WILL SHE MOVE SOUTH?
Mrs. Potter Palmer Creates Real

South Side Property

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, June 3O.-Which will be,
Michigan boulevard or the axe Shore
drive?
Mrs. Potter Palmer has bought a
magnificent old .ome on the corner of
Michigan boulevarC and Eighteenth
street, and it is said that she is going
to turn it into a palace.
You can tell North Side real estate
agent from a South Side mar of the
same trade any hour of the day since
Mrs. Palmer bought that house, by the
frown on the face of the North Slider
and the smile that won't come off the
countenance of the South Slider.
Mrs. Potter 'almer is Chicago's social
leader and if she should take her pearls
and her sixteen stalwart footmen and
move them from her North Side palace
over to the So-.th Side. lots OF. the Lake
Shore drive would go down the day she
moved.
Mrs. Palmer's north shore palace has
been the scene of the most brilliant en-
tertanments ever given in Chicago.
1t is a great. rambling house that
looks as if it ought to be the villa of a
prince of the blood at the cry least.
There's a wonderful art gallery in it,
full of magnificent pictures and the
Conservatives are so large that Mrs.
Palmer's gardener thinks nothing of
picking 100 American beauties a day in
the season.

When He Calls Out Hymn

WASHINGTON Pa, June 30.-The
Rev, DR.. Henry Woods, the venerable
dean of the faculty of Washington and
Jefferson college, yesterday had so
forcibly demonstrated to him the popu-
lar meaning of the numerals "23' that
he will probably never forget them.
Dr. Woods, who has for years con-
Quoted chapel exercises at the institu-
tion, yesterday morning advanced TO
the front of the stage and, with hymn
book in hand, announced to the $50
students "Twenty-three."
Outbursts of laughter from the stu
dents greeted this announcement. The
professor, not seeing any cause for
levity and believing that some mistake
had been made. awaited until qluet had
teen restored, and then in a clearer and
louder voice again announced 'Twenty-
three"
"Skidoo for you," came from all
parts of the room. mingled with unre-
pressed laughter
Mystified and embarrassed, the pro-
fessor retreated. to his chair, while the
chapel pianist struck up the opening
notes of hymn No. 23.

Clses was Informed of the popuiar sig

instance is one of the most common.
Neither the girl nor her parents
spend any time investigating the young
mans character. If he is even pass
able the girl takes him. He may have
served a penitentiary term, he may be
a drunkard a spendthrift and gam
bier, but he is a man, and that is enough.
"They get married and it is not long
before the girls friends and relatives
convince her that she is too young to
spend the rest of her life with brute
and she can marry some other good
young man. So instead of trying to
make a home. she gives up gets
divorce and that is the end of it.
1.-The last class is the most amusing.
1t is composed of young people who
are not congenial.
One Class Is Amusing
For instance, a young man calls on a
girl She sees him in his best clothes,
with his face and hands well cleaned
and his finger nails in at least semi
respectable condition. She is always
expecting him and naturally is 'prettied
up for the occasion.
"They set married and then the trou-
BILE begins The first thing to shock the
young husband is to detect an after
odor when his wife has partaken of
her favorte fruit onions. That is bad
enough until she meets him at the door
some evening with her lovely hair
either combed back to a knot or done
up in curl papers.
THAT is enough for him. He has
been deceived and he wants vengeance,
and instead of getting used to a little
wife whose fingers more often bear
the odor of butter than of cologne he
becomes sullen and there is trouble.
"Then, as for the wife, she also has
been deceived. Her husband does not
manicure his nails. She greets him on
the first days return from work and
she is heartbroken. He is, to say the
least, not clean. Probably he works in
a machine shop. At any rate she sees
a greasy, filthy fellow, dressed princi-
pally in an undershirt and a pair of
overalls, and she shrinlls back in terror
when he kisses a big spot of grease
from his face to hers.
"These are the troubles of the young,
and the young alone can remedy them
by practicing a little common sense"

It's best brand of baseball on Sundays
that the attendance at the church
waned.
Father Theodore Waring. who is an
athlete and lover of baseball, held a
conference with the baseball manage
ment, at which Father Waring agreed
to begin his service an hour earlier and
the baseball managers agreed to start
the game a half hour later.
This gave the churchgoers ample
time to get from the church to the ball

working satisfactorily and has resulted
in the attendance at both church and

LOCAL AUTHOR
SCORES SUCCESS
WILLIS GEORGE EMERSON'S
BOOK APPEARS
One of Los Angeles Busiest Men Finds
Time to Write Stirring Novel
of Real People of the
West

Willis George Emerson, one of the
busiest and most successful of Los
Angeles real estate men, has again
found time in all the rush of his usual
vocation to take up his pen and give
the world the benefit of his imagina-
tion, his skill and his experience. The
result is fine novel, THE Builders"
which will undoubtedly become as
popular with the public as did his first
one. Buell. Hampton" which is in it's
one hundred and tenth thousand and
still selling. The new book is just from
the press of Forbes e. Co., advance
copies having come for some of the
authors friends.
THE Builders" is a story. of western
life, thrilling and virile. The motif is
the discovery of gold mine and the
story of the working of it. The heroine
who assists in the discovery is nat
urally the center of the love interest,
and a fetching tale of loves conquest
results incidentally the story treats
also of a boom town and its promoters
so vivid that one feels instnctively
that Mr. Emerson there writes from
personal experience.
Wins Highest Praise
1.-The Builders" has been passed upon
by no less a critic than Ftz-James
MacCarthy (Fitz-Mac), prominent as
a newspaper correspondent from one
end of the country to the other. Mr..
MacCarthy was visiting three days ago
in Los Angeles when the advance copy
of THE Builders" was received. He
read the story and this is what he
says:

MANY YOUNG COUPLES SEEK
SEPARATIONS
Attorney Believes Common Sense
Practiced by Husband and Wife
Will Prevent Unhappy Out
come of Marriages

While sad little Cupid held miserable
watch from the tower of the court
house last month, and. Janus like, kept
one eye on the marriage license office
and another on the divorce courts, a
strange and peculiar cycle of events
met the little fellows gaze.
For June, the month of weddings,
when all people are supposed to marry
and be happy and when all girls who
have beauX begin to hint about what
good houSekeepers they are, met with
a serious setback this year owing to
the fact that the divorce court worked
overtime and sixty or more couples
were separated.
incidentally there were about 800
marriage licenses issued during the
month, but the attention of the court
house officials was attracted more
towards the separation courts than to
the bureau of happiness, and little
Cupid wept.
In nearly every case in the divorce
courts the people were young people,
who had hardly experienced enough of
the joys of married life to really de-
eide whether they liked to be mar
ried or not.
Divorces Are Growing
The record for the past year has been
singular one ana the percentage Oh
elderly people to be divorced is rapidly
decreasing, while the separation of
young married couples is increasing at
an alarming rate.
In most cases in divorce courts where
young people are concerned, the case is
generally one of desertion, but behind
that charge offered for the decision
of the court there lies almost invariably
a history of war and strife in the house
hold
Probably the best informed man In
Los Angeles, where the settlement of
the troubles of unhappy young people
is concerned, is Attorney Paul E.
USHER. Yesterday Mr. Ussher made
the following statement to The Herald
regarding the causes of the many di-
vorces among recently married couples:
For the past year the divorce cases
where young people are concerned have
been increasing rapidly" said MIR,
usher,
There are causes so innumerable
that ii would be folly to try to speak
of even half of them. The use of liquor
by one or the other of the contracting
parties is TO blame in many cases but
the fact that the man and woman are
