FLOGGED GIRL.
Allegations Against Society Beauty,
A study for the neurotist seems to bo indicated in a story from Budapest of & girl being imprisoned and flugged by a society beauty.
Atrocious ill-treatment of a beautiful girl seamstress in a suito at the Ritz Hotel, the most fashionable in Budapest, is alleg. od against Charlotte Reode, a celebrated socioty beauty, who was formerly in Budapost opora and is well known as a singor.
She engaged as a neodlowoman pretty Mathilde Metzler, aged 19, a friondlass orphan. Mathilde, formerly a plump, bright-eyed girl, is now almost a skeleton, and told the police she was kept a prisoner for three months in two rooms in the sulto. Sho was obliged to work unclothed at a
Isowing machine she says, and
was
flogged, kicked, bitten, pinched, and deliberately starved. Before leaving Budapest, Roode restored the girl's clothing and dictated a statement to her which sho made her sign, declaring everything that happened was trontmont for hystoria. Thon Roode gave Mathilde hor liberty.
The employment association through which Mathilde Was engaged have begun proceedings. The Ritz manigemont never saw Mathilde after her arrival and be- loved Roode's story of hysteria.
