THE WORRIED WOMEN. :

They say men must work ana
women must weep; but alas, in
ehis too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the
same time. Their holidays are
too few and their work heavy
and monotonous. 1t makes them
nervous and irritable. che de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in a while she has
spells of palpitation and has to
lie up for a day or two. Il some
disease like influenza or maIarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and that often paves the
way for chronic troubles Of the
throat, lungs and other organs;
and there is no saying what the
end may be. Let the tired and
ovArladen woman rest az much
as possible; and, above all, place
at her command a bottle Of

Friend Defends Mrs. Mckee;
Has Contempt for Husband

NEW YORK. April IS-Mlss Lille
LAWYER, the California girl who is one
Of the central figures IN the Hart-Mc-
kee divorce suit. has given out the
first interview since she arrived from
Paris. Her name was mentioned IN the
French courts two days ago. when Mai
tire Llbori. McKees lawyer, declared
that Ii ers she had written contained
important evidence.
The young woman emphatically de-
tends her friend and companion. Mrs.
Mckee. She denies that the former wife
OF Hugh Tevis. OF San Francisco. has
gambled away a fortune in high play
al Monte Carlo. Likewise. she asserts
that there is no other man in whom
Mrs. Mckee IS sufficiently interested
TO prompt the present proceedings.
Hart Mckee stu is desperately IN
love with his pretty wife" she said.
and is using desperate means 10 pre-
vent her from getting q divorce. There
is not one word Of truth In the terrible
stories manufactured by Mckee and
Maitre Labor in their efforts to thwart
her suit. Her friends in the United
States are aware OF this and every
mail she receives is flooded with letters
assuring her of loyalty"
After making this direct statement
spiritedly. Miss Lawler paid her respects
20 the husband.
Il do not care 10 make public" she
added. ''any opinion 1 have Of a man
who Will resort 10 such tactics in a
controversy with a woman: besides II
is not necessary-Hart Mckee Is too
well known in this country"
1t was with the greatest difficulty that
Miss Lawler was induced to discuss the
affairs Of the McKees. She said she
dreaded the nOtoriety into which her
name might be brought in connection
with the suit, but considered it the
duty OF some friend OF Mrs. Mckee TO
take up her defense.

persons mentioned in the affidavit. As
the result Of meeting one woman in par

consent to a divorce, but she refused,
believing that his infatuation for the
other woman would soon end After
that she alleges her husband frequently
struck her, and maintained the other
woman IN luxury and splendor.' She
SAYS that she became 'disguSted with
the moral ObliQuity'' shown by Wild

La FOLLEHE'S ILLNESS
WORRIES HIS FRIENDS

The illness OF Senator La Toilette Of
Wisconsin IS causing, OF late, great con-
Germ to the Wiconsin mans friends. It
is no longer doubted that the Senator's
sickness IS more serious and compli-
Gated than has been commonly sup
posed. and that much anxiety is enter
tained about him BY those who have
the best opportunities 10 know OF his
real condition.
Every winter that he has been in
Washington, the Senator has been the
victim OF a severe attack Of grip It
seems 10 find him an especially easy
victim. This winter. however. other
things have complicated Il. For more
than two months he has been kept away
from his duties except for the days
which he appeared, practically pulling
himself out OF a sick bed. TO make his
great currency speech--which proved
the most sensational delivery OF the
sessiOn-in antagonism TO the AIdrich
bill.
The Senator's friends have recently
insisted that he ought 70 go away cor
a few weeks. either to the South or
TO California Prospect for his reap

ton during the rest OF the session IS
declared 10 be growing less every day.

The defense hoped to prove by this
THAI Gugliemi was a devoted admirer
Of Mrs. Mckee.
II hardly know either Marquis Gug-
Nerni or Signor Aliotu." Miss LAWYER
told the reporter" and I am equally
positive that Mrs. Mckee had no more
than a speaking acquaintance with
either.
Il think this is one OK the most IN
fortunate affairs have ever known.
The newspapers are filed with the sen
sational stories which are inspired by
Hart Mckee. and nothing IS being said
IN defense Of his wife, who is one OF
the most lOvable and charming women

The statements that she has spent
large Sums in riotous living and has
not treated her husband as a devoted
wife should are as preposterous as the
yarns about her being a familiar figure

as was with Mrs Mckee a great deal
until left France a few weeks ago.
She IS not the kind of a woman who
enjoys the life such as she has been
accused Of.
On the contrary, while she likes to
have her friends about her, she has
grown TO be retiring. She has always
been loyal wife and a 1utiful mother

mentioned frequently in the proceedings.
Among all OF their friends II IS well
known that Hart Mckee will stop at
nothing In order TO prevent his wife
from obtaining a divorce. 1t IS amazing.
