Mrs. Elizabeth Bowman, who died at
Corydon, Ind, few days ago, was l04
years of age. When she was girl her
father moved into the country of the
Shawanee Indians and she witnessed
many encounters between the pioneers
and the redskins.
In no court, says London Truth, are
more beautiful women to be seen than
In England; but 1t is to be regretted
that more pains are not taken to teach
graceful walking. Even In ballroom,
what with high heels and tide back
skirts, the art OF progression is far too
much neglected by Englishwomen.
