Friends of the young couple pointed
Yesterday TO several different elements
in the situation they had to confront
which must inevitably have caused an
unhappy ending Of the romance which
had had such a stormy beginning. IN
the first place, they said, Mrs. Noble
was six years her husbands senior, pos
sessed of an exceptionally fcrcetul per-
sonality and an incisive intellect She
dominated him in everything, since he.
on the other hand, seemed immature
mentally, a big boy with the instincts
and interests of a boy, and lacking, also,
even a small fraction of the experience,
both human and purely social, which had
become a part Of her.
( Dependent on Her Income.
Then. too, Mrs. Noble held the purse
strings Young Noble, whose father
owns a little cottage on an acre OF
ground adjoining the big suydam estate
l
"dustless duster" concern here in the
city at the time of the elopoment.
| Shortly afterward he and his job parted
company because Of the notoriety at
| tendant on his relations with Mrs. Suy-
dam, he said at the time ..
! Since then he had had no job ssnd'was
dependent on Mrs. Mobiles income. He
| had tried in a desutory way to obtain
steady work of some kind. The two had
several visionary schemes in mind which
they confded to their intimates, one
being to travel over this country in an
automobile and write their impressions
of the different places visited for a
syndicate Of publications. Noble was
to run the automobile and Mrs. Noble
was TO do the writing.
But after sounding the editors of sew
eral magazines on the subject and re-
ceiving little encouragement they reIin-
quished the plan. So this boy, a. big,
hearty. outstanding youth ehSu9h' fTwho
could not follow his wife. i1to me good
sized world of her intellect, whose mind

as IL she had rnesmerized him, had to re-
main at home with her much of the time
when he ordinarily would have been at
work, giving both personalities rest
and refreshment.
On top Of this, in spite OF her protesta-
tions, Mrs. suydam did not love the boy
deeply. She confided this to a friend
on the eve Of her marriage. She asked
this friends advice. saying that her
mother was opposed TO cementing the
union. but she still hoped for recon
ciliation with Mr.. Suydam. but that she
the daughter, would not hear of a re-
turn to her former husband, who had
obtained an absolute divorce, and that
she felt a marriage to Noble would set
them right before the world.
Mrs. Noble told this friend that she
had an income Of $125 a week, which
would support them comfortably while
"Billie" continued looking for the elusive
job.
1.-THE only man I ever loved or ever
will love-" she was quoted yesterday as
saying on this occasion, lis Walter Suy-
dam, my former husband. 1t was his in
difference that drove me into 'Billie's'
company. He's a good boy and bright
boy and will get a job sooner or later.
Then well be free of all this annoy
ance."
The marriage took place in Jersey City
on January 10 before Edward A. Ran
som, jr., justice Of the peace. Mrs.
White refused to attend, but was repre-
sented instead by lawyer, who saw To
it that the ceremony was regular in
every way. Mobiles father also frowned
on this strengthening Of his sons union
with the woman whom the Noble family
had always considered enticed Fred
away and ruined his life. He was not
present
The couple had moved in the mean
time from the single apartment of four
rooms on the second floor of the Regina
10 double apartment on the third floor,
which contained nine rooms and two
bathrooms. and was correspondingly
more expensive. They spent good deal
OF money also In an attempt 70 divert
their minds in the night life of the city,
visiting theatres and cafes in taxicabs.
II is supposed the wife's income did not
suffice to pay all their debts and that
she was forced to apply to her former
husband for more funds.
