And she Is past the mark of three score years and ten.
 And what of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. around whom the threads of all this tragedy were woven-the girl whose face inspired every artist who looked upon 1t, who came as Q child of fif- teen to the great city of New York with her pet cat in a basket. and her only stock in trade a face with chis- eled features and long. narrow, dark eyes that quickly changed from eyes of innocence to eyes that calculated and appraised and chose to see noth- ing but the gilt and glitter of rich Bo- hemia? It is said that she was the sole support of herself, her mother and brother at the age of sixteen on i her earnings as a chorus girl and ar lists model
 FaVorite Of Broadway.
 Tn year she was the bright par tlcular star of a certain set oI pleas uross seekers, satiated with the types l that knew their Broadway well. eager | for new, fresh face only too willing to give itself in exchange for the only life" that seemed worth living. 1 Broadway trailed after her and show cred upon her the gifts it bestows upon its fayorites. Motor cars. jew els and costly fare were hers for the taking. and she paid with her beauty, her youth and her sparkling wit
 Then came Stanford White, one of the greatest architects in the United ] States, to "befriend' her when she vas earning S15 a week as artists model The incidents of their associ- ation are known to all Then came into the field Harry Thaw, young, rich, ! spoiled. idle and reaGy to spend his millions for her smiles. There are many who say she played one against the other, receiving fayors from both unknown to the other. There was the notorious tour through Europe with Thaw and the subsequent return to New York without him, and the re- sumption of friendship with White. Next came the return of Thaw and Evelyn's marriage to him and her stay at the Thaw home in PittsbuTg. All the world knows of the killing of Stanford White on the Madison Square Roof Garden and the testimony of Evelyn Thaw upon the witness stand which euveloped her in shame perpet- uaL It was this story of her fall that sent Harry Thaw to an asylum for criminal insane instead of to the cleo tric chair.
 After the second trial various sto- Ties were told and published as to the ! whereabouts of the girl. her mode of life and her ambitions. She Was vari- ously described as living luxuriously upon her income from the Thaws and as occupying a small studio in the pursuit of sculpture study. But she has drifted gradually out Of the range of public notice. As a matter of fact this girl. not yet past the youth Of her twenties. the center of a tragedy | known throughout the world, is living in a modest fiat. unnoticed and alone.
 Unfriended and Aiono.
 Her name, once the open sesame to
 every gilded hostelry in town. has
 lost it's magic. It Is not even upon her doorplate. Perhaps she has some
 friends. but the gay throng of Broad
