so SAYS THE VERY INDIGNANT
MRS. WILLIAMS.
Did NOT RECOGNIZE THE VOICE
Police Seek to Find Hidden Motive,
She Says, and Ignore Real One
Tells Again of Shooting
of Mr.. Roberts.

Baltimore, Nd, Sept. /. 49, Seated
yesterday In the drawing room of her
home at Long Green, Baltimore coun.
ty, Mrs. w. S. G. Williams, in the
presence of her sister, Mrs. Sherlock
Swami, wife oil the president of the
police. board, described in detail the
shooting of Charles B. Roberts, Jr.,
who was wounded on Wednesday
night on the board walk at Atlantic
City, while in her company.
1t was an attempt at robbery, pure
and simple, she declared, and Mr..
Roberts was shot because he refused
to comply with the demand of the
man in the mask, who had ordered
him to give up his money.
Reports Distort Facts.
Words have been put in my mouth
about this sad affair that | never
spoke. Sentiments have been as
cribed to me that | never had. The
whole thing has been distorted and
greatly exaggerated.
When the shooting occurred had
left my little daughter at the Hotel
Brighton not more than tweny min"
utes before. Mr. Roberts was going
along with ME in the rolling chair,
and we got to place where the
board walk was rough and the chair
bounced a good deal. suggested
that we turn back. The chair was
covered one and Mr.. Roberts rap
ped on the glass and told the negro
chairman to turn around. Just as
he did so the chair stopped and 4
masked man thrust pistol into the
chair, having first opened the window
on the ocean side and ordered us to
get out.
81 was seated on the side of the
chair toward the ocean and without
a word got out and held up both
hands. Mr.. Roberts followed me and
as soon as he had emerged from the
chair the man told him to give him
his money.
Looked Like a Tramp.
' 81 had a little chatelaine bag at
tached to my wrist, but the man made
no effort to get this. He wore the
toughest kind of clothing, and judg.
ing from his appearance he looked
like tramp.
Il was scared, and begged Mr.. Rob-
erts to give the man what money he
had, but Mr.. Roberts, instead, rushed
at the man, who was covering him
with a pistol, and stood a few PAGES
off. AS Mr. Roberts started forward
the man fired two shots in all, one of
them taking effect. Although struck
by one of the bullets, he kept on to-
ward the man, but the villain escaped
in the darkness"
Didn't Recognize Voice.
did you or Mr.. Roberts recognize
the voice of his assailant?" Mrs. Will
liams was asked She replied in an
indignant negative.
IF 1t had been anyone whom we
knew we'll" she said, do you not
think we would have recognized the
voice at once? If it had been my hus-
band, as they have tried to insinuate,
or my brother, it would have been i'm
possible for either to have disguised
his voice so that both Mr.. Roberts
and | would not recognize it.
THE police of Atlantic City went
to work trying to substantiate and
prove a wicked story that had no
basis in fact. From the first their
course has been the same-always
seeking to find hidden motive in
stead of the real one, which they OBJ
ignored"

Enterprise takes various forms,
even in Warsaw. A young oculist,
finding that patients were few and far

He engaged blind woman who sits

AS the church is in the busiest

attracts good deal of attention. The

notice her who would otherwise pass

In figure 1 one sees most fascinating
hood made up in four bands shirred on
hoops and with stable bag for crown
that hangs well over between the shout
ders. The frame stands out around the
face, and there is plain silk facing in a
contrasting colored silk, and inside this,
so that it falls around the face, full, soft
lace ruffle. At the throat the silk is made
into two round bows, consisting of num-
Der Of loops all of the same size arranged
n a circle. These bows are on each side Of
the hood at the throat and from them de-
pend full strings of the silk. This hood is
of a most delicious color combination,
Quaker brown and crimson, the crimson
being used for the lining. The brown is
really grayish tan of an indefinably soft
and delicate shade.
Hood No. 2, shown in the illustration,
is of violet silk of dull, light tone that
looks almost faded and has a face rufie
faced with pink, Dull pink and violet are
exquisite together and a most fascinating
and becoming combination for evening
wear. One of the noticeable features of
this second hood is the fiat bow on top,
which is made quite full and lined.

