The Girl Who Had No Chance
loved pleasure, and the idea of a ga,
party was most alluring
BY MARION RUBiNcAM

loved pleasure, and the idea of a gay
party was most alluring.
She went around about 10 o'clock,
wanting to talk to Myra' first.
That young lady was dressing in
her finest. or rather, Emily's finest
gown. Ruth had on the little white
dress she had graduated in, that had
been best" ever since
But you can't wear that, darlinn"
Myra exclaimed, kissing her and look
ing her over. You look countrified
You're just got to wear one of my
things. Never mind. half Of the people
coming tonight won't remember ever
seeing it on me. Try this. I shan
wear it again, it's awfully worn"
Ruth had to consent, since her old
fashioned white wash dress did look sc
badly in contrast to Myra's gorgeous.
ness. She mended the dress first, then
slipped it on-a gray chiffon that to
her was cut shockingly low.
We'll just cut off this top tunic.
Myra decided, getting pair scissors
That's the soiled one. Now, see
it's a different dress" The removal
of the torn fabric did make it look
fresh and quite different in style. Ruth
decided. And when Myra added Il
fame-color chiffon scarf, she felt very
much pleased with herself
my, but you look different! Try
your hair like mine" In her desire to
dress up" her old chum, Myra was
forgetting all her self-consciousness
Between them they piled Ruth's hair
high on her head. Then it was found
that pair of Emilys gray suede slip
pers. too small for Myra, were abou:
Ruth size.
Look at yourself now" Myra cried
And Ruth turned to the mirror.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have found
the one girl in the world for me.
What do you think it would cost to
furnish three or four rooms and on
how much can two people live?
I am earning better than one hun
dred dollars a month and have a
couple of hundred dollars saved in the
bank. 7 wouldn't like to have her
work after becoming my wife and
would like to make her as comfortable
as possible.
Would it be all right for us to marry
now, or should We wait until we have
more funds to start on?
REX.
The most satisfactory way for you
to find out how much it would cost to
furnish three rooms would be to look
at furniture and price it. You should
also take into consideration kitchen
utensils and have the girl make list
Of what she would need Everything
depends upon the kind of furniture you
would consider satisfactory and to
your liking.
1t is also difficult to set a figure. re-
garding the amount of money it would
take for two people to live. The fol-
lowing is budget for a newiy-married
couple with an income Of s123:
Savings. ST.; food. S35; rent, $50;
clothing. $40 operating, $12; advance
ment. $11.
"Operating' includes, the expenses
such as heat. light. repairs, etc Ad-
vancement includes amusements, edu-
cation, etc. In the above list you may
see places where you could cut your
expenses to less. and other places
where it would cost YOU more than
have suggested
If vou and the girl have been used
TO living with many luXuries. your in
come vould not be sufficient. Con
sider the problem seriously before you
decide 10 marry If you marry with

happy. You are quite right in wanting

right that woman with home duties

Punch Starts Near Riot
In Times Subway Station

A riot was narrowly averted at the
Times Square subway station last night
when Jerome Ambros, twenty-five years
old, law student of 249 Himrod Street,
Brooklyn, struck a gateman in the nose
Joseph Johnson, fifty-two years old,
the gateman, told the police he was try
ing to prevent Ambros from boarding
train that was already crowded when
the young man struck him. When
Johnson blew a police whistle hun
dreds of men and women rushed from
all directions, and while the gateman
was struggling to get Ambros away
from the train packed multitude
pinned both men to the side Of the
car at which the trouble had originated
Several women who were in the thick
of the crush screamed for aid, and men
on the outside of the melee, thinking
women were being abused or injured,
tried to fight their way forward. John
son had to make a speech In eXplana-
ton of the situation before he could
remove Ambros from the platform.
Ambros told the police that Johnson
used rough methods in dealing with
him and that he merely resented being
improperly handled by public servant.

