flight this summer.
Lieut.. Clarence H. Schildhauer.

summer flew for more than an
hour with 169 passengers.
Lieutenant Schildhauer, who

He established several records in
flying big boats and has had ex.
tensive pioneering experience in
ocean flying.

MURDERED MAN.
MISSING HEIR

GREENVILLE. Texas. April IL
.1.N.SD.-The final chapter in
the life Of Arthur Benjamin,
aged recluse, who died as mys-
teriously as he lived, has been
written, when it was undoubt-
edly established that he was the
long-sought heir of large estate
in Great Falls, Mont.
Benjamin, who lived the life of
huckster in Greenville and made
his residence in a dilapidated
shanty near the railroad tracks,
died six years ago after being
beaten to Inconsistencies by un-
known assailants. Efforts to
identify his relatives or to solve
the murder was an untiring prob
lem for local authorities for
months. His body was viewed by
thousands, and was finally buried
after six months with no tangible
clue to Benjamin's identity.
With the arrival here of w. H.
Warren of Montana, the case
was reopened. He was seeking
a brother-in-law by the name of
the murdered man to inform
him that he had inherited a
large estate.
Benjamin'S body was exhumed
and body marks tailed with
those given by Warren for iden
tification.

Daughter Of New York Archi-
tect Married While Family
Is on Tour of Continent

FolkeStone, England, April II.
This stolid English Channel town,
swept through without second
thought by thousands of Paris
bound American tourists every
year, awoke today to find itself
the center Of a Graustarkian ro-
nance between New York
heiress and local newsboy.
The heireSs was Miss Vivienne
Maude Huntington, daughter of
the late Charles Pratt Hunting.
ton, wealthy architect, and a
cousin Of Archer Milton Hunting
ton, New York author. She is
now Mrs. Alfred Cecil Durham.
Her husband is a member of a
modest Folkestone family and un-
til a few days ago. earned his liv-
ing selling newspapers outside the
local railway station.
Married Secretly.
The couple were married
secretly month ago. News of
the romance leaked out only
when they booked passage for To
ronto aboard the Canadian Paci-
fic liner MontroSe, sailing tomor-
row. When they purchased their
tickets at. London steamship
office it became known that the
heiress, whose family is said to
be worth $30,OO0,00O, was the
bride of the British newsboy.
In restaurants, trans and pubs
the marriage was virtually the
sole topic of conversation here to-
day. Investigation showed the
couple were married at the Folke-
stone registrar office on March 13,
while the brides mother, with
whom she lived in palatial coun-
try home here, was on a visit to
Switzerland. A brief honeymoon
at Brighton followed and on April
2 the couple went through a sec
ond marriage ceremony at All
Souls Church, at Cheriton, near
here.
Delivered Her Paper
Miss Huntington revealed she
met her future husband when he
came to deliver newspapers at the
door of her home. She said:
1--WE had occasional talks, and
/ soon found him to be the man
for me. had always said 1
would never marry a man be-
meath my station in life, but this
proves what love can do.
1--WE had many walks together
before and after we were Sc
cretly engaged, and it was great
fun lodging people whom we
thought might recognize U.S."
The bride added, with pardon
able enthusiasm, that her husband
was adorable" and "a perfect
darling"
The couple plan to live in To
ronto. Mrs. Durham is 81 years
of age. Her husband is 81.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE

/. Should the sherbet be eaten
before or after the meat?
2. Is it correct, when dining.
to cut the meat, lay down the
knife and change the fork to
the right hand and pick up
the food. or should one use the
fork in the right hand only for
salads? T. B.
/. This depends on its appro-

2. This Is just as one chooses.
And there is always a great
deal Of controversy on this sub.

fork in the left, and convey the

with the fork still held in the
the right hand, as a convenient

belted coat, is the chief inspira
ton for this borrowing of fash
ion themes. From his uniform,
Vionnet took her widely-wrap-
ped coat that closes on a sur.
pEce line, and flares gradually
and slightly from the waistline
to the hem.
The wide belts we find on so
many coats are direct descend
ants of the CoSSack'S belt also,
as we see them on many OF
the spring coats. It's important
to notice that most of the new
coats are buttoned or belted,
that they stay shut of their
own faStenings and do not
have to be held.
BlouSeS are coming back
bodices bloused slightly above
a normal waistline, and again
this is Russian in feeling. We
do not wear our blouses as full
as the peasant blouSeS, but the
theme is undoubtedly return
ing. Another detail of the
peasant blouse is the full
sleeve, gathered onto a narrow
band. which will be found on
many summer frocks. Again,
this is more restrained than
the peasant fashion.
Peplums and tunics are also
borrowed from the Russian,
though most of them are so
changed that their mother coun-
try would never recognize them.
PeplumS promise to be more and
more important for spring, on
both dresses and suits, suggested
or actually flaring from the
dress.
OF course, high-buttoned col
lars are distinctly Russian in
their origin, not only the side
buttoned collar of the mans
blouse that we are so familiar
with. but the coat collar that
stands close about the throat,
appearing on some spring coats,
of fur or fabric. The American
version is sometimes looped,
scarf fashion, for softness and
femininity.
With these Russian coats, a
hat looks smart that carries out
the Russian feeling, cuffed, and
standing rather straight off the
face. This is one edition of the
brimmed hat, turned back, that
is good for spring. OF course,
it appears usually in felt, and if
it takes a feather brush; that is
also suggestive of the country of
its origin.
