Mrs. Lyle, who went to the miliion- alre's home as @ nurse when he was Drostrated after the death of his first wite, took the place of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth Newcomb, housekeeper and In the end married him Bept. 9, 1910, Friction and @ feeling on the ola gentleman's part that his marriage was nobody's business but his own, together with an habitual shyness on the part of his wife prevented the relatives and the public at the time from learning details of the marriage, The relatives, with the feeling of the heirs of every rich man who takes a young and pretty wife, are said to have begun circulating stories of unfair influence by her over his ac- tions and the future disposition of his Property. thing could be more cruel,’ Mrs. Lyle said to-day, when advised by her lawyer to make a statement, “than the insinuation of any !rregularity in our Mariage. | am @ tholic, Mr. Lyle was 4 Protestant.

Lyle except for bee quests amounting to about three quar- ters of @ million dollars left to charities and to relatives regarding whom the millionaire had no prejudice as fortune- hunters. The sum of $50,00) was left to the widow outright. The home of Mr. Lyle, in which the widow now spends most of the time with her sister, ts a comfortable cottage of the style of the ‘70's, set back in a great park which is heavily weeded. Numerous farms, dotted with the homes of gar- deners and laborers, surround the park. Up to the time of his second mar- riage, Mr. Lyle was rather Inclined to be morose and unsociable, He was never seen in the village except when riding to and from trains, A great change came over him after he had married the pretty trained nurse, He Douxit a swift automobile and accom- panied by his bride went careering through Hudson County at a speed which was at once the fright and the joy of people who had known hie quiet a for years, “YOU BET I'M MARRIED,” SAID MR. LYLE. On the day after the wedding a re- porter for The Evening World called Mr. Lyle on the telephone to verify the fact. “You bet I'm married,” he chuokled ‘over the ‘phone. ‘When congratulations were tendered 3 him, he laughed long and heartily, “Thank you,” he replied, “and if you eould see her you'd know I deserved ‘Then apparently turning to eome one else near the telephone, “Now, now, that's all right. true.

HAPPINESS, Every now and then somebody remarks that there is no sueb thing as actual happiness, that all states of felicity are relative—negative, in fact; merely the condition of not being unhappy. The search for a perfectly happy man is regarded as even more visionary than the quest of the philosopher's stone, the foun- tain of youth or the secret of per- petual motion, I think the last per- son who assured me with great post- tiveness that nobody is really happy was Thomas A, Edison. In view of this widespread unbe- Hef in the possibility of permanent tives from seeing hin, elther happiness, the discovery of two self-confessed happy husbands is no trivial thing. They exist! They have admitted the crime! One lives in St. Louts, giving their formula of happinet It will be noted that both these chronte optimists aro married and both attribute their prolonged felicity to that fact alone. Also no bachelor, old or Youngs has a:mitted @ similar satisfaction with Ufe, So far the letters of the celibates of both sexes have expressed only & grim sort of resignation, a cynical ve-| happiness is based upon what HOW TO BE HAPPY EVEN IF YOU BE MARRIED. Dear Madam. ! am thirty-six years by elther death or division I will in all probability get another. I don't find being married nearly 80 unde- sirable as many would like to make {t appear. I am a poor man, my gether, except that we each go to & distinctly man's club or women's meeting often enough to break the monotony.

I have often expressed myself to my wife in this manner: ‘Bo long an I have a dollar, we have one or you have one, just be as much ‘with me’ it luck should break bad.’ Such @ pol- fey, coupled with » realization that twenty-five-cent cigare and three- dollar ladies’ hoslery along with many other things are out of reason for us, will do much to keep one happy. We live at home and not on the streets, and we don't try to bluff the public into thinking that our income ts any greater than it really is HARLEMITE, TWO OF THE SECRETS OF MAR- RIED HAPPINE: Certainly this Harlem husband has found two of the oecrets of married happiness—the art of living at home in- gtead of on the street and for himself inetead of for the public eye. When one ras learned not to live in houses or apartments one cannot afford; not to pay $60 for a sult or $¥ for a hat merely because @ Wealthy pawnbroker's wife can afford such an outlay; when one has realized that ft is not so much the high cont of living as the high cost of bluft- ing that keeps s0 many of us poor, the first formula of happiness has been ac- quired, After all, #0 is so much cheaper as well as infinitely more satis- factory to live for one's self than for the neighbors, in one’s home iusteed of in Broadway restau- often thought that the reason oo many yersons the other in New York, and both have written to The Evening World, can't find happiness is becnuse it ie so cheap.

And now here is what “glorious wom- anhood” has to sny about mankind, as tudicated by the letters of two women readers of The Evening World. Both writers emphasize the necessity and the rarity of respect as an element in man's love for woman: LACK OF RESPECT ON PART OF HUSBANDS, Dear Madam: The trouble with unhappy marriages is that @o many husbands do not respect thelr wives. They will ait hours listening to some foolish woman talk, but would not give two cents for their wives’ ad- vice no matter how good It may be. A man thinks only of his wife as a Person who makes him pay bills wouldn't have to pay If he were single, I always wonder why men respect mothers, sisters, women ac- quaintances, strange women, in fact everybody but th own wives, They don't even get married with th Cy that they must respect a woman's views, her rights as wife and mother.
