The workmen in the Lakewood plant say they have always ‘been treated well, and that when the profit- sharing plan was broached to them they were surprised because they knew they were getting top wages. “At first,” said one of the men, “w. thought there was a joker in it some- where, It wasn't until we under- stood that the company wasn't giving us anything we didn’t earn that we woke up to the proposition. Now we see that the more money the com- pany makes the more we will make, and, take it from me, we are after that little old profit.” “I never thought I'd live to see the aay" an elderly work- » “ho mi have more than our pay envelope, I found we were going to get wi 1 tho we ought to have, | Imost dropped dead.

He was so strong, so dom- inating, and before we were married he was always so kind, so consider- ate, He would wait sometimes hours for me if I was visiting my dress- maker's, “Very soon after our marriage his manner changed, It became com- manding dogmatic, It soon became clear to me that I-was only a thing apart from the rest of his life—a thing to be enjoyed when he had nothing more important of which 4 think, “He expected me to be at his call. He told me on many occasions that his commands were to be obeyed, that I must study his tastes and entirely subordinate myself to his will, He did not wish me to have any friends of my own. I was not to go out with- out his permission, or even eat my meals where I pleased, “Although himself fairly fond of display, he never bought me either clothes or jewelry. He gave me n money, i asked him on several cca sions if he would not buy me some pretty dress or some jewelry which { had seen, but he always refused, saying, ‘Why should 1? What do you want with more clothes or jewelzy? Have you not enough? “When displeased he became very violent.

I had to be attended by two doctors and two nurses, But he never made any in- quiry or sent any message to me, Eleven days later I left Paris and me to London, I have communi- cated with him since, but he has made no reply, If he had only sent some word to mo while I lay ill af- ter his blow, I could have found it in my heart to forgive him, But he was Oriental, Don't you think an American, or any European, if he lost his temper and struck his wife would show afterward that he was sorry for it; that he would go over to her or send to her and ask her to forgive him? “You ask what is my advice to any American girl who is thinking of marrying an Oriental?” summed up the Princess. “It is emphatically, ‘DON'T No less a dignitary than the de- posed Khedive of Egypt tried to play he part of peacemaker between his cousin and the cousin's lovely, if re- bellious, American wife, No use!
