file New Jersey Children’s Horne Ho-
ciety for a girl, who might become a
loved member of our family. Our
j two boy* had grown and moved to
Baltimore. I asked for a child be
tween five and ten. They replied that
the only girl they hod was fourteen.
They said they would send her to me
1 said 'I would drive up to the home
for her.’
Minister Tell* Story.
“Viola—I suppose you know the
girl’s name was Viola Fallis, and that
sho was thirteen at the time later
asked me for paper and envelope to
write to her sister. I gave it to her,
with stamp*. Then she asked me for
another paper and envelope. J said
’What do you want to do with that?’
" 1 want to write to a friend,’ she,
said.
“’Who Is your friend?’ I asked.
"’Mr. Williams,' she said.
“I thought nothing more about it.
but gave her the writing material*.
"It was some time later that, Mr.
Williams came to our home one eve
ning and asked to see Viola alone.
I said:
” ‘Certairily,’ and left them alone Jn
our living room.
“A little later Mr. Williams called
me in and ahowed me thy letter in
which Viola made the charge which
has placed me here. I said promptly
that I was Innocent, but Mr. Williams
said he beilevtd the girl’s story*
“Nevertheless, he stayed all night
He said he wanted to take the girl
back with him. I drove them to the
station. Both said good-bye.
Won’t Plead Guilty.
"The story of the two years’ legal
battle is known except In one or two
particulars. < >n the first day of the
trial, Mr. Williams was on the stand.
At noon recess he came to me and
said the case would be dropped, if I
would plead guilty to a minor charge.
1 said I would never do that plead
guilty to any charge of which I knew
I was innocent.
"My refusal to this compromise was
announced when the court went into
session- The prosecutor, Mr. Atkin
son, seemed to fairly blaze fire from
his eye* os he cried, ‘Then we will
push it for all it is worth.'”

BOSTON, Dec. 6 "After 8 o’clock
at night, when the children are in
bed, modem clothes are all right,"
says Mary Garden. "The evening
gowns of the prevailing mode are
marvelously beautiful. They become
women better than anything else since
fate has decreed that the human race
must have so me sort of apparel.
"On the other hand, the slit* and
hobbles of the daylight costumes are
hideous. Women can’t glide around
Jn the streets as they ran in a ball
room. and tailor-made* do not cling
gracefully like the soft, gauzy stuff*
of the evening. I wouldn’t dream of
going walking in the monstrosities
they are wearing afternoons, but the
evening gowns—ah! they are lovely.”
Is ”Trifl« More So.”
"You didn’t tear your dress Just be
fore going on the stage last night?"
was asked.
“Dow silly. It's hnilt like the gown
I wore In the second act lost year,
only perhaps a trifle—er-—”
"More so.”
"Exactly.”
"Do you approve of that sort of a
gown for thq ballroom or theater?’’
"Certainly. I would wear it to a
dance or to the opera, ft is In the
height of fashion.”
"Do you think gowns should dis
play the figure quite so much?”
"After 8 o'clock at night," said Mary
steadily, "when the children hav*
been put to bed, the filmy, dainty,
empire costumes of the present mode
arc all right. They are beautiful.
They are the most becoming costumes
woman has worn since the Garden of
Eden. They are admirable for im
portant functions.
Afternoon Gown* Hideous.
"The sort of thing that woman are
wearing in the afternoon on the other
hand, are hideous. You have no free
dom, you can't walk. You look a
fright. My afternoon garments are
very simple."
“Do you do much walking?”
"I never walk. I do not do any
thing during the opera season but
just sit still and keep from catching
cold.”
"But how do you keep your figure?"
"I have no trouble. .1 have weighed
as much as 148 pounds. But this sea
son I am down to 129 and I am
happy.”
