nand r. Earle, the artist socialist, de.
sires to marry after q divorce has been
granted his wife, who is on her way
back to France with their little son. ID
quoted In q published interview as say
ing:
II am not an interloper, have not
come between this man and his wife.
and Mrs. Earle is not a martyr This
day l would gladly give him up for
duty's sake. though he is the only man
I ever loved, If his wife would con-
sent, but she Will not. 1t was she who
urged me to try and fill the needs Of
his life. which she admitted she is un-
able to meet"
Miss Kuttner said she came over
from Europe solely for the purpose OF
affecting a reconciliation between thu
couple. She understood the Earle's
were not happily married.
She is now in retirement at the home
Of her brother.
Meantime Earle manifests a Atrong
desire to set himself right with tiG pub
lie. In a statement to the newspapers
ne explains his position, saying. his
trouble is a result of the French sys-
tenn of arranging engagements under
which the couple are married almost
without knowing each other. He hoes
not blame Mrs. Earle and says the fric-
ton which existed during their engage
ment continued after their marriage.

As IN OLD GREECE
Miss Evelyn Palmer Target Of
All Eyes on Liner---loose
Robes and Sandals.

Bar Harbor, Sept. 11,-Miss Evelyna
Palmer, daughter of Mrs. Robert Aboee,
of New York. was married here today
to Angelo ~Sikelianas, a Greek, who won
recognition in this country for his
poems and philosophical writings.
! The marriage causes interest, not
only because it's a union of an Ameri-
can girl and a Greek poet, but because
of the social prominence of tx brides
family and ner unconventional ideas as
to dress.
Possessed of an Independent fortune
Miss Palmer travelled much On her
last voyage she returned from Europe
August 1, aboard the Lorraine, and was
the most observed person in the
crowded first cabin, because her attire
was that of a Greek maid of the days
when Greece was the home Of art and
literature.
Clad in loose robes of tyrian purple,
cinctured just above the hips with a
loose belt, and wearing sandals, Miss
Palmer had to zeal the constant cur
ious scrutiny of her fellow passengers.
She told friends she had adopted the
attire because of it's comforts and her
belief it is the most h%ealthful.
