MRS. EATON GOES
HOME FREE WOMAN
JURY HOLDS HER NOT GUILTY
OF CHARGE OF
MURDER.
IMPRISONED FOR 7 MONTHS
VIII Keep Chickens ana Bees and Sell
Eggs and Honey-Has Written
Book While in
Jail

Plymouth, Mass, Nov. Mrs. Jen-
ME May Eaton has gone home to keep
chickens and bees and sell eggs and
honey. She has written a book while
in jail
A Free Woman.
After seven months Imprisonment
on charge of having murdered her
husband, Rear Admiral Joseph G..
Eaton, by poison, Mrs. Eaton stepped
from the courthouse here a free wom-
an.
Mrs. Eaton received the verdict
calmly. She was standing between
her counsel when the verdict was read
and then sank YEARLY into her chair.
Judge Aiken had warned the specta-
tors against any demonstration. A
faint cheer broke from the crowd,
however, which was cut short by the
pounding Of a gdvel in the hands of a
deputy.
Crowd For Defendant
The all-night session of the jury had
led to reports of disagreement and
much uneasiness was shown in the
crowd, which was openly in sympathy
with the accused woman. Many be-
lieved it was the record Of Mrs. Eaton
as a wife, mother and daughter, an
told by herself on the witness stand,
which had the greatest influence in
causing her acquittaI
Although the prosecution was at no
time able to prove direct case
against Mrs. Eaton, the circumstan-
tial evidence was damaging when At
torney Morse announced that Mrs.
Eaton would take the stand. Failing
conviction, the prosecution hoped to
prove Mrs. Eaton insane. On the
stand she was clear-headed, calm and
convincing. She developed the story
Of her life as life of service to her
husband and her daughters, and with
stood all attempts by the prosecution
to involve her in contradictions.
After Mrs. Eaton had left the court
room the jurors through their foreman
asked that they might be allowed to
meet her. The permission was grant
ed and they formed a semi-circle in
the corridor. Mrs. Eaton came out
from the judges lobby and thanked
them individually. AS she did so she
burst into tears for the first time since
her trial started. A little later Mrs.
Eaton gave cur the following state
ment:
II am glad most Of all because of
my aged mother and my lame child,
both of whom need me-"
The accused woman freed of the
charge of murder confded her ambi-
tons to a friend as she left for her
home. "Since 1 have been in the
Plymouth Jail I have written the story
of my life" she said. ct is stranger
than any novel of fiction

Opposes Irish Home RuIe.

New Castle, Eng, Oct. 31.-Speak-
ing from the same platform as Sir
Edward Carson, the Ulster Unionist
leader, Andrew Bonar Law, the oppo-
sition leader in the house of commons,
pledged the support of the Unionist
party of Ulster, even to the extent of
forcible resistance to home rule. But
his eagerly awaited reply to Premier

THE MYSTERY OF BEAUTY
BY ABIGAIL MOORE.

Often the most beautiful women are
far from being beauties. according to or
binary standards. and the beauty of some
of the most notably attractive lies in its
mystery and subtlety. No one can say
just wherein lies the charm-it is not in
the eyes, the mouth. the skin, for these
may not be even up to the average, and
yet the attractiveness is unmistakable.
Every one with whom such a one comes
into contact feels the spell of 1.-THE SYM
patty and womanlness. 1t is the most
wonderful and most desirable element in
beauty-and soul in beauty can be cult
waited just as surely as sagging muscles
and clear complexion can be bolstered
up with proper treatment: and you start
it in much the same way-by Kidding
yourself of the defects of character and
disposition and habit. just as in making
a good complexion you begin by eradi-
eating any blemishes that may exist and
by a general clearing of the skin, after
which YOU are ready to tone it up
So with putting soul into beauty Hav-
ing cleared your mind and consciousness
make it second nature to keep an open
mind and keep it alert and active, for
there is nothing glorious in sluggishness,
either Of mind or body, according to mod
ern standards.
Then, too, soul in beauty has a great
deal in common with earnestness and sim
cerity. Many persons are under the mis-
taken impression that soulfulness means
dim, dark piety, and they confuse ear
nestness with seriousness that would re-
strain every impulse But this is not wis
dom. There are degrees just as in every
thing else, and am only trying to differ
entiate between the f1ippancy and insin-
cerity and inertia that may prevent one
from being a beauty even though the
features are perfect, and the earnestness
of purpose, the sincerity and character
fulness that, yelling up from within. have
the power to light and lift commonplace
features out of the commonplace into the
realm of actual charm and attractiveness.
Beyond the hint or two given, each of
us has to work out an individual scheme
for putting soul into beauty. Each per-
sonalty must dip from the peculiar quail
tiles it happens to lack. II you are in

However Indifferent girl may be at
other times. in the long summer evenings
she covets attention, and she takes no
end of interest in preparing herself for
the evenings campaign.
Now, there are a number of little Sc
crets that the summer evening girl
learned before she earned the right to
her title. and these, In turn, may help
some others who desire to emulate the
type, for q very charming type she il, in
deed.
One OF these secrets has to do with
freshness and daintiness. No matter
how far she has walked during the day,
how many rounds of golf or sets OF ten
mis- she has played, how far she may have
motored In the dust or padded a canoe
in the sun, when she appears in the even

is how 1t is managed.
To begin with. although there may be
little time, she snatches five or ten min
utes for nap. With her face and neck

that brought i'm the gown. Maybe IL was
the fashion for red-heeled slippers which
brought In the gowns, or possibly II was
just the yearning of women to be pic-
torial according to an earlier idea What
ever the reason. here are the gowns. and
the majority OF them are called by the
simple name OF Dolly Warden.
The material is usually OF figured crepe
or wolfe, which the shops now sell In
large quantities and which come In art1s-
tic patterns. The usual gown made In
this fabric is not the kind to which I
refer, for we have had these with US for
six months. made along ordinary lines,
all of the same material.
The modern frock is made Of two ma
terials, with the addition Of net or lace.
and sometimes colors differ. For In
stance, IL one has a round bodice and
a full pannier of figured crepe, the skirt
may be OF raspberry pink satin or oyster
satin, with two laces fi0unces underlined
with deep pink or turquoise blue satin
ribbon.
There will be a wide fichu Of white lace
and tuIle, which fits closely around the
neck at back and sides and falls down
the front in loose folds. Under the collar
at the back is run a ribbon OF blue or
pink, and the elbow sleeves are finished
with five-inch pleatings of lace with a
festoon of ribbon at the top.
Take this costume and add to IL a pair
of pink or blue stockings and hixh-heeIed
black slippers with red heels, and you
have dancing gown of rare charm.
