NEW YORK, sept. 1o.--Nlis' NdttNi
Lispenard Suydam, jr., who ON sator-
day needed her protector, Fred
Noble, the plumbers son, and VINO was
not able to decide on questions OF con-
ventions without him, yesterday de-
clared she would live alone in her New
York home, 50 West Twelfth street.
.'Mr. Noble she said, did not re-
! main with me al our fiat last night.
Instead, he returned to the home OF his
| father, $3.50 Decatur street, Brooklyn.
I will remain here throughout the win
ter, the owner of this apartment house
having agreed not to modest me.
II am from a family hat for genera
tons has held its head high in this
country, and some of its members have
done great things. one of them, an an
cestor on my fathers side, was one OF
! the signers of the Declaration of lnde-
pendence-that great state paper that
brought on the trials resulting finally
in bliss for all concerned.
Signed Independence. Declaration.
Il, too, have signed a declaration of
independence, D. A. Serviss, owner of
this apartment, having told me to get
out or become more conventional. /
decided the latter course-as far as sur
face conditions go-is best, and so l
let Fred-or rather Mr.. Noble-go back
TO Brooklyn. and then l drew up a
! paper something to this effect:
II, Mrs. Louise l.. Suydam, one-time
wife of Walter Lispenard Suydam, jr.,
of Blue Point, Long Island. but now
free and independent, being of g and
possessed of my legal reason, do here
by declare, for the benefit of the owner
of this apartment house and for the
conventional people that dwell herein,
that | will observe certain rules laid
down by the owner for my observance.
First, l will not allow my husband
to come to this place to cause a dis
turbance or try to see me. Gle won't,
anyway, because such a visit will in
~terfere with his fishing excursions in
the Great South Bay.)
Men Visitors Barred.
Second, | wi not allow Frederick
Noble, my protector in my difficulties
with my husband, to again visit me
under this roof.
Third, l will never allow men call
ers to visit me in my apartment at
this address.

shoulders the responsibility for the
furniture in this apartment hat was
in the rooms when Mr.. Noble signed
the months lease last week. He being
gone now I promise to return in good
order all goods he receipted for.
Fifth, l will meet all expenses as
Mrs. Suydam now, not as Mrs. Noble,
and any expenses incurred by either
my protector, Mr.. Noble, or by myself
as Mrs. Noble, l will meet.
ITO thee rules j Will abide, and the
owner of this house, Mr.. d. A. Serviss,
agrees with me tat they are conven
tional. He will not again ask me to
leave unless / break one of these rules.
Otherwise l remain here until spring,
or any other tirie my marital difficult
ties are settled satisfactorily.
LOUISE l.. SUYDAM.
ID. A. SERVISS."
This" said Mrs. Suydam, lis the
situation today. l am content with
the way matters have gone, and will
do my best to live up to the agree
ment. / have a maid, and she, with
the care Mr.. Serviss takes of his apart
ment house, will make my life pleasant
to such an extent that 1 will not need
my protector, Mr.. Noble.
IT will continue to see Mr.. Noble
at intervals, if he is willing to see me.
He came today and got his suitcase
and took it away l met him outside
and had ne maid give it to him. We
have not quarreled."
Noble Calls for Kiss.
Mrs. Suydam said she would have
no place to go and that she preferred
to lemain in the apartment.
II felt sorry for her predicament, so
l explained the necessity of her be-
coming totally responsible for every
thing in the place, and also of the
necessity for her to sign an agreement
that she would allow no men callers
especially young rToble-up to her.
She agreed"
Noble shortly before midnight last
night appeared at the Regina apart
ment house, rushed to the econd floor
and there received a goodnight kiss.
II found my fathers home in Brook.
Ign a dreary place" he said as he left.
II simply had to look into Louise's
eyes again. 1 rushed out n now I'm
here"
