had left her only half unconscious. l The mans treatment of Starr left her with twisted mental reactions, while the autopsy indicated an inn pairment of internal organs, accord ! ing to Faithful treaceable to the early maltreatment.
 Starr had been pictured by some papers as a girl with numerous men friends. She did have men friends, the Faithfulls explain, but they were men of good family and respectabil- ity. Her interest in men, owing to her early experiences turned to the intellectual rather than physical at fractions. For instance she liked some officers she met on her several cruises and found intellectual stim- ulation from their talk of travel and experience in the far corners of the world.
 Sometimes she had moments of amorous impulse but according to her stories to her mother, the idea of yielding to these was repulsive.
 The alienist consulted by Starr endeavored to restore her mind to normal reactions and recommended diversions, change of scenery and considerable exercise. He advised that she should overcome her re- l according to Faithful
 | The family undertook to aid in restoring the girl to a. happier out look on life than she had had in the years she was hiding mani | festly torturing secret. They treat ed her kindly, and sought to retain | her confidence so that they might know how to deal with moods or depressions when they should ap- pear.
 Restlessness during this period | was 8 marked characteristic. Upon returning from a trip abroad. she would start planning. for another. "She told us that if she could only have something to look for ward to, she would always be happy" Faithful said.
 He said that when she was in London, the family had constant reports on her conduct from the manageress of the hotel where she lived or chaperones and these were uniformly good.
 If there had been any episodes such as have been reported in the press, we unquestionably would have heard of them through these sources in whom we had confidence" Faith full added. We feel certain that in some of the things reported it must have been a case of mistaken identity.
 "The escapades reported in the press of a life in Greenwich Village could not have occurred as, owing to her depressed condition during a good portion of the period since her return from Europe last fall she had spent most of her time at home. Not one evening had she been out except in the company of her moth CT during this entire time, with the exception of the last three days of her life.
 And during the daytime. we were able to account for her whereabouts so the stories told of escapades must be a case of mistaken identity or the inventions of the sensational press.
 "On only two or three occasions in Starr's entire life have we ever had knowledge of her being in what is commonly known as an intoxi- cated condition. In the present age, we think that this is rather ex ceptional statement to be able to make with regard to most society girls.
 "The trouble with her was that owing to this difference in her men tai reactions toward life, liquor did not have the normal effect upon her. Even a small amount of liquor, comparatively, would not only change her mental behavior but at times her mind would become total blank. She would behave as in normal times but she would not remember afterward that had taken place."
 Mrs Faithful and daughter, Tuck CT, went with her to London last June. "Bamby'' had spells of hap piness and depression. When she returned, she seemed to show inn provement. When she returned last November she was depressed at the thought that she could not remain in England, but in time she became reconciled to the return, and was very happy the day she left home never to return alive.
