BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
MURDERED
EMMETT e. ROBERTS, NEWSPA-
PER CORRESPONDENT WHO
MURDERED MRS. WOODILL,
SHOT BY SHERIFF'S POSSE.

st. Michaels, Nd, June 25.-Em-
NETT E. Roberts, newspaper CORES
pondent, magazine writer, and au-
thor, wanted for the murder of Mrs.
Edith May Thompson Woodill,
daughter of Col. Charles A. Thomp-
son, was shot to death by a sher-
ifs posse while resisting arrest off
the wharf at Mcdaniel, Talbot coun-
ty, at 4 O'Clock this morning. Rob-
ers was in small boat on the river
when seen by Farmer John McQuay
who advised the authorities. A
posse was quickly formed and Rob
erts was allowed to row himself into
trap before he knew he was sur.
rounded. When commanded to sur.
render he fired one ineffective shot
and almost instantly fell dead in the
bottom of his boat from a bullet
fired by a member of the posse.
The deputies waded out to the
small boat. Roberts had been shot
in the mouth and was dead. The
boat was drawn ashore and the body
examined. Roberts had a bottle of
poison in his pocket and a number
of letters. The body was brought
here.
further examination of the body
L.
or not Roberts was killed by mem
ber of the posse or committed sui
eide.
The motive of the terrible murder
may have been jealousy. Where or
under what circumstances Roberts
and Mrs. Woodill met is not known
but they are said to have been i'm
mediately attracted to each other.
Little is known here regarding Rob-
erts. He claimed to be newspaper
correspondent and magazine writer.
He was polite, affable and made
friends readily, but never discussed
his personal affairs. From the pa
pers found in his pockets there is
reason to believe he was Robert r.
Eastman. He stated at different
times that he came from Denver.
The coroner is in possession of a
letter found on Roberts or Eastman
addressed to Miss Winnie Bradcombe
care Klaw & Erlanger, New York,
asking the girl to come to Maryland
and take charge of his boy and prop
erty as he intended to commit sui
eide. Eastman added that he had
been out in a boat with two men
and a woman and that one of them
struck a girl on the head with a
wine bottle and killed her.

APRIL GRANDMOTHER

return at eight o'clock to a breakfast of
fruit, toast and clear coffee.
violent gymnastic exercises will rapid
ly reduce the waist dimensions, but these
are not TO be undertaken lightly or mad
yisedly, for what agrees with some con-
situations is injurious to others. Rolling
and tumbling about the floor often causes
the blood to rush to the head, and kicking
at high mark may disastrously affect
the heart; but there are certain fancy
dances involving bending the body back
ward, forward and sidewise until the head
almost touches the floor, which will re-
duce the flesh about the waist as well as
make the figure supple and graceful, and
there are variety of simple gymnastics
which may be learned without the aid
of teacher. One of these is to touch the
ear with the toes. This is bit difficult,
but the girl who cannot accomplish it
after a few weeks of patient endeavor
must resign herself to the possession of a
thick waist, and the one who
persists in the practice may indefinitely
preserve slim, supple and svelte figure.

Portable Toilet Requisites.

& ILK plaids, pongees, striped taffetas
Sand a host of figured cotton or linen
fabrics are employed for the roll-ups
and bags to hold the toilet requisites which
every girl likes to carry, whether she leaves
home for a day or a decade An eight COM
partment roll-up of eighteen by eight inch
dimensions has a crushable miniature work
bag and needle case attached to the inner
side of its flap. The opposite erd of the
roll has an oblong envelope designed for
stationery, while the remaining portion is
fitted with receptacles for the necessary
brushes, combs and nail tools.
Rubberized silks and linens are EN-
ployed for the deep, wide bags with oilskin
lined compartments for toilet requisites
but if it is easier to pack the various ar.
ticles separately small bags may be used
for the sponge, powder puff and soap and
oblong cases for the brushes, combs and
manicure set.
A collapsible satchel-shaped receptacle,
which combines the advantages of basket
and bag and may be packed into small
space, has its cardboard sides and ends
covered with plain patterned silk, sateen
or linen and a capacious interior bag OF
some figured material. While novel, how.

