ldella Hotter Mves hi I/*i Angeles,
Cal. To ht-r home not long ago caine
mi express |uu-kage from Washington.
She opened the package and fouml a
phonograph record? nothing else, noth
ing even to show who had seut It.
"I wonder who It Is from?" she said,
Inspecting It from nil points of view,
as women frequently Inspect envelopes
addressed In a strange handwriting,
oblivious for the moment to the ob
vious expedient of Inquiring of the con
tents.
It suddenly occurred to her that pho
nograph records were to be interpreted
through the medium of the phonograph
mechanism, so she promptly put this
one to the test.
"Or-r-r. sc-r-ratch, sque-e-k, rattle,"
and then In clear, familiar tones:
"Dear ldella? Penult me to present
to you Mr. Seth Cabell Halsey, a neph*
'1 AM Bim TO 1CXR YOU, MISS DOTTO."
?w of United States Senator Daniel of
, Virginia. He's a dear friend of ours
and awfully nice. Brer yours, Maud."
Than a pause, and then In manly,
resonant tonee: N
"I am bappy to meet yoa, Mis* Dot
ter."
With those manly tones ringing In her
ears Miss Idella Dotter went right out
and talked Into a phonograph machine:
"Dear Maud-lf Mr. Seth Cabell Hal
sey la within bearing thla la for him:
Very pleased to make your acquaint
ance, Mr, Halsey."
Marked "Confidential," there followed
a lot of question* about tbe owner of
the manly tones, etc. And when the
record was ready Miss Dotter sent it
by express t?\ Miss Maud Hunter,
Washington.
That was the beginning. Mr. Halsey
confided to Miss Hunter that Miss Dot
ter hud the sweetest voice that had
ever fallen on bis ears. Sentiments of
tbe same sort he also confided to a
phonograph record, which he express
ed to Miss Dotter' s address In Los An
geles.
Miss Dotter In a record addressed to
Mr. Halsey made admissions of a simi
lar character. This launched a rapid
fire phonograph rorrespondence, sup
plemented by another through the
malls which facilitated an exchange of
photographs.
But it was one of Mr. Halsey's pho
nogcaph records which contained his
proposal of marriage. After due re
flection. stimulated favorably by a fre
quent hearing of Mr. Halsey's phono
graph lovetnuklug. Miss Dotter for
warded by phonograph the sweet voic
ed "yes" that was little more tbau a
whisper. Four days later she received
a telegram from Mr. Halsey:
"Leave tomorrow for Los Angeles."
There- *s as yet no formal announce
ment of the engagement of Miss Idella
Dotter and Seth Cabell Halsey. In
view of the sturtllng novelty of a
courtship by phonograph the young
woman has preferred to defer that de
rail until they have had opportunity for
a little good o!d fashioned courting.
^ Find* Snake In a Candy Box.
Miss Mary Kelley. a pretty teacher
In the Hamilton school of Wakefield,
Mass.. Is seriously 111 as the result of
what may have been Intended for a
i Joke, but more probably was tbe work
: of a rejected suitor or Jealous rival.
She was recovering from the grip when
i an unknown man delivered at her door
' what appeared to be a box of candy.
; Miss Kelley opened It herself in bed,
| and the moment tbe cover came off
I out leaped a long gr?*en snake, which
| crawled about the bed, frightening her
| into convulsions. After the snake vu
removed she' suffered a relapse and is
In a serious condition. The police are
J trying to trace the box.
When the funeral of Michael Leke
skl, who lived near Independence, Pa.,
reached the grave the body was taken
from tbe casket and a local photogra
pher took a picture of the corpse. Sev
eral other pictures were taken, one of
them a group Including several who
attended the funeral. The purpose was
to send a picture of the dead man to
his wklow in Austria.
