cording to the police. poisoned herself
yesterday a few hours before her fan
ce, DR.. Eldridge ID. Atwood, shot and
probably fatally wounded DIR. Wilfred

with yellow jessamine and smilax
twined over the banisters and other
points Of vantage; yellow roses, daffo-
Oils and johnquils, also lovely Easter
