Mrs. Fritchey Tells Court
How Informal "Puzzie"
Was With Undertaken
Special to the Telegraph

Jersey City, N. j.. April a. The
Van Buskirk divorce suit, which kept
Hudson and Bergen counties buzzing
with gossip in 1914, has come up for
air again in chancery court. The coun-
ter suit of Mrs. Florence Van Buskirk
against Charles a. Van Buskirk,
wealthy Wall Street broker living In
Hackensack hung fire for two years
pending the obtaining of af1davits
from Mrs. Bertha Fritchey, of Harris
burg, Pa, as to her observation OF the
conduct of Mrs. Van buskirk and
franklin Briggs, leading undertaken of
Hackensack.
Mrs. Fritchey. incidentally. was nam
ed by Mrs. Van Buskirk as the princi-
pal cause of the original action.
Mrs. Fritchey's affdavits concerned
motor trips which the Van Buskirks
Mrs. Fritchey and the socially active
undertaken took through Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. Frequently, when
Mr.. Van Buskirk and Mrs. Fritchey be-
came separated from the Others said
the fair correspondent. they returned to
find the undertaken in Mrs. Van Bus
Kinks room, often under highly infor-
NAL circumstances.
Mrs. Fritchey said he was seen shaw
ing in the room and that when he was
taxed with being there he said: "Puz-
zie hadn't been feeling well and needed
somebody with her" "Puzzie" Ii was
explained, was Mrs. Van BuskirK

affairs that he did not have strength
for anything else. But he was a good
man, and it was not his fault that he
behaved as he did. No man could
help it."
Her listener laughed delightedly.
There, lies the secret of your story
telling ability" he exclaimed. You
actually believe in your imaginary
hero. And that is what gives your
story the human touch.
And now" more gravely, I'VE
must get down to business. We want
to keep your story, of course. Have
you been writing long? 1 happen
never to have seen your name before" +"
What should she say? OF course,
she need not tell all the truth. She
looked at him frankly.
Years before wes married | used
to write" she said. Then, while my
child was young and later when l was
going out in society great deal, l let
other matters than literature take my
time. OF late. however, | have felt the
old desire to write again, and / have
INDUCED IL. The manuscript sent to
you is one of the results of the graft
flcation of that desire"
Il see,' the man said.
He Sets the Price
Evidently her explanation had SEEM
ed perfectly plausible to him. And
she had not had to lie. OF that she
was glad.
We'll, it is the kind of short story
that we like here" Martin said. 81

But" watching her closely, I'VE are
willing to pay you hundred and fifty
dollars for it,
He saw no change in the face be-
fore him. He could not know that the
hands in the handsome muff clasped
each other tightly. One can control
ones face; one cannot control ones
hands.
"A hundred and fifty" she repeated,
as If pondering the matter. 1T is a
rather long story for a so-called short
story isn't it?"
Yes, but no longer than many of
the short stories we use in our maga-
zine" he replied. "Of course. Mrs.
Webb, If you do other work for us,
later on, we may offer you better
prices"
VERY we'll" she said calmly. st
will sell the story to you for the price
you name"
"A check will be sent you the first
of the MONTH" he told her.
She rose, drawing her furs around
her, as if she understood that the in
terview was ended.
Just moment, please. Perry
Martin detained her. Wont you con-
slider writing something else for US
soon? That is. may we not see your
next short story-before you submit
it to anyone else?'
why, yes-of course-if you wish
to see it," Mrs. Webb acquiesced
with another of her bright smiles.
"Have you a story under way or in
your mind"
"In my mind, yes" she answered
"but hardly under way"
Send it to me when it is ready" he
urged. Good afternoon" as she
started to go. And thank you again
for coming in so promptly"

