Boston, Mass.-Precisely what 1t

the man or woman, that most attracts
one Of the opposite sex, is a problem
Of which DR.. G. Stanley Hall, profess
sor of psychology in and president Of
Clark University, Worcester, Mass,
has set out to find the solution. To
this end he has taken a census of
young lovers, with a view to learning
what in each case has most endeared
to him or her the particular object
of their affection.
It was DR.. Hall who recently de-
clared fifty per cent. Of college wom-

to race suicide. The complete result
Of this census of lovers DR.. Hall has
not yet given to the public, but he
has made known an abstract Of what
he has learned. With hundreds Of
lovers heard from DR.. Hall states that
the characteristics specified by them
are, in the order Of their frequency,

MISS LOVING Tells
OF ESTES WRONG
Virginia Girl Testifiss to Save
Fathers Life.
The WHISKY sTUPEFlED HER
Victim Of the Fatal Buggy Ride Tells
the Story to Save Her Fathers
Life, Who is on Trial For the
Murder.

Murder.
Houston, Va.-Miss Elizabeth Low
ing, forced to the alternative of sac
rifcing her reputation or sending her
father to the gallows, has made her
choice. She went on the stand at
the trial of her father, Judge William
G.. Loving, for the murder of Theo-
dore Estes, and swore that Estes had
assaulted her.
Judge Loving killed Estes because
she had told such a story. Since
then it has been asserted that the
story was false; that Estes did not
treat her as she told her father he
did; that she became intoxicated, and
that to excuse herself she told the
Judge the story which caused him to
kill young Estes. There has been
much speculation whether she would
go on the stand and admit that. Estes
did not treat her dishonorably. That
speculation she disposed of by her
testimony.
Only once in a recital lasting al
most an hour did Miss Loving give
way to her emotion. That was when
she told the jury of her confession to
her father on the day following the
ride. She broke down completely,
sobbed convulsively, and for a time
it looked as though she would not be
able to go on, but with an effort con-
trolled herself and continued her
story, and later gained courage
m~onwealth's attorney. y s.
Her father was on the stand ear
lier in the day, being the first witness
called when court met. His recital
was dramatic. He told Of his love
for his children, and after giving way
to tears, he told the jury without a
show of emotion that he ordered his
buggy and took his shotgun to put to
death the man who had mistreated
his daughter. e.
The Loving case is strangely SINH
lar to the Thaw case. But while the
defense is the "unvritten law" COM
bined with emotional insanity, the
country doctors who were put on the
Stduu Olu uOI Idlh VI oihoIoi lie Va
exaggerated ego, but in plain English
said they believed that several at
lacks of delirium tremens through
which Judge Loving had passed had
90 weakened his brain that for the
time being he was insane. AS intthe
Thaw case, everything hinges in this
trial on whether or not the jury be-
lieves that Elizabeth Loving told her
father the story which he says she
did, and which resulted in his killing
young Estes. The truth OF falsity OF
the story is not material, according
to the defense. ~
Wood Bouldin. the Common
wealth's attorney, a courtly, digni-
fed Southerner, who, while asking
Miss Loving the most embarrassing
questions, was skilfully leading her
away from her story, and apologizing
for it, announced that he intended to
prove by the witnesses Of the defense
that Miss Loving's story is absolutely
false and that Theodore l.. Estes was
never guilty of an improperly to-
ward her n 'Tr $50.

LAUGHTER and Wrinkles.

Nine persons out of ten, if, asked to
give what they consider the cause of
wrinkles, would probably reply that it
is worry and care. This, however, is
by no means always the case, for, as a
matter of fact, many of them come
from laughing. There is, after all. an
art in laughter, and to know how to
laugh is really quite as important as
to know when to do so. If you laugh
with the sides Of your face, the skin
will work loose in time, and wrinkles
will form in exact accordance with the
kind of laugh you indulge in. The
man who always wears a smirk will
have a series Of semicircular wrinkles
covering his cheeks. A gambler who
is accustomed to suppress his feeling
generally has deep line running from
each side Of his nose to the upper cor
ner Of his mouth, which in time ex-
tends to the chin, forming the shape
OF half moon. A cadaverous person
Is usually marked with two wrinkles,
one on the jaw and the other under
the eye, meeting at right angles at the
cheek bones. The students wrinkles
form on the brow, while those of the
schemer come round his eyes and re-
semble the apokes of wheel. +
