The room, with its book-lined walls bits, of colored proclain and carved silver—artists’ dreams in marble and on canvas—was beautiful enough, but the slim, sweet, timid creaturve, in her silver-gray dress, was radiant.

But there sat Miss Eva Ingersoll in a little slipper chair, beaming in the loveliness of her youth and beauty, and this is what she had to say regarding the Rev. Dr, Peck’s address before the general conference of the Southern New England Methodist societios: “‘That 15 about the fifth time I have joined the church, in print, and it is so ridiculous because neither my sister nor myself hus ever attended service.

A Mexican Romance, It was during the long cold spell of the winter, three yea snow fell and lay for months in the mountain gorges, that business took me over the Comanche Pass, from the Chilili country, east of the Manzano range, to the plains west of the Rio Grande, says an Albuquerque corre- spondent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Over the Pedernals to the east the faint glow of a sullen sun crowned their white summits with a fleece of clouds that augured ill for this journey. Beyond the village of Chilili the way led di- rectly to the mountains over the old trail that had for years been the fight- ing ground of the Navajosand M cans, The snow lay one great white, glistening mass as far as the eye could see to the eastward.
