child born to her week ago.
81 The story of the tragedy dates back
two years. Thorson was then an ar
dent sutton for Miss Willard's hand.
She did not return his affection, how.
ever. and when he became too impor-
tunate she left home and went to Min
nesota. There she formed new ac-
quaintances and entered into a ro-
nance which ended in deception and
sorrow. and in time she was left all
alone. 8
@ Five months ago Thorson, who had
remained behind when the girl went
away, learned of her trouble and went
to her. He persuaded her to return
to her parents home. Then he re-
newed his suit, but with no better sue
cess than before. The girl now loved
another, and even her early admir-.
er's willingness to remove her from
the disgrace which she faced could
not move her to marry him.

"PruderY and Pantaiettes.n

What certain famous American
termed the mock modesty Of prudery
and pantaIettes" has broken out over
In Trenton. The Trenton Industrial
School OF Arts was the scene of the
outbreak. For many years the inst!-
tuition has struggled along In obscur-
ity, unknown, unhonored and unsung.
Dianna, Apollo. Eaphne and many 9th.
er classic figures were to be seen In
the art gallery of the school-that is,
they were there to be seen, although
few really did sec them.
This condition of innocuous desue-
tude was hateful and abhorrent to the
directors of the institution. They de.
termined that something must be done
to attract the attention Of the outside
world. It was then that one of the
most observing OF the directors sat IN
and took notice. It occurred to him
that Apollo wbnld be greatly improy-
