The player at the end of the line repeated the story thus:
"A woman named Mrs. Siegfried Schleiermacher mar­ried for his money a man named Ikey Goldsmith, but found that he had given away all his property to his wife's relations. It was suspected that she so hated him that she poisoned him."
THE SOCIETY COLUMN
{Celebrated Poets as Reporters) The questions in this game are answered by the names of the wearers of the costumes. Question 1:
"A gown of grass-green silk she wore Buckled with golden clasps before; A light-green tuft of plumes she bore Closed in a golden ring." Question 2:
"Her mantle rich whose borders round A deep and fretted 'broidery bound, In golden foldings sought the ground." Question 3:

"A chieftain's daughter seemed the maid, Her satin snood, her silken plaid, Her golden brooch such birth displayed."
