asking themselves that question.
Does 1t pay to be good?
They know that. like the milk
maid In the old song. their faces are
their fortunes, and that beauty and
youth are assets that Il woman can

The Trial Awakened Her.

But that trial striped the veil
from her eyes. She came out of 1t
moving good and evil, and the
nowledge has dimmed her beauty
and taken from It the ethereal charm
that was its highest note. There IS
nothing remarkable about her now.
You may meet u thousand like her
any day along Broadway.
] wonder how Evelyn Thaw, in
view Of her life and all 1t has brought
her of good and i'll, would answ",
that question: Does It pay girl Ia
be good?
think that no one could preach
'rch homily on the subject us this
poor girl. who sold her birthright for
l few silks and rag Of chiffon ana
good times. and who knows the price
he has paid. DOROTHY DIN.

save her husband and to earn a fee.
Justly earned and never paid, Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw told story OF her life
that for utter degradation has no
match in all the annals OF sinful hu.
nanity. She stripped from herself
every vestige of decency and left her
self without so much as u rag OF hon

VI " tONei HeT,
That this story was not true does
rot alter her status. She held herself
up before the world as shameless be-
yond all belief until the wonder Of
II was that any woman could tell
such things OF herself and live. AMI
now she is coming that story into
money.
BE sure that she has paid for all
the loaves and fishes that she has
gotten. Evil collects its debt mex
orably. No one, least of all wo-
man. is so thick skinned us to be i'm
nervious to the scorn Of ones fel-
low creatures. Evelyn Thaw has had
that in full measure. and under It.
and the life it has driven her to. she
has coarsened. and hardened. ~
The wonder of her ut the trial Was
the expression OF wistful. childlikean
lnocence she wore. ! asked great
alienist to interpret that to me. and
he said that the reason of 1t was
that her soul was unawakencd, that
he was morally dead and had never
Called the import of the things she
lid. Hence they had not set their
eal upon her as they do upon women
who consciously tread the primrose
path.
