Irvine objected to his wife bathing
lin the lake He says it was because
| her bathing suit was two sizes too
fsrlall and that she goes in only to
fsk ow her shape, but that won't hold
water, because there are thousands of
very respectable looking bathing suits
TO choose from at the lake. But Mr..
Irvine, he went into the lake arrayed
in a bathing suit of magnificent splen-
dor beside which Joseph's coat of many
colors was as nothing, for that is the
characteristic Of the man. Yes, he went
Into the lake and fioated the ladies

land looked on. He would not allow her
to go in bathing. No wonder her eyes
filed with tears. There is nothing
wrong, nothing suspicious whatever in
her taking a boat ride with Montgom-
cry. Does any one mean to say that q
woman is to be a mental slave and
compelled to do the bidding of her hus-
band in every whim2 No. That age
age has gone down 10 the limbo of
oblivion. Mrs. Irvine had a perfect
right to go boat riding. and as much
right to go into the lake as her hus-
band had to disport himself il all the
magnificence of his gorgeous bathing
suit"
Montgomery was MN nearly
twice the age of Mrs Irvine. He was
man of kindly heart and wished to
do Mrs. Irvine q kindness He must
have thought Irvine one of the mean
est men God had ever made and if he
did so he was quite right. Irvine
never even had the decency to escort
his wife to her meals when they
boarded at a restaurant and there she
met Montgomery as casual acqua1nt-
anee and there IS no suspicion or
shadow of wrong connected with it..

abortion which Irvine compelled her

My brother Dickson asserted that

This man Irvine has a capacity for
acting for which he will never get full
credit in this world. He pretended TO
be so sorry when his wife left for the
east. He accompanied them to the de-
pot, waved his adieu and flooded the
platform With tears, for he has a "a
