ALFRED PARSONS LOVE AFFAIR.
Especial to The Sentinel.)

Especial to The Sentinel)
Chicago, May 22.-Miss Anna b.
Whitmore, the pretty postmistress of
the village of Gray's Lake. will be
given hearing today by the federal
authorities on a charge of tampering
with mail that passed through her
hands. 1t IS not alleged that the fair
guardian of Uncle Sans mails was
actuated by motives of cupidity. but
rather that a natural feminine Curl
osity in the love affair of a local par
son led to her arrest. The Rev. Mr.
Havenor, of Gray's Lake. is the com
planning witness.
Parson Havenor declares that his
engagement to Mary CALVIN, of Fort
Wayne, although supposed to be a
profound secret leaked out in Gray's
Lake and was known to every gossip
in the village. Every where he went,
asserts the parson. he was greeted
with grins and giggles and many peo-
pie favored him with exact quota
tions from the loving letters that
passed daily between him and his
fiancee. At last, says the preacher,
he was told that the postmistress was
spreading the information about his
love affair, and he appealed to the
postal authorities to put u stop to
such proceedings. An investigation
by post office inspectors and the ar
rest of Miss Whitmore followed. 1t
is not known what plea the alleged
trifler with Cupid will make when the
case is called for hearing today.

HEY, MIR. MAN. GET GOGGLES
tsDeciaI to The Sentinel.)

Paris, May eff it is true that
what Paris wears today the rest of
the world will wear tomorrow, /"
American men had better invest i'm
mediately in goggles. The transpar-
ent gown, the most daring sartorial
effect ever achieved by Partisan
modistes to lure men to destruction,
has made its appearance Sn the bou-
levards, setting off but not hiding the
charms of the feminine leaders of
the French capitals smart set" The
new gown is not only tight fitting,
showing every line and curve of the
fair wearers, but it is made of silk so
thin and fragile as to be almost trans
parent.
The innovation has created a sem
sation, even in Paris, which is accus-
toned to bizarre costumes. In many
instances, the wearers of the ira ns-
parent gowns have been surrounded
by great crowds of men, all anxious
to inspect the effect at close range,
sand only the interference of the po-
Nice has prevented the women from
being mobbed.
