CLOCK MISSED HER, HE SHIED A BOWL WITH BETTER AIM Wife Tells of Missiles Used ; by Rider in Alleged Long Abuse. SHE NAMES “MRS. JACK.” \English Novelist Believes Every One Needs the Dis- cipline of Soul That Comes With Matrimony, Which Teaches Lessons, Even Though Unhappy. | Diffident and Retiring, He Likes Old Women Better Than Young, Though He Admires Fashionabie Cosiumes and Is an Enthusiastic Suffragist.

The husband ts Hobert FE. Rider, a livery man, who has an income of more than $15 a week. Mrs. Rider was a ‘widow with @ grown daughter, Mildred, when she married to Rider in July, 1908, Almost from the day of their marriage, the cruelties she complains of began, according to her lawyer, John G. Snyder, After reading the nine typewritten pages of inhuman acts she enumerates, Justice Bischoff reserved Nis decision. Two weeks after the wedding, Mra. Rider claims, her husband borrow $4,000 from her and invested it in livery business, She was not able a to wet it back until this year, when she! collected it in instalme: Two months after the wedding he struck Wer and knocked her to the floor, and then slapped her sister, Mrs. Marle Langmuir, who protested. BETTER MARKSMAN WITHCHOP- PING BOWL THAN CLOCK. A week later, “in a furious onslaught provoked by drink,” he threw a large clock at her head. Mrs. Rider dodged successfully, but Rider, “disappointed at missing his mark,” she declares selected a chopping bowl as a mis. “His aim was true, and the chopping bowl struck me over the ear, felling me to the floor,” the wife describes the accuracy of her husband's marks- manship. A few days later Rider attacked her Gaughter, the wife culms Mildred was in the bathroom when [tider Kicked the glass door down and threw her into the hallway.

Any sort of marriage is better than single ness, if only for the lessons it teaches, and for the necessary discipline of the sout. At least, Mr. Arnold Bennett thinks so, And what Mr. Bennett thinks is a very important matter since the world awoke to the amazing excellence of his novels, “Clayhanger,” “The Old Wives’ Tale, ‘Whom God Hath Joined” or whichever one you happen to be carrying obout with you. Mr. Bennett has been the man of the moment fn | literary England for some time now. English moments are long. But it Is} only during the past year that he may be said to have arrived fully in| the United States. In fact, William Dean Howells, whose discursive view surveys the literary world from England to Ind{ana, proclaimed Mr. Ben- |nett recently the most promising of all writers of English, the heir of all those great novelists who, being safely dead, may also safely be declared reat. “Hail, king that shall be!” was the substance of Mr. Howells‘ sage. | Following closely upon the heels of his fame, Mr. Bennett came to New York last week, Not that he wished to follow his fame—far from it! As soon as he reached our shores the most diMfident of authors retired to the home of his publisher, George H. Doran, a leafy fastness in Yonkers, where I found him. One Aiscovers first of all about Mr. ynett that his attitude toward his renown 1s one of deprecation, of 1n- credulity even. “One writes a perfectly simple ordl- nary thing that everybody knows,” he “and yet people begin to exo.alm ‘How extraordinary!
