Whatever the cause, the girl who Marries an artist takes what the in- surance companies describe as “a poor risk,” if we may judge from the ‘utcome of a number of such unions @@ revealed to the public. The most fecent instance is the suit for Separation just brought against Pierre Tartoue, noted painter, by his wif of a year, Mrs. Claudia Windsor ‘Tartoue. She has left the beautiful studio ‘apartment at No. 200 West 57th Street, where their marriage took place in October, 1919. Mr, Tartoue At that time said he had fallen des- perately In love with her when he saw her at a ball Where she served as one of the society girl hostesses. She is the wealthy young duughter of the late Alvo Windsor, Australian mine owner and millionaire, and came to New York from California. Mr. Tartoue did a pastel sketch of a portrait of her and declared that she ‘was “the most perfect type of Amer- sdcan beauty.” They became engaged after the ftiret Mre. Tartoue pdegun her suit for wivorce, for “The Goddess of Happl- nees”—one of Mr. Tartoue's best known paintings—did not preside over this union, either. The first wife was Miss Alma _ Dodworth, daughter of T. George Dodworth of this city, who married the artist in 1913. She obtained a final decree of divorce in Maine on the grounds of cruel and abusive treatment a few ‘weeks before the marriage of Tar- toue and Miss Windsor. The second union has lasted even a shorter time than the first. Then there were the much ad- Yertised difficulties of Howard Chan@ler Christy, illustrator, and his tirst wife, born Maybelle Thompson. ‘This marriage apparently began un- der the happiest auspices ani the Beautiful bride served as her hus- band’s model for the first "Christy @irl” But then came difficulties, In 1909 the former Mrs. Christy, spend- ing @ lonely Thankagiving in the New York home of her mother “while her husband and their daugh- Yer Nathalie were ‘living in Zanes ville, O, spoke to me with frank- freas and emotion about her matri- monial troubles. “| know that my husband would geek a reconciliation if only it were WANT A FE?

Later, there was a suit in Ohio, with allegations from Mr, Christy that his wife's family interfared toa much with his domestic affairs and that he desired to pursue his art in quiet Zanesville, while she ,referred New York. Her counter aliegutions dealt with bis fondness for conviv- julity and fo. Christian Sotence. In a letter’ made public, she wrote: “I annoy you and you are miserable with me, so why not end our rela- tionship ‘with some of the sweetness with which we began it? 1 am tired, tired of neglect, thred of living with- out love and care.” There were various rumors of re- conciliation, and at least one suit for divorce Was brought and then with- drawn, but a,year ago last spring came a final legal severance, . Both have since remarried.

At once he took her as his model, declaring that she was more beauti- ful than the Venus de Milo, and that with her for inspiration be would create the perfect American beauty. They were happy together for three years, according to the testimony of Mrs. Hutt when she procured her di- Vorce eight years ago in Reno for desertion, drunkenness and cruelty.

BY SOPHIE IRENE LOEB e an | Yjeottt’S I EEDED? 191. by the Frew Publishing Co, ND now the Yuletide is over and we are back again to our daily problems and pleasures, During the holidays there were sTeat appeals for this, that and the other things —Christmas dinners, children’s parties, crippled soldiers, and all such worthy activities as give cheer in the one big universal event of the year. But while we are having our par- ties and looking over our gifts and enjoying our festivities, in other lands there is now great suffering and sadness. Never mind the men and women. There are 3,500,000 children in Central and Eastern Wurope de- pendent this winter on the Eu- ropean Relief Council for food and medical care, It will take $33,000,- 000 to tide them over this winter, to keep them alive until the next har- vest There are 3,000 kitchens and about 10,000 reliof stations already established throughout these coun- tries — Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary, Poland—to supply the needs of these youngsters, but the funds to keep them going will be exhausted In January. The question has been asked, why we should not give our attention to our own children. We do, As President of the Boerd of Child Welfare of this city I can say that we are keeping together in their own homes 20,000 children and (The New York Brening World.) 6,000 mothers, The city has ap- Propriated for this purpose over $3,000,000 for next year. And they will be cared for—these very needy children. But when you think of the chil- dren over there, with nothing at all, although there is more to be done here, it would seem that some of our money and our interests should 8o there, As far as organization goes, the countries themselves could carry on, But what they cannot get without America’s aid is the actual food and medical supplies. Every dollar contributed in this country goes directly to buy these. All overhead charges, such as trans- portation, distribution, &c,, are sup- ported by the countries themselves. They contribute $2 for every one do- nated here. The workers too are almost all native—America sends just enough workers to supervise the Mstribution of the food, to see that it goes to the most needy areas and that no child is discriminated against on account of race or re- ligton. So efficient is the organization of this relief work that a dollar will supply a child with a solid meal a day for a month. As most of them live on this meal, that dollar practi- cally keeps them alive, In other words $8 will support a child until next harvest-—-which in as long as Mr. Hoover estimates they will need help.

As regards their need of medical help So appalling is the undernourish- ment of these children that it has stunted their growth and distorted their limbs, It is impossible to tell by glancing at these children just what their age is, Some eight years old are as yet unable to walk. Boys of fifteen are no bigger than the normal size of ten. Disease, of coarse, has spread alarmingly. There is an increase of 82 per cent. in tuberculosis.
