MOTHER TRIES
TO DROWN SELF
ANDLITTLEBABE
Tells Conflicting Stories at
Hospital; Says She Is
a Visitor Here

A woman giving her name as Mary
Walters narrowly escaped drowning
in the Susquehanna river at the foot
of Emerald street about six o'clock
last night. Fastened to her clothing
was a little baby girl. Only the
prompt action of two employees of the
Fink Brewing Company prevented
double tragedy.
When Paul Krause. of Washington
and River streets, and w. J. Tomlin-
son, 1912 Herr street. were driving
along Front street in one of the big
delivery trucks of the Fink Brewing
Company. they noticed a struggling
object in the river. some distance
from shore. The woman, who was
almost exhausted, uttered a piercing
cry and the men sprang from the
truck and hurried down the embank-
ment. Krause reached the woman
and succeeded in keeping her head
above water while he handed the
baby over to Tomlnson.
When the shore was reached, pass
ing parties in automobiles gave
prompt assistance. The woman was
resuscitated without great difficulty.
but the babe came back to life only
after repeated efforts had been made
to save its life. The mother and

A man whose name has not been
learned witnessed the woman strug-
Cling in the water. He saw her enter
the river and wade out until the
| water was beyond her depth. but
explained that he had made no effort
to effect q rescue as he believed the
woman to be bathing.
At the hospital the woman refused
to say anything about herself. She
has dropped a few statements but
the stories do not tally. She was
well dressed and the babe, a hand :
some girl probably about eight
months of age, was becomingly at
tired. The woman gave her name
as Mary Walters, stating that her
home is in Detroit and that she had
been in Harrisburg but two days. At
another time she said she came here
from her home in Pittsburgh two
weeks ago.
A woman from an adjoining town
called up the hospital to-day and in
quired minutely about the would be
suicide and the baby saying that her
sister, who had not been living with
her husband for some time, had dis
appeared with her baby. but the de-
scription furnished by hospital en-
| ployes was not sufficiently clear to
establish Identification.
| Late this afternoon the woman
said that her name is Mary MalteIJ
and her address is Farmer and
! Woodward avenues, Detroit. Mich.
She gives no reason for attempting
the deed. Both mother and baby
will recover.

PAPAL HAT is new DESIGN
Front and Back-Tendency Shown
Toward Exposing the Hair.

The papal hat, called the inter- has
been launched in Paris. 1t fits the head
snugly and the brim is cut into two
high points of even height, back and
front. One is in Vatican purple satin,
heavily embroidered in oxidized silver
thread; another is in black satin, en-
broidered in dull gold threads, with a
fiat bit of ruby -colored velvet embroid-
cred in the front brim.
All-white hats have been launched
for the early spring season. High
shapes of white straw, trimmed with
irregular groupings of stiff white wings
are favOrites. White satin hats
trimmed with black wings have moder-
ately wide brims.
All hats are worn straight across
the eyebrows; the tilt has almost dis
appeared. The headband is small and
shows the hair at sides and back. The
new millinery shows tendency to-
ward exposing the hair, after seasons
Of covering it.

COlFFURE TO SUIT FEATURES
individuality in Hairdressing Is BE
coming More Pronounced-Modi-
fled Casque New Style.

Individuality in hairdressing grows
more pronounced. Some really artistic
coiffures, enough on present lines not
to look odd, are curiously in character
with the faces they frame. If a girl
has one or two slightly eastern fea-
lures, she seeks to accentuate them.
Has she large, dark eyes, Spanish
comb matches up. No longer is the
Marcel wave kept in its pristine Sc
verify. One has the hair waved, to
be sure, then proceeds to comb it out
just enough to lose the artiiciality.
There is no headdress newer than
the modified casque, rising bit higher
on the top of the head as it is drawn
toward the back. The tendency to a
thin waved forehead fringe and to
little tendrils which wave into curls In
front of the ears Is an addition to the
hairdressing of those who go in for
more elaborate coiffures. These are
so unaccentuated that they are not
noticeable at little distance. They
are very far from the exaggerated
curves of hair sometimes seen, and
serve to soften the face and also to
show a bit Of hair below the hat
crowns, which are pulled so far down
over the forehead.

MANY SPRING SUITS
SOUTHERN SEASON BRINGS OUT
UNUSUALLY LARGE DISPLAY.
Accepted Lines of Conventionaliy Sc
we're Tailored Coat Show Little
Change From Those of Last
Winter.

The Southern season always brings
out certain number of spring tailored
suits, but this year there is an unusu-
ally large display. There is nothing
particularly new or startling about the
advance spring tailored costumes.
For the conventionally severe tai
lored coat the accepted lines promise
to be very much like those of the win
ter season.
AS is generally the case in the spring
the Norfolk suit, although often hav-
ing little in common with the Norfolk
cially in the collection intended for
country or sports wear.
Then there is the suit coat semi
fitted and ripping around the bottom.
This varies in length from hip to finger
tip length. Some of the new models
are of hip length with the front Of the
coat open to show the waiStcoat in
Breton or Louis XIV style.
A fanciful tailored costume of black
satin revealed pearl gray waistcoat
embroidered in silver. This coat had
belt of the material and pockets posed
below the belt. There are also q few
straight models, elaborately embroid-
cred or braided. ..-
The spring frocks multiply daily. A
lovely model recently noted was Of
navy blue serge and navy blue and
green checked material. The serge
formed the upper part of the gown,
which fastened down the side with
froggings, meeting skirt Of navy and
green checks. The collar and cuffs
were braided.
Great vogue is predicted for braid
trimming. An interesting model noted
is of navy cloth and black satin. The
long, straight fourreau opening over a
black satin front is braided on the
waist, and at the neck, while the edges
are trimmed with pieces of wide gal
loon, pointed at the ends and posed
one above the other. At the waist
similar pieces of galloon are arranged
to allow a satin sash to slip under
them. This sash is tied at the side and
braided at the ends.
For more dressy frocks there is pre-
dicted return of the vogue for taffeta.
This silk is also much in demand for
trimmings and combined with geor-
gette crepe and voile.
Frocks of satin are much in vogue.
Black satin intended for dress wear
was appliqued with designs of Indian
cashmere in medallion form with me-
talic embroidery on bodice front and
cuffs.

TIME FOR BOSS TO GET BUSY
Paddys Earnest Warning Seems to
Have Been Justified by the Facts
of the Case.

Paddy was out of work, and passing
a works he saw a notice which said
stoker was wanted.
OF course, he could use spade, so
he applied and got the job. 1t seems
the man who held the job before was
sacked because he lost time, and nat
urally his mates wouldn't tell Paddy
how to go about his fresh job.
The boss told him to watch the pres
sure gauge, and if he wanted to know
anything he was to go and ask the
boss.
For a while all went well. Paddy
shoveled the coal on, and the gauge
registered full pressure; and he
worked away until the safety valve
started blowing off. Still he worked
away, and the steam still escaped
through the safety valve.
Paddy, not knowing what was the
matter, ran to the boss, and said:
'Boss, if you don't be coming to
this boiler, the boiler will be coming
to you!"
