Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1915-12-28

Mr.. Palm saw Mrs. Palm at Daven-
port today. The fact Is that he has
been in Chicago all day
There is no truth in the report that
legal proceedings are about to be be-
gun by Mr.. Palm. We think none will
be necessary. Besides, man cant
make love BY either Law or logic. There
are other more effective ways. ] viii
Meth affirm nor deny any of the many
other reports now current as to the
whereabout Of Mrs Palm
Further than this aflant saith not.
Home Christmas Day.
Developments of today show that
Mrs. Palm reached her home In Day-
export at O'Clock Christmas morn
/ ing. She had gone westward as far as
Kansas City and becoming homesick
communicated over long distance with
her mother. Mrs. Follmer thereupOn
asked her to come hack 10 Davenport
and she would accompany her to Cali
fornia.
After due consideration these plans
were changed and all decided it would
be best for Mrs Palm to remain at
home Harry Vollmer. who accompan-
led his sister to Kansas City, contin-
ued his trip on to California, expect
ing his mother and sister TO follow
shortly. An attempt was made to III
tercept him enroute by telegraph and
inform him of the change in the plans
of mother and daughter, but without
success.
Inconsistencies and love Of parents
is given as the sole reason for Mrs.
Palms return to Davenport. According
TO the announcement of her mother,
she went away and returned voluntar-
lily. As she expresses it her daughter
has decided to make the best of very
unpleasant situation and will again
assume her customary place IN the
family and among her friends.
To a newspaper representative Mrs.
Palm said: Il decided the bravest way
was to come back and face the IN
pIeasantness and that / am going TO do.
1t seems so good to be back home
again. I have not seen Mr.. Palm since
l left Davenport I will not see him I'M
til he makes good"
@Making Good" Defined.
Mr.. Palm is q years Of age ana the
bride 10. The groom at present is
without profession or business train
ing and with no earning capacity. It
is for this reason that the parents re
fused to become reconciIed TO the
match. He was told to go out and make
good and then come back and claim
his bride
When asked today for a definition OF
the phrase making good, a member
Of the family replied: We believe
every young man should be able to
support a wife when he marries. 1his
is all we required of Mr.. Palm and
will allow him a reasonable length of
time to show his worth
At the Vollmer home word was Civ
en- out that as far as members Of the
family were aware Mr.. Palm was still
in Chicago.
c. Fl. Murphy, Davenport represeu-
tative of young PALMS Chicago attor-
neys, stated today he had not as yet
even seen Palm even by sight Il would
not know him if he walked into my
office this minute and I certainly have
no positive knowledge of his present
whereabouts However, I believe him
to be still in Chicago" commented
Mr.. Murphy.
This case is a case of diplomacy
rather than one Of law added Mr.
Murphy. This would appear to set at
rest the report that Palm was CON
templating filing suit against Harry
Vollmer, father of the bride, asking
100000 damages, alleging the alienat-
ing of his wife's affections.
