Cecily, duchess of York. who lived
toward the end of the sixteenth CEN
tury, was doomed to witness in her
family more appalling calamities than
probably are found in the history OF
any other individual. Twenty-six of
her closest relatives, through whom
she hoped to inherit the throne of Eng
land, were killed in battle, poisoned or
murdered during her lifetime. Her
father was that rash and powerful
nobleman, Ralph Neville, earl of West
moreland. She was the youngest OF
twenty-one children, and on becoming
the wife of Richard Plantagenet, duke
of York, her family exerted all their
influence to place her on the throne OF
England. After series of splendid
achievements, unparalleled in history,
the whole family of Nevilles was
swept away long before Ceeily had de-
scended in sorrow to her grave.

GENTILITY IN HUMBLE GARB
Rags and Tatters Proudly Worn by
the Famous Experimenters at
Brook Farm.

"Arcadians though we were" wrote
Hawthorne of the Brooks farm expert
ment, "our costume bore no resem-
blanee t. the beribboned doublets, silk
breeches and stockings, and slippers
fastened with artificial roses that dis
tinguished the pastoral people of po-
etry and the stage. In outward show,

er like a gang of beggars, or banditti,
than either company of honest labor
ing men or a conclave of philosophers.
Whatever might be our points of diff
ference we all of us seemed to have
come to Blithedale with the one thrifty
and laudable idea of wearing out our
old clothes. Such garments as had an
airing whenever we strobe atield
Coats with high collars and with no

and with the waist at every point be-
tween the hip and armpit pantaloons
of dozen successive epochs, and

humiliatiOns of the wearer before his
ludy-love; in short, we were living
epitome of defunct fashions, and the
very raggedest presentment of men
who had seen better days. 1t was gen
tility in tatters. We might have been
sworn comrades to Falstaff's ragged
regiment. Little skill as we boasted

admirably to stick UP for scare

opaIs and Pearls.

We suppose that those people who
call pearls tears" do so because both
are globular and limpid. 1t is sug-
gested by resemblance. The ancients
believed that pearls are formed of
drops of dew that fall into the shells
of the oysters at night. If the dew
was pure the pearls would be beauti-
full and clear; IL impure, they would
be duh and muddy. We no not find
that the opal is considered unlucky.
In mOttos made of the first letter of
gems it is used to spell good luck
1t is also used to spell the word
"hppe."

FEAST WORTHY OF TAN NAME NAME
Monteneerins Put Up Elaborate Spread
as Natural Part OF the We'd
ding Ceremony.

The feasts prepared by Monteneg-
rims when weddings are celebrated,
overshadow the most elaborate affairs
along that line In America, says Ed
na Worthley Underwood, in transa-
tlon of story. "Euror Illyrlcus," by
A. Non Xestendorf.. Two serving maids
and the head Of the house enter with
huge, four-cornered bottles. One little
drink and a dried fig open the meal.
This Is custom to Danish the taste
Of cigarets, which are always in evil
dence. The heavy. thick, ink-black
wine of Lissa Is then poured, and the
diners choose their favorite morsels
from plates, after which sugared eggs
are passed around. This is just the
beginning of the banquet which is
followed by minestra, baked macaroni,
with hashee made from the entrails
of young lambs, fowl roasted in sugar,
small barboni baked in oil, baked ink
fish with citron, pullets cooked with
fresh vegetables, and beef served on
huge platters. Wine flows in abund-
ance. and boisterous laughter and loud
talking prevail. The banquet is closed
with a special dish, after champagne
has been served. A roast lamb is
brought in on a wooden platter, and
put near the lower end of the large
table. With a lordly gesture the mas
ter of ceremonies steps forward, and
with large knife, ground as thin as
a hair, chops the lamb into four
pieces with two strokes. The women
continue to eat cakes and fruit, but
the men spend the remainder Of the
time drinking.

BRATTIEBORO VERMONT. FRIDAY EVENING,
ALUMNI REUNION
PLANS UNDER WAY
Will Be Held Wednesday, June % :
Memorial Tablets to Be Dedicated
Parade to Be Feature.

Plans for the annual reunion of the
Brattleboro High School Alumni asso-
citation have been considered by the off
GERS and the general committee, and while
all details have not yet been worked out,
enough has been decided upon to assure
an interesting and successful meeting
The reunion will be held Wednesday,
June %, the day following the close of
the school year.
The bronze memorial tablet which the
association is to present to the school in
honor of the eight members of the school
and alumni who gave up their lives in the
World war will be dedicated at this meet
ing.
At the reunion last year there was a
unanimous vote in favor of continuing
the parade as an annual feature, and it
is hoped that this years parade will be
even better than those in the past. An
attempt will be made to have additional
music for the marching and it is expected
that there will be at least two drum
corps in line in addition to the Brattle
boro band. After the return to the
school building there will be music by an
orchestra and school singing. An hours
program will follow, including the dedi-
cation of the memorial tablet, short
business meeting, the awarding of the
cups for attendance and an entertainer
from Boston or New York Refresh
ments viii be served by Miller. At 10
o'clock the class of 1895, the 25-year
class, invites the association to a dance
at the Odd Fellows temple as its guests
There will also be an opportunity fol
class reunions at the school building.

CAN'T OVERRIDE
PRESIDENTS VETO
Congress Will Not Be Able
to Put Peace Resolution
Into Effect
NO 'INEFFACABLE
STAIN" TO BE MADE
House Has Nearly Enough Votes to
Pass Resolution Over Veto, but SEN
ate Does Not-Two New Moves Now
Possible by President.

WASHINGTON, May 2S-Republicans
generally conceded today that there was
not chance of overriding the veto on
the question of repassing the peace reso-
luton which the President Yesterday
sent back to congress unsigned with the
statement that he could not agree to such
a program because he considered it would
place IAN ineffacable stain" on the ma
TONS honor.
Leaders predicted that the house vote
would fall short only few votes of the
required two-thirds majority, but said an
attempt IN the senate to override the
veto would be hopeless.
In vetoing the resolution the President
for the third time assumed the RESPONSE
bility for keeping the nation in tech
| nieal state of war, twice before having re
fused to allow ratification Of the treats
with the Lodge reservations The vet,
is the last step in bringing the treaty o.
| Versailles and the leagln OF nations GOV
enant squarely into the next campaign
The President Justified his veto by de
nouncing the Knox resolution as "a com
| plete surrender of the rights of the Uni
| ted States SO far as the German govern
mcnt is concerned and IAN ineffaccqb
stain upon the gatlantry and honor Of TIN
United States
Two new moves may follow the failllr
to override the veto. First, it is expectc,
the President will send the treaty bac
to the senate in order that it may be r.
posing there during the campaign; second
the Republicans have under consideration
a separates resolution repeating al Tie wa
legislation. Democrats OF both house
have stated that they will support sue
a move, and resolution along this lin
has been framed by Representative No
stead (Minn1 chairman of the hous
judiciary committee, and Representativ
Graham Pa.l.
Running through the Presidents me-
sage was the same view that he expresse
: in recent kilograms to Oregon and Kan
sas Dmocrats- namely, that to do an,
thing but accept the treaty in its pre-
ent form is. to use the Presidents words
''inconceivable, inconsistent with the di
nitv of the United States, with the right
and liberties of her citizens, and wit
the verv fundamental conditions of civi
ization."
