netting protecting the glass roof OF
a one-story extension in tho rear Of
the factory, and although she is
terribly injured, the surgeons at Belle

They quarreled this morning and
parted in anger. Gelfant, remorseful.
got excused from his work at 10
o'clock and went over to tho west
side to see Miss Kaufman and seek
her forgiveness.
He called at the office of Mr.. Cohen
on the tenth floor and asked permis-
sion to speak to the girl. A mes
senger was sent to her In the fac
tory. When she learned that Gelfant
was downstairs she rushed from the
room and up two flights of stairs to
the roof. Her behavior attracted the
attention OF the thirty girls and TWEEN
ty-five men employed in the shop.
Two or three minutes after tho girl

her fall past rear window. The
girls became hysterical and their

meshed in the wire netting. She was

Gelfant rode to the hospital in the
ambulance with the injured girl, hold
ing her hand. lie declared that there
was no reason why she should seek
to kill herself, as their quarrel was
only misunderstanding.

Shelton's room in the Hotel Laurelton.
No. LAT West Fifty-fif street, last
Saturday night was a matter OF some
dispute In West Side Police Court to-
day. The question came up in the
course u the arraignment OF Cornelius
Mcclellan, a private detective, and
Louis Rosenbaum, n stenographer. on
a charge OF disorderly conduct pre-
ferred by Mr.. shelton and stephen S.
Dooley. night clerk Of the hotel.
Mr.. Shelton said the young woman
was a manicurist who had called TO
polish his nails. Mr.. Dooley said that
when the young woman went to Mr..
Shelton's room he understood she was
a chiropodist who had called to make
some repairs to Mr.. Shelton's feet.
The private detective maintained that
the young woman was neither a man
tourist nor a chiropodist. Whatever
her status 1t was developed in the
course OF the hearing that her pres
ence in the Laurelton last Saturday
night bred a large and widespread
row.
Mr.. Shelton by profession is a wi

Cornelius Shelton telephoned for
his brother and for Rosenbaum, who
is q stenographer employed by Mrs

that there is no opening at either the
front or the back. The plain skirt is in
three pieces with just enough ripple to be

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am a pretty widow of 35 and am
the mother of three children. I am
desperately in love with a man who
is ten years my junior and he cares
for me. The only things that stand in
my way are his youth and the fact
that he makes a very meager salary
and, having a mother and sister who
are dependent upon him, I feel that it
is an injustice to him to allow him to
take upon his shoulders the support
of four more. I am a businesswoman
but am tired of working.

He is far too young for you. In
deed, 1t would be an injustice for you
to permit one poor young man of 25
to struggle to support a mother, a sis
ter, a wife and three children who
are not his own. 1t will be for the
happiness of everyone concerned If
you don't yield to lazy desire to be
supported-for YOU might have to turn
about and support even your poor,
