m0tt0n n0m the cn0n0 cOttege. Inc VOICE OF
Mn. Thomas was heard high and shrill pouring out
. vollsy Of osths which were punctuated by the
crash Of crockery. Shonts could be heard trying to
reason with her, trying to calm her, implorng her
to keep quiet.
"shonts finally appeared on the porch in great
hurry, and behind him came Amanda in negligee,
half clad filing the air with words that were not
pleasant to hear. She had in her hand. the neigh
bors told Mrs. Shonts, large table lamp, and as
Shonts turned and made last stand, trying to
SON with her, she hurled the lamp at Shonts. The
missile just missed his head and smashed upon the
floor Of the porch. Shonts made his escape, with
Amanda shouting after him"
Violent temper and profanity were rather easy
to stir up, 1t would seem, although not every row
ended in Mr.. Shonts having to dodge lamp or a
vase SHE'D at his massive head. Here is q rather
mild rumpus which started in with smashed coffee
cup. But Shonts pro6ting by other experiences.
appears to have cut short the gathering storm by
escaping before the crockery began to fly.
Jules Bizuel, who was with them at the West End
avenue apartment house, describes this little scene
as follows:
"Mrs Thomas frequently asked Mr.. shonts to
take her to the theatre. They went very seldom,
however Once she was anxious, II seemed, to 60 to
the Metropolitan Opera House. Mr. Shonts had
agreed to 90 with her. but the day Of the opera he
said at breakfast he didn't believe he could CO. be-
