EVELYN THAW TELLS HER OWN STORY
For the First Time She Bares Her Real
Life in a Remarkable Autobiography
Starts From Childhood and Car
ries Romantic Story to the
Present Day.
B. EVELYN THAW
CHAPTER I.
H
riod of life is the mu.«t elusive. i
1 lived a! Tarfteitum. on the All--
<han> River. List Pittsburg.
Mj father waa • lawyer ’‘Win” Nes- j
bi: was respe* :ed from nn< end of ih*» ’
ountry to tli»* otia r ; n.. had a Fepu
ation which extend'd beyond Up
line of local celebrity \ < harming,
genial man. 1 have only the m*’><
tender memories of him, for 1 e di d
when 1 was 10. and that is an au
when a < hild begins to form the m >at
rus ate impr< ssions of those she has
marked down for hero wqrship?
My < hildhood was the happiest time ■
of my life. That i- the impression 1
have now I know that 1 was a tom
boy, very keen on prize fights (of al’. ■
things in the world), and <i« lighted In [
promoting combats in set ’tided spots j
between < hihiren who wen \ > • i
beautiful to me. but who. in th«- e> s I
of my outraged parents, were ♦ in
most impossible playmates.
My mother is one of the sweete.t
women I have ever met. Artistic to
tier finger tips, her home has ev* r
b*en an harmonious and beautiful
tning.
I do not know e.\a< Uy in what por -
tion my father left hi r, but my recot
lecyon is that my mother had to pay
frequent visits to court on account of
my father’s n(fairs.
At first, as far a*» 1 remember, v\e;
seemed to l»e in some prosperity, bu* '
afterward there was a great dial ,fj
v orr\. Whatever money my mother I
had was gone, and it was mcessac. ’

nouse to outsiders. • * •
Mother had made up her mind th l
ehe eii’d leave Pittsburg: and go to
Philadelphia. She was very artistic,
and she hoped to get a position as a
designer. We w4Te sent to an aunt,
and afterward to a family which mv
mother had known in Pittsburg.
I was between 13 and 14 at the
time, just old enough to take an in
telligent interest in my parent s Af
fairs. I do not remember exactly what
idea I had as to our future when 1
went to Philadelphia. • • •
It was there I met Mrs Dara li,
who was an artist. She was attract- .1
by my face, and asked m if i would
sit as a model for her. Here, then,
began the great education, an educa
tion the fruit of whi h was to serv.'
me in such good stead in later years.
Other artists would dr<m Into he
studio on Chestnut street, and one
woman who came was very anxious
that 1 should sit for her.
Evelyn Thaw’s story of her life, oi
which the foregoing is the beginning,
will appear in the Magazine Section
of THE SUNDAY AMERICAN next
Sunday. Do not miss this most re
markable autobiograph'' of one of the

18 GIVE JOY TO
FARMER'S WIFE
Progressive Ideas and Modern
Equipment Make Her Lot Far
Happier One. •
.v
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 2v.--<>n the
primitive f;irm the convenience and
welfare of the housewife is the last
to receive consideration. The farmer
builds a big barn and a small shack
for a house. The well, which is the
only source of water for both, is
sunk near the barn. The distance the
beasts have to go for water is meas
ured in feet, while the distance the
wife carries the house supply in a
bucket is measured by rods.
It’s the exemplification of the rule
of the savage and the Indian:
the w'omen do the work.”
One of the purposes of the third
annual conference of the Bankers’
Committee on Agricultural Develop
ment and Education, held here re
cently, was to change that condition.
1 Alter the more progressive farm
ers sank the well near the house, in
stalling a windmill or a gasoline
pump. Pipes were laid from the well
to the tank at the barn. The house
wife didn’t have to go so far for the
water, but she still had to carry *t
into the house in a bucket. She
lifted it to the shelf; lifted it from
the bucket by dipper into the dish
pan; lifted it from the dishpan to the
refuse bucket; then lifted it again to
empty It at the bark door.
The modern idea is to sink the well
and Install the pump or mill so the
house will be between them and the
barn. Then direct the pipe to the
barn, which has a small elevated
tank. In that way the housewife has
oidy to turn a‘faucet for the water

supply. The installation of a drain
in the house will relieve her of all the
lifting of water.
And that all means relief to the
drudgery of the farmer’s wife.
It s through the farm expert, or the
(*ounty agent, as he is called in many
i Stares, that the improving of living
onditions on the farm is expected.
He is to be the farmer’s business
agent. He is to spread the gospel of
improved living conditions as well as
better crops.

