ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. "a
When Mrs. Minnie Root was mar

and obey" her husband, Frank. But
that was not enough for him. He

VOWS she has tried to obey them.
But she declares, too, he has
broken all the commandments that

one hundred eyes upon a man be-
fore thou marriest him, but thou
shalt wear binders after mar
rjage.
"Third-Thou shalt accept thy
husband as he Is, and add not to
him nor take away from him thine
vain imaginings, for behold, the
man thou did marry Is a good fell
low and the one thou dreamest Of
Toes not exist.
"Fourth-Thou shalt beat upon
he cymbals and proclaim thy hus-
band Master
1t is whispered that the other
njunctions In this marital
lecalogue are:
"Fifth-Thou shalt not covet thy

diamond earrings, nor her sable
Goat, nor her silk stockings, nor
her complexion, nor her husband,
hor anything which Is thy neigh

much use for a chorus man, except
as a setting for the pretty chorus
girl.
1t was dashing Blanche Ring
who used the hook of the chorus
men of her company, at the Alvin

Montmorency Blythe, clumsily
tripped on his name, or on n

down Miss Gypsy Mooney, his
dancing partner. and his awkward
ness so Disguised Miss Ring that
she discharged every man in the
chorus.
Girls-pretty, smiling and win
some girls-will take the places of
the discharged men. Miss Ring
emphatically declares that the
stage is no place for men who
want to stay in the chorus; most
of them are either sissyfied or
longshoremen. They are awkward
and they look foolish"
