Betty has some earrings
That dangle nice and long:
She bought them when she read of
sheiks
And hummed a Hindoo song.
She says she wears them every day
Because they make her feel so gay.
Betty has a handkerchief
or gaudy, silken sheen:
She wears It like a gypsy scarf
Tucked neatly in between
Her sport coat and her sweater
She couldn't use it better
Betty has King Tut gown;
It's long and kind of slinky.
Somehow it looks peculiar
With her hair so bobbed and kinky.
Long rows of small men painted brown
brown
Chase each other round her gown.
Last of all that Betty wears
(But far from least as sights)
Are sandals cleaning vivid red
AS banderoles for bull fights.
They seem, though brilliantly, to ape
The ancients' footwear in their
shape.
Fair Betty thus in sportive clothes
Combines the ways of ages;
From orient, Romany, Africa,
She takes from history's pages
And dresses like a salad gay.

Find body of Missing Hunter

The body of John Webster, an elder
ly man living near New Market, who
left his home early Saturday morning
to go fox hunting, and for whom
searching parties haye been securing
the vicinity of Massanutten Mountain
ever since, was found at 1890 Mon
day afternoon by Herman Bull near
the crest of Massanutten. At least IS
men were in the searching parties.
Evidently Mr. Webster had fallen a
distance of twenty to thirty feet when
large rock on which he was standing
became dislodged, and he had been
caught by large mass of falling rock.
His hip was dislocated, and there was
every evidence that he had been rem
dered helpless. with the result that
death occurred from the combined
effort of the accident and exposure.
The point where the body was found
was a short distance above Fences
saw-mill. His loaded shotgun was
found nearby and his horn used to
call dogs. The horn had been badly
crushed, evidently by the falling rock.
Funeral services were held from the
Fairview Church of the Brethren
Thursday afternoon, the Rev. j. S.
Roller and John Huffman officiating.
