~~O
the physician:
what did the woman die Oft"
THAT is II you know" again inter
rupted Judge McLaurin. who had made
objections to the form Of the district
attorneys questions.
"You know you are making illegal
objections" the court told Judge Mo
! Laurin.
"You can't tell me that, and no court
can tell me that" flared back Judge
McLaurin.
"I'll run this court in a way to suit
myself" Judge Anderson said, not
bit unrufded. Judge McLaurin, you
take your seat and we will proceed
with the case and consider the incident
closed"
1t was a long number of incidents
like the above and clashes between
Judge McLaurin, the attorneys, wit
nesses and the court which finally
brought about his ejectment from the
court.
When DR.. ]. 8. Ewing went on the
stand Attorney McMartin suggested
that Mrs. E. R. Cooke, wife of the de-
PENDANT, and other ladies retire from
the court room.
Much of the evidence abducted dur
| ing the morning was of an unprintable
character.
The first witness was George Hawk
ms, clerk at the Washington Hotel,
testifying as to the time when Mrs.
Thompson" registered. This was Sun
day night, February %. The hotel
register was offered in evidence.
Harriet Owens, was working at the
Washington hotel as chambermaid in
February. She recalled when Mrs.
Thompson" was at the hotel. The
woman was in bed when the witness
looked through the door that day. She
returned to the room Monday after
noon, Mrs. Thompson" remaining in
bed. She had no talk with the sick
woman.
DR.. Ewing told of his visit to the
| Washington hotel to attend a sick
woman. The woman was semi-con-
scious when he reached the hotel Cd
a Wednesday morning. The patient
was moaning. He attempted to make
an examination. The patient had a
very weak pulse. The woman had had
hemorrhage. He advised that she
be sent to the hospital or some private
institution for treatment.
DR.. T. B. Dolan, graduate of the
University of Tennessee, was resi-
dent physician at the state charity hos
pital here in March. On the Sd of that
month he was called to the Washing
ton hotel to get a sick lady He car
ried the sick woman to the hospital.
The woman was unconscious when he
reached the hotel and she remained
unconscious till she reached the hos
pital.
VIII Charlie Ruffin stick to his con-
fession that DR.. Cook performed a
criminal operation on Miss Blanche
Pace, causing the death of this young
woman?
1t was reported about the court
house yesterday afternoon that Ruffin,
DR.. Cooks former office boy, had again
gone back on his statement and was
not willing to testify that his confes-
| sion was correct.
The boy has made so many state
ments that it is hard to tell just what
he will do when he goes on the stand.
1t is possible that Ruffn will be
placed on the witness stand this after
noon.
/ The states whole case hinges on the
! testimony of the negro. II he testifies
according to his original confession to
the police, then number of strong
circumstantial matters can be testified
| to by other Witnesses; otherwise the
states case will probably fail.

SOME ILLUSIONS OF YOUTH
Difficult Task confronts Parent in IN
folding World to child-Matter
for Meditation.

The illusions which youth entertains
about the things of the world are at
once the most appalling and the most
delicate things with which older per-
sons have to do. There is no lodging
the fact that the illusions must go.
The conscientious mother who has
taught her son that to lie is to sin
knows quite well that when he grows
older he will learn that lies are of two
kinds, white and black, and that the
time will come when he will have to
tell white lies, and, because they are
so like the black lies against which
his mother admonished, he will find 1t
hard.
And the father who looks upon his
daughters innocence with pride will
shudder a little at the thought that
time will bring to her some cold ex-
amples of the duplicity of mankind.
If he is fearful, it is not without rea-
son; for on the parent devolves the
duty of guiding the disillusioning
process. AS this is done we'll or ill,
SO VIII the child's view Of life be In
iuenced, a writer in the Indianapolis
News remarks. If, for instance, child
reared in home where kindness is
master is suddenly confronted with
the spectacle of two drunken men
brawling in the street, the child's illu-
sions are treated to an assault alto
gether beyond its power to combat.
In the course of events, it would nat
urally learn that men get drunk and
fight. but that is a revelation which
should come to mind whose rules of
conduct are pretty well established. In
this case the parent may well be
moved to anguish.
To unfold the world to a child is q
matter for meditation and ingenuity,
and the parent who leaves it to chance
is no less guilty of maltreatment than
the parent who wantonly exposes a
child to contagious disease, for the
mind of a child is a delicate instru-
ment OF SURPRISING sensitiveness.

WHAT FASHION HAS CHANGED
silhouette of Skirt Most Noticeable
Modification of clinging Draperles
Is Most Apparent.

