Mrs. Wallick's Suit
Violates Agreement,
Mrs. Hirsch CHARGES
Promised, in Consideration
of Property, Not to Bring
Action Based on Domes-
tic Troubles, She Says

Mrs. Mae Hirsh, who is being sued
by Mrs. Estelle X. Wallick for the al
legged alienation of the affections of
London |. Wallick, formerly one of the
owners of the Hotel Wallck, has filed
in the Supreme Court a copy Of an
agreement made last May by Mr.. and
Mrs. Wallick, under which the wife
agreed, in consideration of certain
property, not to bring any suits based
on her matrimonial troubles. Mrs.
Wallck also sued for divorce in
Brooklyn.
In her answer to the alienation ac-
ton. Mrs. Hirsh denied the charges of
Mrs. Wallick, and also referred to the
agreement of last May. The plaintiff
asked for bill Of particulars regard
ing the mentioned agreement, which
the defendant furnished yesterday.
The document under which Mrs.
Hirsh contends Mrs. Wallck barred
herself from bringing any proceedings
reads: "For and in consideration of 81
to me in hand paid by London l. Wal
lick. the receipt whereof is hereby ac-
knowledged, I agree that l will not
bring any action against any person
whomsoever on account of the domes-
tic trouble existing between London 1.
Wallick and myself"
Mrs. Hirsh alleges that Mrs. Wallick
also promised orally that she would
not bring an action against her or
Mr.. Wallick.
In consideration of this promise, the
wife, according to Mrs. Hirsh, received
from her husband, certain personal
property and certain property rights
belonging to the husband. Mrs. Hirsh
says she believes there were other con-
siderations, but is not certain what
these were.
Mrs. Hirsh also alleges that soon
after Mrs. Wallick was married to the
hotel man in 1911, she began to oppose
and disregard his wishes, to neglect
him and her household duties, to incur
extravagant expenses, to contract bills
in his name against Mr.. Wallick's in
structions and protests for articles
which were not necessary for her sta
tion in life and to treat his wishes with
Indifference. Also, it is alleged, Mrs.
Wallick frequently quarrelled with her
husband over the purchase of house
at Carthage, N. Y, and refused to per-
form her duties as housewife. This
alleged conduct, says Mrs. Hirsh, con-
tinued to May, 1919, when the above
agreement was made

pressed ON Lawmakers

The number of children constituting
the wards of charitable institutions in
this state has decreased, according to
the fifty-third annual report submit
ted by the State Board Of Charities to
the Legislature yesterday. The report
also calls attention to the change that
has taken place in the population Of
the institutions throughout the state.
Contrary to expectation, the total
number Of children in institutions has
shown q falling off, although an In
crease had been looked for duo to the
influenza epidemic.
The reformatory institutions have
also found change in their popula-
tions, according to the report, so that
arrangements created years ago to
care for inmates of normal intelligence
are now proclaimed unsuited to the
large number of subnormal persons in
these institutions. The report urges
that new provisions be made to meet
the new problem. Following ARE some
facts and figures contained in the
report:

at public expense, 61,028 are found
either in private institutions, boarding
homes, or cared for by their own
mothers with assistance from the state.
There are also 1888 children being
given temporary care in day nurseries
or temporary homes; 40.597 children
are benefcaries Of fresh air charities
and 1880 are being cared for in their
homes. Commitments for delinquency
during the year have decreased from
4,3o5 in 1913 to 4,102. There are 2,064
deaf and blind children being cared for
in the institutions, which is an in
crease Of forty-one children since last
for destitution or improper guardian
ship, which is less than in 1918, when
the number was 22,217.
There has been steady decrease
since 1915, when the figures were 25,-
347. The number of children being
cared for under the so-called widows
1915 d9 it was 5,375, while in 1919 It was
22,s2l. It is generally supposed that
all the children in homes for children
are orphans, but the report shows that
6,6o5 have both parents living, $3.50
orphans. There are 483 foundlings or
illegitimate children, and 211 about
whose parents nothing is known.
The report also presents statistics
relative to hospitals and dispensaries.

':Dignity in Dress Urged
Or Women Workers of City
Only Way Prejudice in a n-Ruled Office Can Be
Overcome, Club Federation Members Are
Told; BE Happy at Work Quit, Is Advice

Discussion Of tho topic, "Standards
in Business and Professions" before
the afternoon session of. the New York
State convention of the Federation
OF Business and Professional Women's
Clubs yesterday in the Biltmore, gave
rise to divergence of views concern
ing feminine dress proprieties in Offices
dominated by masculine authority.
Miss Florence Spencer vice-presi-
dent Of the National Federation of
Business and Professional Women's
Clubs, opened the debate on the topic.
1t was the most detrimental thing in
the career of business woman, she
said, that as an employee in man.
ruled office she should be the victim
OF prejudice. This prejudice must be
overcome, she declared, by more digni-
fed dress In short, if the boss is q
conservative dresser there was no rea-
son why he should be unnecessarily Of
Tended, and his. dignity should be that
OF the office force, man and maid alike.
Agreement was accorded by Mrs.
Christine R. Kefauver, supervising in
spector of the bureau of Industrial
hygiene, Department Of Health, who
thought that women are placing them
selves at great disadvantages by lack

dress" The men. she added, resent
the sight of "gowns obviously designed
for afternoon teas or other occasions"
in the daily conduct of the business
office.
"There is very natural feeling,
too," she remarked, "that the wife of
the man in charge Of an Office is slow
to accept the young woman employee
for her true ability and WORTH" and
that such lack of judgment is often
closely related to the style Of dress
worn.
To Miss Eugenia Wallace. personnel
manager Of the Y. W. C. A., who opened
a discussion on "Ethics in Business
and Professions" dress was far less
important thing to consider than the
real place of the young woman in bust

ing, Nelson Declares

College professors, men as we'll a.
women, are obliged to do their own
housework and to sell out their life
insurance policies to buy bread, accord
ing to President William Allan Neil
son Of Smith College. who was the chief
speaker at luncheon of Smith College
Club at the Hotel Pennsylvania yester-
day.

