ernesses 60 with them from Mr..
Goulds house back to Mrs.
Gould's house. But what are the little
Misses Gould going to think of this in
a few years from now?
The law gives Mrs. Frank Gould the
right to marry again If she so desires.
She is a very beautiful woman and
still young and full of charm.
The law says that Frank J. Could
may not marry in the state of New
York, but he may take chances and
go to another state to marry again
and then bring his second wife into
New York. Hundreds of rich men
have used this method to avoid con-
tempt Of court. Frank J. Gould is
young, rather good looking, possessed
Of wealth, fine mansions, a yacht, a,l-
tomobiles things to attract wife
In his own class and to make a Sec
ond courtship easy and effective.
Suppose that Mrs. Gould marries
again? The Misses Dorothy and Helen
Margaret will have one mother and
two fathers. Suppose that very soon
afterward Frank ]. Gould marries.
Then they will have two fathers and
two mothers.
II they were permitted to remain
the year round with their mother the
matter would be comparatively sim.

cept the second father as family
figure. But If they swing like human
pendu]ums from one household to the
other, with one father on Park avenue
and another on Fifth avenue, what
chance will their little brains have of
adjusting themselves to the situation? :?

Mr.. Hartman was a doomed man
even when he attended the funeral

physical breakdown that foretold the
end had begun long before that, but.
as in the case Of Mr.. Rogers, he ig-

Rogers to keep his place as one Of the

actual head Of this great enterprise.
and to mark time on every detail Of
its multitudinous affairs.

His pluck was shown on the day of
landing as, just before he went down

back the weight I have lost at those

Then he refused aid to walk to the
pier, where he nearly collapsed as a
result.
Mr.. Rogers died of apoplexy after
an illness of less than two hours. AS
matter Of fact, he had sustained a
previous stroke Of apoplexy and knew
that an unusual mental strain might
prove fatal to him.
But he continued ut his office every
day-was there, in fact, only two days
before his death, and he maintained
up to the last his place at the helm
