 Yesterday and Confirms Rumors.

Coroner w. H. Tice went to Mt. Meigs yesterday to investigate the killing of a negro woman by Bonnie Ray, young white man.
 The Coroner returned to Montgomery yesterday afternoon. There were no new developments in the case. It appears that Ray, with a negro man and a negro woman, were in a room when a pistol was discharged and the woman was killed. Ray and the negro both claimed
 MT. Judlxins was deputized as Coroner. and he empanelled jury of three white men and three negroes to investigate acouittaI and one for conviction. The negro who was in the room at the time of the killing stated later that Ray de- liberately shot the woman.
 The jury could not agree and they were discharged. Mir. Judkins then had Ray arrested and sent him to Montgom- cry with a negro deputy, but the young man escaped from the deputy near Oak Grove and has not been seen since.

The day is gone by when a girl can slip
an elaborate evening waist over her
tailor made skirt and feel well dressed.
The new skirts are made of crepe de
chine in pale gray and white, and they
are fairly covered with tucks and in
sertion- Ribbon skirts are as fashion
able as were ribbon waists last season.
They are made of inch wide ivory satin
ribbon and pongee colored insertion. A
recent fad is to have both waist and
skirt of transparent lace and to have
the skirt made over a silk slip of the
same color as the waist, but shade
darker. I saw this idea carried out in
two shades of yellow. and the effect
was very good.

Russian girls try to find out whom
they viii wed by the aid of certain time
honored charms.
At midnight the girl who is tired Of
single blessedness sits between two
large mirrors. On each side she places
a candle and then eagerly watches until
she can see II reflected lights. If the
fates be kind, she should also see the
face of her future husband.
Another plan is to have supper laid
for two and to sit down alone to eat it.
If all goes well, the apparition of the
future husband comes and takes the
vacant place In order to insure the
success OF this charm the girl must not
tell any one of her intention of trying it.
A story is told of a girl. the daughter
of rich farmer. who fell in love with a
certain young lieutenant. He. suspect
ing that she would have a supper laid
for him, climbed over the garden wall
and partook of the feast, the girl all the
time supposing him to be merely an ap-
partition.
On leaving the lieutenant forgot his
sword, which he had laid aside before
sitting down to supper The girl who
found the weapon after its owners de-
parture, treasured it as a memento of
the visit. Later on she married another
man, who fancied he had a rival in her

first they read every word and COM
pared notes on it; that was during the
first ten letters.
Then they only read out passages here
and there and took surreptitious peeps
to see how many pages there were to
TIE end. Then they skipped openly and
yawned now and then; this was during
the next 20 illusions. Finally they
looked Al each other and groaned aloud.
This IS too awful" they said.
And they burned the whole lot in the
garden
Sometimes Sorrowful interest makes
the reading of the old letters too pain
full for any one to try. When the late
king of Spain married his first wife-a
love match-he gave her as a betrothal
gift a golden casket to hold all the love

not a year after the marriage. she was

them again intolerable to him.

given to young couples is to burn their
love letters on the honeymoon. not that

young couple in existence. however, fol-

WHY DO THEY7

Now. there is nothing in the least
amusing in the man or in any of
these observations. yet the girls. like
those of their age and sex. are in
commissions of smoker. Why should
they be?
A young lady. being interviewed on
this theme. says that girls at their
green age cannot always make talk in
company, so they giggle to fill in an
awkward silence She thinks some
times. too. the older ones among
them do it to show that women
have a sense of humor. whereof an
enemy has said their sex is destitute.
But both these reasons together fail
to account for the vast amount OF
tee-hee and hee- hee that very young
persons of the feminine sex put out
upon the ambient atmosphere They
giggle when they are surprised and
when they are pleased. giggle when
they are embarrassed and when they
are amused and for nothing at all.

1 never saw such a collection of bright
colors as did yesterday at the Casino.
Not only bright colors, but odd shades
and combinations One stunning young
woman wore a gown Of turquoise fou-
lard heavily crisscrOssed with cream
lace. Here and there were striking lit
tie touches of pale lavender panne. and
the most daring bit of all was a big
chou of lavender chiffon with dangling
velvet ends. The gown looked ike a bit
of imprisoned moonlight, and it was
charming to q degree simply for the
reason that it set off the wearer's brill
liant complexion and masses of dark
hair. Now. I happened to know the
original complexion of that girl, and,
like that of most brunettes. it was pale
and colorless. If she had let nature
alone. she would have looked like a
corpse. I know very well the thought
in your minds You are saying to your
selves. Why on earth didn't she wear
red or yellow or some other color be-
coming to brunettes2'
Because if she had she wouldn't have
been half SO striking, and the aim Of the
summer girl Of 1901 is to attract atten-
ton by her oddly. She is not a rose,
but an orchid, OF. better still. a floral
oddity-a pink violet or a black tulip.

is blue. she masquerades In red. with a
