Adams. Mrs. Fred Angle, James R. Fleming. C. Kembar, Daisy Ressler. J. D. Thundrie, Mrs. Joseph Welled. Persons calling for these letters and cards will please say "advertised.” A letter carrier delivered a letter at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Barton of Paterson. N. J., fourteen years ago. The letter was addressed to Mr. Barton, and, as he was busy at the office, his wife received it from the ‘postman. Mrs. Barton, whose husband is one of the leading real estate dealers of Paterson, had only been married two vears. The note was written on perfumed pink paper and the address was in a woman's hand. Following a few moments over Hie teakettle spout, it was an easy hiatter to ascertain the contents of the epistle. And right there was where the trouble started, for the letter was to the effect that the writer was unable to meet "Dear Louis" at a certain place and suggested another rendezvous. It was signed, "Loving I ly, Sadie.” When Mr. Barton returnfed home, there was a quarrel, and in November. 1901, the couple parted. They have both lived in Paterson ever Since, but never have been reconciled. —o MRS. SCHAFER BURNED Well Known Lady Os Walnut Street Scalded Today.
