FEAR SUICIDE Of

News Of Fatal Ending Of
ScutfIe Over Revolver Kept
From Ruth Berry.

Unaware that her sister lies dead in
the Noble Sanitarium on Pryor street
as a result Of scuffle over their ia
theirs revolver, Ruth Berry. of Peach
tree City threatened time and again
today to commit suicide If the wound
she had uninte1tionally inflicted ended
fatally.
She was kept under constant guard
by her father, William Berry, deputy
sheriff of Gwinnett county, who feared
to tell her the tragic outcome of the
unfortunate fight in the Berry home.
The Gwinnett county authorities
have taken no action against the girl,
and planned none. The father insisted
that the shooting was entirely acct
dental although many conflicting sto-
ries were told. One had it that the
victim was shot defending her mother.
According to Mr.. Berry, the younger
sister, Salie was accidentally shot

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Where the Winters Are Cold and the

Writing from the vicinity David

he was an habitual coffee drinker, and,
although he knew it was doing him
harm, was too obstinate to give it up,
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss Of ap-
petite, weakness, and generally
used-up feeling, which practically un-
fitted him for his arduous occupation,
and kept him on a couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.

VlDENTLY there Is no intention
on the part of dressmakers to
widen skirts. They have made
some changes that intimate drap-
cry, which means the buying of lit
tie more material and the giving of an
appearance OF fullness to the skirt,
but 1t is seeming. and not real, this
fullness, writes Anne Rittenhouse in
the Boston Herald.
There are slight changes, but moth

for wear at the Riviera, and 1t is q
convincing proof that so far she
hasn't thought of anything strictly
novel. The material used is a change.
able green taffeta, and there is NO
doubt that we will be flooded with this
fabric at the beginning of the warm
weather, and the skirt has hip yoke.
Now this Is new.
1t is the tunic idea, shortened, mod
Ified and made practical for simple
frock. 1t extends for about six inches
below the waist at the sides and back
and is Tapped over in front with the
edges outlined with two rows of stitch
ing. To it the skirt is attached in mar
row box plaits quite far apart and not
stitched down.
Above the hem there is tuck of the
material, and down the middle of the
'front.' there is two-inch band of thin
white lace insertion, plated across,
and held down by small black buttons;
at the edge of the insertion, on each
side, is tiny frill of lace. This is
also new treatment.
Neat Touch for Blouse.
The blouse has folded girdle of the
silk that comes nearly to the bust and
an upper part of white chiffon with
black chiffon over 1t. The betelle ef-
fects over the shoulders are of lace and
taffeta, and the three-quarter sleeves
show a taffeta band.
If We can draw conclusions from this
model it means that the transparent
upper part of the bodice will be as
popular as it has been for two years,
that the high waist will be continued,
and that the bretelle effect, which

Every one knows about the fight
that is going on by the mill people
abroad to have the dressmakers in
crease the width of the skirts in the
interests of the thousands of men,
women and children who have been
out of employment for a year; and
whether or not it will win time only
can tell Starvation is an ugly word,
and it is daily used by the French and
English papers in connection with
the condition of the clothworkers, who
have no jobs and no chance of getting
any while the fashion of narrow
clothes prevails; much is said against
