those four years. Now comes the ques-
ton. what is It worth to a woman to
dine twice day with a man and to be
bright and cheerful towards him every
day for four years?
With the same care and precision that
marked her summing up of her injuries
to the extent of $4,000 she has at
tackled this second problem.
Suppose she says, that charge
the moderate sum of $40 for my society
at meal time twice a day. am sure that
would amount to $4,000, and l repeat
again that 1t is not an excessive charge.
Besides this, l had to entertain Mr..
Mansf1eld's friends, sometimes as many
as a hundred of them at once, and l had
to keep it up until the last one was tired.
Someone has told me that an ordinary
chorus girl expects $40 from a man just
to accompany him to dinner. OF course.
1 do not put myself in the chorus girl
class. I simply mention it to show that
there is nothing unreasonable about my
$40 charge"
Another claim for reward she made
was for acting as chauffeur to Mansfield.
She asserted that she ran him to Boston
and back, round-trip of forty-four
miles. nearly every day in the year. and
that for four years this bill alone would
amount to. more than $4,000. More
over, she attended to all hisss stock mar.
ket investments, which she claimed waA
worth at least $4,000 year.
Another expense account which TOO
dies" makes out has to do with mans
vanity. She told her jury that day in
and day out she had to listen to Mans
field as he talked about himself he
never discussed anything or anyone but
himself she said, and 1t became exceed
ingly tiresome. Her bill for this amount
ed to 81, 400: which was at the rate Of
one cent per talk a hundred times a day
for four years.
Then there were the illnesses of Mans
field, through which he was nursed by
"Toodles." Perhaps he would wine and
dine too literally once a week." she told
the jury. THE next morning he would
be in terrible mood, for he was slightly
equity and felt the effects very much. He
always wanted me to nurse him on these
occasions.
81 had to run back and forth bringing
him black coffee and ammonia cocktails.
I used to give him the smelling salts.
rub his head and bind ice-water band
ages around it. I had to be bright and
pleasant all the time. and then, In turn.
he would be horribly cross to me and
speak very harshly. I think a conserva-
tive estimate of the number Of times .
week he spoke to me In this manner
would be ten, and II I charged him $40
an epithet for four years that would
make total Of almost $4,000. So. when
you stop to consider It. my bill was not
at all excessive"
"Toodles" was next heard from after
her unsuccessful case q few Sundays
after Easter IN New York. It was on
the first warm and bright Sunday Of
spring that she took a stroll down Fifth

Nor in the brides avowal Is there any

simply the declaration printed above.
Then the bridegroom took up the
pledge again: "And now that we have
each made this public profession Of our
love for each other, let me place upon
the fourth finger of your left hand, the
hand nearest your heart, this ring -
pledge that win perform the vows that
have today assumed. Do you accept
this ring In token Of the same?"
"I do" Miss Glendon responded.
"And may this ring always remind
you and me Of this wonderful day and
hour when was permitted to call you
wife"
"And to call you husband"
''For the hrst Time" they repeated In
unison, with hands clasped. Then the
bridegroom kissed the bride and the
mutual ceremony was over.

written by Mangasarian. Tho judc said:

when he said he would. The accusations
that she is grabbing. that no girls in
juries are worth that much. that she Is
"out for the money" make no impress

other way of looking at it. She knew

It is to be seen that the whole thing
was very carefully laid out by Miss
Ryan. She took a great deal of pains In
making a thorough search Of her in
ward self to find out just where and how
she was damaged. She worked from a
purely psychological basis, and nothing
but psychological considerations inhu-
enced her conclusions.
Miss Ryan laid the claim before the
jurymen that when she first met Mans
field she was an innocent. unsophisticat-
ed young thing who had perfectly nat
ural desire to attain a wider experience
both in the world and In society. Tho
meeting took place when she went to
the Yale Harvard football game from
her home in New Haven.
On the same night she met him again
at a very merry dinner party. He was
the owner Of the Ferncroft inn, near
Boston. an extremely fashionable place
which brought him . comfortable income
and which was to Boston something
which Canheld's was to New York.
1t seems that Mansfield had had .
great deal of experience In the world,
according to Miss Ryan. He was hand

attracted her very much. He knew very

Assembly Candidate Freund
Assails Republican Record

A Democratic rally was held DUR
ing the noon hour today at the head
quarters of the Musical Union. 401
Plane street. The Assembly candi-
dates were the principal speakers.
Louis r.. Freund after assalling the
Republican legislature for its Norris
canal record, said in part as follows:
"Their inexcusable abuse of the
Board of Children's Guardians, in sc
far as making the proper approprla-
tions for paying the poor widows of
our State the pensions legally due
them, stamps them as that clement,
forgetting the needs of the masses
of our people and looking only TO the
private interests. There are widows
and orphans In our county waiting
months for their legal mite, and with
probably months before them to wait
because of the tortuous acts of the
last Republican legislature.
Their play to the galleries in their
refusal to give to the Department Of
Banking and Insurance additional
examiners SO that the building and
loan associations of the State may
be properly supervised, again brands
them with the fact of insincerity.
Our building and loan associations
guard the poor mans dollar, and that
dollar must be sacred in the hands
of those protecting it.
I'm spite of that fact, the Republic
can legislature refused to make sufii-
cient appropriation for the inspection
and supervision of the building and

He also predicts that the Repub-

iarly anxious to have Republican

fights which are to be decided In the
wards tomorrow have been person
ally directed by him, as to the Re-
publican candidates. His statement
is as follows:
Il confidently believe that the Re-
publican ticket in the State and

a splendid majority, and that the
same Is true of the general city

that in the aldermanic fights a

Takes Up the Plan and
Others Follow.

The alternating class system. a
modification of the plan formulated
by William Writ. which has been Civ
en- a three years trial. went into ef-
feet permanently at the Cleveland
School this morning. As soon as all
terations are completed the same sys-
tern will be started at the Arlington
Avenue School.
At the Cleveland School the morn
ing session started at $3.50 o'clock and
closed at 3:45, and the pupils were
dismissed in two sections for noon
luncheon. Glasses with even num-
bers were dismissed at n:10 and re-
turned at 1870, and those with odd
numbers were allowed to go al 12
o'clock noon and returned at l:10
p. m.
Under the alternating system the
pupils now attend school for six
hours and fifteen minutes daily. an
increase of one hour and fifteen min
ufes over the old plan. BY the new
system nine additional classes, repre-
senting about 400 pupils, have been
added, with practically about the
same number of teachers. Seven
teachers for special subjects have
been added to the teaching staff.
The school now has about forty-six
classes and thirty-six class teachers.
