How to Trim the Hair
for Easter Sunday.
I am training my hair for my Easter hat.
Go thou and do likewise. Take your hair
by the handful and toss It back from your
face. Then pull it down with your fingers.
OF course the bang has long since gone out
Of style with you, and the short hairs have
grown out This Will allow you to pull the
front down very low, not in the eyebrow
puff. but in low. soft curls. wrinkles snd
waves.
The Easter hat will set back from your
face. and show a charming simplicity Of

given It a minute attention In your life,
whereas you have been working for weeks
to make It He down. It Is better not to

LAWYER IS
LOCKED
DISPUTE BETWEEN ATTORNEY
AND DETECTIVE ENDS IN A
CASE AGAINST FORMER FOR
CONTEMPT.

During the trial Of H. P. Gum before
Recorder Broyles Saturday for writ
ing an insulting note to Ethel Rutley,
who lives at the Plant hotel, on Decatur
street, near police headquarters, sem
Harralson, formerly state librarian and at
one time one Of the best known politicians
in the state, called Detective Dobbins
liar. Harralson was attorney for Gum.
Detective Dobbins, who made the arrest,
was opposed to postponing the case, while
Attorney Harralson insisted that he had
a right for 1t to be postponed in order
that he might get witnesses to show the
character of the Plant hotel and the wo-
man who alleged that she had been in
suited. Heated words passed between the
detective and Attorney Harralson, and
finally Detective Dobbins said:
who engaged you in this case, anyway?
Did the defendant send for you? How did
you fnd out that he was under arrest
and needed counsel?''
Mr.. Harralson stated that he did not
propose to be questioned by Detective
Dobbins, and would not answer him, as
the detective had no right to ask such
questions.
Detective Dobbins then said: 81 believe
that you hang around to solicit cases."
Barely had he spoken the words when
Mr.. Harralson flashed back that he was
a liar.
Judge Broyles Immediately fined him S..
or told him he would have to go to prison
for an hour. The attorney chose to go to
prison. and was locked up for an hour.
