slightly trimmed with military
headings. The military note is
continued by deep cuffs OF self
material, also braided. The hat Is
made Of velvet, from design In
vogue. These all-Velvet hats are
the newest things for late summer
and fall wear.

Another Salad Help

Meatless salads are a dainty luncheon
dish for hot weather meals. All kinds
OF combinations are used. such as fruits
vegetables, string beans. potatoes. toma-
toes, nuts, seafood. in short. almost any
tasty combination OF odds and ends may
be used. substantial hard-boiled-e
salad is nice for a change. when pre-
pared with mayonnaise or French dress
ing. Russian sauce Is favored by some.
A novel hard-boiled-egg slicer is shown
in today's illustration. 1t is used just
like pair OF shears. only the rings cut
the egg into smooth slices, firm and even.
This isn't easily accomplished with the
ordinary kitchen knife. and for picnic
use the slicer is most practical. II sells
