night in a squalid Second avenue fiat.
Known to few persons in the vicin-

frequent and brief taxicab rides to
Times Square and home again, for a
glimpse of the bright lights, arong
which her own name once twinkled.
She drove up in taxi with her dogs,
neighbors said, and took the fiat, ex-
planning that her rent would be guar
anteed by various theatrical charities.
Apparently. they said, that was her
only source of income.
The dogs never were seen again, as
Mrs. Stephens, who claimed her hus-
band was celebrated criminal lawyer,
had no callers.
Last night the whimpering Of the
animals attracted attention and po-
liceman forced entry into the home.
Her body was taken to the city
morgue and the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals took
