Sarad toy His Loving Wife-Beautiful
Women Wbo Are Soon to Wed—lhe
Un'on of Hearts and Fortunes
(Copyriaht 18SNX)
\ew York, Not. I.—October is the
brides’ month, the month of orange blos
stns, the month when Cupid smiles, for the
saucy little fe low with his arrows of love
has pierced the hearts of young men and
maiden*. and he smiles broadly as he listens
to toe solemn words of the ministers as they
pronounce the loved and loviug couple man
acd wife.
An unusually large number of fashion
able weddings are to take place during the
fall and winter. Most of these will occur in
\ ev/ Y*-rk, but London and Paris will
claim some, and Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and St. Louis will have their snare.
It is fashionable now to have very elab
orate weddings. Tne cost of some of these
ru;- up into tue thousands of dollars. Wei
tliDC arrangements among the Four Hun
dred are carried on in the most lavish rna 1-
ner, and it is because of th.s extravaga ce
that many persons prefer to be wedded in
London. In the great city on the Thames a
couple may be married in a fashionable
church for a third of the money that a
wedding would cost in America, not to
mention the fact that there is no necessity
of an elaborate breakfast or supper.
However, there are soma people who still
prefer America, cost w hat it will. One of
trese is Mi s Louise Sheuard. daugnter of
Col. Elliott F. Shepard, ho w ill be married
during the winter to Willia n J. Schietteim.
The wedding will be one of the m >st bri!
haat of the season. Miss Shepard is the
firs: of the younger generation of the Van
derbilt family to wed. Sue is a tall, hand
some girl, a lover of outdoor sports, a splen
did horsewoman and a good hand at an o r.
Like her mother and father she is of a
religious turn of mil and and was for a long
tunc a teacher in St. Bartholomew’s Sun
day school.
A fine portrait of her in her father’s hon e
ihoas her to be a singularly beautiful girl,
*ith a bead thai Sir Joshua-Reyuolds would
_ e Lked t * paint. Some day she will tie
worth a good many millions. Her father’s
house on Fifth avenue is now bei g redeco
rated and put in order for the nup,ials.
The bridegroom-elect is a we.l-knowu so
c.eiy man. He is nearly s x feet tall, and
he and his fiancee make a striking couple.
He was educated abroad, pri cipa ly in
Heidelberg, and is a junior member of the
great drug house that bears his father’s
name. He h s given much stuiy to chem
icals and is rated very high in his line by
experts. He is worth considerable money,
and with hisbr de’s dowry will be able to
entertain as well as anyb idy in tne circle of
younger married people.
Another weddiog that will attract atten
tion, and one in woich society people not
only iu London but ali over this country,
are interes ed, is that of Miss Char! >tte de
Zcrega, daughter of John de Zerega, who
is to be married to Sir Frederick Frank
la id, an E glishman and a cousin of Charles
Pelham-Cliutoo, who married the beautiful
Miss iuzz.e a- Z rega. Miss Charlotte is a
beautiful girl, and will make her arisio
cr tic husband a splendid wife. She will
not bring ter husband much of a dowry,
to be sure; but then in this cise money is
cot so much an object, for her husband has
enough to live on very nicely. The couple
will spend a portion of the winter
in New York. The wedding will take place
some time i.i November.
An exieedingly interesting wedding may
lie looked for when the nuptial knot that
will make Airis Amy Coudert and Mc-
Kenzie Sempleone is tied. Miss Coudert is
the youngest daughter of Charles Coudert,of
the well known French family of that
name, and is about 31 years 01 age. Sle is
u traduce of '.he Convent of the Sacred
Heart, but finis ed her education in Paris.
Sne is of n.odium bight ad a brunette of
striking beauty. Mr. Semple is an assist
ant in the district attorney’s office, and won
considerable distinction iu the trials of the
“boodle" aldermen.
Edward Faies Coward, the well-known
an. i popular amateur actor, who is such a
favorite at tile amateur theatricals given at
the Rjci.a.' ay Hunt L lub House at Cedar
hurst, his bestowed his heart and hand
upon a Philad ipnia elle. Miss Mable
Kidg.vay, l'Ue oride-elect is a very hand
some brunette and has many wealthy rela
tives.
