    TIGHTS, n. An habiliment of the stage designed to reinforce the general acclamation of the press agent with a particular publicity. Public attention was once somewhat diverted from this garment to Miss Lillian Russell's refusal to wear it, and many were the conjectures as to her motive, the guess of Miss Pauline Hall showing a high order of ingenuity and sustained reflection. It was Miss Hall's belief that nature had not endowed Miss Russell with beautiful legs. This theory was impossible of acceptance by the male understanding, but the conception of a faulty female leg was of so prodigious originality as to rank among the most brilliant feats of philosophical speculation It is strange that in all the controversy regarding Miss Russell's aversion to tights no one seems to have thought to ascribe it to what was known among the ancients as modesty. The nature of that sentiment is now imperfectly understood, and possibly incapable of exposition with the vocabulary that remains to us.

    From the birth of Rachel's daughter, Lillian Rose Entwistle, last April, Rachel shared her greatest love -- that of being a mother. As the family continues to grieve, we also celebrate and are grateful for the time we had with Rachel and Lilly.

    Entwistle stated that he went up to the bedroom, saw blood on his daughter, and saw that both his wife and daughter had been shot.
