on Honeymoon, She Says.

Charles B. Chisholm, OF this city,
whose husband places valuation OF
100000 on her affections in an alien
alton suit against william c. Parker,
OF Morristown. N. j.. yesterday said TO
her mother:
Keep quiet about this for the pres
ent. When the case comes to head
will have plenty to say"
Reports were denied that Mrs.
Chisholm will rejoin her husband and
give up her present position in Man
haitian, which pays her SIS week.
She chose this position rather than
accept further benefit at the hands OF
Chisholm after he had demanded that
she elope with Parker, wealthy
photographer
Mrs. chisholm's mother, Mrs. Fred
erick Becker. said:
My daughter called me by tele-
phone from Manhattan a. few hours
ago. She didn't seem downcast or
worried. She told me that the truth
would come out and asked me TO keep
quiet until the case is tried. As to her
work, | think she will continue. She
10 smart and well able to take care OF
herself"
WAS A "GOOD PROVIDER.'
When asked II her daughter loved
her husband or preferred Parker. as
was alleged in papers filed last We'd
nesday by Chisholm in the New Jer-
sey Supreme Court at Trenton, MIS-.
Becker replied
I'VE all think a great deal OF Mr..
Chisholm. l am sure my daughter re-
CARDS him very highly. He was
good husband and a good provider. MY
daughter will not express her stand
other than to say that she adheres TO
her original statement as made 10
Mr.. Chish olms attorney in the pres
ence of Chisholm"
This statement, as contained In the
alienation complaint, alleges that
Mrs. Chisholm declared her love Tor
Parker as 'the best man in all the
world" and her respect" for her hus-
band as one of the kindest men
alive"
DISTURBED OVER INTERVIEW.
Mrs. Parker was deeply disturbed
over interviews attributed to Mrs.
Parker, wife of the defendant and
mother Of his two sons. Mrs. Parker
Is quoted as saying she was happy
that her husband met the test when
II came and elected to remain with
his family rather than comply with
Chisholms demand that he take the
latter's wife or face suit. Mrs
Parker added:
I'VE have known Mrs. Chisholm
We met her one summer at Culver's
Lake before she was married to Mr
Chisholm. She was then a teacher.
She is rather a silly woman, II seems
to me, although l may be prejudiced
She is blonde, with pretty pro-
file, the sort OF woman who demands
and gets lot Of attention from nen.
she influenced my husband by
flattering him, but l do not think
.k x,<l, h In,
found such a silly, soft, slushy letter
from her once. And she gave him
presents. l sent a silver cigarette
holder back to her husband and re-
Quested from her the immediate re-
turn of a silk bag which my husband
had given her. The bag came back
and understand Mr.. Chisholm re-
placed it with handsome beaded
one"
HER MOTHER BLAMES PARKER.
Mrs. Chisholm's mother met the
above statements as follows:
This is a Misrepresentation OF
fact. 1t is only one more instance
in which my girl is attacked un-
round. Parker is talking and say
ing many things. He would let the
woman bear this while he is Snug
and self-satisfied.
1T was Parker who did all the
fiattering. 1t was Parker who ap-
preached my daughter with pres
ents and honeyed words. Mean
while my daughter is willing to let
the others have their say and Is
keeping herself out of it and at
tending to her own business until
the proper time comes for a COM
piete statement
81 LOVE YOU" LETTERs.
Attorneys for Chisholm are said to
have In their possession many letters
from Parker to Mrs. Chisholm which
extend over a period of two years
They are alleged to have been sur
rendered voluntarily by Mrs. CHS
holm to her husband, and probably
will be utilized in the alienation suit.
They are reported to be highly af-
fectionate in tone.
One of them is quoted as beginning
with the salutation My dearest girl
in the world" The frequent use Of
the declaration I love you" is en-
ployed In this and other missives
from Parker to the woman he is said
to have refused to take" from CHS
holm, according to the attorneys.
