1t is said that wealthy American
women make a poorer showing as
wives than the women of almost any
other nation. The difficult marriage
game is made comparatively easy for
her. yet often she closes out" on il.
She enters the game with the idea
that life's victory is hers, not realiz-
ing that her real work has just begun.
She plays her cards ehildishly, fool
ishly, often recklessly, and blames her
partner when failure comes.
Anne Crawford Flexner, a Ken
lucky woman, to whom the game Of
marriage has been a life study, has
written play about it, THE Mar
riage Came" which begins a weeks
engagement at Shubert's tonight. In
this play she not only shows the
American wife her mistakes, but tells
her how TO mend them. She points
out pitfalls and shows safe path to
avoid them
Mrs. Flexner Is a conversationalist
She says she hates to see waste Of
any Sind-most of all waste of OPP
portunity, waste of happiness. That
Is why she has studied and written
THE Marriage Came" which is a.
sprightly and palatable. moral medi-
cine in three "spoonfuls.
1t is not play built on theory. 1t
is built on life. Only one of the char
acters belongs to 4 type not seen in
America, and that Is Mrs Oliver, the
leading woman. an artist in charm,
taiented, refined. beautiful, clever, un-
married, but past mistress of the
game Of marriage.
She is a real woman. Mrs Flexner
met her abroad and studied her Mt
close range while on a yachting trip

with her husband. This woman whom
Mrs. Flexner saw had message to
deliver to the American wife, pro-
vided a play could be written around
her and an actress found to interpret
her difficult and peculiar personality
II interviewed dozens OF applicants
for the role" says Mrs. Flexner, "be-
fore | found the right one. For you
must bear in mind that the exact
type that this character represents
does not exist in America. She is an
outgrowth of European ideals and
conditions. American women need
lessons from her more than any other
woman in the world
First the American wife should
learn that she must give in proportion
to what she receives She takes, but
she does not give a 'quid pro quo
America breeds splendid business
women but they don't apply business
principles to marriage. That Is why
nine-tenths of them fail.
They don't use their reason. They
allow whims and emotions to destroy
their peace of mind. They nurse
matrimonial molehills into mountains
and rush Indignantly into divorce
action, which a little common sense
would avert
The american wife has every
chance on earth TO win. But she
cannot keep her husbands love by
nagging. by neglecting her home for
bridge and dance teas, by being care
less in dress. by foolish tears, by ex-
travagance. by suspicion or by re-
fusal to take an interest in things
that interest her husband If she ex-
poets love and a home. she must give
love and the things which make home
the truest paradise on earth"

An Object of Compassion

George Ade, apropos OF a Maybe
cember marriage, said:
When your octogenarian million

grapher or bareback rider OF seven
teen summers. 1t is not to the radiant
bride, but to the husband, that my
sympathies go out.

little fable.

ENDS HER LIFE
IN PARK LAKE
Miss Mary A. McCabe Commits
Suicide-Two Other Wom-
en- Take Poison.

One woman drowned herself and
two others drank poison within eigh-
teen hours Saturday night and Sun
day. The latter are in the City Hos
pital slightly improved in condition
since their reception, but still on the
dangerous list.
Temporary arrangement resulting
from a nervous breakdown is said TO
have been the cause of Miss Mary A.
McCabe, thirty years old, of p Hud-
son street, drowning herself in the
lake in Branch Brook Park yester-
day. Miss McCabe was deeply re-
ligious and had hoped to become
sister of charity. She was informed
several weeks ago that her physical
strength was not sufficient for her to
become a member of the order and
this fact preyed greatly upon her
mind.
Soon after receiving this Informal
ton Miss McCabe was forced to leave
the position she held with Whitehead
d Hoag and remain at home. Only
Saturday night she declared that she
felt sufficiently recovered to go back
to work tomorrow but was advised
by her father and brothers to remain
at home for a week longer. After
retiring she was restless all night.
according to her sister, with whom
she slept, and frequently arose to
take a drink of water. Shortly be-
fore 6 o'clock yesterday morning Miss
McCabe arose and dressed and told
her father that she was going to at
tend the half-past six o'clock mass in
st. Augustine's Church. Mr.. McCabe
asked her to wait for the half-past
seven mass and he would accompany
her. Miss McCabe refused to do this
and started forth. One of her brothers
went to the front window and noticed
that instead of going in the direction
of ST. Augustine's Church she started
in the opposite. He informed his
father of this and both agreed that
she had made up her mind to go 10
the Church of the Sacred Heart in
stead. Her way to this church would
naturally take her through Branch
Brook Park.
Body Found BY Policeman.
When at half-past nine Miss Nc
Cabe failed to return search was IN
stituted and it was shortly after 70
o'clock that her body was found float
ing in the lake. and in her hands
was clasped her prayer book. Park
Officer Soluble made the discovery of
the body.
Mrs Annie Dresch, twenty-four
years old, of Is Hampton street, is in
a serious condition at the City Hos
pital as the result of drinking a
quantity of carbolic acid yesterday in
the home of her mother-in IS
Wilsey street. AT the home last night
her husband stated that he could
think of no-reason except a recent
Illness for his wife having committed
the act. and stated that she explained
to him that she had mistaken the
poison FOR paregoric.
Another patient who took a guam
tity of bichloride of mercury on Sat
urday is In the City Hospital. This
is Mrs. Agnes Birchlbach, thirty
eight years old, Of SO Merchant street.
The poison was taken following a
family argument, and walking away
from her husband, who was arguing
with her at the time, Mrs. Birchlbach
swallowed the poison before he could
prevent 1t. Owing to the nature of
the poison it is impossible as yet to
tell what her chances for recovery
are

"As dead as I am" snarled Braine.
1.-TWO men went away in that balloon,
and I'll wager my head that one man
came back. I am beginning to put a
few things together that 1 have not
thought of before. Who knows?
That balloon may have been carried
out to sea purposely. The captain on
that tramp steamer may have lied
from beginning to end. I tell you.
Hargreave Is alive, and wherever he
is he has his hand on all the wires.
He has agents, too, of whom we know
nothing about. Hang the million! l
want to put my hands on Hargreave
just to prove that l am the better
man. He communicates with Jones.
perhaps through the reporter; he has
had me followed; 1t was he who
changed the boxes, bored the hole in
the ceiling OF the other quarters and
learned heaven knows what"
IF that's the case" said Vroon,
why hasn't he had us apprehended? ?"
Braine laughed heartily. Haven't
you been able to see by this time
what his game is? Revenge. He
does not want the police to NEEDLE
only in the smaller affairs. He wants
to do away with us one by one; he
wants to put terror into the hearts Of
all of us. Keep this point in your
mind when you act He'll never
summon the police unless we make a
broad daylight attempt to get pos
session of his daughter; and even
then he would make 1t out a plain
case of kidnapping. Elimination.
that's the word. All right. Well
play at that game ourselves. No.
shall be Mr.. Norton. and II you fail
I'll break you" Braine added to the
ex-reporter.
''I'll get him." said the man sullenly.

there were two strikes on hand. and

THE College Hero is scheduled for
presentation at the Majestic Theatre
at Erie, Pa, Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday of this week for the benefit of
the Erie Infants Home. This is Wade
Davis's production, which he staged
in this city last year, and in which 200
Newarkers took part. Although 700
performers are advertised in the cast
at Erie, it is found by actual count
that there are nearer 500 performers.
The house is almost entirely sold out
for the entire half week. The whole
town is on the tiptoe of expectation
over the forthcoming event.
