girl of ten years, was given to the mother, who now is Mrs. Henry Robertson, of Bal timore Judge Bregy, in the Philadelphia Divorce Court, set aside fund of $5,000 year for the support of this child. The little girl bears her fathers name, being known as Louise Henry Spear.
 The divorce proceedings and legal bat tie over the matter of this child's support lasted more than two years. He fought every inch of the way, first for the divorce and then to be freed from liability under his fathers will for the support of his child after his divorced wife had re- married.
 Since the collapse of his first matrimo- nial venture MT. Spear has spent most of his time in his clubs-the Racquet, the Markham, the University Che is an '02 of Princeton), the Rose Tree and the Phila- delphia Country Club
 Doubtless certain activities of Mr Spear in other directions will appeal powerfully to his chorus girl wife-he is an exceed ingly clever amateur actor, in great de- mand for society performances for charity, and is in still greater demand at other so-

cial functions because of his skill in the new dances.
 He is forty years old, athletic in typical rich outdoor mans way, and excels al squash racquets besides riding we'll and playing good game of golf.
 The new Mrs. Spear will not find biz city residence awaiting her return from the honeymoon, the Spear residence being al Wallingford, the suburban section most affected by Philadelphia intellectuals and the literary colony. The Racquet Club has been MT. Spears city home, but possibly the new chorus girl bride may have other ideas in that regard when the honeymoon- ITS have settled down to housekeeping.
 As is personally known to quite number of English noblemen, chorus girls adapt themselves with quite marvellous celerity to the position of lady of the manor. Doubtless Helen Louise Moyer-Spear will grace the Spear mansion at Wallingford with the same unruffled ease with which some of her recent pretty comrades in the "Follies" are still doing their own cooking on the sly on neat little portable gas stoves in hotel rooms where "cooking is strictly forbidden"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-12-27

the marital knot tied was apparent from scene earlier in the day at the Marriage License Bureau at the New York City Hall. While Miss Mover waited in an automobile outside MT. Spear appeared breathlessly before Clerk Edward Hunt just as the latter was about to close his office for the day and asked for mar riage license, naming the contracting par ties.
 Obligingly the clerk went on filling out the blank, but when he came to the ques- tion about previous marriage" there was hitch. MT. Spear did not have with him a certified copy of bis divorce decree granted five years ago. In this exigency Clerk Hunt was helpless.
 MT. Spear, more in a hurry than before, appealed to City Clerk Scully. q promise to send you the divorce decree copy at the earliest possible moment" he said. On this agreement Clerk Scully granted the license. Manifestly relieved, MT. Spear re-entered his machine and disappeared with his bride in cloud of dust
 MT. Spears former wife was Miss Lee Henry They were married at Cambridge, Md, in 1903, and in January, 1908, Mrs. Spear packed up her personal effects and went home to her mother.
 "She said," explained Mr. Spear, "that she loved her yellow dog more than she loved me-"

any emergency, for she Is able to retain the friendship of her companions and the good will of her professional superiors.
 "In fact, the chorus girl of one or two seasons experience is pretty nearly invul- nerable. The only thing that can kill her probably has not been tried-kindness."
 Evidently these sentiments are ap- proved by the family of MT. Spear, for it has taken the chorus girl bride into it's bosom-so 1t is caid. And there is another detail which sets this courtship apart from most of those in which chorus girls have figured. It was not theatre stage-door romance. The brides mother is authority for that. This is what Mrs. Mover said when she was interviewed at her home, No. Gil West One Hundred and Thirty fifth street, New York:
 Cupid did not shoot his dart over the footlights into the heart of MT. Spear. My daughter did not meet her husband at the theatre, in fact. MT, Spear never went to the theatre. He met her, after their first introduction, mostly right here in my daughters home. It was a quiet affair, without any limelight in it."
 The marriage itself was so quiet that in- formation as to who performed the cere- mony has not yet leaked out. In accord ance with the wishes of the happy couple, the brides mother even declined to say where they were spending the honeymoon.
 That MT. Spear was in hurry to have

are arguments showing why European no- blemen do well to marry chorus girls. They point out the benefits to the lord, not the chorus girl But, fortunately, lords are few and growing fewer, while chorus girls are becoming more numerous every year"

Will Lime Juice Help Your Rheumatism?

