INTEREST IN COLLINS CASE
Seems TO Increase as Time Goes On,
Dtaih Of an Aged Woman
Special 70 the Evening Journal.

Laurel. April 22.-lnterest in the
Collins murder case continues TO grow
stronger Instead of diminishing, II
increases with every day The small
est detail and every movement on the
part of the detectives are eagerly
watched and discussed with great
gusto.
Laurel is to have good street
crossings. A carload OF Virginia
hard bricks has arrived. and
they will be placed on their sides in
the form OF an arch across all the prin-
cipal streets. Those who know claim
these bricks to be superior to flag
stone crossings. More work has been
done on the streets this year than for
some time and Il is the intention OF
the Town Council to continue the
work.
The annual influx Of berry pickers
has commenced. They come from
down the river in all kinds Of craft,
generally getting here about this time,
and remaining until after all the ber-
ries have been picked More than l.
600 OF these people come to Laurel,
whore they are met by the people who
employ them, through an agent in
wagons. and with their effects are
taken to the farms, where quarters
are built for them Here they set up
housekeeping for the summer, and in
some instances never return to their
homes. near the mouth Of the river.
But great many OF them are OYSTER
men, and go back as soon as they are
allowed by the law TO catch the oys-
ters, which are so numerous around
their homes. On Saturday afternoons
they oil come to town. where most OF
the money OF the women is spent on
gaudy dress goods and trinkets. and
that Of the mon upon whiskey and to-
hacco.
The shirt factory of Fooks & Hast
ings will begin operations next Mon
day. When fitted up with its private
electric plant and steam heat. It will
be one of the best equipped factories
OF its kind on the Peninsula.

PtBgee for ParasOIs

Batiste and pongee are two favorite
materials that have the double advan-
tage of suiting almost all costumes
and OF representing only moderate
cost. The pongee is used both plain
and embroidered and is made up both
with and without tucks. A simple one
OF the fabric, showing embroidered
dots in brown or pale blue, with no
lining. and a stick of light colored
wood is about as practical a parasol
as one can buy. 1t is not too much
elaborated for morning. 1t is correct
for the afternoon, and it will make
a good effect with almost any spring
gown. Batiste is more directly suited
to later use and summer costumes. but
is charming and deliciously cool in
effect, AS a matter of course, it re-
quires to be lined, says the fashion
correspondent Of the Washington
Post.
A fayorite color is pale green. The
sheer linen is laid in deep tucks and
stretched over it plain, but all cOlors
are seen, and white is much liked for
the daintiest sort. A really exquisite
silk and linen batiste is stretched
quite plain over white taffeta, and
shows a finish OF lace applique at
the edge. With the tucked material
over green, a natural cherry handle
tipped with a fiat knob of gold is
shown. With the white lined batiste
the wood is white enamel, and the
finish a smart knob of gun metal
Other dainty parasols are made to
match the costumes and show almost
as many materials as do the gowns
Foulards and crepe de chine are es-
pecially attractive and give a most de-
sirable finish to the toilet.
The new motor veil is of finest crepe
spotted with chenille and hemstitched
on the edge.
Gainsborough and Vatican pictures
furnish the inspiration for many OF
the new thin gowns.

A dainty candle shade that only calls
for moderate degree Of skill in draw
ing and coloring is made in this way:
Cut from stiff water color paper a cir
cular strip about five inches deep and
ten inches long for small sized shade.
Decorate in conventional pattern with
tulips and leaves. Sketch one tulip
with upright stem and leaf on either
side in the center of the strip. and
sketch in the other two blossoms and
foliage so that when the ends of the
shade are Joined no break will oscur
in the design. outline all the flower
petals and leaves in black. The tips
of the tulips and leaves should be so
sketched in that they project at the
top of the paper, which has to be cut
out around them. This gives a pretty
and natural effect Of the flowers rising
above the candleliGht.

Childrcn and sineing.

If the family purse can possibly af-
ford it. every child should have the
benefit Of singing lessons not for the
sake of an accomplishment that gives
pleasure. though that is reason enough
to warrant the expense but for the
physical benefit Of singing.
The girl with d competent singing
teacher will blossom into an attractive
woman if she IS ordinarily careful Of
herself AS such teacher insists
upon an erect. easy position Of the

The following simple exercise will
assist greatly in rounding out the
chest: Lift the hands, palms outward,
until the fingers touch al the tips. The
hands should meet just over the head
Ind the fingers lightly kiss each other.
The elbows should be held out sharply,
so as TO give the arms full play and
open the lungs. Lift the arms. with
elbows protruding, as many times as
possible without actual fatigue. Touch

Critical Inspection Necessary.

Naturally the maid upon pleasure
bent desires to look her best on all oc
casions. 1t is the small niceties Of
toilet which make the woman, and
sometimes she errs most lamentably
over these same little things. Neat
ness. cleanliness and order are the
foundation stones of good dressing
This does not presuppose primness or
specialized severity. for even fluffy"
girl can be orderly and neat.
1t seems almost unnecessary to tell a
nice girl what she should do by way
of keeping herself personally attrac-
tive. and yet there are many really
nice girls who allow themselves to
drift into careless habits which they
would readily perceive and condemn in
another. Before going out let us stop
for moment before the mirror and
observe ourselves not admiringly. but
critically, with the eyes of stranger.
This is really a hard thing to do, but
We may be surprised to learn from our
own impartial observation in how
many ways we fall short of the true
standard of the well dressed woman.

DON'TS FOR GIRLS.

Don't take liberties with verify. Men
especially shun girls who exaggerate.
Don't stare. Girls do TOO often, then
unjustly resent return stares from
strangers.
Don't boast. If you are one of the
gods favorites II will be manifested.
Boosting is vulgar.
Don't swing your arms while walk
ing. The habit is common. 1t looks
coarse. Girls think il looks athletic.
Don't wear jewels in the morning.
The nobodies do. and if you glitter in
daylight you will be taken for a no.
body
Don't use superlatives. Reposeful
girls who are used 10 the things of life
that are desirable admire, but never
gush.
Don't borrow money or jewels from
your chums. The first you may find
difficult TO pay, and the last if lost
must be replaced.
Don't rob your old father of COM
forts in order 10 be stylish. The wage
Garner should be given his rights be

Don't 20 out with men unless you

ton in a degree. for you may be taking

One Of the most valuable possessions
8 housewife can have is a scrapbook
containing tried recipes of various
dishes that are known 10 be healthful
and nutritious. A good book for this
purpose is a strongly bound account
book, with index, in which the recipes
may be classified and indeXed so as to
be readily found when wanted. Such
book can be obtained for less than
30 cents and will last a lifetime
with reasonable care. A good paste
for such work may be made of -four
and hot water, but the most satisfac-
tory and handiest thing is a bottle of
ordinary library paste. Five cents
worth will last a long time and is
cheaper in the end than the home
made article.