Mrs. Webb, believer"
Perry Martin had risen as his caller
entered his office, and was now holding
out his hand in greeting.
"I am delighted to meet you, ne
said. "and thank you for coming so
promptly. Please sit down.
His gaze rested admiringly upon the
stylish woman who did his bidding.
Although she faced the wide windows
and the light fell full upon her face,
she looked younger than her forty
five years.
She certainly was not poor, the
man thought swiftly. or she could NOT
wear such furs as those from which
her shapely head rose so gracefully.
Evidently she wrote for pleasure, or to
make some pin money for amusements
of various kinds, or for charity-on
the side. as it were. This being the
case, one must. of course, offer her
fair prices for her work.
Grace Webb had been right when
she told her mother that she must
appear prosperous If she would pros
per. While we acknowledge the in
Justice of it all. it is none the less
true that the writer who does not act
ually need money can demand DetteT
prices than can he or she who must
have it so keep body and soul to-
gether.
Perry Martin was a busy man and
plunged at once into the subject in
hand.
"I have read your story and I like
it," he said bluntly.
The pink in Myras cheeks grew
deeper. "I am glad that you do she
said.
Her manner was not that of one to
Iii fY,in IF
portance, but only the polite demeanor
of a woman of the world to whom he
had made a pleasant and polite re-
mark.
A Genuine Document
YES" he went on, 'it rings true
that story. 1t is a genuine human
document. In reading it one feels
that it comes right from the heart;
that only a woman who has studied
other women and has known them in
timately and closely could have writ

"It is an excellent portrayal of what
a wife and mother would feel under
such circumstances as you describe.
You must be a student of your kind,
Mrs. Webb"
She smiled. Perhaps" she ad-
mitted. IT have the happy-or un-
happy-faculty of putting myself in
the other persons place"
That was well done she congratu-
lated herself. What would this man
think were she to say 81 know all
about 1t. I wrote that story from
the depths of my own experience, my
own anxiety, my own longings !?
Thank heaven, he did not suspect the
truth!
You have made the man q rather
selfish brute" Martin remarked. You
are not very complimentary to our sex
in Bitter Waters.
"Oh. no." she protested, as if she
were speaking of someone whom she
wanted to defend. He was not
brute He was only an absorbed
businessman, so intent upon his own

Almost as a matter of course this frock
is made of silk, for silk is the material
of general use this season. In this case
it IS taffeta and it Is trimmed with popiIn
and the combination of material is an
effective one. 1t can be copied, however,
in wool material and in the washable ma
terials. Light weight French serge or
gabardine would be very pretty made
In this way with taffeta trimming. Linen
and the various cotton fabrics are per-
fectly adapted to the design. At the
sides and back the blouse and skirt are
Joined by means of narrow belt and the
wide ornamental belt is arranged over the
narrower one.
For the I6 year size will be needed,
Ga yards of material II inches wide, S

Ofisetting Foods, Docs Not ktl, IL
Simply Enfeebles Vitality, Lowers
Resistance, and Predisposes to Dis
ease-White Bread in the Absence
of Offsetting Food Kills.
We have seen the Importance of
minerals in the soil.
We have seen the effects upon vege-
table life of withdrawing from their
reach any one or any group OF these
minerals.
We have studied the results of nu-
merous scientific investigations with
respect to the effects upon animal life
that follow any interference with the
normal mineral food supply.
Let us now see how the facts which
have been recorded through these
pages are supported by certain start
ling experiences.
The Madeira-Mamore Railway COM
sists of a single track, 232 miles long,
connecting Bolivia with Brazil. 1t
was finished in 1908 for the purpose of
exploiting the rubber industry of
South America. In its construction
bread, the victims of acidosis.
The dead are all buried in Candle
laria graveyard, three kilometers
south of Porta-Velho, midway between
that town and Santo- Antonio in the
State of Matto-Grosso.
In 1915 the Madeira Mamore Rail-
way Company went into bankruptcy,
after which the facts concerning its
appalling history were diVulged by
engineers who had been connected
with the enterprise.
In the various articles written about
the building of the road for electrical
engineering and scientific publications
all reference to the deaths of these
1000 laborers, as the result of white
bread starvation, was carefully blotted
out. Off1cials of the company thought
that the public would misinterpret
the facts at the expense of the best
interests of the country through
which the railroad passed If they were
made known. It was thus decided
that no mention of them should be
made.
When P. II. Ashmead, chief engineer
of the railway and one of the best
known consulting engineers of New
York City, himself victim of white
bread starvation, reported on the
number of deaths in camp, his figures,
which symbolzed a. dreadful holo-
caust, were deliberately changed from
1000 to 1000, the idea being, pre-
sumably, to make the facts through
the application of simple arithmetic
look less dreadful.
When Ashmead at work on the road
discovered the first symptoms of his
approaching breakdown he took the
next boat for England. The treat
ment which saved him from untimely
interment in Candelaria graveyard
will be described later.
One of his associate engineers, H.
F. Dose, who devoted three years to
the completion of the work. made
