Cooke, formerly pastor of st. George
church, Hampstead, l.. L., in an in
terview published in the Examiner as
sumed the name of Floretua W. Bal
com, the name now taken by Cooke
says:
MY life since leaving Hampstead
has been happy. l feel that l am
as truly married to Mr.. Balcom as
though the ceremony had been per-
formed before an altar and by seven
bishops. If | had not loved Mr..
Balcom l would not have come west
with him, and regard myself just as
truly bound to him as though the
church had sanctioned our union. God
has surely joined us and no human
agency shall put us asunGer. If Mrs.
Cooke ever obtains divorce, we will
be married before the law
Il have no resentment against Mrs.
Cooke. She is only the woman who
married my husband before l did.
She was an obstacle in our way and
we mad to get around her. We have
done so, and the only thing we could
now ask of her is that she should
make it possible for us to be married
and take our place in the wrold as
We would like to do"
Il naturally grew to love Mr.. Bal
com. l have known him since 1 was
twelve years of age Everybody in
the parish liked him and l liked him
more tnan the others. Then l loved
him, and | knew he loved me. Three
years ago we decided to come away
and began saving money to do So.
l was not eighteen years Of age and
we waited waited until mat time.
"The world has not treated me bad
ly since | came away. l am happier
as am than would be if were back
home, and l do not regret coming.
''Mr. Balcom was never my legal
guardian. 4Heywas my spiritual ad-
wiser and rector and nothing more in
that capacity. Since l left Hemp
stead he-l1as been able TO support me
adequately. While we have not liv-
ed in luxury, we have Deen comfort
able and Mr.. Balcom has had no trou-
BILE in making good living for the
baby and me-"
Mrs. Balcom, as she styles herself,
says there is no truth in the stories
that they had hard time making d
living. Balcom, she says, is an ex-
pert workman and makes $3.50 day
She says that when her estate is set
tied she will have between 100000
