Mrs, Lola Jeannette Strong Leigh ruddy complextoned Red Cross nurse, who hae just in- hertted $600,000 from a woman patient who died a year ago, would Hke to inform her spouse, whom #he married & Week ago inst Wednesday and who femained by the side of hie bride exactly two days, that: he needn't) trouble himself about returning, with or without explanations, Mra. McEvoy, attired In the spotless ‘white uniform af the Red Cross Society, walked along Fifth avenue to-day and with quiet, sometimes humorous phil- ‘ovophy, told an Evening World reporter that a worklly wise widow of the Vivacious brunette type, who hed money but {inelsted upon living in Brooklyn, waa the magnet which had @rawn from her her portly and pre- ‘viously amorous bridegroom of forty- four years. Mrs. McEvoy has conversed with this Geshing widow since her husband dis- ‘appeared, and threatens to bring some ‘kind of a lewai action. Ghe is not yet ecided whether it will be an allenation sult, or an action for divorce, in which the Brooklyn widow will be named. ‘The cause for the abrupt and some. ‘what stormy departure of her husband, sald Mre. Molvoy to-day, was her re- @usal to give him power of attorney ‘over her affairs, #0 that ho could control her new and targo inheritance, ME BORROWED $417 FROM THE “DASHING WIDOW.” ‘The day after tho wedding in tho City Hall, at which ceremony Mayor ‘Gaynor officiated, Mra, McEvoy nays she ‘went to her newly-wedded husband's Teal estate oMce at No. 68 East Thirty- fourth stroet, and found the widow oc- oupying the large arm-chair in the in- hermost office. Quite jovially, seeming- 4y appreciating the humor of the situa- ‘tion, the nurse also tells quite clab- jeretety of a shopping excursion made @ few days after her marriage by her husband and the widow, at which time hubby bought himself an claborate out- %. Mrs. McEvoy says the widow told her Mr. McHvoy had borrowed #417 « Bhort time before his marriage, saying he would pay it back as soon his bride-to-be received her inheritance. “1 vame into this inheritance through the generosity of « patient, Mrs. Stella Leouls Boulock, whom I nursed in New Orleans during the yellow fever epi- Gemic there. Mrs, Houlock, after her “«She Wears Her Clothes Superbly Because Her Figure and _ General Model Follow Closely the Lines of the Greek Models Which Great Sculptors Follow.” Q@2Q @ This Season’s Models Must Enhance Her Ap- pearance More Than Ever, for Soft, Graceful recovery, made a will in which she made me the heir to $00,000. There ‘was also an additional provision in her will that ¢f I married within one year after her death I was to recetve §50,- @0 more, That was in 19, Mrs, Bou- Jock knew then of my engagement to Mr, McEvoy, whom I met in St. Louis. We were engaged there, but later it was broken, and I met and married Charles W. Leigh, who died four Months after our marriage, “Mr. McEvoy and I renewed our friendship, fell in love over again, and about a month ago when I came to New York from the South we became engaged. It was just about this time that the contest sult against the will of Mrs. Boulock was settled, The sult was ‘brought by Mrs, Nelson Morris dr, @ married daughter, who had been emt of with only $5,000, Mrs, Boulock had been dead almost a year. If we were tw be married and conform with the provision tn her will, which gave Me the additional 60,000, we had just @me day to do it in, so we decided to Wo immediately to the City Fall and be Married. I wanted {t to be an iron- ofad marriage, so I thought the best thing would be to have Mayor Gaynor We the knot, I wanted to avoid all chances of any legal diMculties in Proving my marriage within the speci- fled time in the will. SEALOUS EVITOR CAUSED QUAR- REL, SHE THINKS. “1 thought I was going to be su- Bremely beppy. It lasted just two days. The foundation of the quarrel which caused the irate departure of my fomd husband was jad, I think, by a distant relative of mine tn St. Louls, a lawyer, who expected to marry me. I @idn't marry him, however, and 1 think he wrote several letters to my husband. “ZT understand that this Brooklyn w w has been a friend of Mr. Molovoy for ten or fifteen years. “Aso hin return to my loving arme,”* Mra.

