WOMAN'S WORLD

(Conducted by "Eileen") STRANGE TALE OF TWO HUSBANDS WOMAN CHARGED WITH BIGAMY ON HER OWN CONFESSION. A woman's strange confession was the feature of a case at Westminster Police Court, London, when Florence Calladfne, aged thirty-one, of Aylesford street, Plimlico, was charged, on her own confession, with committing bigamy. Inspector Emptage said that the previous evening the woman entered the Rochester Row Police Station and said, "I wish to give myself up for committing bigamy at Windsor in 1003, when I married a Mr. Coyle." She then vountarily made a statement, which was reduced to writing and signed by her. Mr. Frances (the magistrate): I see by this she says she first married a soldier, who deserted her after three days. Then she married another man, lived with him for some time, and then she went back to the first man. Next she leaves him for the second one, remains with him for several years, and then gives herself up for bigamy. Daniel Coyle, the second "husband," said he went through a form of marriage with the accused at Windsor Registry Office in November, 1903. Mr. Francis: Did you know she was a married woman? — Witness: Yes, sir. Mr. Francis: You had better be careful what you say. You are not obliged to incriminate yourself. CHARGE OF ABETTING. The witness went on to say that they lived together until April, 1904, when the woman left him. She returned early in January the following year, and they had been together ever since. There were two children.

Mr. Francis: Did she go away with Calladine ?

Witness: I don't know, sir, beyond her own words. I did not know there was such a man, hut according to her own statement she had been living with him again. The prisoner: I wrote and told you I was going back to my husband.

The witness at first admitted this was so and then denied it, adding that to the best of his recollection the woman wrote that she intended to destroy herself. Her mother afterwards wrote.

t The prisoner:: No, I wrote and told you that you had no claim on me. Mr. Francis (to the witness): Do you know what became of the certificate of the first marriage? Witness: Yes, I destroyed it. Mr. Francis said that at present he did not see much difference between the I man and the woman, and thought the police ought to have legal assistance.

He remanded the accused. Later in the day the man was charged by Inspector Emptage with aiding and abetting the woman, and he, too, was remanded.

* ON BRINK OF ABYSS WOMAN MOUNTAINEER'S NARROW ESCAPE. Mrs. Bullock—Workman's expedition, which has just returned from an expedition in the Himalayas, has completed the exploration of the Siachen glacier, which is fifty miles long, in the Karakoram Mountains. She made the first ascent of a high peak and discovered and ascended four new cols of geographical i«f»rtance, \ ranging from 19,000 ft to 21,000 ft in height. One of these cols connects the Siachen glacier 'with the unexplored Kondus glacier. The caravan returned by the Kondus. All the camps were for six weeks above the 17,000 ft level. The party completely surveyed the Siachen glacier and also its affluents. In addition to the guide who was kill- ' ed in an avalanche, the woman explorer had a miraculous escape on the brink of an abyss. It appears that when the avalanche surprised a party killing a guide, there were miraculous escapes from death among the party, which was then on the brink of an abyss. MARRIAGE OF PIERPONT MORGAN'S I NIECE ! ROMANCE OF THE HIGH SEAS. ' Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan's niece, Miss Janet Goodwin, was married recently at Hartford, Connecticut, the home of the bride, to Lieutenant Harry T. Davidson, Royal Navy Reserve, and second officer of "the White Star liner Canopic. The marriage was the outcome of a romance of the high seas, which commenced with the meeting of Miss Goodwin with the young Englishman on board the Canopic when the vessel was on a Mediterranean trip, and by the apparent falling in love of the young couple at first sight. By a coincidence, Miss Goodwin returned to America by the Canopic, and on her arrival in the United States the engagement was formally announced. Mr. i Davidson arrived at Boston late on the night of September 18 as a passenger in the White Star liner Arabic. Considerable anxiety was felt by the young officer and his friends on board lest the ship should fail to make her port in time, and thus prevent the prospective bridegroom from proceeding to Hartford in time to claim his heiress-bride. The Arabic's passengers, however, declare that the captain knew Mr. Davison's predicament, and pushed the vessel to such an extent that she made almost a record fast trip from Liverpool to Boston. As Mr. Davison stepped across the gangplank for a quick examination of his baggage by the Customs officials, he received the heartiest congratulations from the ship's officers and passengers alike, who were more pleased than they could say that the romantic ocean race had been won. Miss Goodwin is said to have an income of over £2OOOO a year, and the marriage ia stated to meet with the full approval of her famous uncle.

USEFUL HINTS When, washing real lace, rinse it finally in skimmed milk. This will give it a soft creamy tint. Silver or plate that has been lying by for some time, or has not been properly cleaned, is often so discolored that it is impossible to remove the stains with ordinary whiting or plate powder. But if the whiting or powder is mixed to a rather thin pfnte with salad oil, well rubbed and brushed into every crevice, left for a few hours, and the silver then washed and el lined in the usual way, every vestige of stain will have vanished. To remove labels from jars.—Before placing the jars to soak rub a little wet soap upon the labels. This will soften them, and they will peel off quite quickly and with very little trouble. To clean windows i asily, rub the panes with a piece of soft linen wetted with common vinegar. Then polish with a clean dry cloth, and your windows will be beautifully clean.
