Mrs. De SaulIes Letters Reveal
Her Love Long After Separation
Mssves Bring Tears Jurors Eyes They Expose Young
Wife's Poverty Her Yearnings for Happy Home
Life and Her Pride in Little Jack

MINEOLA. Long Island, Nov. 90
The ever shifting domestic relations of
Jack De Saulles and his girl wife were
traced in court yesterday through the
letters of Mrs. De Saulles to her hus-
band-letters that continued to be
punctuated with the pet names of their
courtship long after they had ceased to
live under one roof.
The letters, most of which were writ
ten from South Bethlehem, Penn,
where Mrs. De Saulles spent a year
with the mother of her husband, were
crowded with stories of the exploits of
Baby Jack, the plump infant who then
was struggling with his first tooth, and
pleas for some arrangement under
which the family again would be united.
The climax Of these pleading mes
sages came in a letter dated from her
Pennsylvania home in July, 1913, fol-
lowing quarrel, in which De Saulles
apparently had ordered his wife from
his room. She said:
South Bethlehem. July 25, 1913.
Darling Dsr: have had a great big
heartache ever siace you told me to Go
to your ROOM and had made ND my
mind that | would not write to you
until you wrote to me. or else spoke
one sweet word through the phone, but
| have relented, and instead am going
to tell you how harsh and unkind ou
were. | did not think that ever, in
your life time, even if you lived to a
hundred years, would you have ordered
me out OF the room, much less gone
away without saying goodby or where
you were going to stay. That-after IL
thousand and one professions of love!
well, ! suppose every ones ideals
are shattered. and yours probably also,
although | have tried not TO shatter
yours, even when things did seem SO
hlGd. | hope you are having "A good
time in n. T., i, must be such fun 10
play bachelor again; in fact, it must
seem quite natural, and the last two
years surely are but a horrd night-
mare-then so inopportunely the wife's
letter comes! Why don't you race with
Maurice and enjoy yourself? You will
only get nervous and bored in Bethle-
hem and lose your appetite. Devotedly,
"BLANQUITA."
Misses Her Little Family
An undated letter, sent from New
port, K. l.. apparently before the writ
ing of the former message of peace,
read as follows:
My darling Dar.
II have just missed you all the time.
and have been absolutely miserable
without you. | never would have come
l. J had known you were going to stay
behind. ! feel so selfish and mean
coming away on jaunt and leaving
you to do the work back home.
Dada darling. I've been so lonesome
without you, you don't know.
81 have a call in for you and while
wait | am writing to you. | would
have done so sooner. but | expected
you to come every minute.
"lf don't hear from you shall take
the | o'clock train for y. Y. and join
my darling little family, which miss

so sweetiy and did everything just
right; got all my clothes cleaned. |

Thanks, and thanks again. sweetie
boy. and with all the love in the world.
Your loving wife kisses you.
DADA GIRL"
Dreams of Home Life
Another missive, following the ar
rival of a gift cook book from De
Saulles, pictured the delights of home
together, which appeared to be the
dream of the young wife during the
months OF their separation. The letter,
dated August 6, 1913. said:
Darling Dada Boy: ! was so glad TO
get your note this morning. and as
read to-day's omen hoped it would be
true. Many. many thanks for thinking
Of ne and sending NE that lovely cool;
book As soon as we are in our little
home well try them all, wont We?