A story of to-day, mo e interesting than
fiction because it is the truth. The
see e is laid in New York, the
pri cipai dramatic personae are a
husband, a wife, an employer, an am
b.linos daughter acd Recorder Smyth, be
fore whom more criminals pass each year
than any other judge ,n the world.
A v s.tor to his court room oa a busy day
would be as onisbed at the rapidity with
whicu he disp .teht's business. Tnere is no
more hard-working man oa the bench than
be, and the way he goes at the disposition
oi the calendar leads the person wh * knows
nothi gab >ut his method of business to
believe that his only object is to get through
with h s w ork, no matter what becomes of
the priso ers.
It is the greatest mistake you could make,
toad the recorder. I have to hurry my
work, for my court is overcrowded, but
never in all my experience oa the benen
have I bee i so hurried that I could not
give all the time and attention that was
necessary to prisoners. When a man or
woman comes up before me whom I have
never seeu before, whose looks or manners
give indication that they are not reallv
criminals at hart, I suspend judgment in
their case until the matter is luoroughlv
investigated. '
Of tie scores of cases of men who have
come before me and pleaded guilty, not
knowing really what they were doing, but
anxious to get out of further trouble by
taco g a sentence and hiding themselves
away in prison, I recall one that I shall
remember as long as I Uve. I could not

” as a loving, hard-working, industrious
man. He had only o eobj.-ctia life, his
• ove for hr* aaueoter. Sne had a con
suming ambition to bscome a great ni isi
cian. He had spent ail the m .ney he had
ma le on ter musical education and had
' ealiy kept himself not only poor, but in
debt by sodoi g. It s;emed taat sbe rad al
most gained her nbje t aud become not only
ago and singer, but a fine pau . t, w eu she
went to her father and aii that it would be
necessary for her to take another course of
instruction with a distinguished teac le *.
The poor maa i ad not a dollar in the world.
Hs was only a working-man on small wages
and the money required tor this instruction
was somet dng that he could not hope to
get in the natu al course of events. Hj
brooded over it for a few days, tal ed with
his wife about it. and finally after many In
effectual efforts to raise the money in other
directions he came home one Saturday night
with the desired sum in hi3 bauds.
He was as happy as a setooi-boy. His
face was al! aglow and his eyes danced with
joy. He kisse 1 his daughter, gave her the
money ad told her to go on. Success was
now assured. Tho young woman never for
a moment asked where the money came
from and after the frngvl supper was over
the good wife took her husband
aside and asked him where he got
the money. He evaded her for a
long time and finally, suspecting that
he had not come by' it honestly, sbe
charged him directly with draining it by
false means or foul. Hour after hour she
pleaded with her husband to tell her the
truth. He steadfastly refused. At last at
midnight he could stand it no longer and in
an agony of despair he broke down and told
her taat be had hr ken into the est biish
ment where he worked, taken some valua
ble jewelry and pawned it. The poo • wife
as half crazed. But she was a
brave woman aud told him that
although she valued her daughter’s ed
uca ion and bapoin -as and life above all
else, yet she wou:d not let her husband do
himself so great a 1 injustice, and she took
him by the band and iu the silent watches
of that night tho-e two unhappy people
walked along the streets until they reached
the home of the senior member of the firm
where the man was employed and whose
Store he had robbed.
The woman nervously rang the bell, and,
ulthough the inmates if the house were
asleep, she remained there until at last the
door was opened. Then she took her hus
band in the parlor, and the head of that
great jewelry house sat down and listened
amid her sighs and sobs to what she had to
say. She bade her husband to tell all, and
he explained the robbery fully, told where
he had pawned the stolen goods, and tho
woman banded the money he had obtained
to bis employer, a-ked him to redeem his
property and forgive hor husband. You
would h ,ve thought that any man would
have been touched by the poor woman's
sturdy honesty and tears iu that midnight
hour, but this emplover was not. He
locked the door of his house, dressed him
self ca-efully, went out. ca led a policeman
and had the poor fell w taken to jail.
