a. she was being taken back to the
Brooklyn Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty to Children last night by
Miss Ethel Pickett Of Brooklyn. who
all day long questioned both the &C.
cusod and the accuser at the formers
home.
II wrote those letters and DO not
know Just why I wrote them other
than to please Miss Everson. who was
so good to me and to my brothers and
sisters.
AT times when Miss Everson ran
short OF writing paper she would give
. mo money with which to purchase
moro at Mrs. Katherine Bakers store
across the street from the Everson
home. The language used in the let

what many OF the words meant"
In addition to tho charge OF In
nuencing a girl TO write the poison

graver charge IL the investigation
of the Chiidren's Society bears fruit
Miss Pickett, one OF the agents. and

"Signora Sergardi Is right-abso-
iutely right" Mrs. Johnson exclaimed.
I've said the same thing to my hus-
band many times. Unless the Amer
lean man has studied and lived
abroad as Mr.. johnson has. or unless
he has Latin blood In his veins, he
knows absolutely nothing of love-
making. You see, he is much too
busy 10 learn. When he gets out OF
college he sets to work Immediately
to make money enough 70 get married
on, and II takes so much money here,
where all the women are determined
not 10 be poor, that he really has not
time TO learn how to love. He does
the big things for a woman without
realizing that in love the big things
are really the little things; that a
woman prefers the man who picks up
her handkerchief to the man who
lays down his life for her. Is not that
so?"
1T Is So" acquiesced. The French
have a saying that a woman will al
ways sacrifice the man who loves her
but does not please her TO the man
who plcascs her but does not love

lean man is the best OF husbands and
tho worst OF lovers.
''Of course Americans are the only
men to marry" Mrs. johnson said