I was prepared to find a woman of mature years, with foatures clearly do- Ploting the cares of so large an estao- Nehment. Instead I was most agreeably aurprised to mest a woman beautiful, with very blue eyes, a wonderfully shaped head, and when she smiled she showed the pearliest teeth and her whole face lghted up with the enthu- masm of youth, Her soft, curly lal was done simply in Grecian style, What did she wear? Well, it woull take a Paquin to deseribe it and then 1 am quite certain it would lose in the translation, for Madame just “speaks 4 leetlo trifle English" and no American at all, for you know the two are dif- ferent languakes, ecoording to the ex perts over here.

This problem came before Justice Glegerich to-day, in the sult for dl- Vorce brought by John B. Houston, a civil engineer, of No. #1 St. Nicholas avenue, against Mrs, Marie C. Houston. The husband's charges are disclosed in a deposition signed by Mrs. Martha J Mortimer, of No, 11 Norway street, Boston, with whom Mrs, Houston and the corespondent visited last summer. Mre. Mortimer, who is fifty-eight years old and conducts a fashionable boarding house in the Back Bay sed tion, tells of Mrs. Houston, who is de- scrited as of “medium height, well built, cultured, a decided blonde and thirty years old, coming to her home with a “Frank Collins, a tall, thin man, sem!-bald, with dark eyes and pleasant manners.”” HE SHAMPOOED “LIVELY BLONDE'S” HAIR, SHE SAYS. Mrs. Mortimer ought at first they SeTFLLIG SVYILLIL were friends who came East to rest up. She is sure the woman was Mrs. Houston, because two photographs of Mra, Houston sent to Boston by the husbarl were reco; portons as the "Ave summer season. Th duced Collins as a‘ came East with her to see she was not bitten: by the cod in the bay, They occupled separate rooms and were more like brother and aster, Mrs, Mor- timer testifies, until the fourth day of the visit, when Mrs, Mortimer became “down-Nght suspicious,” ehe ers. “This morning they seemed to be quite affectionate,” she said. “He swung her in a swing and played with the rich braids of hair which fell over the side of the hammock, didn't want to play a ‘peeping Tom's’ part, but the scene interested me and I watched,” admits Mrs, Mortimer. “Atter a while they went to the bath- room together. The door was gently pushed to, After fifteen minutes, Mrs, Collins, or Mrs. Houston, came out with her hair wringing wet. She said he bathed her hair and shampooed it and had rubbed in some cosmetics.” Mre. Mortimer then describes how Mrs, Houston and her companion dried the hair in the sun, When the meal was ready, Mrs, Mortimer saya the couple eame to the table together. “MA-H, MA-H1" HE CRIED, AS SHE ED HIM. “She kept calling him ‘Laddie’ and ‘Laddie, dear,” a name Mrs, Mortimer had not heard before, she says. “Al- though he had a spoon and a knife and fork at his plate, she fed him with her spoon, cut up his victuals with he: knife and said, as she fed him, ‘Chick, chick, chick,’ as if she was feeding a baby. Mr. Collins assumed the meanor of ap infant and yelled ‘Ma-h, ma-h, dive (give) me-m After this experience, Mrs. Mortd- mer's mature years, she says, con- vinced her the couple Were more than mere “pals.” At No. 5 Burlington ave- hue, the house of another friend, Mra. Mortimer said, Collins and the woman “cut up the same didoes,” The news of the couple's trip reached the ears of the husband, who had been West on an extended trip. He found Collins and his wife had been about Boston and Cambridge several montha. Papers were served on Mra, Houston, but so he has not replied, Whether the incidents Mrs. Moriimer details are sufficient for a divorce back, bas been tested the world over and been approved by three generations.
