felicity
felicity

Much interest is being displayed in
naval circles over the institution OF d.
vorce proceedings for the second time
by Surgeon George H Barber
The marriage had been regarded as
an unhappy one. and the first Suit in
sritlred by Dr. Barber created q sensa-
ton IN the navy. II IS apparent that
the sympalhie Of most army and navy
men are with the surgeon This seems
10 be more OF less due 10 the fact that
Mrs Barber in her defense in Tire first
suit named Miss Walker, q daughter OF
Admiral Walker.
Both Miss Walker and Dr. Barber,
who IS a wealthy man. have always
been popular in the navy set

try again. There is a remarkable case
Of this kind now in the public eye.
So, the question remaining open, let
us give the latest foreign solution, the
product of Hughes lie Roux, who has
seen Americans at home as well as IN
Paris cafes, and who has a reputation
for describing things as they are IN
many lands. This Frenchman finds the
American father ambitious and demo
cratic" the American daughter IAN
aristocrat without a court, q goddess
without an Olympus, an exquisite
without an atmosphere 10 realize her
ideals"
And what is her ideal of a husband
'In the first place, it is a man of
leisure, such as is created by the old
civilization, a man who has time to
do her bidding, to listen to her, to
answer her, to understand her. 1t Is
n man who brings with him an at
mosphere of ancient glory before which
mere commercial success pales as does
the moon before the SUM-" In short, her
special education at home and abroad
has given the American heiress "a ma
ture which thirsts 5or things unobtain-
able in America" and among these
things is husband.
All of which is plausible so far as
it goes. But it doesn't prove that the
American girl who marries a foreign
nobleman realizes her ideal. In other
words, NJ. lie Roux offers us only some
social and philosophical generalities.
lie guarantees that the foreign noble
man can appear at ease at dinner,
though not in his shirtsleeves; that,
like Emerson's gentleman, the count or
the duke makes no noise though en-
joying his soup.
But q man cGn smile and talk like
velvet and quote the sages and the
poets and hold a wrap right end up and
yet fail to measure up to the ideal.
Otherwise all these hands-across-the-
sea unions would be happy ones. Other
wise, all our rich girls would look
abroad for a husband
NJ lie Roux says the American ia
Their is ambitious and democratic"
The daughter, maybe. would like a
change. If the Frenchman had follow
ed this trail he might have struck oil.

BOOZE THEORY EXPLODED,
DELEGATES DRINK FREELY

The idea that you cannot put away rs
much booze fl Denver as you can on
the Bowery has been pretty well ex-
ploded, judging BY the way the bars
are doing business. Nine out Of ten
visitors came here filed with this no
ton. and for a day or two trade was
little slack.
The experimental stage did not last
long, however, and the early birds are
now telling the later arrivals that their
fears were grOundless. with the result
that there has been a rush 20 the bars
Some OF the enthusiastic ones are now
telling their friends that the climate
here has increased their consuming
capacity.
