YEA, IN TRUTH
REBECCA CAME
FORTH IN HASTE

WASHINGTON, N. c.. January
"a certain young and devout
churchwoman of this city whose
given name is Rebecca never
missed divine services, but often
arrived late.
Last Sunday she arrived just as
the pastor was reading from the
Scriptures the story of Rebecca at
ty-fourth chapter.
AS the 1atecomer tripped up the
aisle the minister read:
And behold Rebecca came
FORTH
Broad smiles played over the
faces of the worShipers. Bushes
flooded the fair face of Rebecca-
Courageously she went on, quick
ening her steps.
And she made haste" continued
the clergyman, reading quite
oblfvious of the situation.
Smokers from the youngsters,
broader smiles from the grown
ups and half-suppressed giggles
from the half-groWns were the
response.
By that times Miss Rebecca had
reached her pew. She stumbled
IN and sank down as if she hoped
the cushions would swallow her.
Let the damsel abide with u.s."
concluded the minister. closing
his book and ending the reading.

tic relations court here, Robert H.
Reakirt. twenty-three, voluntarily
all rights to a fortune
Of $1.000.000. for which his father,
L. B. Reakirt. agreed to make pro-
visions for him under an alimony
decree entered in court when his
mother. Mrs. Anne Howard Reakirt,
was granted a divorce in 1906.
In signing away his rights to a
claim against his fathers estate, the
young heirs motive is defined by his
fathers attorney to be simply a de-
sire to aid his father, and to enable
the Cincinnati capitalist to handle the
immense Reakirt estate to better ad-
vantage.
To carry out young Reakirt's de-
sires in, the matter, the divorce de-
cree, was modified so as to eliminate
the $1,000,000 provision for the SON.

Armande Bejart, beautiful, witty

she married the playwright, then a

with all the cccentricities of genius,
it would, as one biographer has said,
be little short Of a miracle had the
marriage been happy one.
Attracted by her beauty, the play
wright, once married, did little to
show his love. His interest in his
work kept him away from his young
bride large part Of the time, and
the old story of the neglected wife
was the result. ArInande loved adj
miration, and when she did not get it
from her husband, she tlirted, HARM
