OLDEST GHOST
ABOUT TO Stir

Spaniard Killed by Indians In New
Mexico Who Feared He Would
Betray Them to Spanish
Invaders.

Isleta, N. M.-Here reposes at pres
ent the Oldest and most persistent
ghost in America. This might be in
scribed in the little adobe church
here.
Long ago, at the time of the first
Spanish invasions of southwestern
America, a Spanish friar was cap
tured by the Indians. Although kept
as a prisoner for time, he later won
their confidence and as years went
by was admitted to their peculiar re-
ligious and political circles.
AT last the rumor reached the tribe
of the advance of Coronado in search
Of treasure. The Indians feared
treachery on the part of their Span
ish friend and one night he was
stabbed to death by one of the more
skeptical members of the tribe.
The medicine men were Mortified at
the crime, for not only had they come
to respect the Spaniard's Christian
teachings but had made him par
ticipator in their own religion. And
above all, they knew what might be
expected of enraged Spaniards if they
should discover the crime.
Buried Near Altar.
The priests body was hastily
wrapped in a sheet and without any
prayer or ceremony buried deep in
front of the altar in the little Chris
tan church In Isleta.
Coronado's men never learned of
the crime, but q few years later Pc
culiar mound appeared in front of the
altar in the little church. The horri-
fled natives observed the mound was
exactly the length and width Of a
mans body. Soon the hard earth floor
cracked and one morning, just 10
years after the burial of the priest,
his body was discovered lying face up
ward above the spot where he had
been buried
On examination it was found that
the body was soft, as though the

Beautiful Tribute To
Former Richmond Girl

Many friends here of the late
Dr. J. Addison Smith, a former
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, will regret to learn OF, the
death of his youngest daughter
Mrs. Charles Holland, formerly
Miss Rhoda Smith. of Murfress-
boro. Tenn, who was beloved by
a host of friends in Richmond
The following tribute appeared
in a Murfreesboro paper:
On Thursday. March 10. in the
chapel of Tennessee College, a
memorial service was held as q
tribute to Mrs. Charles Dean
Holland, formerly Miss Rhoda
Smith, of Murfreesboro.
President Burnett spoke very
beautifully Of the influence ex-
erted by Mrs. Holland while a stu
dent for four years at Tennessee
College, and of her representing
the type of womanhood that is
the ideal Of all college aims.
Miss Dutton paid very rare
and beautiful tribute to Mrs
Holland. She emphasized the
meaning Of Alma Mater-Foster
Mother-by showing the close
and very real relationship be
tween the institution and the
young women who go from it
AS the Foster Mother shelters
the life of her daughter, enters
into her joys and sorrows and
makes them her own, so the Al
ma Mater share whatever NAV
come into the life Of its daughters
with understanding and sympa-
thy.
Miss Inflow, president of the
Alumnae, spoke Of the construc-
tive work done by Mrs. Holland
in that organization. and of her
great ambition for the growth of
IS proposed plans.
Mr. Faithful prayed beautiful
and comforting prayer.
The faculty Of Tennessee Col
met in the afternoon and offered
fitting resolutions.

" HOSE new blOuses that dispose
i of the waistline by dispensing
with belt and covering it themselves,
are having an immense success. There
is no longer any danger Of skirt and
blouse parting company under a sep
arate belt, and going their separate
ways. This in itself is enough to in
sure the triumph of these new over
blouses, but it is furthered also by
their gracefulness. A vague waist
line like an uneven hemline is more
pleasing to the. eye than a straight
line.
In these new over-blouses are all
sorts of materials for all kinds Of
service beginning with wash silks,
pOngee and cotton, for utility wear,
and ending with georgette, net and
laces for dress. All the usual mate
rails are used in them, but they are
prettiest in the very soft, sheer fab
RIGS, as fine voile and georgette. A
model made of georgette in two col
ors IS shown at the left of the two
pictured here, and is one of the most
graceful and beautiful that the de-
signers have accomplished in this
much admired material. 1t is one of
many slip-on blouses that fasten on
the shoulder, and has its collar, cuffs
and border for the agm's-eye of georg-
cite in a contrasting color. A very
simple pattern in beading finishes
design that has few rivals in beauty
of line, color and becomingness.

For Milady's Shoes.

The undressing Of the foot contin-
ues. Now women are wearing toe
caps and heel-caps. Cross straps run
up from the toes to the ankle to meet
the heel strap which fastens around
the ankle. The best to be said for
such shoes is that they use up little
leather; but that does not make them
cheap. The long, pointed shoes have
a certain popularity, but most women
still prefer the short-vamped shoe. It
is now generally accepted that the leg
should be clothed in light or trans
parent stocking, and the shoe must
be either black or in the same shade
