TRY OLD FASHIONED soCIAIs.
Y. M. G. A. to Give a Series Beginning
Tomorrow Night

A series Of social affairs is being
planned by the membership depart
ment of the Central Y. M. C. A. in
charge of a committee of young men
with Mr. Earl S. Voorhis as chair
man.
They will start out tomorrow night
with an "informal mems mix-up.'
Although this name may give one the
impression that blood might flow,
there will be nothing of that kind.
The plan is for an old fashioned in
formal stag party where the men will
come together and become better ac-
uuainted with eac bother.
During the evening number of
popular features often used at such
affairs, will be taken part in by the
men. The piano will be in use part
of the time by some of the musicians
from among the membership.
This will undoubtedly be a most
pleasant evening for the members.
On Saturday evenings succeeding
this some special event will take
place and 1t is believed that this will
greatly help the social life of the as
sociation.

TELLS HER STORY.
Won Hagen Girl Recites Her Rela-
lions With Raymond Hitchcock.

New York. March 13.-Helen Won
Hagen, one of the three young girls
who brought charges against Ray
mond Hitchcock the. actor. told her
story before as large a crowd as ever
filed the supreme court room at the
Thaw trial. Flora Whitson and Elsie
Voecks, the other girls. were brought
into the room for Identification.
But there was a great difference
between the commonplace little Won
Hagen girl and the Fascinating Evelyn
Thaw, and this little girls story had
none of the dramatic elements that
gripped the hearers of Evelyn's testi-
mony. Helen Won Hagen said that
she willingly accompanied Hitchcock
on motor rides to his home at Great
Neck and on visits to the room he
rented in Forty-first street. She vol
unfairly brought the other two to
meet him. she said.
The girl was nervous and weeping
at the vital part of her story. She
spoke in q very low voice that did not
carry even to the Jurors. Her answers
had to be read aloud to them. AT
other times, though, she talked with
the composure of a much older wom-
an. She is few, months short of II.
She could scarcely be called pretty,
but because of the youthful piquancy
Of her features, she might be termed
fairly good looking. she wore a dark
red picture hat and red cloak. which

and they did not extend quite to her
shoe tops.
The girl said she first met Hitch
cock in front of the theater in which
he was playing in September, 1906.
She was wheeling a baby carriage
when he spoke to her and asked If
she would like to take a ride in his
motor car. She said she would have
to ask her mother, and her mother
refused permission. A few nights
later she and her chum, Elsie Voecks,
again met the actor. she said, and this
time accepted his invitation to go to
Great Neck for dinner. He enter
tained them by playing and singing
for them. They visited the house
again and remained over night. Court
adjourned with the Won Hagen girl
still on the stand

Hitchcock was in the courtro ON.

COLLEGE GRADUATE
Found Clear Thinking Assured by
Right Food.

A college student should know that
clear thinking comes easiest from a
brain we'll and properly fed.
81 have now been using Grape
Nuts steadily four years and having
passed the experimental and over-en-
thusiastic stage, I feel sure of myself
and have settled down to a solid
basis of fact. This I have derived
largely from that excellent little
booklet, The Road to MELVILLE.
which L have largely adopted as my
faithful guide in matters pertaining
to eating, exercise and health in gen.
eral.
ION first reading the booklet I was
struck with its plain common use and
moreover found that 1t was in har-
mony with physiology and psychology
so far as I had learned them in my
study of these subjects at college.
For at least ten years before I be-
gan to eat Grape-Nuts. had been ac-
customed to eating freely of fried
meats, white bread, biscuits and what
not, with resultant headaches, some
dizziness and an appetite that was
capricious and uncertain. All this
too, seemed to affect my brain and
nervous system, for, while engaged in
study 1 found it hard to concentrate
my thoughts.
"I could think very well for a lit
tie while, but soon grew restless and
inattentive. Nor can I emphasize too
much the change that I have brought
about by adopting rational habits in
food and exercise.
There. is now an elasticity in my
muscular system, "a steadiness of
nerve, and an ability to think con-
tinuously along a given line, that I
prize most highly and which l attri-
butte to the use of Grape-Nuts food

The visitor thought not, vehemently.
If there was little applause, she

by the horror and the pity of it. One
