In the traditions of gay Ilfs In New
York there Is no Incident more pic
turesque nor better remembered than
that of "The Girl In the Pie."
A benqugt was In progress In James
Oreese's studio. The studio was a syn
or.ym of luxury. Ths entertainments
given there were Lucullan in charac
ler, and a truthful description of them
would read like a chapter from "Quo
Vadls." In thia Instance, the host had
surpassed all hla former munificent
hospitality.
Ths "little apread,” as ' Mr. Breese
chose to designate It, cost (220 a plate.
Artists, architects and men about
town, with aeveral women of the
"fashionable” stratum of .the under
world, were his guests. There had
been much drinking and little eating,
toaate brilliant but requiring expurga
tion for family uee. and the hour was
nearing dawn. The gueete were try
ing politely to repress eigne of weari
ness when Hie host served his piece
da resistance.
Girl Bulats Pie's Crust
Pour negroes - entered, carrying a
huge pie, around which were grouped
was candles of every shade. The ne
groes retired. The banqueters looked
on In am axed silence. Beneath the
crust, in the middle of the table, there
was a faint stir, aa If from some liv
ing thing. At a sign from Mr. Breast
the orchestra, concealed by i>hlm».
swung Into the strains of the old
nuraery Jungle:
"Four and Twenty Blackbirds Baked
In a Pie."
Blmultaneouely the etlr beneath the
cruet Increaeed. It was burst by a
movement from beneath, and there
roes a slim figure, half child, half
woman, who turned a pretty Infantile
bird about to fly, while twenty-four
golden canerfes. that had been Im-
nrleoned In cifts with her, released
bv her hand, flew about In every dt
rect Ion.
Taken by Stanford White.
One of the men sitting at the end
of ths table rose and pressed his way
to the middle. He laughingly lifted
the girl from the table to the floor.
H» wax Stanford White.
The girl was Susie Johnson, a child
modal. Shx wax then U years old,
Immediately after the dinner she die
appeared. Her mother, who lived at
104 Eighth avenue, sought the aid of
the police and the press to find the
girl, but they were unsuccessful.
For three years she remained In hid
Ing. When she was found she told I
revolting story of mistreatment and
desertion by the man whom Nemesla
overtook In the midst of lights and
m 9<!c and laughter on Monday night.

T was llftsd from the pie to a seat
at the table, and found myself ths
queen of the revel," ahe said,
waa daxsling for a little while, but In
the end It proved a sad qutendom,
Mr. White was kind for a short
time, but he went to Europe, and when
he returned and I tried to eee him
he was never In. He had Instructed
his clerks to get rid of ma with as
llllle trouble aa possible. I never saw
him again.”
Thus was the girl, not yet sixteen,
turned Into the streets to live as aha
might.
By a strange coincidence, Susie
Johnson married, and when her hus
band learned of the "girl In the pie”
dinner he brooded over the epleodq
In his wife's life until he almost be
came Insane. It ended, not In Harry
Thaw's way, but by hit desertion of
her.
CANDY FACTORY GIRLS WALK OUT
AND THEN WALK RIGHT BACK IN
What those addicted to slang might
call the "candy kid*" and others the
sweet girls, created some little ex
citement at Block's candy and crack
er factory on Kills street, near West
Hunter, by "striking," or having a
"walk out." After reconsidering the
matter, many of them decided to come
back and are now at work again. For
a few days, however, It looked ae
thought there was to be a candy famine
In the sticky stick line, which would
have greatly Inconvenienced the chil
dren, to say nothing of Mr. Block.
The walkout was ronflned to the
stick candy department. Some thirty
girls, mostly helpers, decided that their
wMei should be higher and hours
shorter. After holding a number
meetlpgi the declelon waa reached
leave unless something win done by
the owners of the big establishment.
This was carrlsd Into effset last Sntur
day, but Thursday morning many of
the gtrle were back In their old post
lions.
Mr. Block said Thursday that ha
had about all the employees he wanted.