The most radical change is in the sill
houette of the skirt. From the narrow
clinging skirt of last year to the wide
fiaring, circular model of today is a
long step, both figuratively and literal
ly. The change. nevertheless, is not
so difficult as it may appear at first
sight. For example, the long tunic
skirt can be charmingly disguised and
renovated by the addition of wide
band Of embroidery or of goods of
some contrasting color at the hem.
This band will give tunics the neces-
sary length and flare of the new skirts.
The draped skirt often has in 1t ma
terial enough to be entirely recut, or
1t may be heightened from the waist
by the addition of new, wide girdle
or yoke attached to the fullest part.
For the most scant and clinging of
last years skirts only one renovation
is possible. but it is charming one.
Using the skirt as foundation, build
on this a series of ruffles or flounces,
or veil it with frill, flaring overskirt.

WORKING IN FANCY LEATHER
lnnumerabIe Pretty Designs for House
Decorations May Be Easily and
Quickly Made.

The woman who is skilled in needle
work or handicraft of any sort will
need no preliminary training for max
ing small pieces of leather work suit
able for house decoration. First Of all
take stationery folder, for instance.
1t may be made any desired size,
though each end should be made to
fold inwardly to touch the center line
to make the top cover. A good grade
OF soft black morocco leather, with
black satin lining, would be a good
combination, and the edges could be
stitched with black silk thread or else
bound with leather glued in place.
Corner pieces should also be cut and
glued into place. These can be fanci-
fully cut with an eyelet punch, and
with the assistance of pair Of mani
cure scissors many artistic designs can
be produced. For the holder use a
piece of leather Of any desired color,
say fifteen by thirty inches square.
Fold the ends toward the center and
crease along the folded edges, after
which fit the pasteboard to what will
be the bottom of the folder.
Make the lining, but before attach
ing it stitch two satin pockets on each
end, which will be folded under with
the overlapped corners. Bind the
edges in any preferred style. If
monogram is desired cut the initials
with small eyelet punch and place
satin back of it. This 1hould be shown
on one of the overlapped pieces.

Jet is used in quantities, as every
one expected. Jenny likes it well and
puts 1t under tulle more than she
does over It. There is strong feel

lace and artificial flowers. Often the
latter is used under the former or to
loop 1t up into the festoons which the

EXCELLENT TEA PUNCH
SPECIAL BEVERAGE FOR WARM
DAYS OF SUMMER.
Alcoholic Addition May Be Omitted II
1t is Not Desired--Grape Cooler
That is Highly Recommended
by Connoisseurs.

Tea began as medicine and grew
into a beverage as its good qualities
became famous.
In China, in the eighteenth century
It entered the realm of poetry, and
still earlier in Japan II formed the
excuse for religious cult most es.
thetic, called "Teaism."
The beverage tempers the spirits
and harmonizes the mind, dispels ia
1tigue, refreshes the body and clears
the perceptive faculties.
~ Samuel Johnson draws his own por-
trait as O hardened and shameless tea
drinker, who, for twenty years, diluted
his meals with only the infusion of the
fascinating plant; who with tea
amused the evenings, with tea solaced
the midnight and with tea welcomed
the morning."
Tea has not the arrogance of wine,
the self-consciousness OF coffee or the
simpering innocence of cocoa, but has
a charm Of taste Irresistible and ca
pable of an idealization all it's own.
Meantime let us have our cup Of
afternoon tea The sun is setting, and
the whisper Of the night wind is heard
In our teakettle; for the half-hour be-
fore the dressing bell rings let US
linger and dwell on events of the day
past and the beautiful SOolishness of
things"
For early summer, when the hot tea
with most of us is superseded by the
cold, and to the summer hostess, who
Is always glad to know of new ways
OF serving cold drinks, we will pass
this recipe for one of the most de
lightful of tea punches.
Its name even is suggestive of cool
comfort, and after testing it one will
be sure that 1t is most appropriate.
Hongkong Cooler-Pour one quart
of boiling water over three tablespoon
fuls of Ceylon tea. Let steep four or
I'VE minutes, strain and cool, adding
four tablespoonfuls of sugar, three
slices OF lemon, two cloves and four
maraschino cherries.
When ready to serve, pour into tall
glasses half full of shaved ice and add
a dash of Jamaica rum to each glass,
placing spray Of mint that has been
dipped first into iced water, then into
powdered sugar. A strip of candied
orange peel may be added and three
tablespoonful of pineapple, If one
wants to make the punch more elabo-
rate and complicated in appearance.
Grape cooier-Remove the segments
from one large grapefruit, chill one
quart bottle of grape juice; place the
fruit on cracked ice in the punch bowl
add the grape Juice and sugar to taste.
Lastly pour over it bottle of spar.
