death Even at the time when crino-
lines were in fashion it was generally
admitted that they were monstrous

lines had no other advantage they at
least kept men at a distance, added,
THAT at least you will admit is
great blessing

GLIMPSE OF LIFE
FOR BURIED WOMEN
Feminine Convicts Given Romp
Mid Flowers on Hills in
Prison Enclosure

Gathering wild flowers on the hills
prison Sunday was the rare recreation of
the women prisoners of the state peni-
tentiary. Thirtytwo of the pale faced,
blue garbed women walked on turf for
the first time in months or years. and
when they came back to their cells
there was a dash of color in each cheek
and bunch of flowers at each belt.
Warden Hoyle gave a springtime holf-
day to the women
For a week before he did not permit
the flowers growing on the slopes near
the prison walls to be picked No one
knew why they were protected as the
warden showed caution in not confiding
his plan for the women's outing to
any one. 1t was to be a surprise to all.
Sunday afternoon he gave the neces-
sary directions for the recreation. With
two male guards and the woman ma
tron Mrs Smith the incarcerated
women were taken from their cells to
the sunny slope where the wild flowers
grew
The fresh air, the sunshine, the color
of the flowers and the green grass
worked a wonderful change in the
women.
They gave themselves UP to the
pleasure of the hour and romped In
the grass as far as the limited bounds
of their freedom would permit.
For many it was the first time in
years that they have known spring.
Among those who recreated in the
sun was Emma lie Deux, the Stockton
trunk murderess.
