And Here What Miss Ryan Says About in an Interview:

r CONSIDER that $4,000 was an ex-
remely moderate sum TO ask Harry
= N. Mansfield for failing to keep his
promise to marry ne.
At the first trial I failed to obtain a
verdict simply because one jurYman held
out and caused disagreement. He was.
I am told, a New England pessimist
who had inflicted his egotistic personal
ity on a poor woman for years and then
became enraged because she exacted
some financial consideration from him.
"ToOdles" was Mansfeld's pet name for
me. During the trial the judge asked the
local theatre to stop a song dedicated to
ne called Has Anybody Here Seen
Toodles?" because It was the most popu-
lar feature Of the show. and might infu-
ence the jury The precaution was IN
necessary. All but one Of the jurors sym
pathized with me from the start, and the
twelfth was insensible to song.

fixed the amount OF damages after ap-
pralsing at a ridicuIously low cost all the
devotion he had exacted from my heart
and mind, all the injuries he had done to
my nervous system, all the burden he
had placed upon my loving patience, all
thu shock he had given to my womanly
pride, and last, but not least, all the end
less personal services he had required Of
ne. fixed it upon a purely psychology
cal basis.
When I first met Henry N. Mansfield
was an innocent, unsophisticated young
girl with a natural desire to see the
world and enjoy a wider social life. I
met him first when went on to the Yale
Harvard game at Boston from my home
IA New Haven.
It was at q merry dinner party after
the game that first saw Mansfield. He
was the proprietor Of the very fashion
able Ferncroft Inn, at Middleton, near
Boston, which brought him a large in
come. It was to Boston all that Richard
Canheld's ever was to New York:
Mansfield was a polished and attrae-
tive man Of the world. He was on
terms Of personal intimacy with the
fashionable and wealthy men from Bos-
ton, New York and other cities who fire.
quented his place.
Immediately after I met him he pro
posed to marry me, and I accepted him.
He began calling me "Toodles" at once.
For four years he was continually re-
newing his offer and putting of its full
hIment for one reason or another.
Feeling that was almost his wife, gave
up almost my whole time to him. I as
sisted him in his business, 1 gave him my
company at lunch and dinner, I enter

he was IN bad luck, I endured his Ill
temper and I nursed him when he was

any woman's affections could be worth
$4,000 Miss Ryan here explains why
she thinks that jury called to sit upon
such case should be composed Of ex-
pert psychologists, able to measure the
injuries done to a woman heart with
the precise instruments, and to measure
exactly her capacity for mental. moral
and physical suffering.

his insincerity, and would have worked
myself to death merely to win a smile
from him. And here let me say that no
woman should ever be such a slave to 4
man, but know they will.
He expected me to go to remarkable
lengths in entertaining his friends. At
the first trial his lawyers tried to show
that kissed Mayor John E. Fitzgerald,
Of Boston. and others Of his friends. They
failed to prove anything, but it shows
what he had expected Of me, for he had

often discussed the subject with students
and professors from Harvard, whom had

psychology has instruments for recording
every emotion. They measure the differ

With this instrument Professor Nun

read just how much a woman had suffered
from an unfeeling lover and how her suf-

It is evidently q very complicaA5d

factors entering into my case. It calls
not only for scientific instruments, but
for trained ability to perceive facts that
are not thought Of by the ordinary man.
