HYMN OF PEACE. These things shall be! A loftier race 1 Than e'r the world has known shall rise, With flame of freedom In their souls And light of knowledge in their eyes. They shall be gentle, brave and strong, Not to spill human blood, but dare All that may plant man's lorsbip Arm On earth and fire and sea and air. Nation with nation, land with land, Unarmed shall live as comrades free; In every heart and brain shall throb The pulse of one fraternity. New art shall bloom, of loftier mold, And mightier music thrill the skies; And every life shall be a song When all the earth is paradise. There shall be no more sin nor shame, And wrath and wrong shall fettered lie; For man shall be at one with God In bonds of firm necessity. J. A. Symonds. MRS. QAAR HOSTES3.

MARRIED 8ATURDAY. The wedding of Mr. Clifford Cooper and Miss Lena Johnson was quietly celebrated Saturday afterinoon at five thirty o'clock in the First Christian church parsonage, the Rev. S. W. Traum performing th' ceremony in the presence of a few frionds and relatives of the contracting parties. The bride wore a blue silk gown and carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. She was attended by Miss Mary Morrow. The groom was attended by Mr. Tom Johnson. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Cooper left for a short wedding trip. Later they will be at home in their newly appointed home in North Fourteenth street where they will be glad to meet their many friends. They have the best wishes of all for a most happy future. OCTOBER MONTH FOR BRIDES. The great wedding month, the only rival of which is June, will begin tomorrow. October is a month for weddings, for it is then the trees have put on their gala dress for a month and there is likely to be an abundance of sunshine for the weddings and for the entertaining preceding them. From first to last there will be a series of ceremonies, from the pretentious to those of simplicity. But no matter how simple a ceremony may be there is always a great amount of work to be done, and the mother of the family is the one on whom the burden of preparations fall most heavily. Often when a daughter is married the mother takes on the attitude of an insurgent and declares she will never "do so much again." But it is usually the case that she is unwilling to let one daughter have a better wedding than another. In one family the first daughter had her wedding in the home with a ceremony for the relatives and a large reception for all the friends. The next one had a big church wedding with a smallareception for the bridal party and relatives at the house. The third daughter had only a pretty and simple wedding in the summer time at the country home, and a fourth daughter had her wedding at home with only the immediate family. In another family every daughter had a big church wedding and a big reception at the home. The larger part of all the arrangements for all the weddings was carried out by the mother of the brides. Usually the mother in planning for a wedding makes a list of all the details and then knows exactly how she stands by consulting her account books. MANY AFFAIRS. The past week has been featured by a number of very chnrming social events. Tuesday afternoon and evening Mrs. W. K. Bradbury gave a large reception at her home in North Fourteenth street as a courtesy to Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Bradbury of Rochester, New York.

A STOIiV TOUJ

A Yarn which Deals with the Occult, Interest in which Is Universal, Despite the Denial of Some Who Secretly Consult Clairvoyants.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Interest in what is sometimes called the occult is universal, although not admitted. People who strenuously deny anything but derision for what is unknown and undefined will be found, on the side, to be patronizing palm- j readers and clairvoyants.

The following tale, or incident, asied Derbyshire and went out of the

you will, may, therefore, take the mo - mentary attention of those curious of penetrating the mysteries behind the Veil: THE GOLD HAIRPIN. Some of us were telling ghost stories over at the Press Club one evening, the talk gradually veering round to apparitions of the living, or what the Germans call "doppelgangers," when Coniston joined us. "This form of the supernatural although what is called 'supernatural' is, I daresay, natural enough if we only knew the law," said Coniston, "has always interested me because of a remarkable instance which came under my notice at one time. "The phenomenon of this double identity is one of fact and not of fancy, as you may know. Stern, a writer of scientific works, had a friend who was frequently seen 'out of the body' as it is termed, and the well known story of Byron being seen on the streets of London while ill in a continental town, was never disproved, although a bet of one hundred guineas was made at the time to test its truth. Goethe, according to the tale he told himself, once met his double riding on a country road. This latter, however, is more properly called 'selfseeing.' "But to go on with my story," he continued. "I was out on the coast, giving readings with Derbyshire one winter. You all know Derbyshire and what a bully fellow he was when he wasn't drinking. Of course 1 had the devil's own time with him and while I swore every day I'd break loose and leave him, he was such a lovable, companionable chap and had such a damned way of talking me over, I usu ally ended by agreeing to stay it out for the season. "Derbyshire had been unusually depressed for several days, always seeming especially so after receiving certain letters in blue envelopes which I observed, at first, he got with some frequency, although they fell off later. No matter what the importance of the balance of his mail, these were seized upon and opened first. "One night after a successful entertainment in a large coast town, with several rounds of drinks at a local club from which I managed to drag Derby shire before he reached the hopeless stage, I could not, for some reason, get to sleep. "Derbyshire and I had adjoining rooms and, after an uneasy doze, I turned over in bed surprised to see the door between our rooms, which I thought I had closed, wide open, with the light turned on in Derbyshire's room, and Derbyshire sitting on the edge of his bed evidently in great distress. He was bowed over, his elbows on his knees, his face in his hands, and I distinctly heard him sobbing and talking to himself. "I started to go to him when he raised his head and I hesitated. I think I never saw such woe on a human countenance. He stretched out his arms and called "'Dear, forgive me! I didn't Intend to hurt you. I was a brute a beast an inhuman monster! My darling my darling that I should have hurt you so cruelly! My love my love my dear one, come to me come to me! he retiterated. "On the moment I heard a tap on his outside door. He bent forward rigidly. " 'Well?' he said. "Another moment of deathly silence and then the door, which he evidently had neglected to lock, opened, closed, and against it. with her hand still on the handle, stood a girl with big, dark, sad eyes. She had on a yellow evening gown, cut square in the neck with short sleeves, and she made a picture, by Jove, silhouetted against the dark wood of the door. " 'Ithought I heard you call,' she whispered in a frightened way, 'and I I couldn't stay away from you any longer!" "Derbyshire's face was irradiated with joy. 'Why my darling my sweetheart!" he cried. And with that she went over to him, sat down on the edge of the bed and drew his head down to her breast. But he slid down, down, until he was on the floor at her feet, kissing her dress and saying he was not fit to touch the hem of her skirt. "'Don't, dear, don't!' she murmured. 'I know you didn't mean it I knew you weren't yourself.' and she raised him up and pulled his head down on her shoulder again, murmuring the most delicious endearments, while he clung to her with convulsive sobs. "After a time she made him lie down, tucking him in as a mother would her child, and he, like a tired little boy, put his arms round her neck and kissed her and made her promise she wouldu't go away, while she smoothed his hair and stroked his forehead until he went off to sleep. "All this time I was sitting up in bed staring. I saw her walk up to the mirror, straighten her dress and touch her hair in that indefinable way women have, you know and then she turned and ran to the bed. bending over him and kissing him in a way so ! he wouldn't waken " 'Dearest dearest!" she whispered. "Afterward she walked round the room straightening Derbyshire's things he Was a careless wretch. She touched them softly. Sometimes she j Unshed to herself laugh of pure 1 fctaa an car' a Oaee the bur-j