SURER LEPROSY
Two Patients in the Philippine
Islands Recover From *Most
Dreaded of Diseases.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. —An ap
parent cure for leprosy has been
found by surgeons of the Public
Health Service at the leper colony in
the Philippines—in fact, so much of
a cure that two patients who showed
distinct signs of leprosy when they
were admitted to the institution have
been discharged as cured. However,
there seems to be uncertainty as to
just which of two treatments effected
the cure—a vaccine treatment or
chaulmugra oil taken by mouth and
hypodermic ally.
The patients who were discharged
were given both treatments, but there
are said now to be in the hospital a
number of other cases which have
shown "negative” for the past twen
ty-two months, and these received
only chaulmugra oil treatment.
Surgeon Victor G. Heiser, of the
Public Health Service, chief guaran
tee officer and director of health of
the Philippine Islands, in reporting on
the two cases which were discharged
says:
'Two patients who had been con
fined to the San Lazaro Leper Hos
pital <>n account of leprosy, have been
pronounced apparently cured and dis
charged from that institution on pro
bation.
“The first gase was that of a male
Filipino, aged 27, who was admitted
to the San Lazaro Leper Hospital,
Manila. May 29. 1909. On admission
the case clinically showed thickened
reddish spots on the nose and thick
ening and discoloration of the lobe
of the right ear. He received vac
cine treatment at intervals, beginning
in August, 1909, but at the expiration
of one year no change w’as noted in
Jiis condition. From September, 1910,
to November, 1910. crude chaulmugra
oil was given by mouth in increasing
doses.
“The case showed evidences of im
provement. November 10. 1910, chaul
mugra oil, combined with oil of cam
phor and resorcin, was given hypo
dermically. By May 6, 1911, the le
sions above described had disappear
ed and leprosy bacilli were not found
in repeated microscopical examina
tions.
“On June 11, 1913. a most careful'
clinical and microscopical examina
tion was made of the patients, which
resulted negatively for leprosy, and
as the patient had now been appar
ently cured for a period of over two
years, he was discharged on proba
tion.
"The other case was that of a
Filipino woman, aged 22, who was
admitted to San Leper Hos-
Manila, January 7. 1910. Clin
ically this patient presented a suf
fused countenance, due to generalized
infiltration.
"Upon admission this patient was
placed upon a vaccine treatment for
| a period of five months, but at the
■ end of the first month after her ad
i mission crude chaulmugra oil by
I mouth w’as given in addition to the
I vaccine.
"After the second month the pa
tient began to improve rapidly, and
on May 6. 1911, leprosy bacilli could
not be found oil microscopical ex
amination.”

Greek King Keeps
Under Guard in Paris
Expected That Monarch Wil! Try to
Undo Impression Made
in Germany. *
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Sept. 20. —King Constantine .
of Greece arrived in Paris last night ;
under an almost impenetrable incog- I
nito, and was driven at once to the
Hotel Lotti, where he refused to see
any callers. The plans of the Greek
monarch were so well guarded that
there no opportunity for the or
ganization of any public protest
against him. owing to his recent
speech in Germany. However, his re
ception, such as it was. was unofficial
and the reverse of cordial.
It is generally conceded now that
Emperor William and. King Constan
tine blundered when they attempted
to pit the Prussian training against
French tuition.
The King will lunch with President
Poincalre on Sunday, and it is ex
pected he will make some effort to
undo the mischievous impression cre
ated by his subsidiency to Germany.
Doctor Gives M. D.’s
Credit for Slit Skirt
Campaign of Medical Men Against
Unhygienic Dressing Results
in Present Styles.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—The editor of
The Chicago Medical Recorder, tak
ing note of slit skirts, diaphanous
gowns and other new fashions, con
fesses in the current number that "one
does see astonishing sights, much that
is startling, more that is ridiculous.”
On the same page, however, is the
reflection that "observant travelers
say that among many of the
savage tribes goes hand and hand
with nakedness.” And, anyway, he i
finally rejoices. “Physicians have
made every- effort to convince wom
en that their clothing was unhygienic
—and if these much-needed changes
can be brought about in the name of
fashion, why cavil?”

