birdie"
In her apartments in n local hotel
| the bride (they have been married less
time than the usual honeymoon takes
to wane) fairly spat out her answer.
! Il may be n marble bride but it's
his fault" she said. Marble brides
can be made human--f.
| The man loves his wife n lot. but
doesn't get too foolish about IT.
| when he doesn't let her work, but
| goes out and husilss. and pays the
bills himself:
When he's the hoas-and makes
| her know IT,"
And then the little star. who used
| to be n light opera prma donna, ana
who has just finished "a week as
headliner n, r. +. Keiths. wen, into
detail about her husbands suit
"He Got So Foolish"
! II like JEAN" she continued. Hes
really awfully nice. Used 10 be a news
| paper man. But he got so foolish!
| Il really believe he got jealous. Any
how. he got very. very disagrecahle.
so he lett me. one fine morning.
! a few weeks ago. he packed np his
| suitcase and his trunk aud departed for
parts unknown. ! wondered where he
| was.
Il found out, Ills lawyer told me.
| He had sued me for divorce, charging
descrtion as the big thing. And then
he added that | was a marble bride
I'm not I'm Irish. And I'm n big
| girl. There's lots to me. SO when !
get good and mad il means n lot to
think about.
Tho one great. big trouble with
MIR IIavcz is that he is lazy. And !
just got tired of supporting him.
Wanted to Cook.
II was making $3.50 a week when
| | married him. I'VE made more since.
And rye never wanted to work at all.
except at cooking. in my own flat. or
something like that.
'"rhe big trouble with Jean, and
me, too. Is that We ever hit New York.
| Both of us could have been satisfied
with the s25 a week he was making
reading copy on newspaper IN
| Baltimore.
But I could sing n littlc--or Mt
least people seemed to think / could
and We were both ambitious.
I'VE weren't married then. I went
up to New York to study and he went
up to get n job.
1--WE both got away with it,
landed in n grand opera chorus. at
the Metropolitan. After that got
lot of other jobs. I had the title role

: | got $500 n week.
HE Began to erag."
After that | worked IN two or three
shows in the big town. and. finally.
while was working at the Winter
Garden, We married"
And then the hcaalincr, with ripe
corn red hair, bit her under lip and
3 grew femnlnely vicious.
Ever since then I've supported
s him" she declared. Il made the
2 money: he spent it, was crazy
! about him.
1 Then he began to brag--whllc nc
! WAS spending my money. In that d.
k vorco paper he served me with he ac-
cuscd me of lot of things. l dare
q him to take them into court.
4 another great big trouble with Mr.,
q uaycH is that he's tempcramental. And
n as rye said. I'm Irish.
Must Pay the Bills.
I'VE could have gotten along beau
tifully. perhaps. II neither of us had
ever seen Broadway. and If he hadn''
been so fond of staying on broadway
instead OF coming home.
III he had worked real hard. as q
bircklaycr. or a machinist, or an archi-
t,ct. or even artist-or something--anS
