SAD CASE Of
A WOMAN IN
OLNEYv|LLE

There are two well known young ladies'
both being popular telephone operators,
who will not wear short-sleeved gowns
until late I'm the season, II they do then.
These two are close chums. and have
been ever since they were little tots A
day or so ago both became the posseSsors
OF white dresses. which included every
up-to-datef fancy. including short sleeves.
They both ate supper at the same house
tho day they got their dresses. for each
wanted to see how pretty the other would
look in the new dressmaker's Great tons.
They became gowned at last and both
were delighted with the fit. the style and
appearance. Then IL occurred to them
that their hair should be done up in a
more captivating manner TO compare with
the new dresses, and while arranging
their hair they noticed that there was
more hair on their pretty plump arms
than would look nice with short sleeves.
but they would fix that all right. So the
pair procured n piece of pumice stone
and went at their arms, and when they
stopped they were sad at heart, for they
had used the pumice stone so vigorously
that their mothers were Obliged to apply
cold cream and other soothing appliances
10 their arms. and II Is possible that one
OF the girls will have such pair OF arms
that she will be obliged to wear dress
with long sleeves all summer There Is
one sure fact. and that Is, they won't
wear their new and pretty white dresses
Sunday.
A SAD CASE.
There was a sad case brought 10 the
attention OF the officials OF the Chaffee
street police station early last evening.
I'm which Belona Berretta, & years old,
and her two children, one aged and the
other 8, were concerned. During the
day Drs. Griffin and Gervais had exam
ined tho woman az TO her mental condi-
ton and came 10 the conclusion that she
was insane and they had made arrange
ments 10 have her in the Sixth district
court this morning. Just before dark she
was seen TO hold one and then the other
of her children out OF window OF the
upper tenement OF what Is known as the
big Block" at So Julian street. one OF
the neighbors sent word 10 the police, sta
ton and the woman and two children
were taken TO the Central station. The
youngsters were placed In charge OF the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty 90
Children and tho mother no doubt will be
committed 10 the state hospital. Some
time ago the unfortunate woman was
practically deserted by her husband end
since then has found employment I'm the
local mills, and her little ones were cared
for at tho Delaine street nursery during
the day.
