courts are finished-perhaps 1t has
solve the great problem.
The problem Is:
How may one keep husband
homer"
Mrs. Meyers solution is:
Make him sign an agreement TO be-
have" That is what Mr.. Meyer has
done From this time forth It really
seems as If there will be peace in the
Meyer mansion. IL there isit, Il will
be because there isn't any efficiency
in legal documents. Mr.. Meyer has
signed one-he has written his name
down to certain promises and stipula-
tions. II he doesn't keep them, there
will be trouble surely.
Louis c. Meyer is a rich man. His
wife is an extremely handsome wo-
man. They were married some years
ago. Everything went perfectly
smoothly until there came into their
lives very attractive and altogether
good-looklng young woman-Mrs.
Kathryn Conrad Fuller Harkness-
thrice married.
The rest of II is quite long story,
but the present status of the whole
thing is that Mr.. Meyer has signed the
foregoing statement.
Document is Unique.
Was there ever another agreement
between man and wife like IL?
The Meyers have been married for
IS years. Mrs. Meyer is handsome,
40 years old and devoted to her hus-
band. They live at Broadway and
Ninety-sixth street. Mrs. Hardness
doesn't own up to nearly as many
years as 40, and she has much to COM
mend her in the way Of looks and fig
ure.
She met Mr.. Meyer something over
a year ago.
Now Mr.. Meyer, IL court records
may be believed. was somewhat sus-
ceptible. SO was Mrs. Hardness. At
any rate Mrs. Meyer called up her
husband on the telephone at his office
one fine afternoon. For a reply he
asked his wife to come to the office.
She came. There she met for the first
time Mrs. Harkness.
The police court records tell the
rest OF the story. Mrs. Harkness and
Mrs. Meyer came to what seemed real
blows. There was occasion to call a
policeman, and Mrs. Harkness was ar
rested upon Mrs. Meyers complaint
There we're bits of finery upon the
floor of the Meyer office and a few
hairpins and feathers. II it had been
Cherry Hill instead of Fifth avenue It
would have gone down on the Tender
loiD station house records as just a
plain fight. Mr.. Meyer was only a
spectator to the ARRAY.
Predatory Beauty Fined.
Mrs. Meyer seemed to have the up
per hand. because Mrs. Harkness, who
gave her name as Miss Jennette
Wynne. Of No. 119 Rue de la Paix,
Paris. was fined.
But let Mrs. Meyer tell the story as
she tells 1t now, triumphantly showing
the agreement Which makes her the
victor in this strange conflict between
man and wife:
1t was on the afternoon Of February
had not been home for ten days. l
called him up and asked the reason OF
his absence. He said IL | would come
to the Office he would explain. He
was repentant, he said, and wanted to
be forgiven. | went to the office, and
while we were talking this woman
came up.
hn In .L,A
business had with my husband. She
even had the effrontery to order me
out of the office.
After the trouble l went to the
home of Mrs. Hardness. There / met
her mother, Mrs. Keogh, and her sis
ter, Mrs. Ball.
Made Plea TO Rival.
81 went down before them on my
bended knees" said Mrs. Meyer, "and
/ begged them to prevent this woman
from running my life. But they were
deaf TO my pleas, and this woman
must have laughed at my humiliation.
But'-and the wife drew out bundle
OF crumpled documents and shook
them emphatically-"I have at last
prevailed. These letters and pagers
were found in the hotel where that
woman was with my husband. There
is quite little gush and weird poetry
in them"
Mrs. Meyer showed what she had
found. Here was one:
"A Dawn Letter, 5 A. NJ.
Darling: When meet you face to
face either act like one dumb or talk
too much. In your absence, | realize
myself, nothingness. In doing so,
know that all you give me is sweet.
Il have never asked you for any,
thing but sibilities-impossibil
ties breathe no defeat, yet to-day in
the colGness of the dawn, can say to
you that defeat is not ours.
Convey, impress. impart all that
you wish to carry--yourself.
"Digress, delay. disgust-just me.
"Play-pay-praise NIGGER"
