In New York 5 underworld
Here's Julia's pen picture of Beu-
iah:
To the hundreds of people who visit
the tiny courthouse where the Beat
tie trial is under way or who come to
the Jail here, impelled by curiosity,
Beulah Binford, the "other woman, :
is easily the most interesting figure
But when they see her the opinion is
always the same-that she is not SO
different from other girls of her kind
She is the type of girl who is to be
seen any night in almost any lobster
palace in any large city in the United
States sitting behind a green bottle
with white and gold label, drinking
bubbles. Richmond is too small for
Beulah Binford. She belongs to New
York, and one of these days the terri
tory adjacent to Fortysecond street
and Broadway will claim her as its
own-this girl who has had sufficient
experience for a lifetime crowded in
to the II short but rapids years of her
existence
Made Elaborate Toilet.
Yesterday in the Richmond city Jail
"dolled up" as deliberately as though
she were preparing for an afternoon
tea. When she had entirely finished
powdering her nose, rubbing rouge on
her face, and pinning on her cluster
of puffs and a coronate braid, both
of which are sadly in need of visit
to the hairdresser's and neither of
which match her own hair within sey-
seral shades | was allowed TO enter
her boudior
She wore a neat fitting blue serge
skirt, which revealed every line of her
figure, and which was so short, like
wise SO narrow, it liked up in front
revealing her neat ankles, white
through the thinnest kind of black
silk hose. Her smart little pumps
had saucy black silk bows on them,
,..d she wore a dollar shirtWaist,
trimmed With observation-disclosures lace.
She was fussing with gold chain
trying to piece II together, and the
first words she uttered We're a request
that it might be repaired so that she
could wear it on the day of her eXam-
ination. Her first thought is of her
self.
Purse Always Empty.
Spread on the table in front of her
were her toilet artcles-a comb and
a brush, a nail buffer, countless jars
of rouge, powder and other first aids
to the complexion. A silver chate-
laine bag was thrown carelessly near
the edge of the improvised dressing
table, and it was limp and empty
Later when she discussed with ell
thusiasm the costume she would wear
when she should be taken to the
Chesterfield county courthouse she
mentioned the bag and laughingly
said. lit will be empty; don't forget I
that; it's always empty
Like every woman. Beulah Binford
keeps her hat in big box under the ,
bed Excuse me while drag out my !
trunk aud | will show You what am
going to wear in the way of lid
Then she held up for my inspection a
nifty little blue satin hat, with q !,
stitched brim, hat that matched her
eyes exactly.
Not Unhappy In Jail.
The room that has been Beulah Bin
ford's home for the past five or six :
weeks is large cool apartment and
is comfortably furnished. On the walls
of her room the girl has pasted up
some of the pictures that have APP
peared in the various newspapers.
Next this room is the padded cell
occasional violent prisoners
are confined. 1t is seldom used. The
girl exhibited it to me with all the
pride of young housekeeper who is
off pretty home of her
friends. Not for me-" she said: lit
might be all right in winter, but some
body else can have it in the summer
line. I'll not Interfere, believe me-
She Iaughted heartily when she told
3t the trick she played upon Jailer
aarnett not long since when in a spirit
,f mischief she climbed up to the top
