A MANUAL OF BALLROOM ETH

No one will be rash enough to dispute
the fact that the Sentinel is the very
highest authority, living or dead. Oh ali
kinds of social, moral and journalistic
ethics. In the matter OF attending balls
at home or abroad, it is the very glass Of
fashion and mould of form. When il
has once spoken Oh any matter of Ell

been discovered, but she has convinced
the authorities that when she went to
the home that she had no idea of the
intentions of her companion.
That Mrs. Whistnant had determiu-
ed before she left home yesterday to
kill DR.. Brinkley was shown by the
finding in her bedroom of a note ad-
dressed to her mother In this note
she stated that something awful was
about to happen and besought her
mothers forgiveness. On the bed III
the room were also found the unused
portion of the box of cartridges with
which she had loaded the automatic
revolver with which the shooting was
done.
DR.. Guy O. Brinkley, a prominent
young physician of this city, was killed
late yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Eu-
gene H. Whisnant, formerly Miss Kate
Kittles, who then turned the weapon

self, falling dead across the dead
