MARTYR TO
NOTOR|ETY, BARRED.
FROM BIG HOTELS
continued from FIRST Page,

tinues her career in the white glare of
Broadway. The lure of the music, the
lights and laughter of the Great White
Way are as wine to the former chorus
girl and model. Since her husband be-
came an inmate of the State Asylum
for the Criminal Insane she has been
seen in the blazing midnight resorts
where those who don't look like thirty
dollars are unwelcome.
Twice she has been publicly reported
in the company of e. r. Thomas, whose
handsome wife mas just sailed for
Europe with his mother, who Is said
to be critically III. Her dinner EN- tete
with Thomas at the Cafe Boulevard re-
suited in Thaw's determination to ac-
cede to a final separation. followed
quickly by Evelyn's announcement that
she would seek an annulment of her
marriage to the Pittsburg millionaire.
The second meeting resulted in a
speedy exit from the grill room at the
Hotel Knickerbocker, where dinner was
already ordered and being served.
Denial from Mrs. O'ReiIIy.
Mrs. Thaw's declaration that on the
night she. with Thomas, was elected
from the Knickerbocker, she vas with
Daniel O'Reilly, is contradicted by the
lawyers wife; and a chorus girl, Lii
liam Lorraine, who Evelyn declared had
been mistaken for her on hat occasion,
says that it was Mrs. Thaw, and not
she, who was driven from the Broad
way grill room.
Colonel Dick, manager of the Hotel
Prince George, makes this statement:
Mrs. Thaw's suite was engaged
through her lawyer. Daniel O'Reilly. 1
have known MI. O'Reilly for some time.
He told me that Mrs. Thaw's household
in Park avenue had been broken up,
and that she wanted a quiet hotel. He
engaged for her a suite of rooms, and
Mrs. Thaw with her maid came here.
The suite was rented by the day and
there was no lease.
"She will not live in the Prince
George again. She may have been here
today but she is not here now. AS far
as 1 know, she is out of the city.
81 have los some good patrons by
this unfortunate affair. I am, of course,
sorry for 1t. Mrs, Thaw's suite is va
cant. She will not occupy it again"
Mrs. Thaw had fitted up the house
leased for her by her husband with con-
siderable care and attention to artistic
details. Her menage consisted of a
maid, q footfnan, q chauffeur for her
electric hanson, a chef and a maid-of-
all work.
AS soon as her identity became known
in the neighborhood maids and servants
were wont to spend their leisure time
on the sidewalks of Park avenue. wait
ing for the mistress to leave or enter
that they might look at her and gossip
about her.
Efforts to find Mr.. O'Reilly have been
futile. Mrs. O'Reilly had this to say:
"Mrs. Thaw said that o Monday.
when she was reported to have been
turned out of the Knickerbocker Hotel,
she was with Mr.. 0'Reilly. That coui0
not have been the truth, for Dan End
1 were at the Harlem Casino together
and had supper a~fterward."
Mrs. Thaw's marriage annulment suit
comes up on Monday in the Supreme
Court. The report that Mrs. Thaw
would sail today and spend a time
abroad, is supposed to have been start
ed for the purpose of getting her away
from discriminating hotel proprietors
and inquisitive persons.
Lillian Lorraine, the chorus girl who
is claimed by young Mrs. Thaw to be
her double" and who she says Inn
p~ersonated her at the Cafe Boulevard
and the Hotel Knickerbocker, was
found at her home, 1873 West Forty
ninth street, today.
Evelyn Jealous, "DoubleS Says.
Evelyn Thaw knows me well, and
used to call me Lillian" said Lillian
Lorraine. "She says that / wear linen
collars to look like her. 1 don't need TO
make myself up like a kindergarten
kid. The trouble is that Evelyn is
Jealous of me. 1 have known Mr..
Thomas for some time and have often
gone to dinner and supper parties with
him.
'I introduced Mr.. Thomas to Evelyn
shortly after Harry was sent to the
asylum. He has been running around
with her a great deal since that time,
