Girls
Who Are

Useless
By LILLIAN BELL,
Authorsss.

ont know a girl who helps her mother In any way, nor do 1 know any
mothers who help their daughters to be anything but belpless bpttereios
Where has it all gone-this home life? Where is the old-fasbioned
mother who used to have her daughters confidence; who knew tbe voung
nr daughter danced with; who saw the books her daughter read, and
who selected the plays her daughter could see without harm? But then
where are the old-fashioned husbands and wives whose interests and
pleasures were identical?
NOW W e have womens clubs-just like the men have-where women
may swim and eat and drink cocktails and bat around privately inst os
men do publicly, and you may take your daughters there afternoons for
tea and hear the gossip of the day. Isn't it nice to provide these sub-
shtutes for a home to women who have none of their own Just houses
with servants?

is natural for a parent to be indulgent

$4,000 damages brought by Oscar
X lnderlied. of No 229 Goodwin

The doctor was served with the sum
mons and complaint yesterday, and has
until Jan. to make return to the
action. Michael Dunn represents the
plalntiff and lsdore Klonert has been
retained by the physician.
1nderlied is employed in the New
York offices of the Erie Railroad. He
sets up that while DR.. Bullen was at
tending Mrs. Inderlied professionally he
noticed things which caused him to be-
come suspicious that the doctor was
displacing him in the affections of his
wife. Accordingly, fix weeks ago, on
Saturday night. Inderlied claims he
and friend obtained evidence against
the couple.
1nderlied says he told his wife he
was going TO be away from home for
some days, but instead kept a watch
on the house. and late in the evening
saw the physician enter, He and his
friend then entered and proceeded to
Mrs. Inderlied's bedroom, There is said
to have been a wordy warfare and the
doctor was elected from the house.
DR.. Bullen to-day dec ared the suit

part TO submit to eXtortion. He said
he had been called to treat the woman
professionally the first call being made
about two years ago.
AS to the night when he was found In
the woman's room by the husband and
a friend, Dr. Bullen said he received a
summons during the evening to attend
the woman and was delayed getting to
the house. He was busy at the ONCE

fore going to the Inderlied home. When
he reached II he found Mrs. Inderlied
in bed and started to treat her, He had
been in the room only a couple of min

OF the suit was given with a de-
mand for $4,000. He let II pass
unnnoticed and a little later the sum
and finally to 5000, He offered 10 pay
counsel fees to the extent OF $500. and

a terrific northeaster with towering seas
that swept the foredeCk, smashed the
starboard cabin portfolios, stove in the
wooden panel doors leading from the
deck to the cabin and washed away the
cabin fittings and most of the clothing
and other personal effects of the six
saloon passengers, who stayed in their
beds until they were driven in their
nightclothes from their cabins by the in
rushing water. Returning to their rooms
they found their clothing gone. Capt