"Miss B., come here and see how you
like my pink rose vase l have just nm
Iished?'
ooh, isn't it dear? Those three to-
gether at the top and the dropping OH
one at the base of the vase are so grace
full, with the thorny stems winding down
between and the dainty little buds. How
did you manage them? l am just so
afraid of roses in painting. They look so
complicated and difficult and my brush
doesn't want to so right somehow, to
make those turnover petals. If | wipe
them out they look hard and straight. and
if l paint them they look alike. And those
dandy browny leavesp Mine always look
like blotch of mud on a white COW. And
oh! say, this Topped over rose! If there
is anything in roses adore it is Topped
over pink fellow, where you can see the
tawny little leaves around the calyx. l
never can paint enough of roses, but if l
only could get at the ones you have on
this vasep'
This young lady had enough exuberance
of spirit to paint any kind of roses, but
lacked self-confidence in execution, and
right here we must assert the necessity of
enthusiasm in painting. By this is not
meant to be delightfully."- satisfied with
work done, but if it is pleasing, be ready
to say so, for the pleasure to yourself and
those in touch with you certainly repays.
A kind word of praise in this work often
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-05-23

leads to higher and better things for both
the giver and the recipient.
In painting the pink rose the amateur
is prone to think the different shades of
pink will suffice. but this is quite erro-
neous. On the highest lights the tone is
so delicate as to be almost white, and
here a faint wash of blue for atmosphere
effect. Around near the calyx, il you
have noticed pink rose, are yellow tones
with touch of apple green. The turned
over" petals are painted by directing the
brush sidewise with a suggestion of color
in it, this method blending it in with the
remaining petal. The dropping Off
flower has but two or three petals, with
the centre painted of the fluffy pollen
in yellow, yellow brown and shading
brown. The dandy browny" leaves are
done in blood red and shading with
touch of ruby. Little buds are kept crisp
and delicate. The chopped over" ones are
painted with many turn over" petals,
one over the other, and calyx leaves
clearly defined, with long stem emanat-
ing therefrom. Keep the high lights on
darker petals all dark.
A background for these may be made
of delicate green at the top, with blush
pink and yellow around the main flowers
and either light or dark green at the base,
light backgrounds being desirable with
delicate flowers.

Utilize Old Dolls.

& CHOOLGIRLS who have but recent
My put away their dolls with a sigh of
regret-perhaps a secret tear-may
utilize them in various ways. If the dis
carded plaything is of modest proportions
her legs may be ripped from the trunk
and her silken or brocaded skirts
stretched over a pin cushion for the dress
ing table. Or Miss Dolls petticoat may
be drawn tightly over a circle of card
board and used MS an ornamental cover
for little catch all basket similar to
those in which dried figs are packed for
the market.
A doll whose legs have been amputated
makes an excellent covering for whisk'
broom After her body has been tied Sc
curely to the broom's short handle her
petticoats are allowed to fall fluffy over
the whisk, so that they may readily he
thrown backward when the article is in
use.
Some girls transform their discarded
doll into a fetch by tying long ribbon
hangers about its neck and the wrists OF
its outstretched arms and suspendlng II
from the wall nearest to the dressing
table. In time the wide sleeves, the broad
obi and the straight folds of the kirnono
are certain to be hidden by so many cotll-

Colonial tea coseys are made from dolls
dressed in small lowered, brocaded, eX

over teapot of generous proportions
The doll may wear panier robe or q
square cut, tightly fitted 6chu draped

Useful Hints Every Girl Should Know

And it is ridiculously easy to do. First
the ends of the little tray are covered with
bits of chintz or velvet, whatever the mate
rial may be- and then similar pieces are
pasted on each side of the wide sides of
the box. Straight strips of braid or ribbon,
not wider than a quarter of an inch, are
glued along the long sides of the box over
the velvet, and then strips of same braid
or ribbon are placed all around the ends
iof the box. This leaves the sandpaper sides
of the box free, while the tops are covered
to be dainty and attractive.
For the tea tray in summer, for which it
is always necessary to have matches at
hand for lighting the kettle, light colored
taffeta silk or chintz make pretty box.
For the smoking room dark green or red
velvet bound with dull gold braid is most
in keeping-and here is an excellent gift
for the fathers or brothers birthday, for
which it is always so difficult to think of
something both original and acceptable.
For the country house lighted by gas or
lamps the girl who is really interested in
making her home as attractive as is pos
sible for her to do, and is always on the
lookout for such details which apparent
ly are of such minor import, but i'll roality
count so much, will make for each room
one or more of these little match cases
with a cover corresponding to the silk or
cretonne hangings of that room.

Attractive Graduation Fans.

