vania to show that the pendulum Of
fashion has swung as far back as
$500 b. C.
Beautifully carved in ivory the
visitors show that marching was the
mode then, not only where the hair
rests snugly on the head. but where
IL flows free over the shoulders.
Still more striking are the scant
skirts that cling about the ankles,
while tunics sweepbut from the hips.
Prof. Flinders Petrie sent images,
whose period has been definitely
enough established, to rank them
among the Oldest relics of antiquity.
They came from tombs excavated at
Abydos, and belong to the class of
"soul receptacles. In them the
spirit of the departed was supposed
to repose in peace and happiness so
long as the tomb remained undis-
turbed.' Prof. Petrie has not specu-
lated on the opinions these shades of
the past may be holding as to the
things feminine today.

At some time early Saturday morning
before daylight and before her hus

and took the fatal dose. She was not
discovered until some time later when
she was found, still clad in her night
dress, lying on q couch unconscious.
An empty bottle, which had contain
ed carbolic acid, was beside her. That
she took n big dose was apparent. Tor
her face, lips mouth and throat were
badly burned.
Drs c.. H. Beecher and Z. L. Maynard
were called and the police automobile
was rushed to the scene. Only few