"By and by this country will wake
up to find that the only people teaching
school are those who are not wanted
anywhere else. The quality of our
teachers has been deteriorating steadily
for the last twenty years, and to-day
the young. man or woman of enterprise,
energy and ambition is refusing to en-
ter the profession.
Hundreds of schoolhouses through
out the country are closed for lack Of
teachers, and by another year that
number will reach the thousands in
many states"
Need Money for Salaries
President Nelson explained the
drive for $4,0OO,0o0 which the Smith
alumn@ are conducting by appealing
to every Smith in the United States
to come to the rescue of the family's
college.
The money is needed to raise sala-
ries of professors, not for splendid
new buildings or extravagant equip
ment, he said. 1t is impossible to
raise the tuition fees, he added with
out closing the doors of the college to
the great middle class of American
girls, the daughters Of small-salaried
men, who are the Every heart Of the
college"
He pointed out that the educated
people of the country, the people
whose sons and daughters had gone
to college, were the financial backbone
of the nations prosperity to-day.
The gloomy future for the teaching
profession painted by President Mel
son was frightened, somewhat. by the
speech of Mrs. Josephine Dodge Daskam
Bacon, who visioned a day when the
college professor would be restored to
place of honor.
Fund Reaches $764,259
"The day will come when the mil
lionaire plumber will ask his son what
career he wishes to adopt, and the
son will say 4 shall become a member
Of the most stylish and exclusive pro-
fession--I shall be college professor.
In twenty years everything will be all
right again, for the fruit Of the propa-
ganda we are now sowing will be reaped
and we shall have decided to pay
school teachers large enough salaries 3
so young people will again consider
teaching as life work.
1t was announced the campaign fund
has now reached total of $764,259.
That has been subscribed by 1913 indi-
viduals, in gifts ranging from 81 to
$250,000 from the Russell Sage Founda-
tion.
At the end of the luncheon tableau
Of the "Smith Family Album" was
shown. Miss Sophia Smith, a grand
niece Of the Sophia Smith who founded d

Mary Garden Makes
Superb Louise in
The Last Act
Stars Impersonation Ends
Better Than 1t Begins,
Though She Never Really
Sings Her Great Air

Was it Louise" or Miss Mary Gar
den who packed the Lexington Theater
yesterday afternoon? Probably it was
both, but we are of the opinion that
if Charpentier's opera was given at the
Metropolitan it would prove equally as
popular, even without the ministra-
t1ons Of Mary the Unapproachable.
Louise" is a work that wears we'll.
1t seemed last night as fresh and as
poignant and as vital as it did on that
memorable night at the Manhattan,
thirteen years ago. More and more it
begins to appear q work worthy to
stand with the masterpieces Of the
French lyric stage, if not with "Car-
men" and Faust" at least with
Romeo" and "Manon." 1t is work
of extraordinary sincerity, rich in hu-
manity, poetry, tragedy. 1t is work
which, if not truly original musically,
is vet original in the manner in which
the, composer has handled his melodic
and rhythmic ideas. Above all, it is
sincerity. We who love it feel that it
will live
Miss Gardens impersonation ends
better than it begins. In the first act
she is too sophisticated, but in the
last, when the intoxication Of Paris
seizes her, she is superb. OF course,
she never really sings her great air,
yet she manages to color It. as she
does all her lines. But If she would
only leave out her panther stride! It
was all very we'll in "ThaYs" and "Sa-
lome," but in Louise" 1t is utterly out
Of place. Partisan midinettes do not
have the grand air-at least, before
they've left home.
Hector Dufranne was, as ever, superb
as the father, and Nine. Claessens ex-
cellent as the mother, while of the
smaller parts mention is due to the ad-
mirabe singing of Miss Myrna Shar-
low as Irma and the acting of Miss
Gabrielle Klink as the Apprentice. Of
the Julian of Mr.. Fontaine nothing
much can be said. either for or against
Mr.. Charlier conducted in his custom
ary fashion. The scenery was that of
old Manhattan days, and considerably
the worse for wear.
In the evening La Boheme was sung,
with Mr.. Bonci as Rodolfo and Miss
Evelyn Herbert as Mimi. Miss Herbert
was as graceful and gracious a grsette
as ever appeared before an audience.
Her voice is not yet free from an acid
quality, nor is it entirely uniform in
timbre, but it is an organ of distinct
possibilities. Mr.. Bonci has sung Ro-
dolfo more perfectly, but the huge au-
dience was none the less hugely
pleased. Others in the cast were Irene
Pavloska, Giacomo Rimini, Virgilio
Lazzari, Desire Defrere and Francesca
Daddi, Mr.. de Angels conducted.

In Percussion Instruments

Children who went to Aeolan Hall
yesterday morning were initiated into
the mysteries of percussion instru-

tlons in relation to the orchestra, by
Walter Damrosch and the New York
Symphony Society. A rapturous re-
ception was accorded a solo by the
gay xylophone, played by Mr. Borod-
kin, which from the children's point
Of view was the most thrilling mo-
ment of the concert. Other pieces
chosen to illustrate the activities of
this interesting musical family were
Saint-Saens's "Gypsy" and "Scotch

dances by Dvorak, the Intermezzo
from Delibes's "Naila" and the Coro-
