Nine years ago last night Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, on the roof of Madisun »« Bavare Garden, saw her husband kill % Stanford White, Afterward she gave ‘testimony which helped to save him from the electric chair on\a plea of Anaanity. Mr. Cook, it is said, did not intend ‘to call her as a witness in the pres- ‘ent case until he learned she had come to New York from Chicago a day or 80 ago. Thirteen witnesses ‘testified yester- day that they found Thaw thoroughly rational in New Hampshire, but they had never discussed with him the sub- jects on which the State says he is pull irrational. Next Monday the Thaw lawyers will close their case with the testi- mony of alienists. To get in the record expert testimony that Thaw fe sane they will call Dr. Percy Hickling of Washington, D. C.; Dr. Charles T. Bancroft of New Hamp- shire of the alienista on the Federal commission that examined Thaw, and Dr. Charles K. Mills of the Unt- versity of Pennsyjvania. Gen. Frank 8.

Max Erzeowsky, elght years old, and his brother Isidor, seven years old, were asleep to-day on a cot in the kitchen pf their home, No. 309 East Seventy-fifth Street. Thoy were very close to a stove on which was a tin boiler filled with hot water. Their sister, Ida, thirteen years old, acci- dentally knocked the boiler from the stove, The boiling water fell upon the sleeping children and they were ter- ribly scalded. The cries of Ida and her mother brought neighbors and Patrolman Weiss of the East Sixty- seventh Street Station, and while waiting for the arrival of an ambu- lance the patrolman applied sweet oll and the whites of eggs. Despite his first ald efforts it was found when the children were removed to the Reception Hospital that Max will probably die. The other child has a good chance of recovering. —————— BUTLER SLAYS SISTER OF HIS MISTRESS Then Commits Suicide in Fashion- able Philadelphia Suburb— Mystery in Motive.

Instead of pointing out the pitfalls that surround the tired business woman, she has shown some of the unpleasant things that @ right to choose ner pwn purchaser. In her newest novel, “Open may happen to the girl without a business, the girl who ha been trained to do nothing but sit in the parlor and wait to get married. In a final flare of rebellion Evelyn Jaffray, the heroine of the book, calmly asks a man to marry her. “Of course he will wonder why, ! I am so hungry for independence, I don’t go out, as they say, and earn my living!” she exclaims impatiently, @ little later, “It all sounds so simple—it’s done every day in books, You know, Mr. Vrooman, you know what that amounts to, brought up as I've been! What could I do? I can speak French, yes, but well enough to teach it? 2} And who would take an American governess? Even sup- posing I were like my father’s sister, and all her family, who are proud of that sort of thing, could I teach in @ school? Of course not; I'm not half educated for it. Could I be # social secretary, for money? You know per- fectly well that from my family's point of view I might as well go into a shop directly. “And I would—I would do that, and sell antiques for Marie Fitch, if she'd take me, but, Mr, Vrooman, she wouldn't keep me a week: I couldn't do it, It isn't only that I've no busi- ness training—I haven't the gift for it any more than poor papa had. Celestine Varnham eells her cream and eggs and butter all over West- chester County and even Nelly Scher- mer says nothing to that~now: Why? Because Celestine has made a big suc- cess of it. I could no more do it than I could fly. “I can arrange a house charmingly; everybody says so. But could I do other people's houses and make a for- tune by it, as Marie Fitch has done? Never. 1 can't write or paint or act, I can't run big public movements like Mrs. Fettauer, What can I do? What was I brought up to do? “lL can play bridge, but not well enough, unfortunately, to buy gloves from it. | can play golf, but not well enough to teach it. | can ad aloud well and write notes and shop for people, and | can keep a house running—if ough.

And | was ing it under the rules—the rules of the open market!" “And I stand by every word of that,” declared Mrs, Bacon, as motored up the road of turns and rises that leads to her red-and-white Georgian house in the purple shadow of the Pocantico hills, “In ‘To-day's Daushter’ I tried to explain how sone of the new systems break down, ‘Open Market’ gives the other side, and shows, I grant, that the old sy: tem of training a girl for marriage only is also likely to break down tu- day, well, “We don’t realize how conditions with 4. have changed. Years ago, when the country was less settled, girls didn’t need to be trained for anything but marriage. They married as a matter of course; there was a man for every girl, That is still true in the West. The girl who goes to Colorado can get married eight or ten times on the train, by telegraph. But here in the East the situation is different.” “It is obvious,” I said, “that men are not marrying as early, and that many of them are not marrying at all. But how do you account for it?” “economics,” said Mrs, Bacon, with a decided nod of her dark head, framed so effectively by her hatbrim of deep coral, jen cannot afford to marry. The young man of thirty who makes from $2,500 to $5,000 a year can lead a perfectly delightful life bachelor, with his apart- town, his clubs, his week- in the country. If he marries in just barely eran along in a email flat, especial yi two or three children come. The girl of to-day is not educated to help him make the go as far as it should go. “But meanwhile what is the girl untrained for self-support to do, espe- cially if anything happens to her par- ents or their income? She is on the open market, and no one is even try- ing to find a purchaser for her. Abroad, we have the hunting mother, But we have never taken that type seriously here, any more than we have the chaperon. The latter ts supposed to be a protection against the man who pursues, but the American man doesn't pursue, There is no man whom I receive in my house with whom I wouldn't feel safe in leav- ing my daughter.” Right here | may say that inter- viewing Mrs. Bacon is rather like catching a humming bird. She lights on a subject, sucks the sweet—or bit- ter-sweet—out of it, and is off to an- other before you can even help your- self to a pinch of salt, This time, however, I made a determined effort, “Do you think a girl in the open ket has the right to propose?” Yertainly I do,” replied Mrs. Ba- con, “Abroad the parents realize that if they prepare a girl for nothing but marriage they should see to It that she gets married, According to the Améri- can point of view the American giel is capable of anything. Since her parents shirk the duty of finding her @ husband, why not let her look out for herself?" “But that Involves her deliberately asking @ man to support her for the rest of her life.” “If men mean all these beauti- ful things the: she retorted —"that the wife is half the bat- le, presiding over her husband's hearth, queen his heart, mother of children—then a girl isn’t asking for very much when she propos And she would merely ask, there would be nothing to compel the man to marry her.” “Yet you must admit that, even with the right to choose her pur- chaser, the open market is an ignoble position for a gir,” I said, “Did I hold Evelyn up as an ex- ample?” the novelist flashed back. “One of the things I wanted to get | over was her sense of the unfairness | of it all. The open market must mean many mi without | think these are all wrong sure to end unhappil “Then you do see that a girl's pla may be in the business office before marriage, if not after?” I inquired, the vous satisfaction and I d almowt ¢ - For SaLc!! SOUND IN WIND, ‘ LIMB Ano, TeMren!! Many of us must feel who have read Mrs. Bacon's other books. “Every girl should be trained for port,” she conceded frankly, “though I hope that word will broaden out to mean something besides sten- ography and typewriting. It seems to me that when she is a baby parents should begin to put aside money for their daughter as they do for their son's college education or as the French do for the dowry. Then, if she doesn’t marry, she can use the sav- ings for ua technical education, “It her parents want her to stay home until the right man appears, T think it only fair that they should poy her as large a salary as she could earn elsewhere, the money to be hers, without question or suggestion, to do with as she ple It's money, money, money that's responsible for most of this restlessness among wom- “ ended the novelist emphatically. ——— THOMAS KING'S BODY IS NOT IN PAUPER’S GRAVE Brother Long Ago Defrayed Funeral Expenses of the Former Millionaire Spender.
