BOLIVAR, Tenn, April Fri
day evening after the patients dance,
a dance was given at the Western
Hospital to Miss Blanche Wood, of

nished.
Miss Alice Mitchell, the slayer of
Freda Ward, who is patient at the
institution, gowned in light gray cash
mere, was present at both dances, and
seemed to enjoy herself thoroughly.
Her emaciation is startling, but not
even as much so as it was two months
since. She seemed to be in social
and genial humor, chatting and dane
ing gaily with the visitors. In speak
ing with young lady from Bolivar,
Miss Mitchell replied in answer to a
query as to her weight: "Oh don't
know; about seventy pounds, sup
pose, and | don't care how much
more lose,
Ono, | don't care to dance or have
anything to do with the Bolivar boys,
for | know they want to meet me
merely from curiosity" Yes, she was
very happy at the asylum, and they
were as kind as possible to her, etc.
Then she refused repeatedly several
visiting men, but consented to dance
with the male attendants. About two
weeks ago she was allowed to &C
with her attendant, to Whiteville,
where Miss Rosa Burford, her at
tendant for number of years, wa;
married. st. Louis Chronicle.
