There are several attractive items Of
business for consideration at the meet,
ing OF the commercial club to be held
tonight. B. F. Mackall, chairman of
a special committee on city parks, will
submit an exhaustive report which will
supply ample food for thought and

be the one Of the employment of a

probably the securing Of club offices

BARRIE WANTS HIS
Wife BACK AGAIN
OFFERS FORMER SPOUSE 100000
AND TRIP AROUND WORLD
AS AN INDICTMENT.

London. Oct. 26.-Having divorced
his wife. ]. M. Barrie, with the within
sicality often displayed in his stage
creatures. wants her back again.
He does not want to marry Pauline
Chase, his beautiful young ward, he
has declared. For her he feels only a
purely paternal affection.
He does not care for any unrelated
woman except In a distant, friendly
way.
He wants mis- wife; he loves her; he
is willing-despite proof Of her guilt
SO strong that the divorce court stop
ped in the middle Of the taking of tes-
timony-to have her come back TO him.
Indeed, he is offering her all sorts Of
inducements to return.
All England is literally astounded
by the sudden change in the affairs of
its most popular playwright. 1t does
not know what to make of him, for
he is going to most unusual lengths to
win back the woman who, according
to the testimony in the case, openly
flouted him for a younger and hand
| somer man.
Writes Humble Letter.
For days it has become known Bar
RE has been writing innumerable let
| tiers to his wife (sne was May Anselle,
an actress), humbling himself, beg
ging her pardon for having instituted
the suit, forgiving her proven misde-
meanors and absolutely begging her to
wed him again.
| He has offered, 1t became known to-
day, 10 settle s2OO,O0O upon her In
lump sum IL she will again be his wife,
In addition to that he has offered to
| take her ON a trip around the world
More than that, he has requested her
to make her own demand for terms
and has declared that ne will accede
for what, no matter what sine wants.
Mrs. Barrie thus far has been alto
getber unresponsive. Her affections
are conferred, friends assert, upon Gil
bert Canaan, the young critic and
6ramatist who was the correspondent
IN the divorce quit. The friends do not
believe that any appeal OF Barrie's VIII
MIN haclr his wife no matter how heart
broken he may be.
Testimony of Servants.
In the divorce suit 1t was testified
that Barrie lent Canaan cottage %
owned and that Mrs. Barrie went there
to live. the playwright supposed tna'
two or three other women were guests
lint this was not the case. servant
at the cottage testified thus:
IT always took tea up to Mrs. Bar
rie's and Mr. Cannan's rooms In IN
morning. one morning went to Mr.
Cannan's room, but got no reply TO m!
knock. Then ! went to MRS. baEEAe
room. heard her call Gilbert
II returned to his room; his BET
hadn't been occupied. When / returnet
10 Mrs Barrie's room Mr.. cannan wa
NOT there, but there was DRESSING
room between, and he probably wa
in there. On other occasions ! nav
seen him coming out of Mrs. Barrie
room i'm pajamas."
Here the Judge interrupted the cele
brated case and granted Mr.. Barrie hi
divorce.
