 Boston Hammock.
 Boston, Aug 25.-The Globe says that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has been In Boston for three days, having, as her companion declared, 'the time of her life"
 But she was not known here as Mrs Thaw. To every one but her companion and to prominent Som erville physician, who was called to attend her, she was Miss Douglass.
 Her companion called herself Mrs H. Leonard-Griffith, but it was learned she is Frances Paon, who for merly lived at 16 West street, Son. | erville.
 The two young women arrived in Boston last Thursday and registered at the Thorndike, under the names of Griffith and Douglass They seemed to have plenty of money and spent it freely. Miss Douglass bought a new "pill-box" hat on Bolyston street for $65 as one of her purchases.
 Then they went out to enjoy them selves. The next heard of them was on Friday morning, when they left the Thorndike and went to the hotel Lenox. Mrs Griffith did the talking to the. clerk there. She said they had just come from New York and might remain two or three days. They were given adjoining rooms, and in the afternoon continued their pleasure excursion.
 The next heard of them was on Friday night about II o'clock.
 At that hour small boy rang the bell at the residence of Dr c. ". Stiles on Winter Hill. Somerville, and said he was needed very badly at house little way down Broad way, where lady was very i'll, and would he please hurry.''
 The physician dressed and went uo the house, conducted by the boy. In hammock in the yard of a fine looking house opposite School street he was shown young woman un- conscious. She was hatless, had lost one shoe, and was very dishevelled. Her companion. tall blonde, was crying and weeping over her and urging the doctor to make haste
 The physician soon saw that the illness of the young woman was not serious. but he prescribed that she be taken to her home immediate ly.
 To this the companion demurred. Such a thing was impossible, she said, as neither of them lived in Somerville.
 The physician then decided he would call the police and have the sick woman taken to hospital.
 'Oh, don't do that" exclaimed the blonde woman. Tt will kill us if this ever gets out. You don't know who she is. It mustn't get out"
 The physician then looked more closely at the woman in the ham, mock and recognized her immediate ly. She>had grown many years older in appearance and was no longer the fresh, beautiful girl made so famous in recent years, but the face was un- forgetable.
 He then advised that she be taken into the house and the occupant of 1t gave his consent. Once in the house the physician asked the com panion of the young woman if it was Mrs Thaw and she admitted it, again cautioning him that the truth must not become known to the outside world.
 She also admitted that she was Frances Paon, and lived, when at home, with her father at 16 West street. Somerville. She said she had been a member of the White Rose" company with Evelyn Thaw, and that their friendship had con- tinued ever since. They had come to Boston in order that she might see her family before leaving for San Francisco, where they were to live during the winter, because Mrs Thaw was in poor health.
 The physician and the occupant of the house then took the unconscious girl in their arms and carried her to the West street house, where she was undressed and put to bed. against the protest of Mir Paon, who wanted his daughter to have her friend taken to the hospital.
 On the following morning, Satur- day, Miss Paon-or Mrs H. Leonard Griffith-telephoned to the physician that he need not make his morning call.
 The two young women then went to Boston, packed up their belong ings at the Lenox and took the 1 U o'clock train for New York.
 Those who saw Mrs Thaw at the Hotel Lenox declare that she has aged greatly, and that the life of en- joyment to which she Is now evil dently giving her time is leaving in- effaceable marks upon her.
