TEW romantic tales of love are
~ associated with the early his
- tory of America. There is one,
however, woven about the early set
tlement of Buenos Ayres, which is as
popular with the South Americans as
Pocahontas is with the people of
North America.
When Sebastian Cabot explored
and took possession of lands in South
America he built at the mouth of one
of the rivers, in the vicinity of what
is now Buenos Ayres, a stronghold
which he named the Fort of the Holy
Ghost. When Cabot returned to
Spain he left Nuno de Lara as COM
mander of the fort with 100 men.
De Lara, knowing that he and his
garrison were the only white men in
a vast country populated by Indians.
strove to cultivate friendly relations
with the savages. The nearest and
most powerful of the tribes were the
Timbuez. His success in this brought
about his death and the loss of the
fort in the following unexpected
manner.
Sebastian Hurtado, one of De Lara S
soldiers, had brought with him his
wife, Lucia Miranda, a Spanish lady
of great beauty.
Mangora, the cacique Of the Tim
buez, making frequent visits to the
fort, saw this lady and fell so deeply
in love with her that he openly dis
played his admiration for her.
Miranda knowing how important it
was to keep on friendly terms with
the Indians, tried to avoid meeting
Mangora. Then the cunning Indian
laid plans to get the fair lady out OF
the fort. He invited Hurtado to pay
him a visit and bring his wife with
him. But Hurtado, being suspicious
of Mangora, refused to accept his hos
pitality.
One day, when half the garrison
had gone in search of food, Mangora
appeared with a band of warriors
and forcing his way into the fort SET
fire to the powder magazines and
killed the men. De Lara, though NOR
tally wounded, in a last desperate eff
fort to protect the women, killed
Mangora.
The Spanish women and children
were made captives and brought be-
fore Siripa, brother of Mangora, and
the new cacique Of the tribe. The
moment he beheld Miranda he, also,
| lost his heart. He offered her his
love, saying that her husband was a
fugitive in the forests and could new

ELEANORE OF TOLEDO

Eleanore of Toledo was born IN
1926 and was the daughter of Porto
of Toledo, viceroy of Naples. At the
age of seventeen she was married to
Cosmos L, of Medici. The latter was
engaged in continuous warfare with
his hereditary enemies, the Strozzr
and Eleanore never left the side of
her husband even during the most
terrible battles. One day, while riding
with an escort of fifteen horsemen she
met the leader Of the hostile forces,
Philip Strozzi, with forty-five horse
men. She threw herself upon them,
cut them to pieces and made Strozzi
a prisoner. In order to escape death
on the scaffold, Strozzi comitted sui
eide in his prison. She accompanied
her husband in the war between
Charles ", and Francis L. and was
actively engaged in the storming and
taking Of Sienna. She urged her hus-
band to have himself made king, but
this he failed to do. Plus ", changed
his title to Duke of Florence and

soul, he was determined that no ono
else should enjoy the evidence Of Mir

Hurtado and his beautiful wife
were still lovers, and it was impoS-

stirred them. In one fatal moment
they broke their promise to Siripa.
who came upon them while they were
clasped in each others arms.
Filled with mad jealousy Siripa or
dered that Hurtado be again bound to
a tree and shot full of arrows. This
time the sentence was carried out, and
Miranda was compelled to witness his
death. Then, refusing to become the
wife Of Siripa, she was sentenced to
be burned at the stake.
Not murmur of anguish escaped
her lips as the flames rose about her.
She welcomed death as a quick means
of being united with her beloved hus-
band.
And thus was the tragic ending of
the romance of faithful Miranda and
Sebastian Hurtado.

1t was very chic little model of
orange Milan and black taffeta- The
crown was slashed to show the black
lining, and the headband was trim
med with two bias strips of the taft
feta. A large tassel of black silk
hung from one side.
1 saw, Immediately, that the turban
was too extreme for Miss Hamilton,
so I took it off before she had a
/ chance to look at herself in the mir
ror.
Then a small hat of midnight blue
milan attracted my eye. 1t looked as
if it might be particularly becoming to
la girl with blonde hair and blue eyes,
so 1 tried it on Miss Hamilton. The
effect was perfect.
| The medium high crown and mar
row, slightly turneddown brim were
| just the right proportions for her face.
A band of blue and white striped
faille ribbon was drawn about the
base of the crown and knotted in the
centre front with two stiff looking
loops which were very smart.
This will do nicely for one. Now
I want to see something smaller.

COZ feathers in front"
knew that this model was much
too heavy for young girl, but I
handed it to Miss Hamilton.
1t was of black lacquered straw
shaped very like an officers cap, with
full crown and visor. A towering or
nament of black cog plumage trim
med the front. The hat was stunning,
but not on Miss Hamilton.
''Too bad it doesn't look well on
me-" she sighed as she looked in the
mirror. Haven't you something else
of the military type that L could wear.
| 1 hunted about until I found an
Eadorable little turban of Belgian blue
hemp with a teurned-up brim edged
with a fri1ling of taffeta to match.
Two black, diamond-shaped buttons
trimmed the front.
There was a collar of blue taffeta
to correspond with the turban-it was
a cravat Of black grosgrain ribbon.
1 fitted the hat we'll down on Miss
lHamilton's head and adjusted the col
lar over her coat. The set was exact
ly what she needed to make her cos
tune absolutely smart from every
point of view. The blue brought out
the beauty of her coloring, and the
effect was entirely satisfying.
Miss Hamilton was delighted with
the hat and collar and decided tc
wear them home Marianne caught
a glimpse Of her as she passed out
of the shop. Turning to Julie, she
Isaid: You're right; a becoming hat

This little lady wants a couple of
smart street hats. Show her some
thing chic and youthful" she said
So I conducted Miss Hamilton into
the tiny gray salon where Marcelle
displays her best models and looked
about for hats that would improve
her appearance.
DO you always wear hats with
dropping brims? They almost COM
pletely hide your lovely hair" I said,
picking up a small Chinese turban
and placing it upon her head.
''Why-sometimes," Miss Hamilton
smiled.

were of the opinion that they would be

the water being lifted from the river

7OO-foot sluice which carries the water

two pumps were working this morn

danger OF water shortage is past

pumps
