Their home IS where Mr.. Gibson WoTk
lies. IN the Life Building.
The Gibson girl came along the first
week in February. She is quite different
from her previous types. and on LOOKING
over Mr. Gibsou's work you are struck by
the fact that he. an artist OF such VIDE IL
Illustrative range. should have drawn so
few babies. As Mr.. Gibson is notorious
for drawing those nearest him. he will un-
doubtedly place the girl in his next
sketches.
Mrs. Gibson. the mother of the girl Is
one Of the most attractive women not
only OF the South, but Of the world. Her
figure is her distinguishing characteristic
until YOU know her. Then her talents
ercbain YOU. She is very tall, almost as
tan AS her big. reed-like husband, Yet mag

But in the dover that fades not. that
cannot be given away and that will no'

don't you know, so I sent them without
a name" With this modest in-the-back-
ground opinion a little talent is bound TO
add to itself from It's ever-obseyant meek
ness.
From her mother the Gibson girl gets the
constitution of an athlete. Irene Lang
horne was the finest horse-woman in Nir-
GINA She could ride anything and across
anything. She could also dance, dance out
all the bellies of Baltimore. But she has
another talent. that Of music. She is the
owner of a magnificent voice that could
easily take her upon the stage in opera,
grand or otherwise 1t has a marvellous
range. is highly cultivated and is probably
the finest voice in the world off the stage.
She uses it frequently but only for char
itv. being much I'm demand for benefit per-
formances and church musicales. She has
never sung for money, all the proceeds
being donated 10 the cause Of good works.
Mr.. Gibson is very tenacious Of this voice,
and. though he does not object 10 syly
tuckirg his wife's beautiful face in his
pictures he most decidedly objects to loan
ing her voice.
Mrs. Gibson, by the way, is only twenty
five years old. though her powerful figure
her dignity and her beauty make her seem
older Indeen she has been taken to be
the senior of her husband whose birth
days began four years before her owr.
Mr.. and Mrs Gibson are q singularly
loving couple. Since their marriage Mrs

old friends for her husbands. and at her

ANTHONY STILL NOT RAIDED YET
Revenue Officers Awaiting the DIS
trict Attorneys Opinion.

The dehnance hurled at the head or
Deputy Fuller Gaskins by the tribe OF
Anthony, when that official visited Louisa
county for the purpose of placing
under arrest a member Of the family who
was believed to have set at naught the
law governing the distillation of whiskey'
has so far passed unnoticed.
1t is two months or more since Deputy
Gaskins returned from his quest, utterly
baflled and nonplused. At that time
there were rumors in the department
that the course of justice could not be
so lightly turned aside and plans were
laid on an extensive scale for the raiding
of the Anthony property and the whole
sale arrest of the family. 1t was said
that certain old indictments which were
in allegiance, would be revived, and the
family would be provided for and the
still broken up.
The posse that was to be sent was to
be fully equipped, for Deputy Gaskins
had found the entrance to the still-room
guarded by a sentinel armed with a
formida ble-looking ride. upon the occa-
sion of his memorable visit. Recruits for
the posse were not hard to find. and
everything was in readiness, when 1t
was decided, before taking any steps, 10
refer the matter TO the United States
District Attorney for his advice as TO
the legality Of the proceedings. Up TO
the present no advice has been received,
and the department is confronted with an
exceedingly knotty problem to solve for
themselves i'm the mean while.