He recovered his goods and the lnw was
about to take its oourse when t, sitting
on the bench there, saw tnat there
was some storv behind it all and
decided to investigate it. How eloquently
th t poor woman pleaded for her husband
• hat day in my preseaoe I shall never for
get, and how stubhorn the employer who
sat oppos te her and Shylock-like dernnuilod
the pound of flesh wil 1 always be a bitter
remembrance o me. 11 Id the man that
the case was a peculiar one, and it seemed
to me an opportunity for mercy as well as
justice.
“You had better decide,’’ ! told him “not
to pr< senate this poor ftilow. He has never
before been accused of auy crime. He has
worked faithfully for you for many years.
He is deserving . f some consideration from
your hands, and thii woman, his wife, who
w as strong enough not to allow him to com
mit this great crime, is deserving of his
presence and support in her declining
years.
“The woman thanked me very gratefully,
and had hardly done so, when her husband’s
em lover arose and in an angry tone said
’hat he would not for one moment stop the
prosecution. He was determined to make
an ex unple of this ma 1. Nothing could
c ange his mind. He insisted that prisons
were made for just such persons as he, and
that tho sooner he was placed there the bet
ter.
‘‘l allowed him to talk in this way for
perhaps ten minutes. Then I told him that
I had carefully listened to all he had said
and \hat he had not changed my opinion
one bit.
“I don’t believe,” I said to him empeati
callv, “that this man intended to commit
a crime. Asa j; dee 1 am empowe ed to
suspend sentence. I shall < all this man up
in com t to-morrow; shall tell him I have
investigate,! the matter thoroughly aud
shall suspend sentence in his case. Mean
time, sir, I bid you remember that soma
day tiie tables may be turned nod yon may
be anxious to have someone plead in your
defense as eloquently as th s poor womau
has fur her husband.”
Now this is the strangest part of the
story. The man was brought, before ma
the next morning and withdrew his plea of
“guilty.” I suspended s me nee in his case.
Some good people that I kue v obtained
enough mo.,ey to allow his daughter
to secure her musical education, and she
is now well-known in New York’s best
musical circles. I obtained a position for
her father as purser on one of tne out
going steams lips, and he is as honest as the
day is 1 mg, and as faithful as a man can be
for tho service I rendered i im, while his
employer, who was so bitter against him,
has neen brought up in another court in
this city for fraudulent practices, and nar
rowly escaped state’s prison for his crime.

USEFUL OOWNf,
They Are for Walking, Shopping,
Church-Going and Traveling.
New York, Nov. I.—By way of variety
Kedfern seudi us this week a couple of his
inimitable wool gowns, severely simple in
design, after the original conception of the
tailor costume, but as perfect in every de
tail as his most elaborate creation which is
loaded vith hand-braiding and enriched
with velvet and fur trimmings. These
plainer gowns are just the thing for the
morning constitutional, for shopping,
church-going aud traveling, and their chief
attraction is that there is nothing
about them to stamp them as
the creation of a certain date,
and, therefore, they can te worn with
thorough satisfaction os long as the material
wears, fora genuine garment of this kind
never loses its perfect fit, you know.
And now is a good time to invest in one
of these useful gowns, for, notwithstanding
the increased tariff, Redfern’s prices will
not be raised at. present, as his winter nov
elties were delivered before the new bill
went into effect. Now isn’t that good
news, raesdames? Figure first, as here
pictured, gives us an extremely neat little
walking gown.
AN EXTREMELY NEAT LITTLE WALKING
GOWN
Of rough wool goods in Highland check

wrinkled en tablier, has no trimming what
ever, merely a double stitching above the
hem. The doub!e-brea ted coat bodice,
fastened on the left ride by rather large
horn buttons, ends jus below the waist line
in front, but is cut three-quarter length at
the back, with a hip seam and a row of but
tons telow it. The collar is stitohed to
correspond with the skirt. A little cloth

head covering to go with such a gown. This

SOME SOCIETY STORIES.

{CopyriqMfd.}
New Yore, Nov. 1. —The most conspic
uous womau in New York at present is the
one who is determined to get into society.
THE CRAZE TO GET INTO SOCIETY.
