Nathalie Schenck is suing for d.

Collins.
Who is Nathalie schenck?
That's the point.
Less than half dozen years ago
Nathalie Schenck was for a while one
of the most familiar of names. But
fame not lived Up to is short lived

passion for no'oriety which they mis-.
take for fame, their idea being that
If they can get their names promi-

Nathalie Schenek furnished an in

siding very happily with her parents
at Babylon L. l. During the war with
Spain she wrote four simple lie ters
and mailed then to each Of her most
intimate friends. In effect the letters
asked each of hese friends to write
four more letters to their friends,
these to write four more. and so on.
each letter written asking the receiv-

Miss sohencl' Babylon, L. l.
Before two weeks had gone Miss

in barrels. Every letter bore money.
II was mostly dimes. but oocaaionany
appeared 25 cent pieces, haltdollars
and ,hen amounts up to 800 In one
day, July 10, an even 10000 letters

There are attelnp ed robberies and
assaults which are happily thwarted.
They are not all reported, but they
keep the countryside which is ex-
posed to them in a oondi' ion of terror.
Ttey curtail the natural and desired
liberty Of movement OF women ana

of its charm by the fear which they
create. They are an awful menace 10
the security Of the community and
have created a condition of things
which demands much more effective
treatment than anything now provid-

The city streets are none too safe,
but those who attempt crimes as well
as those who commit them are very
apt TO be caught there. Minor crimes
and attempted crimes committed in
the country under cover Of darkness
usually 60 unpunished. The gravest
crimes too frequen ly are committed
with entire impunity. The naked. de-
fepseless condition OF the country in

Our laws are lax as well. The pen