Black Cloth Costume

, that there are more of the double than
l the single breasted made up. Black is
much worn, but it is quite popular to
have a lighter shade than the color of
the gown and then to also have the lin
/ lngs of the coat match the waistcoat. A
green and black striped cheviot costume,
with black satin waistcoat and facings
| of collar and cuffs also of satin, is good
example of this fashion. while blue
serge, with heavy corded silk waistcoat
of green and the coat lined with green.
is an instance of the color contrasts that
Iare in favor. A most fascinating contrast
is seen in waistcoat of primrose color
with blue serge costume and with fac
ings and Innings of the primrose. Heavy
silk or cloth may be chosen.
Almost without exception the long
coats are considered the smartest, in spite
of there being among the newest models
a few shorter ones to be noticed. The long
lthree-quarter is for the moment the
most popular and will be for some little
time to come, as it is the most practical
IN winter. as well as best suited to the
tailor made costume, under which head
ing are included all the sensible short
street gowns
Loose backed coats are still the most
fashionable, but as there are great
many women to whom the style is unbe-
coming there are now new lines being
introduced to modify the more trying eff
fects. Oddly enough, it is the slim, slen-
der figures that look the best in these
apparently shapeless fashions; the woman
who is at all stout may not look well in
a too tight fitting and plain coat. but in
a loose coat, if it be not most carefully
fitted, gains the effect of many pounds in
weight. The seams must have some curve
at the side just below the sleeves, for if
the coat hangs too full from the Shoulders.
or, on the other hand, is too scant. the
width across the hips and back is ac-
centuated in most trying manner. Braid
and folds of satin are a godsend to the
tailor who has to make for stout women.
for by their aid he can give the effect Of
long lines that the wearer of the coat
certainly has not received from the hand
of nature. The same thing applies to
the strapped seams ON coat and skirts.
and it is interesting to notice how the
placing of the braid, satin folds or
strapped seams will give the effect of
almost slender figure when the same
costume without such treatment would be
most unbecoming.

circumstances possible, nor is the too
scant skirt possible unless it is long AT
the same time fashion has decreed that
close fitting styles are to be worn, and
every effort is made to follow the decree.
A most serious problem it is, for to cut
scant skirt so that it will be becoming,
not immodest and yet be fashionable re-
quires skill; but the task is not an impos-
sible one, and with the aid of good skirt
pattern it is wonderful what can be &C
complished provided time and care be be-
slowed upon the problem. The marvel
lous improvement in the ready made
skirts this season is a proof of this, for
in almost every place where ready made
costumes are for sale it is possible for
any woman of average figure to purchase
smart, attractive and well hung skirt.
The peated skirts which attained such
high degree of popularity last summer
are no longer the smartest, but none the
less among the newest and smartest mod
els must be noted many pleated skirts.
They are certainly on quite different lines
from the all round side pleated ones and

fections should count herself out of the
running, and if she does not wear her
large fat fur toque placed well down over
her head, with a very perceptible back
ward tilt to its broad rolling brim, then
she is not following the dictates of Pa
risian milliners, who design their turbans
and fiat round hats now to be thus adj
justed. With the fashionable low Golf
fure worn during the daytime this tilt
can be managed quite easily. The sides
of the hair are pulled out q little to fill in
this part of the brim.
As to trimming, only one thing, or one
type of ornament. is permissible, and
that is jaunty quill or outstanding feath-
er which is in itself soft and fuzzy, but
which assumes an aggressive air due to
the backbone supplied by the milliner's
art This is exemplified in Figure A. With
these jaunty and sensible hats a fur
scarf of medium length is the correct
neck decoration to wear, and always the
hat and scarf, the hat and nun or the
scarf and muff are made of the same
kind of fur. Ribbon rosettes or a fancy
buckle is the only bright touch given to
the fur hat, and one sees all black eff
fects quite as often as contrasting ones.
