At Niagara falls there had been a

Chicago, April 12.-"For the last two
years l have studied-have watched and
followed things that I believe every
man should watch and study. I have
followed the signs of the zodiac. If
all men would do that we would be
broad in thought, see things as they
really are, and be happy"
In these words Carl Wunderle, the
violinist, to whom Paul Handke, trum-
peter in the Thomas orchestra, surrend.

of the prescriptions for enjoying com.
plete happiness and finding his soul
mate In a long interview Wunderle
discussed the romance of himself and
Mrs. Handke which eliminated in the
announcement by Handke that he had
renowned his wife to Wunderle be-
cause she loved the latter better.
Gretchen, the 6-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Handke, played on the floor of
the violinist s feet during the talk and
called him "pap." Mrs. Handke was
not present.