- ANS for girl graduates are more than
than ever attractive this season. One
of the daintiest models is composed OF
gauze bearing pin head decoration IN
silver paillettes. 1t is mounted upon
carved bone sticks, similarly ornamented
by an embedding of somewhat larger
silver spangles and the rim of the spread
is overlaid with three inch wide real lace,
beneath which the gauze portion is cut
away.
Another gauze fan is painted to repre-
sent birds. In some cases one bird covers
the entire spread; in others, the head and
a portion Of the body are repeated. Some
Of the horally painted fans have DAISIES,
yiolets, peoples or roses repeated IN each
section TO form a border, the foliage iol-
lowing the sticks.
Harmony of decoration is a distinctive
feature of Directoire effect fans. III
these the design is frequently worked out
entirely in lilies Of the valley, the pattern
of the lace along the rim OF the spread
consisting of lilies surrounded by rocco
design. The lily pattern is also carried
out i'll the hand painting OF the fan where
il is combined with other flowers; 1t Is
also observable IN the pierced portion Oh
the six centre sticks.
Empire fans are popular at the mo
ment Their silk spreads are decorated
with assorted gilt or steel paiettes il
fancy patterns combined with hand paint
cd festoons, and their pierced, hand deco
rated sticks are of carved bone or carved
unfinished sandalwood, the latter decided
ly popular owing to the woods delicate
1dor.
Stained redwood sticks are used fol
some of the chiffon top fans which are
hand painted, cut out in bird forms anc
appliqued on white Brussels net.
Parisienne lace is employed for rather
simple ivory mounted fans, fiorally deco
rated across the entire spread and fin
ished with delicately tinted silk tassels
while combination of duchesse and rost
point is employed as a mounting for q
centre hand painted miniature after Wat
teau.
Gold and gfosgrain effects are used il
the high class japanese spread fans
These are hand colored in conventional
floral designs and in dainty Japanes,
scenes. Their sticks are Of natural BAN
boo, silver pressed bamboo and polished
black and white wood.

gloves and Yeils, are an easily contrVed
dressing table convenience, as are also
cretonne covered jewel cabinets made
from Il writing paper box divided into
various compartments and fitted with a
wadded tray equipped with a ribbon han

Among the receptacles which girl may

commodation of hosiery. and for this pur-
pose there is nothing better than mans
shoe box, while a most satisfactory pro-
lection for beflowered headgear may be

Newest in cretonne covered shirt waist
boxes is one having a padded lid and a
brass handled lower drawer. 1t is an or,
namental as we'll as capacious receptacle
and quite strong enough to serve as a
window seat.
-Four and six pocket shoe bags are OF
printed chintz trimmed with mode col
ored cotton or of the same materials used
vice versa.
Tourist cases with two large pockets,
several minor ones and straps for small
brushes are of rubber lined cretonne and
fasten with cord loops and fancy buttons
Cretonne covered collapsible work bas'
kets, fitted with cushion and needle
leaves, are finished with narrow, plain
colored cotton or linen bands, and ere
tonne covered collapsible waste paper
baskets are side laced with bright colored
or gilt braid cords.

has two facts to remember. She will
never get thin by walking in the open
air if she pauses now and again to drink
sodas and eat ices, and no amount of
WEAKNESS must tempt her to indulge in
can-naps. Seven hours sleep daily is all
that she can afford, and that should be
taken between, sunset and sunrise.
1T is folly to expect any sort of corset
to make the figure look really slim. Flesh
is not to be dissolved by squeezing it, and
if pushed away from the normal waist
line it is certain to show above or below
that point. A tight belt will make the
waist become stout rather than slim, for
by holding the clothing closely to the
figure it generates fat producing heat.
Loose, light garments, through which the
air can freely circulate, keep the body cool
and help to drive away adipose tissue.
In nine cases out of ten the girl who
allows her waist perfect freedom, exer-
cises properly and diets wisely soon finds
herself able to wear a moderately small
corset. The tenth girl should not permit
wide waist to make her so unhappy that
life will be a burden to herself as well
as to her nearest of kim"

" CHARMING gift 10 make for grand
~ ma or for a person convalescing
from illness is little set of small
cushions which will tuck into the gaps of
the invalid's chair or support particularly
weak and sensitive spots in the delicate
person. These cushions should be of
eiderdown, not more than twelve inches
square in size, and covered with remov-
able linen slips. To the corners of one
end attach linen braid long enough to
form a handle by which the cushions,
when not in use, may be hung on the
back of the chair This is an invaluable
touch, for grandma or the invalid may
sometimes wish to use all the cushions,
sometimes only one, and again none at
all, according to her mood or her condi-
ton, and the linen handle enables her to
put them aside, yet always within reach,
so that without leaving her chair she has
them again when she desires them.
These little cushions are in no way in
tended to take the place of the large ones
commonly put into chairs for delicate
persons, but are just a little added touch
of comfort in which grandma or the inva-
lid would delight.