"Suddenly she started up with her finger on her lips and tiptoed over to the dressing-table where Derbyshire's watch ticked. She bent over it fixedly for a moment and then, going over to i.-co, .jot1 door. j don t know how Boon after j feU a8ieeP but it was late when I wakened. T iumned nut nf Hori and ran tn tha door between our rooms which I saw was closed. "I found it Locked On My Side. "I unlocked the door and went into Derbyshire's room. He was just awake. " 'By jove,' he said stretching out his arms 'by Jove!' "Then he looked at me. " 'Hello old chap,' he said. "'Have you slept well?' I asked curiously. " 'Yes,' he replied, sitting up in bed and holding his head with both hands, 'I believe I have. But I dreamed some damn fine dreams, Billy,' he added whimsically. " 'I dreamed, too,' I replied. " 'Did you notice the door open between our rooms last night?' I asked with studied carelessness. " 'No, said he. 'I thought you closed it when you went to bed. Fact is I remember now of hearing you turn the key in the lock,' he added, 'and wondered why.' " 'Oh, an unconscious action,' I said. " 'But, Billy,' he continued, T had such a dream last night! It was as real as life. My my sweetheart came to me here and was so heavenly good and sweet to me he bit his lip and the tears started. 'Why I saw her as plainly as I do you now it was so real it must have been true must! ! But what's the matter, Bill,' he asked suddenly. "I hesitated. Then I told him. "Derbyshire jumped up and made a tour of inspection round the room. His effects were straightened out as I told him. Standing by the dressingtable I heard him gasp. I went over to him and he held up a small gold hairpin. We looked at each other without saying a word. "He ran to the door which opened into the hall. It was Locked On The Inside. "'George! !' said Derbyshire. "Just then a tap on the door announced a bell-boy who had a telegram for Derbyshire. He tore it open and then handed it to me. "'Are you ill? What is the matter. Shall I come to you? Tell me what to do. Helene.' "To make a long story short'," went on Coniston, "Derbyshire couldn't break his engagements, so she came out a thousand miles overland to him and they were married in San Francisco. There had been unhappiness, an estrangement, family opposition and all the rest. But good God! when they got together they were so happy it was pitiful." "Oh yes, thosethings don't last," said Yardsley in the pause that followed. Yardsley's a cynic. No one paid any attention to him. "But but " said Clarkson, who belonged to the Society for Psychical Research. "Well," went on Coniston, "It was a strange thing. She told Derbyshire that on that night she had been out to a party of some sort and, after her return, while standing in front of her dressing table before making preparations for bed, heard some one calling. She said she stopped and listened intently. And that she distinctly heard, in Derbyshire's voice, these words " ' my love my love my .dear one, come to me come to me.' "That she felt so impelled to go at once and without delay that she started to get her evening wrap, which she had flung on a chair just inside the door, but that while walking toward the door Ehe lost all consciousness of her surroundings. That when she came to herself she was lying on the floor so stiff and rigid she found it impossible to move. That when she finally recovered the use of her muscles, she was so unnerved she was unable to make her voice heard but that a passing servant entered the room and told her it was morning "She at once sent the telegram to Derbyshire received by him about an hour later. "No," in answer to a question, "she had no recollection of anything. All was a blank from the time she knew herself to be walking toward the door until she recovered consciousness. "And the curious thing is," continued Coniston, "that when Derbyshire asked her what sort of a dress she was wearing that evening, she told him a yellow evening gown, cut square in the neck with short sleeves. "And that just before she heard him call, she had taken one gold hairpin from her hair and laid it on the dressing-table." "How do you account for the hairpin?" asked Clarkson. "I don't account for it," said Coniston picking up his hat, which he had dropped on the floor, and leaving us. MASONIC CALENDAR Monday. Oct. 2. Richmond ComUitndery No. 8, K. T., stated Conclave.