of the father, shall legitimate previous
issue. Unless the language of the statute
requires 1T, 1T is unnecessary that the
man shall be in fact the father of the
child. Such statutes, being remedial,
should receive a liberal construction,
and are generally held to extend to the
issue OF an intercourse, al
though the contrary has also been held
to operate in respective sense to the
extent of legitima ating those whose par
ents had married before the passage
Of the act but have been held not to
affect the property relations of hus-
band and wife.
Effect of legitimation. In the alb
sence of restrictions in the statute,
legitimation places an illegitimate
child, as far as inheritable blood is
concerned, on the same footing as off
spring born in lawful wedlock. This
status of the child will obtain every
where and no act or statement of the
father or mother can thereafter
change it.
what law governs. The general
current of modern authority favors the
doctrine that, where an illegitimate
child has been legitimated, such legiti-
macy follows the child wherever it
may go and entities it to all the rights
flowing from such status, including the
right to inherit.
Presumption in Child's Favor
"Presumptions. A child is presumed
to be legitimate until the contrary is
shown. In case of conflicting presump-
tions, that in favor of legitimacy will
prevail. Every child born in wedlock
is by law presumed to be legitimate,
even though it may be shown also that
the wife during the time was guilty of
infidelity. So firm was the presumption
originally that it could not be rebutted.
But this rule was repudiated more than
a century ago, and gave way to the
modern doctrine that the presumption
may be rebutted by any competent and
relevant evidence that the husband
could not have been the father of the
child.

an assumed legitimacy has remained

Miami shore. During the bankers visit
here several weeks ago he lived on it

Mrs. Leeds and Mr.. Stillman were
frequently seen together at Miami
Beach social events this winter. In her
parties the banker was usually includ-
ed, but the fact at that time aroused
no comment. Mrs. Leeds became we'll
known and popular among the wealthy
set here. Vlvacious, young and beauti-
ful, she was we'll received in society,
although her private life, outside the
fact that she had appeared on the stage,
was more or less of closed book.
With personal friend here Mrs.
Leeds once discussed affairs which may
have a bearing in the suit when it is
brought to court. These things con-
cerned her child, boy two years old,
who, she declared, was a child by her
marriage several years ago.
"Ihey are trying to get something

is quoted as saying at that time

bank, however, were of q different
opinion. They said that Mr.. Stillman's
long continued silence was policy

soclates did not agree, and that the
subject of the divorce probably would

to determine whether such q course Of
action was best for the interests of the

banker who knows Mr.. Stillman
we'll and had heard reports of his di-

came public, said that he saw Mrs.
Leeds in Miami a few days ago, but
that Mr.. Stillman was not there and
that he doubted the truth of reports
that Mr.. Stillman had been with her
in the South recently.
The fact that evidence in the pos
session of Mrs. Stillman is said to
allege an association in Florida between
Mr.. Stilman and Mrs. Leeds gave rise

Status of Children at Stake
Other possible eventualities in the
case have prompted discussion among
legal authorities as to the future
status of the child Jay Leeds and the
child Guy Stillman. If the present
action should be decided in favor of
Mrs. Stillman and he carries out the de-
termination attributed to him-that of
marrying Mrs. Leeds-it is said that
Jay would take the place of Guy as a
legitimate heir to part of the Stillman
fortunes.
In discussing this ramifcation Of the
case reference is made by lawyers tc
the following quotations from the Law
on legitimacy as set forth in corpus
juris:
Subsequent marriage of parent. The
civil and canon law, in contradistinc
tion to the common law, allowed the
subsequent marriage of the parents tt

From a Staf Correspondent

LAKEWOOD, N. j., March 20.-Guy
Stillman, twenty-eight months old, fair,
chubby and prattling, posed for his pic
ture here to-day with all the uncon-
Germ Of innocence. This famous baby,
whose parentage is questioned and for
whose sake Mrs. Anne Urquhart Still
man is bringing counter-suit in the
divorce action of her husband, could
not fail to ingratiate himself as CO.
defendant in any suit. No austcrity
could withstand the ways Of the child
whose name has been smirched in a
sensational divorce suit Those who
watched him could only feel intensely
sorry that such shadow should have
crossed his pnth almost before he had
learned to walk
Naturally, Guy did not know what
it was all about when he was led to the
tennis court at Laurel-in-the- Pines and
suddenly surrounded by group of
men who told him to look this way and
that, to smile and not to smile, to stand
up and to knecl down. But his brother
Alec was there to look after him, and
If there is one thing in the world more
than another that Guy loves it is nine
year-old Alec. SO when Alec got in the
pictures, too, Guy twined his arms
around his neck and kissed him low
ingly. This was repeated so many
times that it threatened to hold up
proceedings.
Older Lad Tender
."Put zoos arms roun' me, Alec" he
whispered, and with great tenderness
the older boy caught the little chap
and they both smiled happily as they
turned toward the camera. 1t is a rare
thing for baby of this age to stand
one camera, let alone a battery, with
out blinking an eye. But Guy went
patiently through the whole perform
ance with occasional impromptu acts of
his own, such as to pull up his long
white stockings or give Alec another
kiss. While this was going on large
audience hung out of the windows of
the hotel and strained over the ivy to
watch the boys. There is an endless
amount of curiosity and speculation re-
garding them among the people staying
here.