Nine times out of ten, if she is clever at
all, she went abroad five or six years ago,
and now comes back bri .ging with her a
pretty daughter, through whose aid sbe
expect* to enter the portals sacred to the
Four Hundred. Sometimes she succeeds,
sometimes not. Her mentor tells her, “You
must have something special to which
you can invite people.” An opera box is
suggested and this is smiled at, for, be
tween you and me, invitations to the Ger
man opera go begging much oftener than is
supposed. Taen a series of dinner parties
is hinted at aud the instructress m social
ways says, “Oh, of course you roust have
them, but you must have soroelhing else
beside.” The bsst someihmg else besido is a
yacht—a yacht big enough to lake people
down to Bermuda and back, to give them
delightful little trips whenever it may seem
appropriate, and make everybody have a
good time sailing the ocean blue; but evou
a steam yacht isn’t always successful.
IT doesn’t pay to cut a woman.
I heard how a woman who yearned for
higher sassioty, to use a vulgarism, bit off
her nose to spite her face, the other dav.
She had, somehow or other, gotten well ac
quainted with the people who owued a line
of steamships, and when they were going to
give a trial trip party she managed to he
the one who was selected for chuperon. In
looking over the list of names of women
invited, she saw two who were unknown to
her, wiiich, of course, argued to her miod
that they were therefore not worth culti
vating. Because their gowus hadn’t been
described in newspapers, because
there bad been no tnstnonible scan
dal about them, she concluded that
they didn’t amount to anything,
ana ao marked them off her books. What
she didn’t know was this, that the two
women aforesaid had each decli ed the in
vitation, as they wouldn’t go anywhere
ui der the banner of vulgarity aud ill
breeding. Also, what sbe didn’t know was
that these women, though they hadn’t the
wealth of Croesus, were bluer blooded than
the Guelphs, ad both of them ha. e the
entree into a set that would not for oue
minute recognize her. She argued, be
cause they happened to be poor ..d because
they were clever euoug i to earn tbelr liv
ings with brush or pen, that she had
Dothing to get from them, aud, therefore,
they could neither make nor unmake
her. How little she kne v and how little
she saw into the future! T< ese women
have told the story of their snubbing to the
most exclusive set in New Y’ork, aud when
Mrs. Sharp-Pebble makes an effort to know
the Van Rmssilaers, the Schuyler*, the
Kanes, or any of the old people Here, she
will be frozen out until even she recog
nizes the mistake she has made. T. e moral
of this little story is, never cut a woman
simply because she is unknown to you—she
may be tue best friend you ever had or con
stitute herself the worst enemy.
SHE PASSED THROUGH TIRE UNSCATHED.
Apropos of stories there are some funn ■
ones going the rou ids about a very well
known society woman whose name is au
historical oue, and who is the authoress of a
most charming book tnat, in its white and
gold cover, has made u great hit. Bbe is
very enthusiastic, and not. long ago at a
dinner party sad: “Men in this country
don’t know how to love. If you want to
see real love you must go to Russia; there
a mau says: ‘Be mine or you will die.’ ”
Spoken dramatically and with her eyes
flashing, uveryboiv looked immensely in
terested, until a courtly old gentleman rose
up from his chair and bowing most gra
ciou ly responded: “O, ma 'a e, how tha k
ful we are chat you came back to this coun
try alive.”
ROSES THAT BLOOM UNSEEN.
Another is, that after an elaborate dinner
party, and when the ladias were alsne in
the druwi g room, she said, with an air of
agony, “O, dear, how my roses stick into
me." A little woman near her said, “But
you are not wearing roses.” “O, yes, I am,”
answed the gifted o ,e, “I always wear them
in my garters, don’t you?” The rest of tho
party looked unbelieving, but the clever
poseuse. raised ner skirt and showed, caught
in the gold buckle caught in each garter a
bunch of fresh rosebuds with their leaves
and stems; then she added, “Celiso forgot
to take tne ‘..horns off and it has made me
uncomfortable al! evening.”
A NEW YORK WOMAN’S MOURNING.
