'AGAN TASTE FOR PLEASURE WILLING TO PAY ANY PRIC] This Is What Miss Helen P. McCoi mick Says About Type of Girl the Present Day is Developing. (By Winifred Van Duzer.) New York, June 17.?Moths an .he flame have played out anothe [>f their eternal games here. The flame is dead?puffed out b revenge. Pleasure, doubtful prize c the ^layrncr, lies among the ashes, sordid thing. But the moths 1;" nuueiing btiore the iusii o? uio bro!'^n-w:^>rc !, ,)it:able I't/.le cr?!?**v es, altogether unlike the butterrlit they appeared on Broadway. The game is over. And in the cl! card lie a few significant objects; silken negligee; a pair of little, silke slippers; an old man's false teet and wig. A Big Sister. Miss Helen P. McCormick, who assistant district attorney of King county and who, outside of her ofl cial position is a sort of big sister 1 all the srrls and women of Brookly who need a big sister, today said th< not the frame nor those who playe it, but the things in the discard ai what count. She said: "Joseph Bowne Elwell was a shar He was part of the sham which ii r*ludei? the lights of Broadway an the little early hours which brir dawn to this city?and regret. "AH men who wear false teeth an ^ v-;,- ,^rP n0+ shammers. But h wore his to simulate youth; to lur Forbidden pleasure, in itself a sham. Not Normal Life. "Net his was the normal, naturr >o*Tvce of n ivan'* life; fatherhooc lome, gently stealing asre. "A pathetic sham, though sinistei Don Juan striving agaicst the rav d ages of time; drugging his sensibili ties with running clamor; caring ro d hiniselt as it he were a professions it beauty. to "lie was a flame, disguised by a set of lalse teeth' and a wig. A poor little moths. a "And the other bits of discard? )- the little neglige and slippers?thos 11 are symbols of the price women pa for luxury." , ?f Knew Fifty Women, e Mrs. Marie Larsen, housekeepe for the turfman and man about tow ic admitted today that she did not knc\ ^ which of the many women who visit tho Vinnso on Seventieth streel d owned the dainty garments which pc h lice found in the boudoir there. Ac ie cording to other stories Elwell wa ;y intimately acquainted with as man; j. as fifty women. i- Back of it all, Miss McCormic !t said, is a story of improper childhoo h training, lack of reverence for law 5. complete selfishness. She contin v ued: "Many similar cases go milling j through the courts here, differen y only in that romance is less domi ^ nant, because there is less mone; r with which to disguise sordidness. "We find they almost always rui t in the same groove; little or no homi e influence round principals as chil dren and then companions preaching : lawless fluttering after excitement. I "Of course every girl who rogue: 5 and marcels and dresses herself uj to venture into the glare of th( a bright lights expects to make her ap pearance there as a butterfly. ! "How few of them realized thai ; beneath the gilding of every butter i fly's wings lie the dusty grey of th< , moth's!" Mien ATf?rir?rmir>]f declared that s type of girl the present day is de _ veloping is marked with an almosl j pagan taste for pleasure and the will. ingness to pay almost any price foi . luxury. Interested Only in Self. "She brooks no restraint; recogI nizes no duties to family nor society , her sole interest is herself and satis^ faction of *L' "This type, I presume, made up t the little moths which dashed thems selves against the flame of Elwell's [ personality, with all its lure of my?1 tery and fame of feminine con, quest." According to latest theories of the police, Elwell's slayer was the husj band, father, or brother or some wo. man wronged by the elderly flame j during his excursions among moths ; in various parts of the country. Up; * on this Miss McCormick had this tc ? say: "Th* time is pa?t when womar ? mav shift responsibility for her so-j rial moral acts; when she can la-\ 2 the blame upon some one el**'? particularly a man's, bp j cause of her sex. "Unless a woman wills it so. shf - ?ni Viovcol-f in duncrpr Tt ?! y Will IIVI/ lUiia f the e*'^eptionril man who wants to b< - h**d: if ft woman cul^vati*? in a m"' wbnf c]-jp firths that is good, she v i - find little else. Love and Honor. "No woman?especially no Amevi r can woman?wants a bad man f What we crave is protection, lovi n and honor. If the poor little moth r only would recognize th:s befor s they are blinded by the glare of th< P game. d "There are hundreds scatterei '* through the ^abarets and restau d rants of Broadway at this very min ute. And there are hundreds flut r tering about throughout the land y for moths go flame seeking in vil * lages and hamlets and in the wid< G spaces quite as faithfully as they d' * in New York. } y "You see it is the moth elements . really, which creates the flame. With out the poor,. blind things dashinj " - ' " -Li > J 1- ? ? themselves to aeatn, mere u ue n< object for the flame existing. 0 "That's the answer. When womei have reached a point where noni among them are moths, there will b< l_ no EI wells murdered in the night b; ^ someone seeking revenge.'' e MISS RISER HAS INTEREST n IN TA'i Jel SPK1NG6 HOTEJ :t.
