they got the divorce.
 This time De Saulles was very ugly
 about the divorce. He said that he
 would never let the boy go and would
 fight her in every court in America
 for him. She consulted her attorneys.
 They advised her that the matter was 1 complicated. that the husband had
 rights which the courts were bound to
 consider and that the courts would
 take Into consideration, that if she l went to her native land with the boy,
 he might be brought up a Chilean and lose his American nationality. On the
 strength of this advice, she permitted l her lawyers to sign the stipulation by
 which he was to have the child for
 five months"
 Shortly after this on Aug 16, 1916,
 her brother William, who has been
 with her at the trial, came to this
 country from England, where he had l been on the Chilean Legation, and found her om the verge of nervous prostrauon, he said.
 1 During the divorce proceedings Mrs, De Saulles remembered, the lawyer
 said, that the house where they lived in East Sventy-eighth street had been 1 bought with her money and thought
 that she ought to have the money. But her lawyers advised h. CT not ] to press the claim," said MT. liter. l hart "They said that they were in / the midst of delicate negotiations with De Saulles, and that this claim, If put
 forward, would disturb those neeotia- 1 tions. This was enough for her. Af-
 ter this advice she had nothing to 1 say"
 Now, I am going to tell you some- l h x1
 1 only one of the sordid things that this young woman had to face continually l during her life with this man. Be-
 fore he left he told his wife that he was going to furnish their house with furniture that he had got from Geo. Young; that George Young owed him lot of money, and that he was talk ing the furniture dn payment A lit tie after he had gone George Young came for the money. He said he knew nothing about the debt He showed cablegram from De Saulles telling him to collect the money from his wife. She paid it without a word.
 He stayed in Europe much longer than two weeks and finally cabled her to join him in London. Her money was by this time running low, but she. went across the ocean to him never theless. When he met her in London he told her that all the rooms at the Hotel Berkeley where he was stopping were taken and that she would have to stay elsewhere. She said that she would stay with him, and ten sug- would stay with him, and then sug- other hotel, but he said that the hotel was his business headquarters and that he could not leave it. He asked her to stay with her friend. Miss Munos, and she did.
 This caused a great scandal among her Chilean friends in London, who looked upon it as quite unusual. She saw little of De Saulles. One time when she went to speak to him she went to the Berkeley and asked for him.
 "Who are you?' said the clerk
 T am his wife, she replied.
 Which one?' said the clerk
 There was slight ripple among the spectators at this Uterhart turned to- l ward them and said:
 That may sound funny to some people, but it wasn't funny for a, lit l tic girl only 10 years old.'
 He went to Paris shortly after that i and would not take her. saying that | Paris was no place for her. accord L. the United States. She had only been in New York a short, time when she got a cable to come to Paris at once, he said. She was packing up. when she got another cable not come.
 "She hired new servants and start ed to keep the house again. said MT. Uterhart when another cable came saying:
 "'Have taken apartments at Paris. Come at once
 "She had hardly got ready again when she got another cablegram to stay at home. A little later she got a third summons to Paris. This time she had her trunks on board the steamer and a taxicab outside. when she got another cable not to come. returning to America without delay.
 Ut was not until May 16, however, 1 that he did arrive home. When he got 1 back he was drinking very heavily If l he was home at dinner, he would fall 1 asleep after it, if he did not go out l with friends of his own type to all night cabarets.'
 Finally his escapades became so 1 notorious and intolerable, the lawyer 1 said that Mrs. De Saulles made up her mind to give him up. One night l she had a heart to- heart talk with 1 him and told her state of mind. His reply, according to the lawyer, was:
 "'I guess you are right. I could 1 never live a married life and settle down. You get a divorce and take 1 the boy
 "But this was not so easy" Uter- l hart said, flor this young woman who came from a country and religion where marriage is regarded as a sac rament which is indissoluble by any | human agency Instead of getting a divorce she separated from her hus- 1 band and went to live in Chile.
