TlOo Women Come to GripsAgain
in Harry Haw Insanity Hearing

Tower studio where the parties were
given for the rich young men about
town and the chorus girls and Evelyn
emerged one night from PAPER ma
che pic. glorious throbbing young
creature, an artists study in the
nude
Laura Jean Libby in her palmiest
days never thought of such plot or
such story as came ripping from
the lins OF Evelyn Thaw on the wit
ness stand. 1t held the world spell
bound. Evelyn still was innocent in
those days. despite her experience at
the hands OF Stanford White. despite
her experiences abroad with Harry
Thaw, the nights at the Dead Rat in
Paris. the nights Of flagellation. the
nights of ahsinthe intoxication. III not
innocent. ct least she wore the mask
of innocence and it was intensely he
coming.
But much water has flowed under
the bride since then. Evelyn has
been adrift. Like Harry Thaw him
self. she has once attempted to end her
life. At another time the body of a
lifeless girl found in the Potomac river
was thought TO be hers. But Evelyn
said then that when she finally com
mittcd suicide it would be in a more
spectacular manner than merely fling
ing herself into some dark waters.
Evelyn says success has come to her
at last. BY night she dances in the
cabaret at Atlantic City. BY dag she
comes to the insanity hearing here.
Apparently she is prosperous and ap-
parcntly no longer a drug addict. She
claims she was illegally divorced. that
she knew nothing OF the suit until it
was all over. Evelyn lives by the
public and for the prblic.
Old Mrs. Thav, however. asks moth
ing of the public. not even its SYM
pathy. She looks uron the public.
upon the people, as her enemies. She
remembers that It always has been
1.-THE people VS.. Harry h. Thaw." The
people demanded her sons life. Now
they demand his incarceration. Why
should the common people make so
bold with Il Thaw? Those who saw
Mrs. Thaw at her sons trials remtm-
Der the reluctance with which she
permitted the insanity plea TO be made.
That was the crushing blow. There
was no belief that the con had done
wrong. The plea of elemental
Americana" was music in her cars.

THE "SANTA SACK"
GAME FOR KIDDIES

~ ANITA CLAUS is a real problem
% to some mothers. Shall their
children be told the truth about
Santa Claus, or shall they think of
him as sliding down the chimney with
reindeer and sleigh7 This idea may
help some mother who is puzzled over
this question:
Before our little folks were old
enough to understand about the exist
ence of Santa Claus, whenever we
saw a picture of the jolly old man,
we called him Sunny, or Smiling
Santa, because he looked happy. And
he looked happy because he was good
and kind to everyone. So when the
children quarreled or pOuted we would
try to have them smile and look jolly,
like Santa, whose picture we had
among others we referred to, as moral
or myth pictures.
AS the children grew to understand
more fully the meaning of the Christ
mastide we played a game, Santa
sack" which meant that If they al
lowed each other or their playmates
to play with their toys or gave them
Of their apples or cookies they were
playing Santa Claus, because Santa
Claus was unselfsh and divided what
ever he had from his sack.
Sometimes when their playmates
came, we would say, you'll want to
play Santa Sack and away they
would skip to distribute their toys like
Santa. They delighted to play and
be called Santa when they ran er-
rands, smiled or did something kind.
Santa was a make-believe creature,
as characters in poems which we
read to them, such as 1.-THE Raggedy
Man" "Chlldren's Hour" "Jack
Sprat," "Hiawatha." Anyone who
gave a gift at any time Of year was
a Santa. And whenever Santa Claus
distributed gifts at school or at any
public place, they were delighted that
someone was playing Santa as they
played "bear," doctor" or teacher
In the home with their little friends.
For anyone who is unselfsh, kind and
cheerful is to them a Santa Claus to
someone else.
As they grew older the Santa sack
was woven into a lesson story with
the thought that each Of us has some
thing in smiles, kind words and deeds
to give to another all the time. For
the real Santa gave much-all he
had-frOm his sack Of treasures in
Bethlehem long ago! So Santa Claus
means unselfshness, cheerfulness,
kIndness-many things that are worth
while to our children. Gertrude
Walton.

AUNT LIZZIE ANN'S
CHRISTMAS LETTER

- OW. if Aunt Lizzie Ann had
SEt only written for Christmas, the
~'$ family agreed as they sat
around the big fire that blazed upon
the open hearth, everything would
have been just perfect. AS it was,
things were awfully nice and everyone
was having such good time, but
Aunt Lizzie AIMS Christmas letter
had failed to cOme-the first miss
since they all remembered-and its
absence cast a little cloud over them,
try as they would to hide it.
Aunt Lizzie Ann had always written
the dearest Christmas letter-gifts
she had none to send since Uncle Ed
died several years agO-but always
there had been that wonderful letter,
that breathed so deep the very spirit
of Christmas that it had almost be-
come part of the very time itself for
the DermOtt family. And although
none of the family had yet framed the
thought that Aunt Lizzie Ann must be
ill, or something dreadful must have
happened, it lay heavy upon them all.
So when George announced that he
was going down to the telegraph office
to wire they all agreed that 1t was the
best thing to do.
A soft, pOwdery snow was falling
as he opened the door to step without.
He had been gone only a short time
when a shout from him brought them
all to the doorway. And there, with
the snOwfiakes falling around her, was
the dearest little old lady, laden with
bundles. which George tried in vain
to help her with.
"It's Aunt Lizzie Ami" they all
cried in unison. And sure enough it
was Aunt Lizzie Ann, coming this
year herself instead Of sending her
usual letter, and she had the dearest
and lOveliest gifts for them all.
And when the excitement of her
coming had died down and they all sat
around the blazing logs again, Aunt
Lizzie Ann explained how she had
been able TO come Uncle Ed had
taken out an endowment policy for her
several years ago; it had now ma
tured and she was free to do the
things she had wanted to for so long.
'YOu have been giving to me for so
many years." she said, "it makes me
feel real good to be able to make
some return at last"
But the family assured her in all
sincerity that it was she who had
given the most to them always-fOr
her wonderful Christmas letter had
helped them more than they could
ever tell her-Katherine Edelman.
