Mystery of the womens outfit left in the Agriculture Bld... A female worker
discovered a full suit of womans clothing in the womens restroom. It
included everything usually worn between the hat and stockings. How they
got there (and who they belong to) is a mystery. The clothing is of fine
material and perfectly clean... the kind worn by a women of good
standing... Detectives made a thorough search and have questions the
guards and janitors.
The much heralded painting "Trilby" by Astley Cooper was placed on
exhibition last Thursday in the Tribly Temple on the east midway. One
thousand people passed through in the first three hours. The picture is
highly endorced by eastern critics and press. To say it is wonderful and
grand but mildly expresses it. It is a beautiful vision of DeMauriers
heroine posing for the life class, standing on a pedestal in an alcove.
The effect produced on canvas has never been equaled... you believe you
are looking at a living model that the figure appears to be three feet
from the canvas... her pose is one of grace and charm.
