He produced a letter from his wife

to say that she had been living in Chi

Instead OF sending the furniture. Herr.

the story beiSg told at present
by J. Robinson Duff, of'New York, former
salesman, now Wall street broker
Duff began his Arabian Nights career
by moving to New York about year ago,
without a cent. He tried to make a liv-
ing by selling Ford starters, but business
was bad and it was all he could do to
provide necessaries for his young wife
and their two babies. One day he went
home to consult with his wife on borrow
ing money enough to buy fifty shares of
Electric Boat stock; 1t was selling cheap
and nobody wanted II, though Duff be-
lieved there was future in it. His wife
advised him to buy, and then followed
weeks of waiting and anxiety
All Unexpectedly the boat stock took
an upward turn, and quite in a twink
ling the Duffs found themselves installed
at the Ritz-Carlton, with the comfortable
feeling that a bank account punctuated
by several commas establishes. And for
her share of the profits Dun made over
to his wife $250,000. Six months before
he couldn't have written a check for
500. Mrs. Duff promptly put the money
in a savings bank, declaring that she
had no intention of Drawing the uncer-
tainties of Wall st.

to ambitious fortune-builders," Duff said,
cts this: Take your wife into your con-
fdence. Nine times out of ten her bunch
is worth more than all your logic and

~ oMEHow or other it lust doesn't
seem to be the luck of Ralph
Herr, the comedian, to get as
many laughs in his home and
into his home life as he gets on
the stage.
II seems as IL whenever Ralph Herr
enters the front door of his home the
laughs go out hurriedly by the back
door And along with the laughs on sew
eral occasions there has gone some man
or other who made his exit as hurriedly
as the laughs. simultaneously with the
entry Of the comedian.
All of which hasty exits of laughs and
men, together with the reasons that have
made the hasty exits necessary, have led
to Ralph HerZ's second divorce suit. And
into divorce suits it brought a reason
for divorce that has never before been
put forth in America.
Mature parading" is the new cause
for divorce. In its simplest form it seems
to consist of walking through house or
down a hall either in abbreviated costume
or in no costume at all.
Your honor, / saw Mrs. Herr walk
down a hall without even a fig leaf on
her" This was the concise description
ing" as given to the Judge by Mrs.
Eleanor Weeks, who keeps the boarding
house which has the hall which was used
for the nature parades."
Atlantic City has the distinctionsof be-
ing the municipality in which nature
parading" was born. Ralph Herz's wife
was dancing there this summer with her
partner, Harold Margraff, who was
named as one of the nature aparaders,"
the third being Leo Kohls, director OF
the orchestra at the Rudolph hotel in
Atlantic City.
Your honor, saw Mrs. Herr walk
down the hall without even fiji leaf on
her and Kohls followed her" This, by
the landlady, was the full announcement
of the mature parade" in her boarding
house as she made it to the divorce
Judge.
Two other women who were in the
srme boarding house at the time Mrs
Herr was there also testified as to the
mature parades," and told the judge
that they saw other Gets which entitled
Herr to a divorce decree.
In addition to posing as a model for
Eve, Mrs. Herr was in the habit of bid
ding her husband good-by at the front
door as he was about to depart after
a weekend visit and opening the back
door of the apartment to admit PRO
fessor" Kohls.

lady, 81 had telegram to deliver to Mrs.
Herr. She kept kissing the top of her
husbands head and winking at me and
making all sorts Of signs to keep me
from delivering the telegram until after
her husband had left
A little while later Mrs. Herr wanted
to know If arrangements could be made
SO that her dancing partner could live
at the boarding house. She was told
that there was no room vacant Just at
that time.
Then about week later the landlady
heard voices in Mrs. Herz's rooms. She
questioned Mrs. Herr about it and Mrs.
Ears told her that her dancing partner

her for about a week.

landlady, also found much favor in the
dancers eyes. A sister of the landlady
testified in the same direction and sup
ported the landlady's testimony about
the nature parades" through the halls.
Mr.. Herr, the comedian, seemed to
give no Joy whatever to Mrs. Herr or to
her two gentlemen callers. Whenever he
appeared the nature parades" were
quickly called off, and a sudden air of
decorum and propriety became apparent.
On one occasion the comedian unwit-
tingly interfered with nature parade"
He came home Unexpectedly and had
been there but few minutes when Kohls
hove into sight carrying a telegram. Mrs.
Herr saw him before her husband did
and making violent signals to him to
beat it, succeeded in shooing him out Of
the way.
But he didn't go very far. As soon as
Herr left his wife's apartments by the
front door Kohls promptly reappeared
and entered by the back and remained
for some time.
The comedian married the dancer In
San Francisco at midnight on February
Is, 1918. Only intimate friends were
present, among them being Lily Langtry,
Lady de Battle. The marriage occurred
one year after Lulu Glazer, musical
comedy star, had obtained a divorce from

Ever since she began. ten years ago. to

Bluff. on the shore Of Lake Michigan.
life for her has been Just one scrap after
another. First, there was rumpus
about going into business at all; then
when money began to come in as super
quality of milk went out the plant burned
down; she found difficulty in securing
the thoroughbred type Of bovines she de-
sired; afterward a series of disturbances
was instituted by state milk inspectors
and such. She fought all the way
through and came out Of every fray vic

and mouth disease and the Illinois State
Livestock commissioners put the ban on
her thirty-thousand-dollar herd Of Jer-
seys and Guernseys.
They had the disease. She admits so
much. But she says they were cured
ever so long ago, and the state therefore
has nothing to say about them. The
commissioners, however, sent officers to
dig mortuary trenches on Crab Tree farm
preparatory to the slaughter of fifty
seven COWS, most of which we're imported
direct from Attorney and Guernsey.
Mrs. Durand slapped back with an injunc-
ton restraining the commission from
shooting the animals until they could be
re-examined The commission fought the
injunction, and Judge Edwards at Wauke-
gan said that a separate commission
probably would be appointed to cover the
case. His order forbade the killing un-
til further notice.
1t did not forbid hostilities, however.
Members of the commission announced
what they intended to do. Whereupon
Mrs. Durand bought a group of foolish,
mooing calves, and christened them with
the names of members Of the commission
The names were bestowed in full, pair

inspectors and deputy sheriffs raided the

Not without a struggle, however. Mrs.

around for the purpose Of harming her
cattle. To be ready for trouble, she
armed her employees. When the sheriff
