The wife's outward composure, the
husbands disdain, the tender care in
the face of the aged mother-each
made manifest in many different ways
throughout the course of the trial, play
with strange effect upon the heart
strings of the women spectators at the
trial of Daisy Opie Grace.
AS for the men they are there to sat
isfy an appetite for details about two
persons who have suddenly been lifted
to the spotlight by a plethora of news
paper publicity. When the average man
knows the result of the Grace trial his
interest soon will wane. But no verdict
Of the jury will ever satisfy the un-
spoken queries which have arisen in
the mind of every woman who has read
of the Grace case.
No matter what the trial brings
forth the Grace case is but varia-
ton of the domestic equation. The
Graces were incompatible. either by ma
ture or through worldly circumstances
which arose early in their welded life
The wherefores of this incompatibility
the reason for the climax. whatever
It was-are the things about the Grace
case which disturb and compel the at
tention Of the women
But She Wants to Know.
Il object to being classed among the
idle curious" said a well dressed mid
dle-aged woman who sat in front
seat at the trial. She was speaking to
a friend.
well. it's hard for me to say why
came" said the friend Il confess to
ths-I am not so much interested in
whether she shot him or not as ! am
in the chain of circumstances which
brought about the shooting"
"Of course" said the middle aged
woman, there was tragedy in the
Grace home-that much Is sure There
are a thousand possibilities. She may
have been undutiful or he may have
been. If so. why? Did their natures
interlock? Or did an outside circum-
stance force itself in and disturb the
domestic balance?
III the full details of the Grace case
were Known don't mean merely the
details which led directly to the shoot
lng-they would show a problem which
arises in the lives Of every married
couple In their case, it might have
been primitive-they might have fall
en- out about some petty thing. or they
may not have fallen out at ALT might
have all been under the surface
But whatever the trouble vast
arose because of the inability or the
failure Of one of them to bear an equi-
table part of the responsibilities of
married life. There are a million ways
in which this old, old formula can be
violated In some instances you see
man and woman. apparently fashioned
for each other. Both of them are gen.
tie in spirit both are considerable. both
allow to each other the little necessary
privacies-and there is enough money
to keep the wolf at a safe distance from
the door Yet there is no permanent
happiness. 1t may be that one Of them
tried to do too much. 1t may be that
the stronger withheld from the weaker
certain matters which should have been
met by both of them together.
and so it was with the Graces !
am sure regardless Of what form it
took"