Still another queer performance coi sisted
in her appearing at a ladies’ luneneon
gowned In the most remarkuble mariner A
relation wnom she despised had just died,
and she was obliged to put on complimen
tary mourning f>r a month. The day was
very stormy, but to the surprise of the
ladies assembled she drove up in an open
carriage holding a large while umbrella
over a white crepe bonnet, while over her
white mu 1 gown was a white waterproof
cloak; gl ives, slippers and stockings were
white; as a guard to her wedding ring she
wore a white pearl and a white pearl brooch
at her throat. Clever, wasn’t it?
MRS. KENDAL’S NEW FROCKS.
The most important event in the theatri
cal world is the return of the Kendals, and
the first night they played hi “The Squire,”
that lovely story of woman’s love, woman’s
faith and woman’s courage, it was proven
to half the smart women iu New York that,
after all, nothing is so beautiful as an abso
lutely plain gown ma te of some sort of
handsome material with just train enough
to be graceful. The three frocks that
“.Squire Kate” wore were in their perfect
simplicity ,the most artistic I have ever
seen. The first was a plain grav stuff made
in the way described, and with it were a
linen collar and linen cuffs and a br ad
briinmed black straw hat, with a bunch of
wild flowers upon it. The next was a
golden brown silk, one of those soft silks
that do not make a frou-frou, out cling in
the prettieet fashion imiginable, and on
the golden brown background were figures
in dull greens and reds, so indistinct that
you merely had an impression tnat there
was some other color, but that it
wasn’t pronounced enough to make
an absolute contrast This was
open a little at the neck and folds of lisse
were just inside. Tne last of all was a
curious shade of grayish groea, probably
of Dengaiine, It was made exactly like the
others. Squire Kate sb jwmtr}her knowledge
of the way an K igiish gentle woman would
dross when she was not rich in this world’s
goods and when her life was confined to
the limit* of a small village. Jewels! Not
a sign of ■ ne. Kate Verity wouideu’t have
possessed any, and the actress is ton true to
her art to pu on “Tne Squire” that which
would be in bad taste, simply to let tae
audience seo what Mrs. Kendal possessed in
the way of rich and rare gems.
PRETTY DAISY KENDAL.
The most precious jewel iu i er collection
was very near me when the Squire made
her bow to au enthusiastic American audi
ence glad to welcome her back, aud that
was the golden-haired girl whom Mrs. Ken
dal calls, “Daisy,” but who is, to the re-t of
the world, kn >*nas Mins Grimsion. An En
glish girl of 17 is one of the most charming
beings in tr.e world, and to Mrs. Kendal’s
daughter tbecnarm would come by inheri
tance if she didn’t possess it her very seif.
That night it was delightfu'Jto '.v*tea her
face; n>t only to see th* expression of in
terna', but the intense delight aud the proD
or pride when sbe knew how realiy and
th roughly New Yorkers lisa the Kendal*.
Vnd last of &>1 when her father made a lit
tle speech, l i answer to the many calls for

NEW YORK’S COM IXO DOLL SHOW.
Did you ever dress a doilt Well, if you
didn’t you have an opportunity to learn
how now. Fur the past eleven yaorj Lon
don Truth has at Christmas time tail a doll
scow, and all the celebrities dressed dolls
that were afterward auctioned off and the
proceeds we,,t to making Christmas bmht
and merry for the sics children In the differ
ent hoipitals. Now we are going to have
just sucu a show, only better—the Ameri
cans always do everything batter, you
know. I have been down to see the 4jXK)
beau ies that are to pose in tha carnival.
Tcere are blonde dolls with brown eyes or
blue eyes, as you may fa icv. There are
dark haired dolls with snapping black eye*
or with great soft blue ones for you to
choose from. They go to sleep, they turn
their heads around, they have hair that
curls and can he combed and brushed, and
they are a!! sizes, from tho>o a foot high to
thuae as big as a 3-year-old child.
FAMOUS WOMEN WHO WILL DRESS DOLLS.
