HUSBAND WAS
 FOND OF MAID
Jury Finds Henry Mcclure; Noted Publisher, Guilty
 in Divorce Suit.

New York. April A jury last night exonerated Mrs. Frances G. Mcclure and found her husband, Henry II. Mcclure. well known pub fisher, guilty of misconduct with a servant in the Mcclure home.
 The verdict brought in before Jus t1ce McAvoy, ended a suit in which charges and counter charges flew thick and fast in a divorce action filed by Mrs. Mcclure. The first trial Clure's attorney, Edward L. Mooney called McClure's lawyer, Harold T. Marshall, "a blundering fool.''
 The verdict was returned at 9:45 last night, after the jury had deIiber- ated more than four hours. Mrs. Me- Cure, who was sitting beside her mother, jumped to her feet all smiles. She and her mother kissed enthusi- astically. She then shook hands with Neal E. White, whom Mcclure had named as correspondent.
 At both trials witnesses testified Mrs. Mcclure and Neil White were found in her room early one morning after they thought Mcclure had gone to business. Both declared White had entered the room to hand Mrs. Mcclure a, bottle of headache cologne. Mrs. Mcclure, in counter-accusa- tions, declared Mcclure had confessed to Stephen c. Baldwin, their mutual friend, his infatuation for a maid in the house.
 Attorney Mooney, in addressing the 1 jury yesterday, said the evidence was | plain concerning the latter auega | tion. He said:
 Mcclure admitted kissing tht servant, stating he did so while un- 1 der the influence of liquor. All that remained to be done, the plaintiff be- l ing then willing the defendant should i get a divorce, was to agree upon the l alimony.
 1 But some wicked, evil-nindet person put it into the head of Nc ! Cure that there was a. better way O. 1 getting rid of his wife-that there
 was no need of paying alimony all hi life.

LITTLE TALKS BY
BEA TRICE FAIRFAX

Is woman justified in marrying
for home?
Read the letter l have just re-
ceived from girl who is evidently
strongly tempted to do precisely
this:
May l ask your opinion on a
matter of great importance to Il
young lady who was engaged sew
eral months ago to u young man
whom she did not love, with the
understanding that perhaps after
an engagement of six months she
would possibly learn to love him.
"As time has elapsed she cannot
do so and is at Il loss to know just
what to do. She needs a home, as
at present she is boarding with
strangers and works for a living.
Would you advise a marriage with
out love on the girls part. if the
young man in question loves her
very dearly and is willing to marry
her in spite of the fact that she
does not care for him? He would
like a very early marriage"
It's a situation very easy to un-
derstand.
The girl wants what love will
bring. but because she doesn't hap
pen to be in love thinks she can do
without love itself. And her persis-
tent suitor urges upon her the un-
importance of this point. You know
his earnest, honest, infatuated type.
Let me do the loving for the
present" he tells her. That is to
say, marry me. All the rest will
come later. Think how little 1 ask
of you. AS for your learning to
love me, that's my risk. I'm will
ing to take it,
That's very persuasive language
to girls of a certain type. A woman
who is inclined to be passive, who
isn't interested in settling her own
fate. is appealed to almost irresist-
IDLY by lover who offers to do
not only all the deciding and ar
ranging but all the loving. too.
Il have chosen YOU" he whis-
pers TO her. II approve you. You
are mine. But l ask of you only
that you lift your adorable foot
and step within the matrimonial
gates. All the rest shall be my
concern alone"
\ Powerful Appeal
You can see how powerfully this
appeal might affect girl who not
only had the qualities / have al
ready described, but who had no
family and no real home and. fur
thermore. wasn't interested in her
job. Such a girl has a highly un-
easy conviction that she ought to
be settled" She believes she would
be thoroughly contented if she had
"a home of her own" Perhaps she
isn't very robust. and people have
always told her that she needs
somebody to take care of her."
Then she knows that she wants
an atmosphere of affection. She
wants comforts without having to
work too hard to get them. She
rather wants. too, what she feels
to be the greater Importance of the
married state.
Well, here is her chance.
Shall she take it?
l believe that many counsellors
would say yes, and that they could
very plausibly support their advice.
Their contention would be that
girl who is willing to devote herself
to becoming ~ good wife" has the

, right to accept from a man love,
support, all that he can give her.
But even though many excellent
people would argue in this fashion,
| feel myself unable to agree with
them.
Marrying for "A home. particularly
in the case of Il girl who admits
she is able to support herself, seems
to me fundamentally serious mis-
take. / really don't know of any
circumstances that justify it,
1t isn't that L don't understand
the miserable loneliness that n girl
can experience who lives alone in
n city where she hasn't many
friends. and who earns, her living
by job that is mere drudgery.
1t isn't that l haven't sympathy
with her craving to create a domes-
tic atmosphere of her own, to be
petted, sheltered, looked out for.
\ Big Price
It's very human craving. AL
most every girl must have days
when she succumbs to it.
But aren't they her weakest
days-the days that afterward she
tries to forget?
A really strong. clear-sighted
woman knows that shelter and Sc
curity are comfortable things-but
that after all they are not the big
Things of life and she must not
pay 10 big "A price for them.
And to exchange for shelter and
security ones freedom. ones shin
ing possibilities of love. ones very
life-don't you think this is too big
a price?
Don't you think it's converting
marriage, which ought to be free
and glorious comradeship. into
rather a sordid and sorry bargain?
And we must not forget that a
bargain of this sort is not only un-
worthy of high-minded. self-re-
spectlng woman, but it's not play
ing fair with the man who mag
unanimously provides the love and
me lodging place, who assumes all
the responsibility and all the risk
and all the material burdens. Not
even II such a man understands the
whole situation, and pleads the
sufi1ciency of his own love, like the
lover in the letter | have quoted, is
1T fair to him.
It's possible, of course, that he
may be right, that determined and
optimistic lover. The marriage that
he urges might be the success he
believes, and a lifetime of happiness
might follow. But l can only re-
peat that if one regards marriage,
or indeed life itself, at all seriously
ana Realistically, marrying without
love is too great risk to take.
A home is very desirable thing,
If the right combination of persons
live in it. 1t can be a wonderful
thing if it is the dwelling-place of
love. But home-four walls and
a roof-what does it count for if it
is the abode of two people who
have merely driven bargain?
