DAISY LCITCK MAY WED
PRINCE FRANCIS OF TECH
S1ZSS LETTER
The arrival of Miss Daisy Letter
end her mother was the prelude to
one of London’s social sensations
last week. They came overland from
Marseilles, bringing eighty-five gigan-
tic boxes, containing stacks of Indian
embroidery and souvenirs of the dur-
bar. Going to Clarldge’s they hardly
had time to rest before “smart” Lon-
don was calling.
Every morning Daisy has been out
for a morning ride in Hyde Park,
along Rotten Row, causing no little
stir with her splendid figure and per-
fect style in the saddle.
Prince Francis of Teck has been
more in the park this week than in
the whole of his life before, and has
been so attentive to Daisy that con-
jecture is rife.
The Letters are to remain in Lon-
don six weeks longer, as Daisy means
to attend court and go to the splen-
did costume ball Mrs. Adair will give
ipay 8. At the ball Miss Letter will
wear her gorgeous empire gown, Mra.
Adair will wear hers, and all the other
people who were at the durbar will
follow suit.
Nearly every smart society woman
In London is arranging a quadrille,
each to represent a different nation,
and a ball will be given for Nelly
Post, Mrs. Adair’s niece.
ATTEMPTS TO MURDER AUTHOR OYSTER CANNING UP TO DATE.
Jealous Woman Fires Several Shots
at Marcel Provost,
j Marcel Prevoet, the famous French
author, had a narrow escape from
death at the hands of a woman
She fired several shots from s
revolver et close range at him. That
he escaped death seems almost a
miracle.
In an article not long ago Prevost
declared all women to be liars, but
said he thought the cause was to be
found In the blundering social rules
that surround and restrain them.
“We must try to believe,” he said,
“that women are purer and better
than we are and they habitually try
to make men believe they are, and
the quickest way to accommodate ap-
pearances to our wishes Is to make, a
lie a living rule of conduct."
He also wrote the following:
“Don Juan certainly promises to
marry two girls at the same time, but
when he makes the promise he never
for a second Intends to keep It, and

Factory at Charlaston, 8. C., Run on
Approved Methods.
“Charlestonians are now greatly In-
terested In an oyster canning factory
which recently began operations In
our city,” said D. J. Merchant, of the
Southern city, to a Star man at the
Arlington. “The factory was built on
the most modern lines, and from the
time of landing the oysters on the
wharf until they are put In the cars
ready for shipment no time is lost
From the wharf they are moved on
miniature cars, rolled Into the open-
ing benchee, where a large number of
hands are at work with the knives.
After opening they are passed to the
canners, only a few yards away, and
soldered up. The cans are taken to
kettles and boiled, and are then ready
for the labeling machine and the pack-
ers and shippers, to be sent by them
to various parts of the country.
“At the close of the oyster season
the factory will he used for the can-
ning of fruits and vegetables, so that

“What would you do, Harry,” asked
a rather vain woman of her little
nephew who had been assuring her

“If your aunt died and your uncle
married again?”
“Why,” replied Harry, without the
slightest hesitation! "I would go to
the wedding, of course.”
