Mrs. Rich's action against her hueband was heard behind closed doors by Al- Dhonse G. Koeble. A great volume of testimony was taken, which is now sealed and in the custody of the County Clerk. ‘The referee found Rich guilty and recom- mended a divorce. An arrangement, ac- Lording to friends, provides that Rich re. Unquish the custody of his nine-year-old boy, Allen, and that he pay his wife $50 @ month until September, 1913, when alimony Is to be increased to a month, After April, 1915, Mrs. Rich ts to have permanent alimony of $125 @ month.

THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1913. | Thirteenth Article of a Series Poetry, Baseball and the New Baby’s Name Are Rocks of Discord in Sea of Wedded Bliss Matrimonial Ship Is Often Wrecked on Them, Un- less Its Crew of Two Learn and Practice With Earnest Willingness the Art of Compromi With Robert Louis Ste- venson asa Tutor. “In No Country Has Wor- ship of Woman Reached Greater Heights of Ab- surdity Than Here, and Nowhere Else Are They So Unhappy and Dissat- isfied,”’ Writes “‘J.S.” BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. “A certain sort of talent is almost indispensable for people who would But the talent, like the agreement, must be for and about life. To dwell happily together, they should be versed in the atceties of the heart and born with a faculty for willing compromise, The woman must be talented as a woman, and It will not much matter although ehe is talented in nothing else. She must know her metier de femme and have a fine touch for the affection: Here, needless to say, is a man's prescription for domestic happiness. And though Robert Louis Stevenson gave it, the formula is simply agreat artist's version of the average hus- band’s demand of matrimony, and at first glance does not seem difficult to fill. Yet, when we come to think of it, few of us are “born with a faculty ee for willing compromise.” The first compromise is indeed a much more infallible sign of age than the first gray hair. Youth, with its fine uncompromising fervors, will not meet even an archangel half way. It !s the gay outriders of every new ideal and | reform, and vothing will balt it for parley or compromise, nothing except Age. ‘The test objection to be urged @gainst early marriage is that it embarks upon the most precarious undertaking of life two beings ebsolately and oppositely convinced of many things and with the lessoR dened with the suppor: of the swarm Of compromise still unlearned. of unfit children is an amtable but Now whether or not the lesson of] shortsighted and foolish sentimental-* comproinise be a desirable one to] ist. 3.8. loarn, unto that lesson We must come] TEN.
