To Mystery.
Mrs. John VV. Halpine, jr., until

lace in a telephone booth of the
Cooper Carlton hotel in Chicago.
As Mrs. Halpine, who is honey
mooning in Chicago, entered the
phone booth to call her number, she
stepped on some object, tried to kick
it to one side, then stooped, picked
it up and found she was gazing upon
one of the most perfect pearl neck
laces she had ever seen. ,
The pearls were perfectly matched
and colored, and a diamond plati
num clasp assured ner tney were
geruine.-
She called her husband, who was
standing nearby, and after the two
had feasted their eyes on the beau
tiful necklace for a time, they re
gretfully made inquiries about the
hotel to find the owner, but without
success. , 1
See Story in Paper.
The next morning they took the
necklace to a jeweler in the Mar
shall Field store, and learned its
true value.
"Of course we wanted to return
the pearls, but our hearts really
sank when we saw a long account
of their being lost in the afternoon,"
said young Mrs. Halpine. in a letter
received by her mother, Mrs. Owen
McCaffrey, here yesterday. "We im
mediately called the young woman
who lost them, Mrs. Irwin Zeister
of Hyde Park, and she came to the,
hotel and identified them as the
' pearls she had lost,
v "She had been dining at the
Cooper Carlton the Saturday night
before and 'they had slipped from
her neck while she was in the tele
phone booth and lain there until the
next morning when I found them.
Gift From Father.
"They had been given her by hei
father two years before. Her father
had died since and she burst into
tears when she saw that she had
really recovered them. They were
her dearest possession.
"Husband and I consider finding
the pearls a good omen lor our
future married life, too, so every
body is happy.
Mrs. Halpine is the daughter of
Mr, and Mrs. Owen McCaffrey, 1021
Park avenue. She and Mr. Halpine
had been honeymooning in Chicago
but three days when the pearls were
found. They will return to Omaha
