Copies of The Havana Post. con- taining full accounts of the accidental death of Judge Christian Armstrong. of which mention has been previous ly made, have been received in Mont gomery and his friends in the city know now exactly how he came to his death.
 Judge Armstrong was for many many gomery. He was connected with the Ice works and brewery of this city and he was among the first of the Ameri- cans to go to Havana to take advantage of the business opportunities offered there when the American government took charge of Cuba, after the Spanish American War. A Montgomery com pany of which Captain T. H. Moore was the leading spirit. built an ice large business. Judge Armstrong went from Montgomery to assume charge of the business
 He was in charge when he was ac- cidentally killed. Captain T. H. Moore Is now in Havana, where he | went as soon as he learned of Judge Armstrong,s death The following Death by accidental drowning. was the official decision of the authorities at the conclusion of the autopsy held over the body of the late Christian Vedado Thursday morning.
 The autopsy was held at 10:30 yes terday morning in the presence of a number of the American friends of the deceased. minute examination of the body showed bruises in the head and face but there was no fracture of the skull while all of the Indications pointed to strangulation. The evl- dence presented was to the effect that when the body was found the face was submerged in water sufficient to have caused drowning.
 'Dr. Clifford Ryder. who. was Judge Armstrong's physician during his re- cent illness and under whose treat- ment he was at the time of his death. was present at the autopsy and con cured in the conclusions reached by the authorities.
 "Dr. Ryder stated to a reporter of |he Post that he had studied Judge Armstrong's case minuteiy and knew him to have been suffering rom a chronic case of Brights disease of malignant type and that at times, he was so affected by the disease that he was to an extent Irresponsible Tor his actions. He believes that 1t was while in this state that he wandered in the hole face downward was un- able to extricate himself and there perished.
 his friends and an investigation. super ficiaIly made. of his business affairs showed that there was no cause rom that source to justify the rumors that he had taken his own life.

FASHIONED OF
WHITE NAINSOOK,

Fol. something stylish and attractive for
AFTERNOON wear there could be nothing
neater than a dress of white French MAIN
SOCK finished, with fine valenciennes and
ribbons. It is. a delicate piece of work to
embroider the material. so any embroid-
cred pieces are supplied at the collar and
belt with ready-made pieces. The two
piece pattern is best for this dress, max
ing the garment sleeveless with a rather
prim undervest n moderately stiff
sleeves of French embroidery. This gives
a 1auntiness to the lace and nainsook
which Keeps the thin dress from looking

AIDS TO HEALTH
AND GOOD LOOKS

1t Is a good plan to brush the hair every
night. The grooming stimulates the blood
vessels of the scalp and removes the dust
ard dandruff. Every night a good tonic
should be applied to the scalp.
For bath purposes the flesh brush should
take the place OF flannel. Indeed, the Wig
orous use of the flesh brush or glove may
be recommended as an effective substitute
for a bath where the latter is not at hand,
as the rough glove or brush, ~cleanses the
skin of small particles which are apt to
cling to 1t from the clothing that is in
daily contact with the body.
Common table salt is one Of the best
dentifrices known. 1t will preserve and
whiten the teeth, harden the gums and
also Is good for the breath. And salt
added to the water helps to harden feet
softened by unnatural Precipitation.
White hair requires the most careful
treatment, else 1t will become yellow and
streaked. Hair tonics containing glycerin
should be avoided. Eggs make an excel
lent shampoo for the silvered locks and
a little bluing should always be added to
the last rinsing water.
In an obscure but picturesque little VII
lage of Germany there is a place called III
Chocolate Cure" where thin people go
to become stout. The patients eat and
drink cocoa and chocolate all the time,
while they rest, admire the scenery, gossip
and grow fatter every day. The true secret
OF the great success of this treatment Is
the happy way chocolate has of fattening
just the right places, settling in the hands,
the arms, the neck and the shoulders,
making the fair patient prettier and
plumper all the time. The really effective
part of this cure may be tried at home by
persevering women, and the medicine is so
palatable and the methods so simple that
there is actually 1t seems, no reason why
all should not be at least the desired
weight.

story.

A well-known local business woman
recently told the following on herself:
zone day last week 1 had occasion to
ride out to the suburban home Of O.
friend of mine. 1t was an unexpected
trip, and / happened to have just ten
cents in the palm of my glove. When
1 paid the conductor he gave me five
pennies in change. Now, il there is
one thing 1 hate. it is to nave to give
five pennies to a conductor, especially
when l have no other change with me.
for by the time I am ready to hand
It to him 1 am In a regular stew for
fear one of the coppers has escaped
from my pocketbook.
Anyway" she went on, II said Moth
ing, but slowed the change in my glove,
forgetting all about 1t as soon as I
reached my friends house, where I
spent several hours. So great was my
dread of those five pennies thai | in
tended to ask her to let me lave a
nickel In exchange for them, but 1t
slipped my mind, and toward dinner
time 1 headed for the u, with the
money clutched tightly in my hand.

fare was paid. The fears Of women
seem to be pretty much alike.

They Say
That the character of a man Is re-
vealed in the way he holds his news
paper. If he clutches 1t with a grip
of iron, as If he was afraid someone
intended to take it from him, it is a
sign that he has a bad temper, and IL
he folds It crookedly, and holds 1t loose
ly, maybe letting half of 1t trail on
the floor, he is good-natured and easy
going.
If he be possessed of a methodical,
deliberate nature, he will fold his paper
neatly and hold 1t firmly, but not tight
ly, and If he holds 1t close to his face
you may be sure that he is watchful,
prudent and suspicious.
At least that Is what the character
students say. As far as l am con-
cerned, / would be very likely to con-
clude that he held the paper near his
face because he was near-sighted.
1 have also been told to notice how
people fold their hands. Those who
fold the right thumb over the left are
supposed toe be of stronger will than
those who do the opposite.
Try 1t on your friends and draw your
own conclusions. MOLLlE.

THE NEW BROWN LILACS.

Maybe a drought has ,affected the
MOWERS in the millinery shops, for the
lilac blooms on hats are just as tanned
as the faces of the summer girls who
are to wear the headgear. Brown lilac
is the latest millinery bloom, and hat
boxes fresh from Paris are full of 1t.
The sprays have much the appearance
of the natural flower when it has been
subjected too long to the merciless
rays of the sum-. A few sprays of imi-
tation purple lilac are mixed with the
scorched brown blossoms, two or three
withered leaves likewise being added
Fir brown roses are another freak Of
the ornament, and these are placed
around the crown of the hat amid a.
ruche OF brown net.
