A BEAUTIFUL ADVENTURES.
How a Pretty Blonde with Sweet Voice
SwindIed Atlanta.

Atlanta Constitution.
Again mans imperial race has been eusnared
by pretty blonde treSSeS and a siren voice.
About six weeks1ago there appeared at the Ma
tional Hotel lady who might have posed sue
cessfuly for o painters brush. She seemed
about the luscious age of twenty-eight pre-
served so well that she WINS as pretty as the
sunny side of a peach, and had eyes that COM
petely broke up anything THAT came within
range. The lady registered as Miss Annie
Blanchard. and with that name, as pretty as
her bewildering countenance she Launched
her bateau in Atlanta AT ,3la Peach.
tree street Miss Blanchard opened an
art studio, and prepared to turn out artists
pretty much like a man turns out Babbitt
medals at the average exposition. The fair
creature advertised that she had business for
ladies as would call at the artists exchange !"
The artists exchange wasa rare old place. 1t
was elegance on toast, and was calculated to i'm
press the uhwary Miss Blanchard had nice
little scheme. She would teach the art of color
ing photographs and other pictures. She had
an unlimited demand for the work and when the
pupils had learned it, she would employ them at
good pay Ten dollars scholar was charged for
tuition, and eheigot plenty OF them. Then she
employed agents to solicit work and they paid
five dollars each for an outfit consisting of
an album full of pictures. BY pafayzing the
tender pulsoIneters of the book ard picture
dealers, she managed to get in debt to all for
larger or smaller amounts usually about $25.
"A grand art reception was set for yesterday and
many pictures were loaned Shook ''loaned"a
$500 set of furniture. and Miller loaned a
handsome carpet. When the students called
yesterday, gentle Annie had departed these
coasts, and left a long list of creditors and en-
bryotic artists to mourn her untimely taking off.
The lady is a tall brunette with blonde hair,
and has voice that rings like a.silver bell. She
is finely educated brilliant in conversation, and
one of the mourners said last night:
shes q paralyzerl If she were TO bring a
brass monkey in here and offer it for SALE l
would be compelled to invest She's daisy"