Among other things the treatment in- cluded medicines totalling 50 grains per day. At he end of nine months, his left arm had been restored to normal con- dition, the intense pains had gone, the internal organs had all resumed their functions and he weighed tweive pounds more than ever before in his lifc. Out wardly he had resumed perfect health.
 But the painless hand continued to tremble, at times so that he could hold nothing in it. and he had several daily spasms of neurosis-that is severe cramps in the flngers-and also lameness in the joints and feet.
 One hot day last August this man entered drug store and asked the man. ager for thirst killer. The latter recom- mended lime juice.
 Within ten minutes after drinking this one glass of lime juice the trembling and cramps in the mans hands disappeared and did not return again that day. When they did return the next day, he imbibed another drink of the mixture and they promptly ceased.
 Since len he has extinguished count less attacks in the Joints, head, nerves or elsewhere by the use of lime juice. He has also suggested the remedy to many fellow sufferers who have all reported the same benefcent results.
 It must be understood, say those who advocate the use of the juice, that it will at first produce only gradual cure for chronic sufferers. Those old Jumps of solidified uric acid in the joints must first be dissolved and carried out of the system. Having got rid of these Jumps, there will soon come a sudden end of the whole business. After that, the at- tacks can be met with nearly instant relief, whenever they occur, by simply taking little lime juice.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-12-27

IT ME juice is recommended as an
 antidote for uric acid and cure - for rheumatism. The lime is small fruit. resembling the lemon, large. ly grown in the West Indies, and known mostly to Americans as an ingredient of the drink known as a "rickey."
 Lime juice becomes in the blood powerful alkali It is said to be the only fruit juice that bears this distinction, diff fering radically in this respect from the lemon and other citrus fruits. A table, spoonful in glass of water, morning and night is said to be enough to dissolve all of the secretions of uric acid in the Joints or blood and drive them out of the sys. tenn.
 It's effects are said often to become manifest within thirty minutes after talk ing.
 Uric acid is supposed by doctors to be the great cause for rheumatism. It is produced by most of the foods and all alcoholic drinks Even the milk and vegetable diets produce it, but in les ser degree than meats.
 Ono scientist who has tested the merits of lime juice urges that corporations and municipalities ought to be compelled by law to serve it to laborers suffering from rheumatic pains as result of exposure to cold and dampness. The cost would more than pay for itself. Not only would the laborer perform more work. but his mind would be invigorated be- cause of the relief to his system.
 The man who urges this was under treatment for alleged rheumatism for long time. and was getting steadily worse. He had his blood examined by bacteriologist, who diagnosed the case as neuritis. He went under treatment by an expert. His left arm had become mere skin and bones, and it continually gave him the most intense pain.

"HE blonde and brunette and plump
 and slender and blue-eyed and dark A eyed beauties in the chorus of "The Follies of 1914" were in tortures of curios- ity. Right in the middle of the New York season and right in the limelight of Broad way-the chorus girls Paradise-brunette, slender and dark-eyed Helen Louise Mover had given her notice." This was her last performance, and she hadn't "breathed word!"
 They caught her as she was making her final exit through the stage door. She lodged them, laughingly, but as she es- caped she sung out over her shoulder:
 "By-by, girls; I'm off to get married to true blue millionaire"
 It was true The rest of that "Follies" chorus is now lon tour," far from Broad way and the chorus girls Paradise; but Helen Louise Mover, as Mrs. James J. Spear, is assisting her husband in his pleasant occupation of spending an annual income of s669 9531.16.
 Straight from chorus girl to multi millionaire's bride-that is the feat per formed by Helen Louise, late of the "Zieg- field Follies." In this example of such hap penings there is no comeback" or rebate or any kind of doubt whatever. That in come of six hundred and sixty y-nine thou sand five hundred and thirty-one dollars and sixteen cents will stand every known financial and social acid test. Besides, two million dollars of the principal is James J. Spears outright to do as he pleases with 4h<~ al h fc exchorus girl bride.
 For the multimillionaire husband of Helen Louise Mover, late of the ''Follies," is that same James J. Spear whose stoves, burning either coal or wood, for cooking or heating, are scattered throughout the length and breadth of this land. are manu- sactured in Philadelphia. Stoves are a necessity. They are as good as Govern ment bonds, and whole lot more profit able.
 No more will Helen Louise shiver in frigid hotel bedrooms allotted to chorus girls touring "one night stands" She is luxuriousIy warmed-as we'll as fed and clothed and bejewelled-by James J. Spear stoves.
 No more will she rush from the stage
  door at 11:30 p. m. to wet her pretty feet fin the slush of Winter street to catch a car to her dingy chorus girl habitat. Henceforth she will figure as a patroness of musical comedy and the drama, and will be seen, fur-clad and otherwise glorified, tripping from her limousine to enter the theatre by the front door-leaving 1t after the performance in the same patrician style.
 All of which, of course is as 1t should be.
 In this newspaper on November 15 8 learned sociologist end eugenist exper' presented an argument entitled "Why wealthy nol,lemen ought to be encouraged to marry chorus girls" At the end of tht article he hinted rather strongly that i would be even better for chorus girls tt pick out their own wealthy husbands. re marking:
