French Women Improving.

While French women are still far
from having their hands on the bal
lot, their position before the law is
rapidly improving. as is shown by
the different attitude which French
iuries now take toward women who,
tired of being ill-treated by their
husbands, take the law into their
own hands. In two recent cases
where wives had killed their legal
tormentors they were promptly ac-
quilted, it having been proved that
they acted in self-defense when their
lives were endangered, and one of
the jurors added under his breath,
Served the fellows right" Such a
position is thought to be highly sig
nificant of change in public senti-
ment, because in the past it was felt
that women should never take the
law into their own hands, even in ex-
treme cases; consequently, those who
did so seldom escaped punishment of
some kind.-New York Tribune.

Sunshine For the Hair.

There is no better tonic for the
hair than sunshine. Sit outdoors in
the sunshine every day. Loosen the
hair and let the sun shine on 1t and

suning the hair every day not only
keeps it sweet and clean, but is good
for the scalp also. The sun will soon
cure any disease of the scalp and
healthy scalp makes strong, beauti-
full hair. Brushing the hair every
day, "a hundred strokes" as our
grandmothers used to say, will make
it soft and glossy as silk.

BEAUTY GONE; ACTRESS CRAZY
Stuart Robson's Sister Threatens TO
Leap from Fifth Story.
Fading of Her Charms Drove Her
from stage and Preyed on Her
Mind-Taken TO Bellevue.

New York, Dec. 13.-Standing in the
center Of her room on the fifth floor Of
the Hotel Normandie yesterday after
noon, Mrs. Mary Stuart Nevison. an
aged actress, and sister OF the late
Stuart Robson. went raving mad. She
Darricaded the doors TO her apartments
and threatened, if any one attempted to
enter, to cast herself from the window
to the street below.
Shortly after Mrs. Nevison retired to
her room Tuesday night. she appeared in
the hotel Office in her bare feet and
scantly clad. The housekeeper took Mrs.
Nevison back 20 her room.
All during the time the woman main
tained her barricade a number Of police
men stood guard on the sidewalk in front
Of the hotel TO warn pedestrians TO keep
out Of range IN case the actress threw
herself out of the window
Shortly after S o'clock last night ar
Tangements were made TO remove Mrs.
Nevison to Bellevue Hospital for exam
inatiOn. She consented to accompany a
policeman. with the understanding that
she was going to seek an engagement
on the stage. She was hastened away in
a cab TO the hospital
Rudolph Otto who said last night that
he had once been the personal represen-
tative Of Stuart Robson. was willing 90
guarantee payment on all bills contracted
by the unfortunate actress. Mr.. Otto
said.
I have known Mrs. Nevison for many
years, and have had great respect for
her Her husband before his death held
a position in the arm Of Teft Weller &
Co. Her brother, Charles Stuart. ninety
years old. is a rich merchant living in
Charleston, s. c."
Mrs. Nevison forty-five years ago start
ed her stage career. She was but a
child. And then like a flower she bloom
ed out into perfect womanhood. Her re-
markable beauty charmed great audi
ences in all parts Of the country. She
played leading parts with the greatest
actors of her day.
Mrs. Nevison often told her friends that
with the passing Of her beauty she would
lose her reason. With the fading of her
remarkable beauty came the lack Of en-
ployment After being compelled to re-
tire from the stage. Mrs. Nevison lived
with her brother, Stuart Robson, until
MS death. When Robson died il was
found that he had left but little wealth,
which fact neeessitated the giving up
OF the luxurious apartment in the west
end of the town.

After a time she bade Mrs. Bradley

their acquaintance has only been of five

Mrs. Bradley dreaded to see the matron
leave her among strangers, and behind
the dark walls Of her new prison.
Locked behind prison bars for the first
time since her Imprisonment, Mrs. Brad

cell at the District jail, and longed for
the company Of her children. Until last
night she had been In rooms at the po-
lice station and az the House of Deten-

But conditions had changed last night
The man she had shot was dead, the
coroner's jury had held her for action
by the grand Jury. and she had been
placed in a cold. damp cell IN the gov

in and there was no comforting matron

AS Mrs Bradley entered the immense
brick building with bars at every en-
trance and every window, she glanced
at the surroundings and was apparently
on the verge Of a breakdown. She was
supported by Policeman Emmert, and her
attorneys succeeded In consoling her.
When the strong barred gate closed with
click and a rattle she looked around
her and, as she realized that she was in
the custody OF the government officials,
she cried for the first time after leaving
the mOTgue
The desire for a real friend or some
one TO pour out the troubles Of her heart
appealed 10 Mrs. Bradley last night more
than ever before in her life

she said, over and over again.
While her condition is not serious. she

she could be heard to moan.
