down to the station at Monroe early to-
day and took train for New York.
After spending few hours with Victor

ranging final details for her departure on
the Holland-American Line steamer Ryn-
dam tomorrow. Mrs. Earle went back to

roof at Monroe.
When Mrs. Earle drove down from the

No TinEe of Sadness.
From what Mr.. Earle and his wife had
to say when first seen by a reporter Mon
day night, it appears shat to-morrow's
parting at the dock win have 10 tinge
Of sadness At least Mr.. Earle said
that they were all to part good friends.
and his wife assented 20 his statement
The departure OF Mrs. Earle and her son
for the home of Mrs. Earle's father in
Paris seems. in the eyes Of the principals,
to be but the natural initial incident in
the pact OF mutual understanding between
the artist. his wife and the woman he is
going to marry when freed by divorce.
Mrs Earle is credited with having re-
ferred to the incident Of her departure
as "a happy little party at the pier"
To-day the artist who claims to have
worked out his own scheme of happiness
and TO have induced his wife to subscribe
to It, even TO the extent of freeing him
for a union with one whom he believes
to be his affinity, allowed interviewers
to copy the poem upon which he has
been working for two years.
Represents LOftiest Views.
The poem, he said, represented his Iof-
test views on the subject OF divinity
predesuned marriage. The verses Mr..
Earle gave out for publication follow:
Loves purest spring Is memories gratitude,
From the first kiss OF April in the blood
From the last tear upon its seabo-n food
From out the spirits icebound altitude.
On from the bosoms deep beautitude
Uprising like the water lily bud;
Foam white. though nurst in common clay snd
- mud,
The river Of true marriage is renewed.
It's countless hrookIets rise as IN dream,
And flow beyond the heights Of youth.
Some driven in mighty tumult BY strange passion:
Some led through winding taiTylsnd.
Fondly each dream ceaFes to its own inevitable bed
Until the last sweet drop is sucked to heaven.
Concealed Identity Of Woman.
Considerable speculation was INDUCED
in to-day by friends of the Earies as to
the identity Of the woman who has been
living in the artists home for the past
week or ten days and whom he is to mar
ry eventually. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Earle
refused to divulge her name. a report
from Bethlehem, Pa, where Mr.. Earle
said his future wife hailed from, said that
no woman by ths name assigned by some
parties 30 the unknown third individual In
the marriage compact was known there.
