Habitues of Central Park asked them

sight of pretty young woman dressed
in the height of fashion and speeding
along with the utmost unconcern. She
was driving her Columbia electric vic

Clothes for the Bear.

But boys are not the only lovers OF
Teddy bears. By no means. Their lit
tie sisters like them, too. At first little
girls looked at the new playtuings with
some trepidation. Bears and dolls are
so very different. Dolls are always
ladyllke In their manners but there is
no counting on the actions of bears.
But closer examination proved that
they weren't so different after all. They
were jointed just like dolls. and their
bodies were plump and round, and they
had such denr. quaint little faces And,
wonder OF wonders. no two really
looked exactly alikel They may have
all been cut after the same pattern, but
there was a different expression in the
eyes and mouth and the whole face, in

sister decided she liked bears, too, and
olivia May, with all her gorgeous silk
and lace frocks and her fetching bon
nets, was left lying on her face in the
corner of the nursery while the little
mother transferred her affection to
Teddy.
However. the changeabIe young
mother soon found that she could not
count on being able to borrow Teddy
from her brother. so with the wisdom
of her sex che decided that the only
thing to do was to have one all for her
very own. And mammals purse was

Adams excuse and say, ''The woman
Thou gavest me, oh Lord for in most
cases it has been the wife who has
suffered wrong at the hands of the hus-
band or at least, the evidence in the
divorce courts seems to have borne out
this theory.
One of the earlier Thaws (his name
has been forgotten just for the mo-
ment) started the list. That was the
famous "Indian Princess trial. Clio
rious old "Tom' Marshall, Allegheny
county's most famous criminal lawyer,
made his reputation out of that case.
Cuba U. Quiet was the Indian prin-
cess. She married a Thaw. At least
the world recognized them as married
and the mar never made any denial of
it. She knew little of her husband or
his antecedents. When he died she
was advised to sue for her widows
dover of his rich estate. Only the old
er people of the nation remember that
trial today, but it was one of the
most remarkable ever tried here. The
Thaws won, although the popular YER
dict was in favor of the dusky Indian
girl who had pledged her life and hon
or to the scion of Thaws. All that re-
mains in Pittsburg today to recall that
famous trial is an alley named for the
Indian princess.
There is a legend that when denied
even the honor of wifehood the Indian
woman pronounced a curse on the
name of Thaw. Whether she did or
not the family has certainly suffered
from it shares of tragedies and sean
dals.
Old William Thaw, founder of the
family, never went through the divorce
courts, but he had his own troubles.
He is know only as a Christian gentle
man, philanthropist and business man
of remarkable ability. The fact that
his wife did not live with him for years
because of his fondness for the society
of other women, particularly young
girls, is not exploited so much as his
good deeds.
