LLE. ANDREE CORDAY, the well-
own Parisian singer who left
her home in Paris and the hos

in order that she might take a role
offered her by Impresario Andrea Dip
pel as the governess in "The Lilac
Domino." which comes to the Heilig
Theater, Broadway, at Taylor, for three
nights commencing Thursday, January
25, with a matinee Saturday, explains
her seeming lack of patriotism in al
most convincing manner.
"I was heart-'broken," says Mile.
Corday, "and nerve-wrecked and the
opportunity to escape for a while from
the scenes of universal suffering was
a godsend. I was never more over
Joyed in my life than I was when 1
received Monsieur Dippel'a letter offer
ing me my present role. The sight
of so many thousands of soldiers
multilated and suffering, and so much
weeping of women and little children
remains with me yet. but in 'The Lilac
Domino' the spirit of the piece is so
Joyous and care-free that. It makes
me forget the long nightmare which
my experience in the hospital was to
me.
"It Is not every onawho Is fitted to
be a nurse. I am not. My sympathetic
nerves are too supersensitive. Why. 1
have suffered all the pains of amputa
tion as I stood -by and held essentials
while a soldier lay on the operating
table. And I have felt the hot, sharp
pain of shrapnel in my own body while
dressing the wounds of a poor un
conscious lad.

Woman Sued for Charge of Alienation,
However, Snya Dnushter-ln-Law's
Misconduct Was Cause.
An answer in the $200,000 alienation
suit of Mrs. Vina I. Tyler against Mrs.
Parmelia L. Tyler was filed In the Cir
cuit Court yesterday, 'making a general
denial of most of the allegations of the
plaintiff.
Since the marriage of Mrs. Vina Tyler
to William M.Tyler in Chicago in 1891,
Mrs. Tyler's mother-in-law, Mrs. Par
melia Tyler, has endeavored to break up
their home, the complaint charged, say
ing further the purpose was to prevent
the daughter-in-law from sharing in
the $250,000 estate inherited by Mrs.
Parmelia Tyler in 1913.
The answer admits that when the
Tylers came to Portland in 1915, Mrs
Parmelia Tyler advised her daughter-
lu-law to go to a separate boarding
house and not to stay with her hus
band and mother-in-law, but asserts
that this was because of the abuse and
misconduct of Mrs. Vina Tyler.
The answer. filed by Attorneys
Brownell & Slevers, of Oregon City, ad
mits also that Mr. Tyler is the only
heir-at-law and that he supported the
plaintiff since marriage, but denies that
he haa lived with her as a wife since
January, 1915, before coming to Port
land.
Mrs. Parmelia Tyler la a widow. 84
