The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1923-04-20

She stated that she had gone
up at once to his room. the door of
which had been left open by the but
Ter when he rushed out. She had
crossed to the bed and called him by
name. When he did not answer. she
looked closer and saw that he was
dead. Her voice broke little on this
last statement, but she soon recovered
and continued. The next thing she
had done, she said, was to call the
doctor.
For the first time, the district at
torney took hand in the proceedings.
''Tell us how you found him."
She answered that he was lying on
his back, the bedclothes pulled up
around his chin, and his hands by his
side. She had not pulled the bed
clothes down from the body, nor dis
turbed them in any way. 1t was not
until she had noticed the wound in
his head that she realized he had been
shot.
did you disturb the body?" was
the next question.
There was a long silence, then halt
ingly. "I-well, that isl did close
his eyes. Their expression fright
ened me, so-I-closed them"
She received a rather disguised look
from the district attorney, who asked,
Did you not know that the body
should have been left as you found it.
"I-" she made arf appealing ges-
ture: 81 never thought of that. Only
of his eyes! They frightened me,
they-stared SO. simply closed them.
But I did nothing else"
King then asked question thar
surprised me- "You thought he had
committed suicide?"
She hesitated, started to speak,
stopped and at last found her voice.
"Why, yes. That-that isl did at
the time. But / don't know what to
think now"
why did you think he killed him.
self?"
This seemad harder question to
answer than the other.
"Why, / don't know. You see, he
was shot; and knew of no one who
would want to kill him. AS far as

that goes, / know of no reason why
he should have wanted to take his
own life.'
The next questions were along the
line she had suggested by her answers.
Could she not think of some reason
why he might have committed sui
eide ill health or money troubles
Had he quarrefed with anyone lately
She seemed to have more difficulty
with these last questions than with
any Of the previous ones. She was
so long in answering that some of
them had to be repeated several times.
She was so careful of what she said
that she gave me the impression that
she was trying to keep something
back.
In response to the first question,
she repeated that she knew no rea-
son why Slyke should want to COM
NIT suicide. She had heard of NO
money troubles, and his health was
good. No. she had never heard of
his having quarreled with anyone. II
was this last answer that she had hes
ltated longer over than over any of
the others. and it was the one which
caused me to feel sure she was hiding
something.
The question regarding the revolver
that had been found in Sykes hand
she answered readily enough. He had
kept 1t in his room. just where. she
did not know; 1t was one that he had
bought year before.
When questioned as to her own do.
ings on the night of his death, she
could tell us nothing of value. There
had been card party, but she had
gone to bed about ten O'Clock and had
not even heard the men go out. Dur.

in CALICO PRINTS
Designs Of Oriental Tendency in
Evidence in All the Latest
Wearing Apparel.

TIL calico dress Is setting its inn
print on all fashions; that is, the
new print known as calico from Cal
cutta, name used during the early
Victorian period when the queen first
became Empress of India and a big
English vogue began for printed
stuffs. These calico effects, notes a
fashion writer in the New York Trib-
une, are the apotheosis Of the Cal
cutta cotton prints, as this so-called
calico of East Indian effect is done not
only with prints but with an exquisite
embroidery and delicately patterned
braidings; all of which follow the
Oriental tendency from point Of
mixed colorings and infinite detail.
Lanvin is showing dresses which
are solidly embroidered and she often
includes a solidly embroidered jacket.
Gabrielle Chanel, who is one Of the
most popular authorities on dress. is
showing entire costumes covered with
fine soutache, not the old-fashioned
black soutache but lovely beige, brown
and cafe au lait tones intermingled
with designs worked out in the new
fluorescent tones. When first seen one
hardly knows what to make Of these
soutache dresses. They look different
from anything heretofore SEEN. They
are tremendously expensive and thus
will be more or less exclusive.
New calico effects are worked out
with infnitesimal cross-stitching in
multi-colors done on a soft neutral
crepe de chine. These dresses seem
to hold within themselves a thousand
points of scintillating lights. The
stitchings are so fine and the cOlors
so intermingled that one thinks Of
fabric rather than embroidery.
AS for prints. there is no limit to

the calico effect on georgette, crepe de
chine, crepe marocain, crepc mongoi.
crepe ROMAN, silk jersey, every
weight of cotton crepe, voiles. all the
eponges and blistered things-all are
printed. Thus there are dresses and
wraps, hats, handkerchiefs, Innings,
peignors and pajainas that are
printed. Parasols and fans are made
from printed stuffs; jewelry and other
ornaments of painted porcelain. enam-
eled glass and metal are incrusted
with jewels in calico effect.
Shoes are being inlaid with bright
bits of color. Stocking clocks are
embroidered In multi-colors and shoe
buckles are in bright enamel. metals
and porcelain, also in silk embroidered
patterns, initiating these prints. One
wonders just how far the riot Of color
will reach.

Designs of Gold and
Silver Here to Stay

The charms of silver and gold. as
applied to dress, show no signs of
abatement. At first we took the appli-
cation Of metal to our gowns with more
or less amusement and not the least
show Of seriousness. We used 1t In a
spirit of indulgence. Then we began
to see how really distinguished our
gowns appeared. Now, as we look
about at the passing winter styles and
the coming ones for spring. we see In
Vulnerable touches Of metal ond some
frocks and costumes made solely Of
this material.
Metal stuffs are charming in many
more ways than one. They have a
way of touching up dress whenever
SO little quantity is used so that it
looks much more worthy of public at
tention than 1t did before the glittering
trimming was added. They need no
trimmings. They cannot stand extra
decorations. They are sufficient in
themselves.
During the last winter the best
dressed women in New York wore
metal frocks for evening. One was
able to pick them out as the most
stunning of all the women in any room
full of people. And in every instance
the metal GOWNS were made so that
their own materials were the center
and the all of the gowns design. Now
that the spring styles are being shown
at the American designers places, we
see these metal materials appearing
constantly in the collections-sure
proof that the style is not going to lay
down in its hands just because spring
is here. but that 1t has decided to go
right on with its expression

Shoe Buckle Ornaments
Must Have the Fringe

. Buckle ornaments for spring are not
complete without their accompanying
fringe, and the character of this APP
pendage is quite different from that
we have kRown in the past. Metal
plays an important part. and one finds
it worked in chaplet effect with beads
of various outlines. A great deal OF
lapis blue Is shown. and one number
Of this sort introducing a deep fringe
Of blue beads combined with long
back bugles that drop from decora-
tive buckle Of black galalith. Striped
beads add an odd effect to many Of
these novelties. Buckles that are in
great demand include some entirely
new treatments in which is an inlaid
bronze effect. One of these Is a strik-
ing peacock figure ir brilliant colors
inserted on the metal base.

New Nose Wells Are in
Shape cf the Half-Moon

Nose wells for women are new, pref
ty and economical. They are small.
in half-moon shape, to be worn with
small hats. The straight line goes
around the hat and the curved part
comes just under the nose or possibly
lust covers the lips. They suggest
the small mask of other days which
figures in many romantic stories. and
are piquant. They come in some sim
pie mesh with little border around
the curved edge and in different
shades of brown. in gray and black.
There are a few which come with q
more elaborate all-over design. Be
ing small, they take little material
and are, therefore, less costly.

Sleeves for sprIno

From Paris we learn that sleeves
vary almost as much as necklines.
The very short version is giving way
to long sleeves and thrfe-quarter
lengths. The bell or mandarin sleeve
is often used and lined with con-
trasting material.
