He wants the world to think of
Evelyn Nesbit and Harry K. Thaw,
nrxl as principals of the most sensa

decade ago, but as the father and
mother of Russell Thaw, renowned
surgeon.
Young Thaw is living here in a

many years,” she says smiling hap
pily, “that I’ve been able to have
him all to myself. For mo t of hi:-
time has been spent in my mother’s
up-state New 1 <>"k.
