PUBLICITY IS NOT GOOD

Miss Owen Went to Look Over “Home Habits” of Burton, Then Did Not Wed Him. Evansville, Ind. —Publicity is not good for affairs of the heart. It became known recently that Miss Olive Owen of Brooklyn, the verse writer, who came here several weeks ago to live in the same house with O. Abbot Burton, her suitor, in order to observe his “home habits,” has left without becoming engaged to Burton. “Now, you see what you have done,’! said Burton to a reporter. “We came to no definite understanding before she left, but I hope to hear from her. This publicity has been very distasteful to her and has caused her to leave. However, I don’t blame you, and there is no use crying over spilt milk.” Miss Owen is in Chicago visiting friends. She will return to Brooklyn. Miss Owen came to observe how Burton treated his mother. Burton said that after they had met in Chicago he communicated with her by means of thought waves.
