wife's Views on Matrimony Quite AL
Right With Him, Says j. 8. Daniel
SON; VIII Keep System.

New York, May 4.-"Of course, l
agree with my wife on the sort OIL
marriage we entered into" was d
declaration to-day Of Jacques s. Dam
ielson, musical composer and pianist,
who jumped into new fame yesterday
when his secret marriage five years
ago with Fannie Hurst, novelist, was
announced by Miss Hurst. The bride
still retains her maiden name n
says she intends to continue so doing.
Her husband continued:
"If l had not agreed with my wife,
how do you suppose we ever would
have been married. We decided to
announce the wedding now because
we were tired of keeping 1t a secret.
Six persons knew of our marriage,
besides Miss Hurst's parents, and In
FIVE years not one of them has ever
mentioned it, How's that for a rec
ord? r. gCt~
I'VE shall go on doing the same as
ever. l have my studio in Carnegie
Hall, and Miss Hurst will do her
work at home, and when we want to
make appointments with one another
well call each other up and ask each
others consent. 1t is the only sensi-
BILE way. II more people did 1t mar
rage would not become so boresome
and there would be fewer unhappy
couples"
Friends of both Mr.. Danielson and
Miss Hurst wondered to-day why they
were so blind as to have failed to no.
tice that, despite the fact that they
maintain separate studios for their
work, Mr.. Danielson's telephonenum
Der and home address and those OF
Miss Hurst were identical for some
time back. Miss Hurst laughed to-
day when this was called to her at
tention.
81 know. Wasn't 1t funny" she
said. "All the time nobody guessed.
| suppose that was pure luck. All
you have to do to hide anything is
to stick it right under peoples noses.
They'll never see 1t then"
Miss Hurst laughed again when
asked where they were going on their
honeymoon.
I'VE won't go on any honeymoon"
she said. "A five-year-old honeymoon
would be rather stale, don't you
Think"
Miss Hurst was asked II she was
serious when she said that nine out
of ten of her married friends were I'M
happy in fulfilling the terms of the
conventional marriage contract.
"Oh, yes," she said. II meant 1t.
/ am not a pessimist, but l see I'M
rest every where among married per-
sons-men pulling and straining at
their bonds and women FESTIVE and
unhappy. AS an institution, marriage
has not worked out we'll and the re-
bellion against 1t Is widespread"
Miss Hurst rdwells in an uptown
apartment whose decorations and
furniture may, perhaps, be best de-
scribed by suggesting that the rooms
could be a model for a motion pic
ture director who wishes sets of ORR
entail magnificence.
1t was suggested to her that the
experiment that has worked so well
with her and her husband might not
be a remedy for the shortcomings of
marriage under the conventional ar
rangements because Of the expense
involved In separate establishments.
81 said that this working out of
the problem was only for highly spec
ialized professional people," she ex-
planned. But with the new eco
nomic status of women which is fast
approaching, the idea can have a
wider social scope and prove helpful
to a larger and larger number Of
