Revival Of Old Pins

The old-fashioned brooches and
breastpins beloved by her grand
mother are highly priced by the girl
who wears with her half low bodice
velvet ribbon round her neck. or
who will make use Of the quaint things
to fasten the folds of lace on her cor
sage or perform some other function
in the makeup of her toilet. The
beautiful and often artistic carved
brooches surrounded by diamonds OF
pearls that were accompanied by long
earrings are especially admired on the
velvet neckband The eardrops are
detached from the rings and fastened
on the ends of the ribbon, one on each
side. When the brooch is large it
can be used with wide ribbon on high
necl1ed dresses. The long gold chains
formerly used as watch chains are also
brought into use again. One way OF
wearing them is to twist them around
the throat as many times as their
length will permit, then fastening the
two ends with large, handsome clasp
of baraque pearl, turquoise or any
stone that matches the costume OF
suits the fancy.

MOTHER CHARGED
WITH MURDER
Killed Her FiVeyear-OId Girl,
the Accusation
Pathetic Scene in HObOken Court
When Charge Vas Read-PriSOner
Unable to Walk Alone

Hoboken, N. j., Nov. 22-Mrs. Eliza
beth Howe Dale, Of Chicago whose s.
year-old child Emeline died under sus-
picious circumstances in Busch's Ho-
tel here was arraigned before Re
oorder Stanton yesterday The woman
is in a state of collapse, and had al
most to be carried before the bar.
Detective Weinthal made the formal
complaint. 1t recited that Mrs Dale
was suspected of having administered
strychnine to her child and caused its
death
Mrs Dale heard the complaint read
with white face and lips. With one
hand she clung to the rail, as if for
support. In a weak voice she gave
her age as 20 years, and said she was
married On the advice of her coun-
sell Lawyer Russell, she refused to
make any statement regarding the
charges, and was remanded for a
further hearing
A Pathetic Scene.
The scene in the recorders court
when Mrs. Dale was arraigned for the
murder of her child was a pathetic
one. The court was crowded with the
curious, but the prisoner paid no at
tention to the stares of the people.
The woman was so i'll that she was
apparently unable to walk alone.
To Detective Weinthal Mrs Dale
in pleading tones said: Send me the
doctor; send me the doctor" She was
quieted and given a glass Of water.
There was a consultation between the
opposing attorneys and Mrs. Dale
again became seized with temporary
weakness. Dr.. Kudlich gave her a
restorative, and when she had sufii-
ciently revived Detective Weinthals
formal affidavit charging her with the
poisoning Of her child was read.
While this was going on Mrs. Dale
sat perfectly still, not a muscle of
her colorless face twitched. but when
the word murder" was mentioned
she took her attorneys hand and held
it in a convulsive grasp. In answer to
a question she said her name was
Elizabeth Hoard Dale.
Again Mrs Dale appeared to be
about to faint, but DR.. Kudlich was
at once at her side with smelling
salts, and she revived. She was then
/ half led half carried, out of the court
room to the detectives room. While
there she said to Detective Weinthal:
Il know l am charged with murder
and 1 viii 90 anywhere with you
don't care, but want to see my child
/ Take me to my dead child"
The detective quieted her and later
on she sent a telegram to her hus
band in Chicago. 1t was clearly writ
ten in a steady hand and read: "Har
vey, come on. This is horrible treat
ment you are giving me-"
Captain Hayes, of the Hoboken po
! lice. said that he had failed to find
any motive for the killing of the child
by its mother if she did do it. He
said further: "All / know is that as
soon as the father of the child was
| teleeraphed that she was dead from
poison he wired here through relatives
for an investigation to be made anG
a charge of murder to be brought Il
the circumstances warranted it, We
