COUNTESS’ DANCE
COSTUME TWO FIG
LEAVES AND APPLE
OAK BLUFFS. MASS. Aug 6 This
summer resort almost fell off the Is
land today when somebody spread a
story that the titian-haiied Countess
Irmgard VonßottentHat has a new
dance, in which her costume consists
of two fig leaves and an apple.
And It's true
The Countess irmgard. wlm appears
at smart gatherings, has invented a
new dance, called The Temptation of
Eve.”
In this dame :!• countess carries a
large apple. The fruit represents the
apple which made so much trouble for
Adam, with the snake as the villain
The countess' costume Is cut in the
shape of two fig leaves Hut the.x will
be extra large leaves largo enough, ac
cording to the countess' idea, of suf
ficient clothes
However, it is whispered that this
dance its so startling it will never do
for this quiet sumtnet resort. The
countess is going to try it on some . jty
of cavalier tendencies first.

“Al” Jennings. Reformed. Runs
for County Attorney—Once
Under Life Sentence.
OKLAHOMA <,’ITY. Aug. 6—-The
i most remarkable candidacy for nomt
| nation to office at the avoroaching Au-
I gust primaries in Oklahoma is that of
"Al” Jennings former outlaw apd train
robber, once sentenced to life impris
lon men l and then pardoned. Jennings
is seeking the ofib e of county attorney
of Oklahoma county on the Democratic
ticket. He has made such an effectiv.
campaign that wagers are being freely
offered that he will be nominated and
elected.
Jennings is practicing law in Okla
homa City When his candidacy was
iannoun.ed it was not taken seriously
, However, a surprising change has taken
Ipl ace In the last six weeks. Jennings
i has the support of many of the most
| influential men of Oklahoma, including
ininlsters. lawyers, church members,
Imembeis of civic 01 ganizations and
public officials. One of the leading
newspapers of Oklahoma City is help
ing him.
Had Jennings tried to dodge his
criminal t ecord he might have made
little progress in his campaign But
he did not, and on the platform and in
tlie newspapers admitted the facts of
his past career, told what he had done,
said that his misfortunes were due to
tlie blunders of youthful folly and law
less environment, and then defied his
enemies to point to a single misstep h
had made since liberated from prison
nine or ten years ago.
