Why Is the chauffeur who martiés @ rich woman such ® euccess a9 a lover and—apparently—such @ failure as a hasband? ‘The questions are euggested by the sult for dfvorce just brought in Jersey City by Mrs. Elizabeth Coppell Connors against Robert Dougins Connors, who was the family chauffeur when, in 1914, she defied her father, @ wealthy railroad builder, and cloped. According to the testimony of Mra, Connors and others, the chauffeur-bridegroom allowed his wife to set him up in dusiness and accepted her financial assistance. Yet, after his return from the war, his wife says, his affection for a young milliner, Miss Helen May Oak- » Yeached the point where he her invited to become a part the Connors menage, Not un- turally, Mrs, Connors objected and Present suit is the result, Ac- ing to the husband's testimony, © was only a friend to Miss Oakley en administrator of her mother’s He also said his wife had told not to bring his friends to the because her social position was superior to his. ‘Whatever the ultimate disposition ‘ef this particular case, it is obvious it Cupid, the Mttle god behind the hine in the chauffeur romances, suffering from a very black eye. And Cupid seems to take a risk jwhich even Lioyd’s would consider juncommonly sporting, whenever he lengineers a romance between a rich ‘woman and some young Lochinvar of |the automobile world, There was the affair to which eo many of the romantic believers of love in a cottage “pointed with pride” for years, the romantic elopement of Julia French, daughter of Amos Tuck French and niece of Mrs. Elsie French Vanderbilt Fits Simons, with “Hamisome Jack” Geraghty, chauf- feur and son of a Newport hack driver.

Last December she obtained a divarce in Newport, on alleged failure to provide, and re- turned to the family whose efforts to Prevent her marriage. she had de- rided. Another case of a rich-girl-chauf- feur romance which ended in a smash-up was that of Margaret Leavitt, deughter of Howland Leavitt, @ miilionaire banker well known in New York, who eloped with her chauffeur, Joseph F, Smolien. He was known as the “Candy Kid” be- cause of his good looks. After living with her husband for a few weeks in a New York apartment Mra. Smolien suddenly left him, She went to Europe but returned shortly and died six months after her marriage. Smol- Jen was not even mentioned in her wi ‘When she was only elghteen, be- fore her debut, pretty Miss Olga ‘Ever- ard, daughter of the late James Ever. ard, tho millionaire brewer, eloped with William Willams, ten years older than herself and her father's chauffeur. When their little daughter Natalie was two years old Mra. Wyl- Hams sued for and obtained a divorce in Brooklyn, charging that her hus- band had been guilty of indiscretions with Miss Deane Woodruff at Atlantic City. Just after the decree was made final, Mra. Williams became the wife of the actor, Robert Hilliard, Miss Jeanette Suffern, descendant of one of the oldest families in the Ramapo Valley, and worth several hundred thouand dollars, had equally bad luck eloping with a chauffeur and with his hostler brother, She mar- ried the latter first, when she was sixty-four—his name was Robert His- cock, and he was twenty-eight He deserted her after a few days, and she said she had found that he was already married. She married his brother, “Chauffeur Frank” Hiscock, in Greenwich, Conn., and soon avowed ‘her intention of divorcing him, after @ Mrs, Jennie Quackenbush threatened to sue her for alienation of affections, Perhaps the explanation of all these mishaps is simply that it is quite as hard for a poor young man tolive up— or down—to @ rich girl, as for her to live down—or wp—to him.

AYOR WALKER, of Delhi, has made a resolution never to ac- cept a gift in public, no matter q what the occasion be. He reached this H.C. of L. determination Monday evening at Hugus Hall, after being presented with what was called “a token of esteem” by a man known to be a [cm Moore. staunch anti-Watker Democrat. The Mayor regarded the gift as an insult and believes an effort was made te ingure him in his race for re-election, Incidentally, Job Hopkins, who made the speech of presentation, was ar- rested and will have to answer to a of malicious mischief next week, The incident ocourred during a meeting of the Keep Liquor Out of the Home Association, of which Mrs. Elisha Q.

Mayor Walker was called on for a speech and he made one in which he con- demned liquor roundly, referring to it as “a curse that has never touched At the conclusion of his “Present, sir!” replied the officer, who was six rows back, “Arrest thet man!” Constable Brown flew at Hopkins.

Nervousness is the greatest menace to womanly beauty and when this condition is allowed to develop into neurasthenia, hysterla, neuritis and other serious forms of this disease without being checked, it is Hable to wreck one’s personal beauty beyond repair. Happily, this 4s the best time of the year for any sufferer to begin to build up her health, because the beautiful warm spring days are so alluring that it is almost impossible to remain indoors, and fresh air is the most essential thing conducive to health. For disturbed nerves long walks are far better than drives, because if you are not weak you may walk briskly and stimulate your breathing capacity. Fill your lungs with fresh air and oxygen at every little appor- tunity and you will see a decided unprovement in your complexion as wal as your nerves and genera! ‘th. Learn to cultivate deep abdominal breathing through the nostrils, One can always tell the shallow breather after acquiring the habit of proper breath control. Imagine you are in a garden filled with rare flowers and drink in their delicious odors until you seam to feel this fragrant air fairly touch your toes. Do this at any convenient time and it will be- come a habit before you realize it. ‘Try deep breathing for insomnia, indigestion and other common dis- orders, as ‘well as for Geauty, and you will be more than gratified at the xemulla you etlals, Except W.

When the barbers walked out they left thousands of mugs hanging on the walls and thousands more waiting to be shaved. And while they stay out the shaving cream is getting sour and the bay rum accumulates strength for beverage purposes. The boss barbers are shampooing their atomachs with bay ram and getting ready to fight ‘back. ‘The barbs figure as long as they MAY If the Strikers Wir It Means a Dollar Hairew' Haircut Isn't Worth a Dollar to Any Man 22, a) J.

There's only one place in Manhattan where shavings are being performed as usual, and that’s at a Broadway theatre. ‘The strike-breaking barbers have drawn first blood. It's only a ques~ tion now whether the public wants to be bled by the strike-breaking barbs or by the union guys and their new scale of prices. Meanwhile union headquarters re- ports progréss. Every wight the manicures are going out in sympa-, thy with their customers. Strike headquarters for the mannies have been established in all the gilded restaurants. The manicures are striking for more meals and shorter nails. ‘The barber poles still rotate proud- ly in the sun, but the boys won't rally to the colors.
