New York, Sept 5.--The unconven-
tional Ferdinand Pinney Earle saw the
wife Of former days depart on the Hol.
land American steamship Ryndam for
France at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
with their 2year-old baby boy Harold.
AS the big ship faded into mere blot
on the distant horizon Of the river it
was borne in on Mr.. Earle that perhaps
he might never see bis wife and baby
boy again. He had been gay all morn
ling and laughingly parted the questions

ed him, but at the pier, some Of them
coming unexpectedly back encountered
him stealing along In the lee Of the
steamship Potsdam as II trying to ess
cape observation. His eyes were red
evidence that lie HAD been weeping.
1t was an odd journey that in the rain
from the Erie station at Jersey City,
where the train arrived at 10;40 o'clock.
Man and wife walked side BY side to the
covered way where the carriages were
drawn up in line, but they found that
they could not hire any, as they were
told that all had been engaged Tnea
Earle helped the little woman aboard
a street car, and after much transferring
and standing in the rain on street
corners the party arrived safely at
Hoboken.
Those who had never before caught n
glimpse of Mrs. Earle saw a very slim
young woman with schoolgirl figure,
dressed In mouse gray suit, little
straw hat and a long brown automobile
We. which hid her sunny hair and her
delicate profile. She was not exactly
pretty, but a winsome little thing whose
chief feature was her large eyes. She
spoke with decided French accent.
Earle, who led the way with bis six
feet Of height standing prominently up
| from among those who followed him.
wore low brown SLOUGH hat, tan sa0es
and a gray suit. He carried a heavy
box In one hand and parcel in the
other enyeloped In steamer shawl.
He also carried number OF umbrellas,
which he distributed TO bis interviewers
when they stood on the corner at Pa.
yonia avenue in the rain waiting for a
car.

"For two years" said Eerle, q have
been working on a poem of seven con.
nectcd sonuets explaining my views on
marriage. "IIere Is the fourth;
O, new. born baby boy, the midnight sky
Was wet with shining tears because Of
thee,
Now joyous music moves upon the
sea
And morning dries each tear drop. With
sigh
The weary world, tho walked not by thy
cry
Triumphant, dreams of heavenly
Jubilee
And newborn, stars Loves age-old
mystery,
The self miracle we glorify,
Sharing thy triumphant mothers
sweet alarml,
Dim chanting angels bend to hear
thy breath
Blessed incarnations of her virginia. love
And crowd about the Father, bowed
above
Thee, ioy-bon infant, snatched BY
eager arms,
From stormy tide that flow 'twixt
life and death.
And acre Is another part Of the
Loves Pgrest spring is memory's graft
From the first kiss Of April in the
blood,
From the last tear upon its sea-borq
flood,
From out the spirits ice abound altitude,
On from the bosoms deep heatitude,
| Uprising like the water lily bud,
Foam white though hurst in common
clay and mud,
The river Of true marriage is renewed
Its countless brooklets rise as in a
dream
and flow beyond the heights Of youth
Some driven ia mighty tunuIt by
strange passion,
Some lei through winding fairylanI,
\ Fondly each dream cleayes to its own
inevitable bed
Until the last sweet drop Is sucked TO
heagen.
When Mrs. Earle sailed Earle saw
her off, His affinity was not in the
party.
