Social and Personal f_r*' HAT "old things have passed ' away and all things have be *" come new" was especially cm phaslzod Saturday morning, when the attention of Franklin Street was di? rected toward a pretty young girl rid? ing astride a well groomed horse with as much up! imb as If she had done lit? tle else since he/ babyhood. The con? trast between this Jaunty figure and her grandmother, the beauty of whose' riding habit was measured by the sweep of its length and the slant of her plumed hat, showed the long dis? tance that the social world lias trav? eled between tlie then and the now. Most of tiie spring months Rich? mond's most fashionable young girls have b'-en attending a ilding school, and with the advent of the fall hunt? ing season there.will be ?jitlte a lurge audition of charming young g'rls to the weekly runs of the Deep Hun Hunt.

Lieutenant Charles E. Brillhart. U. S. N., committed suicide in New York Thursday. left here yesterday to go to York, Pa., where her hutband'3 body was taken frotrl New York, and where the funeral took place to? day. Mrs. Brillhart was accom? panied by her father, Whitman Osgood; her mother and her aunt, Mrs. C. E. Clifton. The letter written to Mrs. Brillhart by her husband, and found lying near him after he had killed himself, and later mailed to Mrs. Brillhart by the New York authorities, was received by her father here and opened and read by him. Letter Gives No Clue. Mr. Osgood declared that the letter threw no light on the suicide of Lieu? tenant Brillhart; that it was an af? fectionate letter, saying that the young officer hoped soon to be home. There was no suggestion that he was contemplating suicide in the letter, which contained not more than lifty words. After saying that he hoped to be home soon, Lieutenant Brillhart asked after his wife's health. The letter was carefully written and \ sealed, showing no signs of h/stc or disorder. Mrs. Brillhart hBS been so unnerved ! since the news of her husband's death reached her that she saw no one to? day at her apartment in the Cairo, ex? cept members of her family. No Navy Deportment Inquiry. The Navy Department will accept tho report of the suicide of Lieutenant Brillhart from New York, and will make no further investigation of the matter, it was stated to-day by Acting Secretary of the Navy Beekman Win? throp. ??Appreciating the sorrow the. un-. fortunate affair must cause his rela-' tlves. the department has no desire to keep the suicide of Lieutenant Brill hart in the eyes of the public," said Mr. Winthrop. In the opinion of Mr. Osgood, the suicide of Lieutenant Brlllhard came as the result of overwork. He pointed out that Lieutenant Brlllhard had worked hard over the inquiry which I followed the collision between the Dol? phin and the motor boat Culprit Fay, and that after this strain he had continued his work as Inspector of ordnance at the navy yard without taking a rest. Mr. Osgood declared that the continued overwork had brought on a nervous breakdown. WILL GIVE UP FINGER TO EDUCATE DAUGHTER Chicago Woman Aurer-? to Sell Digit to Phlladclphlan Who Lost Hers.