HUSBAND WES
NEW RECDRD IN
ASKING ALIMONY
Boston Man Enters First Claim
Ever Known to Courts of the
Bay State.
BOSTON, Sept. 20. —Broken teeth,
attacks with utensils ranging from
rolling pins to hot flatirons, poison
threats and a variety of other com
plaints were embodied in the suit for
divorce, with alimony, filed yesterday
by Edward A. Blakeney, against his
wife, Mary A. Blakeney, of Ran
dolph.
Mr Blakeney’s suit, unique alone
in the fact that for the first tim< in
the history of Massachusetts courts
a man sought alimony from his wife,
proved the more unusual because of
the specifications which he detailed
to support his charge of cruelty on
the part of Mrs. Blakeney.
To secure his claim for alimony,
Mr. Blakeney also places an attach
ment for $2,000 on the Blakeney
house in Randolph, w hich he charges
was bought with his money and
merely placed in her name.
Though Mr. and Mrs. Blakeney
were married in March of 1883, her
“acts of cruelty’” did not begin until
1900, according to his bill of specifi
cations. His charges indicate that
then they began in earnest.
In Randolph, he alleges, she threw’
a carving knife at him with such
force that its handle was broken
when it hit the w r all behind him.
! Later in the same summer, he says,
she struck him in the face and forced
him to sleep in the barn.
than a year later, he claims,
she aimed a hot flatiron at his face,
which struck his shoulder and
scorched his clothing. The next
event was at supper time, when she
chose a saucer, which again missed
his face, but cut his ear as it whis
tled by.
When a building on the estate on
which they were living was destroyed
by fire, he says, she accused him of
burning it, and later abused their
son, and Insisted that he “lick" him,
so that they had to leave.
Early’ in 1903, he sets forth, she
threw a bottle containing a "very
heavy substance” at him, but on this
i occasion also her aim was poor. She
had better luck, he claims, with a
beefsteak be brought home, for it hit
lilnl in the neck.

SIOO,OOO Contract With Ha'i >
Caine Amazes Literary World,
Says Manager of Cassells.
I
NEW YORK. Sept. 20.—Arthur
Spurgeun. managing director of Cas
sell's, London, arrived here on the
Cunard liner Caronia en route to ad
dress the Toronto Press Club in To
ronto on October 5. He said press
censorship of books was needed in
England, but thought from what he
had read of American book produc
tion that censorship was unneces
sary.
He said William Randolph Hearst
had made a pronounced Impression
with his publications In England. He
was especially interested in the con
tract between Mr. Hearst and Hall
Colne at SIOO,OOO a year for four
years, during w’hlch time the novelist >
will probably produce two books a
j ear.
"The enterprise of Mr. Hearst com
pels the admiral lon of all publish
ers in Europe," he said. "But I think
an English publisher would hesitate
a long time before emulating It at <
that figure. r
Regarding plays criticised In Ntew
York, Mr. Spurgeon said they could
not be tolerated for a moment in
England. A play that has to do with
consanguineous diseases he consider
ed beneficial.
“It will come to pass,” said Mr.
Spurgeon, "that this country will
have to have a Federal commission to
regulate the matters with which that
play deals. In India regulations have
caused a striking decrease in dis
ease in the army."
