, A 3101993 SCENE.

The Weed—Gardiner Ouarrel-

Breaks Out Again in
New Canaan.

Bates Wanted Pay for Repairing Weed’s
Bicycle Before Releasing It.

Mrs. Daisy Gardiner, whq‘ recently
secured a. divorce in Oklahoma from
Andros “feed, will, it is announced,
shortly begin an action to recover money
alleged to be due for the board of Weed
and herself at the time he was her hus,~
band. This move is attributed to the
fact that \Veed has recently, through
demands made by Justice Frank Bliss
and executed. by Constable Marvin
Merrill,demanded the return of wed-
ding presents and other .property, some
of which she claims was bought with
her own money. The value of this
prOperty is estimated by her at $235
An attempt will be made to get it back
from 'Weed by a writ of replevin. The
question as to whether the Dakota di-
vorce is good in this State would nat-
urally be an issue in the trial of the
proceedings referred to.

Meanwhile the quarrel between the
TVeed and Gardiner families has mani-
fested itself in another form, as will be
seen by the following story, from a cor-
respondent of the Stamford Advbcate
in New Canaan; -

Last Saturday evening C. F. Bates,
the jeweler, H. S. Weed and Andros
Weed gave a grandexhibition on Main
street, especially of their vocal powers,
which drew forth a large gathering.
For some little time past Bates has
been a warm friend of the Gardiner
family, and Andros Weed has told his
friends that there would come a time
some day that the young jeweler would
hear from him. Saturday night seemed
to be a splendid chance for the Weeds.
The start of the fracas was caused by
Bates repairing a bicycle for “Tillie,
one of the “Teeds who figures about
town as an up-to-date young man. The
charge was one dollar, and the wheel
“Tillie could not obtain until the dol-
lar was paid. Consequently, Hanford
S., assisted by Andros, paid a visit to
the cycle quarters. After a long argu:
ment on family affairs, in which the
matrimonial affairs of Andros figured,
the elder brother made an attempt to
get at Bates, but was pulled away by
Hanford. Grand Juror Benedict de-
cided he would not allow such a per-
formance in the village if it was in his
power to stop it. It was necessary for
an officer to clear the sidewalk in
order to give pedestrians room. The
affair Came to a close, but the Weeds
Chauncey, another of
the Weeds, also put in an appearance,
and delivered an oration on the subject
Bates says he thinks he
is a winner yet.

Lord Byron suffered from. various
annoyances to which all famous per-

lowing letter, which has recently been
published for the first titre. It was
addressed to the editor of G-alignani’s
Messenger, Paris, and was dated from
Venice, Italy, April 27, 1819:

“Sir: In various numbers of your
journal I have seen mentioned a work
entitch ‘The Vampire,’ with the addi-
tion of my name as that of the author
I am not the author, and never heard
of the work in question until now. In
a more recent paper I perceive a for-
mal annunciation of ‘The Vampire;
with the addition of an account of my
‘residence in the island of Mltylenc’—
an island which I have occasionally
sailed by in the course of traveling
some years ago through the Levant,
and where I should have no objections
to reside, but where I have never yet
resided. Neither of these perform-
ances are mine, and I presume that ii
is neither unjust nor ungracious to re-
quest that you will favor me by con-
tradicting the advertisement to which
I allude. If the book is clever, it

'would be base to deprive the writer,

whoever he may be, of his honor, and
if stupid, I desire the responsibility of
nobody’s dullness but my own.”

The noblest‘sons otGermanydevpte
their best energies to cultivating mus-
tnches. The Emperor William sets:
them an example.

His Majesty possesses the newest
and most successful mustache trainer
in Germany. It Is an arrangement di-
vided in the center by a buckle. On
each side of the buckle is a- strip of
ribbon, lined with pink netting, pen
mittlng ventilation. At the end 01'
each ribbon is a. tiny comb.

Hls .Majesty’s valet places the
buckle in the centre of His Majesty’s
mustache and combs the ends of the
imperial mustache toward His Majes-
ty’s ears. The ends of the ribbon can
then be fastened by pieces of elastic
to the ears. The little cdmbs lie down
and cause no annoyance. '
'The mustache trainer can be worn
all night, and if the whiskers are long
enough, the result is sure to be most
warlike and impressive. The Emperor
has a very fine mustache. The ends
are long and sharp and point toward
his ears as straight and stlffly as if
they were made of steel. They might
perhaps have been turned in thatdt
motion by a very strong and steady
wind blowing in his face. In any cas—r
they are thoroughly emblematic of hi:
swift and energetic nature.

CARE OF Tl-IE HANDS.

. Hands of Growing Children.

No woman of refinement will, .disrer
gard the appearance of her hands, be-
cause these useful members are al-
ways iu evidence, and cannot be over-
looked in the general estimate of her
appearance. To a certain extent the
care which a woman takes of her
hands indicates her character. Con-
trary t0 the popular impression, soft,
white hands are difficult to attain, be-
cause nothing of value is procured
without effort. .

lied. puffy hands are often caused
by wearing gloves which are too small
or fasten too tightly.

The best gloves to wear are those of
animal skin. such as kid, buckskin and
ilocskin. The hands should be ex-
posed to the sun and winds as little as
possible, and hot water is sure to in-
iure any skin, be it on hands or face.
Lifting heavy objects, excessive bicy-
cle practice and wearing rings too
small inevitably result in disfigure-
inents.

Parents should take special pains to
care for the hands of their growing
children, for early neglect often do-
stroys the possibility of future excel¥
;ence. In order to acquire a soft,
white hand, great care must be ob-
served in the selection of preparations
and toilet soaps. Nothing exceeds the
quality of pure olive soap of Spanish
make; all highly colored and very fra-
grant soaps should be avoided. Vio-
lent lmnd shaking is detrimental to\
the hand. and is avoided by many peo-

Women as Artistic Bookbinders.
Women are constantly finding new
avenues of employment open to them,
but bookbinding is one which has been
taken up with great interest and very
satisfactory remuneration by cultivat-
ed women in England. In old times the
nuns did this sort of work very suc-
cessfully, and, beside binding their re-
ligious books, they embroidered the
covers and painted the margins. Some
of the practical work in bookbindlng
has been done by women for some
time, but now it is the artistic side
which engages their attention; The
adornment of the book and the art of
representing the sentiment of the in-
side on the cover is one which. requires
training and study, expensive lessons,
and the purchase of expensive tools.
Original designs bring good prices, so
the successful bookbinder must be an
artist in her line of work. S
New York has cue woman who has

thoi'oughly studied the subject ln-both
London and America, being prompted
to do so simply by her love for books
and not for any money which she
might make out of it. She has one pu-
pil, so she cannot long claim the dis-
tinction of being the only woman do-
ing artistic bookbindlng here—New
York Sun.

The Dog Carries" an Umbrella.

' On a quiet little thoroughfare letting
off of St. Charles avenue, New Or-
leans, there might have been seen dur-
ing'the heavy rain the other day, a. big
shaggy Newfoundland dog carrying a
spread umbrella. in his, mouth, his drip-
ping tail sticking out from under and
wagging complacently. ‘

Investigation revealed the fact that
there was a little girl under the um-
brella with the dog, and the two were
tripping along most amicably. “My name
is Marie,” said the little maid upon be—
ing questioned, “and this is Beaure-
gard, my very own dog. Yes, Beauty
goes to schoolpwith me. I go to the
kindergarten, you know, and he 3.].
ways carries the umbrella if it’s rain-
ing, because I can’t, you see, and he
can.” "

And the big'umbrella sheltering the
two friends passed on. '
