Miss Marie Manning Lowe, the South- @rn beauty who was to have been mar- Wied to Winfield Tucker, the elderly New York millionaire, who died at Lake Toxaway, N. C., on Saturday and was buried yesterday at Woodlawn, fa determined to fight for the estate of Mr. Tucker, provided his second will @an be found. Bhe sald as much to-day to an Eve. ping World reporter who saw her at No, & West Sixty-elghth street. She @elleves there ie a second will that leaves her all of her late fiance's for- tune. She Je not destined, however, to @et much sympathy or ald from the friends and legal representatives of Mr, Tucker. They never hoard of this stunniig brunette before she arrived in New York yesterday, accompanying the body of the millidnatre, Willlam J, Roome, of No, 11 West Thirty-fourth street, a Mfe-long friend of Mr. Tucker and ex- @cutor under a will which leaves a mill- fon dollars to various hospitals and @haritable institutions in this city, sald to-day that he had never heard of Miss Lowe's existence until she came Into town with the body, Not Invited to Mansion. Those In charge of the funeral cere Montes did not invite her to put up at the splendid Tucker mansion, No. 21 ‘West Sixty-seventh street, and she Is mow quartered In a fashionable board- ing-house up the street. If there is atly Opposition to her, however, it is not on the part of relatives of the dead mill- fonaire, as there are none, His law- yers searched in vain for relatives after Jearning of his death, but not so much Qs @ stray cousin could be found. ‘Milas Lowe was Informed to-day of Mr. Roome's expression of surprise at fer existence as a flancee or even a fiend of Mr. Tucker; also that Mr, Roome had sald Mr. Tuoker never had G@ropped a hint of her existence in his intimate ‘conversations with the mil- Monaire. The young woman (she is about @hird the age of the dead Tucker, who ‘was sixty-five) drew herself up haugh- ¢lly and replied: ' Mr. Roome's fervarks entirely dt for, Such treatment would never be accorded me Miss Lowe talked at fome length about her connection with Gistinguished Southern families and then told of her first meeting with the Fich bachelor, traveller and collector of | Grt treasures, “We first met,” she satd, “at Dr, Felloges sanitarlum in Battle Creek, | ch, Mr, Tucker and 1 were both in: | mates of the place, and were constant- ly thrown together, After we left there Mr. Tucker frequently visited me at my home in Huntsville, Ala., and met there all the members of my family, Last month he asked me to become his ‘wife, and I consented.

By Fthel Lloyd Patterson. Ink shall dry in {ts wells and pens shall rust in thelr holders, The knell of the comfo artist has been sounded. Miss Maud Summers, of Cincinnati, speaking at the second annual Con- gress of the Playground Association of America, in the American Museum of Natural History, with the fine comb of her mentality combed the wool from our blinded gaze. At last we see the Sunday Supple- ment Brigade in fts true colors. We see and we shrink in horror from them. Not even a pension shall they have, these “coarse, vulgar’ men. They shall be exterminated through starva- tion. They will have to look up their own returned drawings and eat them. We are to have no choice in the m ter, Miss Summers says, Whether we Uys ft or not we are to be * ucated above the so-called humor now cur- rent." Miss Summers is not going to allow us the latitude implied in that fine old classic: “WHAT, cry when I wesh you! Not WISH to be clean! Then GO and be dirty, Not fit to be seen!” Our contented wallowing {n mental degradation will be stopped. We will be plucked forth and polished off, willy-nilly, Misa Summers solemnly as- sures us that resistance will be worse than useless, for, In her own words: Awful, Awful Threat, “The daily papers will b solutely forced to change their standara of humor, If they don't, well—not one member of the Playground Association will buy them—that's all.” Miss Summers herself, with the brave spirit of the pioneer, “has not bought @ paper that pubushed @ comic sup- plement for oh, ever so long.” During the interview which she was kind enough to grant me, I made bold “Then Mr. Tucker made up an auto- mobile party, which {ncluded Mr, and | Mra, Moffett, of Richmond, Va.; my sister, Mrs, Willlam A.

The storm mado ir, Tucker very nervous, the next day—Saturday—he seemed to be ail right again. “We were sitting In the lobby of the Botel, with lots of people chatting all about us when Mr, Tucker was stricken. ‘We were talking about our app: marriag’, A Mr. Tucker s {d he the storm had put the road terrible condition that we m to put the wedding off fora “Then suddenly he put his his heart and cried, "I hav @harp pain here,” wit from his chair and fel dead." “Did Mr. Tucker tell you he had made a will In vour favor?” was asked. “This {s a subject on which I do aut to inquire whe..er in her opinion @ good hearty la ch ever “degraded” any- one, no matt. what the source that might have inspired it, ‘Yes, yes Indeed,” Miss Summers as- to talk at the present time,” re- Miss Lowe, “It will all come out n the lawyers get down to it.

DESDELLONA “CUTTING VP” sured me, “a laugh as well as @ sob may degrade. Look at these hysteri- cal women who go to melodramatic matinees and eat caramels and ory! They are robbing t..etr homes, wasting their energies on puerile emotions.” Where It's All Wrong, I thought to myself that the women who attended matinees, and alternately wept and ate, would be liable to con- tinue thelr wasting sorrow if all the theatres were wiped off the face of the globe, Personally, if I was the hus- band of one I would rather she would choose the plush back of an orchestra chair for her lachrymal rymnasticé than my coat collar, However, 1 didn’t say that out loud, for I was afraid I had micsed some deep “soul throb” In Miss Summers's remark that would make my consideration of the masculine laundry bill look “gross.” “Getting down’ to facts,” I finally asked Miss Summers, “just what is it Specifically that you object to about the humor in the dally papers?” “First,” replied Mise Summers, with- out hesitation, ‘1 dislike particularly the idea oP the old being made ridiculous by the young—an old man continually tricked by young boys; one small boy rampant through countless tricks that all bring discomfture to his elders, The prinolple of it ts wrong—degrading,’ “It, you aay, this ts all wrong, what are you going to substitute for it when we have been educated to proper apreciation of your standard?” I asked. “Humor ef some kind there must be. You will admit that” Substitute Easily Found, fertainly,” acquiesced Miss Sum- mers; “humor {s part and parcel of child nature, But there js plenty of delicious humor | springing from legitimate sources, Take the classics, mythology, the operas. Many of them are one-third purest humor, and the other two-thirds will instruot and educate the mind.” Truly, Miss Summers's idea opened vistas of keenest Joy to my unholy soul. I fancied Fa “playing horse’ with | Marguerite's “pig-tails;"" Desdemona! playfully tickMng Othello's ebony nose with a peacock’s feather, Mercury and Diana arresting thelr flight through space for a game of tiddly-winks. Al- ready Miss Summers's education had| commenced "to take.” Bhe interrupted my inward glee with @ serious question. ‘Do you think,” she inquired, ‘that the papers would take to the Idea now?
