Frank Lloyd Wright, the Chicago ar
chitect who is living with his soul
mate, Mamah Borthwick, in his "spiri-
tual castle" here tonight added anoth-
er statement to his last word" re-
gNrding the ''lDve quadrangle" OF
which he and the soul-mate are the
principal angles, and blaming his
wife for all the notoriety that has
been heaped upon them. Wright says
| that his wife had promised to get
divorce SO he could marry "the lady
who is living in the house with me,
if she found that his passion was not
mere intatuation that would quickly
wear off. Wright says he has found
out that love is love-" but Mrs.
Wright has not only failed to 60 into
court but she has absolutely refused
to denounce her husband, call him 4
deserter, or even designate the fourth
corner of the quadrangle with any OF
the names that deserted wives usual
I, ly apply to the soul-mates OF erring
husbands.
