MRS. LARZ ANDERSON
GIVES OUT DENIAL
Not to Devote Her Time to Psyche
logical Experiments on
Young Girls.

BOSTON, June 10.-Mrs. Larz Ander-
Son, wife Of the American minister to
Belgium, and noted in America ut the
time of her wedding as the s17.ooa.O0o
rride. indig 1antly denies that she is
aDout to take poor working girls and
thrust them into surroundings OF luxury,
and then whisk them out again to see
what the effect would be.
Mrs. Anderson was at loss to give
an explanation of how such a story
originated.
Il often invite the children of the
POOR districts OF Boston to spend q day
at my estate at Brookline,' she said.
The boys and girls play games, are
given rides in the pony carts: and
served with a luncheon. and just before
they leave each Is presented with a

kind to employees, and every Christmas
have a tree. mingle with employees, and
with q number of my friends, entertain
and present each with a present.
Since being in Brussels, Mrs. Ander'
son has formed a club OF American
girls who are living there, and it is
probable, Mrs. Anderson thinks, thai
this might have led to the story being
circulated that she was to devote hel
time practicing psychological expert
ments on young girls at her princelS
castle at Brookline.
