Prom Thirteen Years Of a Busy wcsnan's Life, 81
BY Mn. Alec Tweedlc.
Whistler's marriage was the strangest
affair in the world. for he was probably
about sixty at the time, and his bride.
AIRS. Goodwin. a widow, although a pretty
woman. was by no means young. Yet.
the romance and enthusiasm they devel-
oped were delightful. and during the ten
years or so OF his married life Whistler
became infinitely more human and con-
tented In every way. Hidden away ne
had a kind heart, although he chose gen.
orally to conceal it. His wife's loss was
the tragedy of his existence. and he was
never the same man afterward.
Henry Labouchere wrote: IT believe
that I was responsible for his CWhis-
tlers) marriage to the widow of Mr..
Goodwin. the architect. She was a re-
markedly pretty woman and very agree
able. and both she and he were thorough
Bohemians. 1 was dining with them and
some others one evening at Earrs Court
They were obviously greatly attracted to
each other. and in a vague sort Of way
they thought Of marrying. So I took
the matter In hand to bring things to a
practical point.
Jenny said, will you marry Mrs
Goodwin Certainly he replied. Mrs
Goodwin said, will you marry Jenny"
Certainly she replied. When asked.
oh, some day. said Whistler. That
won't do I said: we must have a date
So they both agreed that I should choose
the day, tell them what church to come
to for the ceremony. provide a clergy
man. and give the bride away. I fixed
an early date. and got the then chaplain
Of the House Of Commons to perform
the cermony. It took place a few days
later.
After the ceremony was over, we adj
3ourped to Whistler's studio, where he
had prepared q banquet. The BANQUET
was on the table. but there were no
chairs. So we sat on packing cases, The
happy pair. when ! left, had not quite
decided whether they would 90 that even
ing to Paris or remain in the studio.
How impractical they were was shown
when / happened to meet the bride the
day before the marriage in the street.
Don't forget tomorrow said. No.
she replied; I am just going to buy my
trousseau. "A little late for that, ID Il
notr I asked. No. she answered, for I
am only going to buy q new toothbrush
and new sponge, as one ought to have
new ones when one marries.' However,
there never was q more successful mar
rage"

The arrival of the psychological
moment when all the world wishes tc
be out of doors is calculated to some
what affect indoor recreation and to
lightly turn the thoughts of people in
general from anything that savors OF
serious consideration to the ligntes,
possible forms of entertainment.
1t is curious fact that, whereas
abroad our European cousins will sit
interested through Shakesperean plays
and classical revivals, even during the
heated term of June, July, and August
we Americans have but one desire
and that is to get into the open.
Certain very light comedies and the
veriest syllabub of musical plays may
lure an audience, especially when they
are given on the heights of a roof
garden, but when summer prenlaturely
displaces spring in the lap of winter,
and all the world without bursts into
bloom, those legitimate plays that make
an appeal in cold weather are consid-
cred too heavy fare for human natures
nightly food. 1t would, none the less,
be much more sensible if even mid
summer audiences would concentrate
their thoughts upon something really
worth while"

The Centle AIT Of Lying.

convenience to those people imbued
with a passion for the truth.
The liar may invent story oil
circumstantial evidence to suit his own
mercenary ends or even afford an out
let for his diseased imagination; take
for example, the, recent instance of a
well-known couple who have always
moved in the most refined circles OF
society," dragged into the limelight of
publicity through the reckless theory
of an actual assault by other than
some unknown person. Since the law
takes no cognizance of anguish OF
mind" they certainly have no redress
for the incaleulable inconvenience and
calumny to which they have been SUBJ
jected, and it is assured1y both wiser
and kinder to inclose it in the sugared
pellets of homeopathic diplomacy than
to administer it in a crude form GER
tain to cause pain and resentment. The
ready liar is so often met with that
he gradually becomes as irritating as
he may at first have been an amusing
type of character; merely a nuisance
out of business circles, he is nothing
less than hindrance to the machinery
of existence when it comes to the
practical affairs of life. To lie is hui
man, to tell the truth divine, might
well be the paraphrase of a famous
saying, and if George Washington
was in any way greater than as the
victorious pommander-in-chief in the
war for independence was as the
personal embodiment of the spirit of

TWO GOOD BOUTS AT
 WHITTINGTON PARK
REVIVAL OF BOXING CONTESTS BRINGS OUT GOOD CROWD TO
 SEE THE MATCHES

The winter boxing carnivals were renewed last night in the theatre a, Wilmington Park, and as in previous bouts, the crowd got a great run for is money, especially was this true in the main event which went the full scheduled ten rounds, between Lanky Bel the talest bantam weight in the world who claims San Francisco as his home. and Harry Wade, the well known bantam, of St Louis.
 The first bout marked the return to the local ring of Frankie Sdhorr, of the Army and Navy hospital, who has been out of commission since break ing his right hand on Battling Miner of Memphis, several weeks ago, and The Grizzly" as Schorr is known came very near ending his contest with Johnny Anweler of St Louis, in the first round Schorr lost no time in going after his man, and a couple of seconds before the bell in the frs. round sent over right hand swing that caught the St. Louis boy on the point of the chin and knocked him cold. The bell saved him An weller returned refreshed in the second round and Schorr gave q very pretty exhibition of boxing for the remaining five rounds. He easily earned the decision, Schorr's hand mas entirely healed. but he was rather wild at times
 The BelLWade bout also threatened to end in the first round, Bell claim ing foul, which Paddy McAndrews, the referee, recognized. He sent the boys to their corner and gave Bell two minutes rest From the second to .he tenth round it was as hot a fight as one could to watch. First one would gain @ seeming advantage and then the other would even the score. In the last round Bell lore ai ter Wade and had the crowd wild. McAndrews decision of a draw met with popular approval It is quite likely that Paddy McAndrews and Marshall Claiborne will meet in the main even. on the night of December 23. provided the men can agree as to the weight at which they will box. Both have fought each other twice before, each winning a decision.
