Brooklyn Woman Who Left
Husband and Two Children
Became RemorSefuI.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Mrs. Kate
Walsh, who inherited $4,000 from the
estate Of her father, William G. Opry,
owner Of Arion Hall, one Of the largest
amusement places In Brooklyn, killed
herself In a furnished room house at
1856 st. Marks avenue, Brooklyn, after
she had murdered William A. Beggs.
80 years old, a chauffeur, with whom
she had been living since she left
her husband and two children.
According to the theory OF the po-
lice and the coroner, largely borne
out by letters which Mrs. Walsh left
In the room, the woman was over
come by remorse. She blamed Beggs
for breaking up her home. In addi-
ton, she accused him OF unfaithful-
ness, having written recently to her
husband, "he is throwing me down
for a girl named Mabel" Her efforts
to regain the love Of her husband, so
the police were told, proved futile.
Mrs. Walsh, who was rs years old,
went to live in the furnished room
hoouse in st. Marks avenue, near
Carlton, about three weeks ago. Beggs
was with her. He was employed in a
nearby garage They introduced them
selves to the housekeeper, Mrs. Gerda
Olsen, as Mr.. and Mrs. William A.
Beggs. and rented a large room on the
second floor. Beggs went to work
regularly each day.
Just how long Beggs had lived with
Mrs. Walsh the police do not know.
but they learned that Mrs. Walsh and
her husband, James Walsh. who lives
in Ridgewood and who is in business
in Manhattan, had been separated for
at least half a year.

Mrs. Olsen heard three shotlike
sounds, but thought they were auto
mobile tire explosions in the street.
Mrs. Olsen thought no more of the oc-
curreEce until a garage employee came

In these days when automobiles are stamped
out in stacks, like cookies, it is a satisfaction to
know of one that is not.
It. il a satisfaction to find a car, like the LEX
INGTON THOROUGHBRED SIX, that is made in
limited quantities, and, as the poet would say,
with a certain amount of loving care"
There are a few people who like to know that
their car, in it's manufacture, has had the personal
touch. Some folks are particular this way, about
clothes, books, hOuses+some about automobiles.
People, who own Lexington cars are those
who appreciate rare mechanical excellence, who,
like a little dash in the design of their car, who like
a "ROad-Floater" and who, still, do not want to
shoot the moon when it comes to expenditure.
A great car, made by great organization.
and the master touch that completes this carr per-
lection is the MOORE MULTIPLE EXHAUST
SYSTEM, which gives to motoring a new criterion
of comfort and zest in this new Lexington.

1t was silent enough wlthin-not a

was scarcely any more noise audible

distant thud Of feet where some infan-

voice. The caution shown, the force

Among tailored hats the always pop
ular black has more to recommend 1t
this season than It can usually claim.
1t takes high art and fine materials,

being commonplace. But the present
season has developed a fad for lus-
trous surfaces, almost everything In

brilliance.
In hats, and In many of their trim
mings, black lacquer or varnish COW
ers the shape and the wings or foliage
that so often trim it. Even ribbons
have a polished surface made by some
method of treating them, and In black
they are designated as "stove polish"
ribbons. This matter-of-fact name is
accurately descriptive of them. In
keeping with the shining surfaces OF
things there is a corresponding finish
in workmanship, characteristic of the
hats of today. Perhaps these things
account for the advance in prices,
which the public appears to have met
with great cheerfulness.

WARSAW CENTER OF TRAGEDY

inc allegiance to either side, the situa-
tion of the Polish people in the pres.

True, both Germany and Russia have
made promises, but Poland has little
cause to believe in the good faith of

Warsaw, in Russian Poland. recent.

center of all that is left Of Polish ma
tionalism. Here Russia, of which
Warsaw has long been a part. is al
ways referred to as a foreign land,
and the Cossack with his knouted
whip has been a perpetual irritation
TO the Polish citizen. Now the Uhlan
has replaced the Cossack. but there is
no rejoicing in Warsaw, for in Prus'
sian Poland the use OF the Polish Ian
Guage has been even more restricted

empire controlled by Russia.

The nearly-grown miss this year
shares with her elders the charm that
lies in dressy suits of tatfeta silk. AS
BELTS the modes for youthful wearers,
suits made for her are less elaborate
than those designed for her older sis
tiers, but they have decorations enough
to be interesting.
Coats in these silk models are made
in great diversity of styles. but all
of them may be classed as short

and blue. as well as lighter tans and
grays, much in evidence.
An old fashion which has been re-
vived appears in the full quillings OF
box-plaited silk with "pinked" edges
that are used for trimming both skirts
and coats. These quillings help out
in achieving the popular flare at the
bottom of coats and in supplying the
banded effects and horizontal lines
that place the otherwise plain skirts

There has perhaps never been a
more pathetic passage in the history
OF this unfortunate people than the
present one. Their cities and villages,
once swept by the glorious battles
fought for Polish liberty. are now raw
aged by war which. to them, means
almost nothing.
But Warsaw is by no means a mel
ancholy city, despite the prevailing
devotion to cause long lost. 1t is
a cosmopolitan city. dominated by the
Latin temperament. belonging wholly
to the west-a city where there is
much music and dancing and love OF
the arts and graces Of life. More
than that, 1t has become a thriving