They are going to be grouped by well known
artists, the exhibition will be iu the couce. t
room of the Madison Square Garden, aud
Bil y Florence will auctioneer off the young
ladies. All you have cot to do if you want
to dress a doll is to write and ask that oue
will be sent you, and Mrs. Percy, one of the
prettiest, as well as one of the brightest
New York literary women, wilt send you
just the sort of baby that you want —a
something that the stork coming and >wn the
chimney does not always do, Mrs. Glad
stone is to send a doll, so is Kile i Terry, and
the Duchess d'Uze;—Mrs. Keudal will dress
one, so will Fauny Davenport, Minnie
Palmer, Agnes Huntingdon, ami no end of
fasuionaule women. Silver prizes will be
given for tho most unique, the best dressed
ana the aoil whoso clothes are best sewed,
the object in this last being to encourage
band, ratber than machine sewing.
DOLLS WHICH MEAN HAPPINESS.
I saw a doll dressed os a pansy. Its gown
wss made of bolting cloth, hand painted
with yellow and purple pansies, the bodice
was dec. ratdil the same way, and the little
bonnet on its head was a large, purple
pauty demurely tied under its chin. On its
hands were white kid gloves and in one
was a cluster of the flowers sne so success
fully imitated, it’s a good thl g to have
women to do this bit of sewing required to
dress a doll, because every stiich means a
little bit of hapomess for some sick child,
and don’t you think t.bat whatever you do
for a child is marked down in the judgment
book ad stands to your credit ana may
blot out some great sin.
WHAT IB A MAN?
I had a letter the other day. evidently
from a woman, and she said: c ' would you
nund telling me ‘what is a man?”’ A more
or loss intimate acquaintance with mankind
makes me feel that [ can reply to this ques
tion.
A man is an animal who would scorn
divided skirts and yet spends two hours
selec ing the kind of cloth he wants used
for his trousers.
A man is an animal who can be flattered
and coaxed into unvthing, but once you
start to drive him the mule-like nature is
uppermost.
A man i* an animal who thinks be is a
little iin god on wheel*, aud never realists
that be isn’t until be is down flat on his baok
with the malaria and a woman has to wait
on him.
A man is an auimal who is desirable when
you are in trouble, because tho brute in
him oeiug greater, ho can swear mors and
hit out straighter from the shoulder than
you can.
A mau is an animal who eats the very
best he nun get and who prefers to driuk
tho same quality, but frequently becomes u
tack for bolding bad whisky.
A man is au animal made for the benefit
of woman, and tiie more she can get out of
him in the way of kindness and loye the
more has be fulfilled his duty in life, but
- all his faults we love him still.
Bab.
A Water Monster.
From the PitUburg Dispatch.
A frightrul story has just come to light
which co firms an old ludlau tradition.
About Six miles southeast of Mullen, Id.,
and within a stone’s throw of tha Montana
line, is a small Jake which for beauty,
grandeur and tradition is unsurpassed by
any point of interest in the wild west. It is
to be found at the head of Willow creek, a
north branca of the Coour d’Alene river.
Bt. Stephen's Ft alt, tho most elovated pi int
in the Uoeur d’Alene mountains, towers
over it, and the famous Kt. Joe range of
mountains preveuts its waters from flowing
south into tho Bt. Joe river.
The Indians J ng ago often frequented
this jioiut, and obtained quantities ot almost
Sure lead, from which ! iey made bullets to
i used in the chaf e and raid of warlaro
against other tribe* and the whites. Home
years ago two prospectors left the gold
placer camp of Eagle. It was a hot, sultry
afternoon, and they proposed a bath in the
lake. One of ti e men, being a very poor
swimmer, kept close to the bank, and was
soon standing near the shore watching bis
partner swim in the lake. When he bad
swam about 800 yards from shore he sud
denly turned about ami started back toward
the shore he had left, and hi* friend, who
was standing on the shore watching, saw to
i is horror some water monster pursuing
his partner, who was mating every
exertion to reach shore, but without
avail. A few undulations and a low
rumbling sound, and the monster raieed a
part of itn body out of ibewa er, closed its
mighty jaws upon the unfortunate man,
and both disappeared beneath the lake.
The water was dyed with blood and the
waves wriggled against the shore for a mo
ment end all was still as before. Several
weeks ago a camping partv was located at
the spot. Both fishing and swimming were
indulged iu. Toward evening cries were
heard, and upon investigation it was fouud
that a monster had pulled one of the party
under the water. The unfortunate was a
miner from Helena. Since then large search
ing parties have industriously dragged the
lake.
