NEW YORK.-The lurid t1ashlng

does it call alluringly to the innocent
to come and seek ruin?
Evelyn Nesbit. a. girl Of Is. heard

1t is from the country. the smaller
cities and the larger towns that the
girls of the Evelyn Nesbit type come.
They know little, or nothing OF the
world. If they have ideals they are
soon cast aside for the great. shallow.
artificial things which to them appear

men as Stanford White. An evening
at ms studio was supposed to give
one of these an exalted height in Bo

girl has learned too late that a sup

a moments amusement to the mer
of that gayly gilded artificial world
