 The shortest possible time elapsed, fl seemed to me" said the woman, when another piercing scream rent the air, and I again stood up, dropped my paper, and stood on my tip-toes just in time to sec the little hoy falling backward to the pavement. and the young nurse bending over him in passion that quite equalled his own. Whether he had tripped and fallen backward ir running away from her or whether she had struck him and he had fallen as the result of the blow, of course I couldn't tell. The baby car riage with the smaller child in it in the meantime had rolled to the edge of the sidewalk, and not paying any atten- tion to the little baby, the young nurse quietly but firmly struck the larger child a blow right on his face-slapped him good and proper and then jerked him up as quick as lightning and as roughly as could be-"
 After the first petrified moment of horror' the woman continued. 'J started to go down the front steps and command the nurse to give me her name and whose children she was nursing, when all at once she grabbed the baby lcarriage with one hand the little boy by the other. and before I knew it she was dragging them off helter skel- ter, pell mell, ike a fury.

MRS. WELLS IGNORED

Mrs. William E. Lloyd was hostess on Friday afternoon for a number of friends, the honor guest being Mrs. w, H. Wells, who leaves on December i to make her home in Birmingham, says the Anniston Star
 Mrs. Lloyd's guest list included a number of matrons who have been playing bridge with Mrs. Wells, who since coming to the city more than a year ago, has been quite popular and very much admired. The occasion on Friday was one of the small farewell parties which are being given for Mrs. Wells.
 It is with genuine regret that friends of MT. and Mrs. Wells see them depart, but since they are to be in Birmingham it is hoped that Annistonians will have them frequently for weekend visits, as MT. Wells is equally as popular as his attractive wife, who was Mrs. Lloyds honor guest on Friday.
