Bah IN REAL LIFE
HedOuine Hyatt Denied Com
paniOnship of Boy Friends.
So Girl in Teens Creates Them
in Her Imagination.
ADMITS ENGAGEMENT BOGUS
Announcement in Topeka Pa
pers Brings Insanity Charges.
Father Did Not Mean To IRSin-
uate Insanity Plea.

Bah, Mary Roberts Rinehart's ia
nous creation in femininty, was denied
boys while in her teens. She created
an ideal of young manhood in her
own mind, wrote to her pantalooned
mummery and precipitated her sweet,
young self in all sorts of trouble.
Hedouine Hyatt, rich Topeka girl,
still in her teens, did much the same
thing She invented the parsonage of
one Jacques O'Brien, evidently an
Irish Canadian with money and style.
She wrote to the Topeka papers and
announced her engagement to the
man of her dreams.
A few hours later she was sitting
across the table from a commission of
medical men, being tried for insanity
Insanity charges had been filed
against her in the Shawnee county
probate court by her mother, Mrs.
Mary C. Hyatt. The commission
withheld a decision as to the girls
sanity.
She Defends Herself.
Taken absolutely by surprise when
the charges were presented against
her at the court house, yet Hedouine

eral months ago, induced his sister to
go to the court house. They had to

Edouard told his sister.
Yes, she liked the boys. Hedouine
admitted. What girl didn't? Other
girls had boy companions. She was
denied their companionship. So she did
the best she could to talk to them
whenever an opportunity arose and
during the time she, was kept incom-
municado she permitted an active i'm
agination to work and build men of
her dreams for her.
A Brother-in-Law in Case.
The fake engagement she explained
easily She had been visiting her sis
ter in Toledo, Ohio, until few days
ago. Her brother-in-law showed her
attentions, she told the commission,
and she sent the engagement an
nouncement to Topeka from Toledo
for the purpose of making him be-

She came into her majority the day

property rights of girls from 81 to IS

his divorced wife and son, Edouard,
in testifying to the girls alleged in
sanity, told the commission that the
girl was boy crazy. He described a
trip to California in an endeavor to
break the boy habit. In San Fran
cisco hotels she became friendly with
the bell hops,'' he told the commits
sion, and rode up and down the ele-
vators with them. Also, he told the
court that she had the insanity of
newspaper reporters, no regard for
the value of a dollar.
Denied Her Percentage?
In addition, he told the commits
sion. that the girl had written letters
in which she denied her real par
entage. She had turned against him,
Doctor Hyatt testified, had turned
against his lodges and had become at
tached to the Catholic faith, altho,
he declared, he didn't care whether
she was a Catholic or a Jew if she
would change her other ways.
Mrs. Hyatt testified that she had
accompanied Hedouine on the trip to
Toledo. From Toledo, they went to
Ann Arbor, Mich. to attend foot
ball game. From Ann Arbor, the
girl insisted on going to Kankakee to
see a foster mother"
Edouard was the next witness. He
also testified to queer actions.'
'GirI of Mystery"
Halle Phillips. a pretty girl in
white furs and a black cloak, who was
the woman of mystery in the early
part of the hearing, was finally called
to the stand. Prior to being employed
as a companion for Hedouine, she
had been a waitress in a Harvey
house, her testimony disclosed. She
testified that Hedouine had told her
the engagement announced was a
joke, Just to cause a little excite
ment"
Maj. A. M. Harvey, appeared in be-
half of Hedouine. He endeavored to
reconcile Doctor Hyatt and his di-
vorced wife while the hearing was in
progress.
81 Can Never Forgive
1T am a broken man with but a
short time to live" said Doctor Hyatt,
but I can never forgive my wife for
the cruel injury she has done me-"
The romance of the Hyatt family
was again aired during the hearing.
1t was told how Doctor Hyatt's aged
and wealthy sister had adopted the
three Hyatt children so she might
leave them her fortune without legal
complications Then, it was related,
that after her death they were re-
adopted by Doctor Hyatt and his wife.
Hedouine flew into a rage in the
court room when the insanity COM
plant was first presented to her. She

Wants Court to Handle Her.
Doctor Hyatt stated today that the
entire family was Mortified when it
realized that Hedouine was being tried
for insanity before'a commission. The
idea of his wife and son and himself
had been to place the girl under the
courts direction until she is 21 years
of age and better able to take care OF
her money. AS things stand at pres
ent the girl may come and go as she
pleases, Doctor Hyatt explained
Under the courts jurisdiction she
would be obliged to consent to a

HOW TO RELIEVE
HEAD NOISES
GOOD ADVICE FOR THOSE WHO
FEAR DEAFNESS.


People who are growing hard Of hear
ing and who experience a stuffy feeling
Of pressure against their ear drums, ac-
compauied by buzzing, rumbling sounds in
their head like water falling or steam es-
gaping should take prompt and effective
measures to stop this trouble. Head noises
are almost invariably the forerunners Of
complete or partial deafness, and most
deaf people suffer from them constantly.
Sometimes these head noises become so dis
tracing and -racking, with their
never ceasing hum" they drive the SUI
ferer almost frantic and complete nervous
breakdown may result.
Thanks to Il remarkable prescription, u
is now possible to lessen the severity OF
these head noises and often completely
overcome them and with the disappearing
of the head noises the hearing also greatly
improves and very frequently can be re-
pared at home and we believe is most
effective treatment for this trouble. From
