WIDOWS LOVE TRAP FOR
U. S. SENATOR FAILED.
Mrs, Hartman, Not Knowing That Mr..
Borah Hns Wife. Fell in Love
with His Picture nnd Wrote a Sub
tie Letter.

Chicago. Aug. c0.-"It Is better to have
loved n picture and lost than never TO
have loved Mt all" Thus spoke Mrs.
Grace Hartman. charming widow. with
big. dark eyes masses Of waving brown
hair and graceful. though buxom, figure.
as she fordlv looked at and caressed q
photograph Of United states Senator w
Z. Borah OF idaho.
The senator married at thirty. four
teen years ago. but the widow did not
know that he has n wife. She wrote
a letter. incosing her own photograph,
asking him to get her a husband. She
says however. II was really the senator
that she wanted. She hoped he would
recognize his souls affinity by her np-
peal and rush 30 her arms. She fell In
love with Mr. Pornh's photograph pub
lshed in n magazine. and realized nj
once that he was the only man In the
world who could make her happy.
HER soul MESSAGE"
II didn't really want him to get me

that II in tho manner adopted his at

there must be response In the senator

Il am afraid the atmosphere Of WASH

at soul messages So Senator Borah did
not see the point and Is trying to get
me an Idaho husband In overalls. IT is
really awfully dear Of him, but a
woman knows what she wants, My
plan was too subtle, I'm afraid.
"His soul has failed TO respond to tho
warnings OF my heart. but his photo
graph will ever he cherished by me az
that Of the ideal man. I will always love
this photograph how nohle-how hand
somehow full Of divine love he looks
Is all one feels, hut none Of the senti-
ments with which have endowed
him"
WHAT THE MEN WRITE TO HER.
Mrs Hartman. who says she Is thirty
Ave, but looks moro like forty-f1ve, has
been a widow six years. Though
Idaho's lawyer-statesman has failed to
respond to her soul message" other
hearts In Idaho have been set beating
by her appeal FOR husband. Here are
sample paragraphs from some of the
marriage offers she has received:
