1t was an astonishing situation, to say
the least! And what could possibly have

feel at being thus arbitrarily and cruelty
thrust into the cold, regarded as though he
had never been-absolutely ignored, his

husband, Mrs. Hemmick complained,
wearied of It all and grew tired, too, of the
inelegant fumes that issue from soap fac
tory. At last, she sighed, he appeared no
more at the factory.
They went from Washington to New
York and Joined the upper bohemian
stratum. Their apartment at the Hotel
des Artistes was a centre for actors and
playwrights. Mrs. Hemmick gave there
reception to her friend, Nine. Yorska.
There we're held meetings of the directors
OF the Actors and Authors Theatre, in
which she was prominent Her husband
conceived q desire to own play. She
bought from Walter Knight share in the

The Washington times., 1920-01-18

Christian Hemmick is just back from
Geneva. He is the very man. You never
saw a handsomer one" friend was en-
thusiastic
"Do bring him around" The friend
brought the handsome Mr.. Hemmick Mrs.
barney asked him to play the role. He
bowed, saying, Il would be charmed" 1t
must be admitted that as the man in the
moon he would cause the pupils of any
girls school to look twice or ten times.
Mrs. Barney, wore a Spanish costume and
did Spanish dance. The man in the
moon was her partner.
Thereafter they were frequently seen
together.
The bride desired that the ceremonial
of the BAHIA religion of her adoption be
used. The young bridegroom insisted that
1t be solemnized according to the ritual
Of the Roman Catholic Church. The bride
yielded the point, although her profession
of faith in Bahaism was renewed Her
daughters. who have lived in Paris since
their mother presented them a step.papa,
are also Bahaists.
Perhaps the church's repugnance to di
vorce is one cause of Mrs Barney's
strange way of dropping her husband.
For she says: mo, shan't get a di-
vorce. Why bother?"
Why, indeed, when the way she has
chosen seems so simple?
1t would be counted by most hardship
to be separated from the very beautiful
homes Mrs. Barney has built for herself
from her millions. Her studios are
famous among artists the world over. In
the Roman interior of the Sheridan Circle
house she has had a small bedchamber
built close to her atelier So that she may
in sleeping be near to the influence of the
exquisite art treasures It contains. The
roof garden is special hobby OF hers
and from II one of the most magncent
and far.stretching views is obtained. In
one apartment are the famous ancient
tapestries OF Count de rAllemss1d por-
traying the wanderings of Ulysses.
Her other homes are equally wonderful
in their accumulation Of treasures. l.

the lutte OF her matrimonial happi-
ness included one striking detail -
Chris looks as strong as a Greek -
athlete" she said to a friend, "but
he is really in frail health. After
he and / would discuss personal
matters he would close his lips and
utter a sound like escaping steam or the
kissing of snakes. It was terrifying!
1t was we'll known to few friends that
at this time, year ago, Mrs. Hemmick
seriously considered obtaining divorce
But she was aghast when she learned that
there is but one reason for divorce in
New York. J
How crude" she said. Then, Of
course, | can't get it here"
Establish a residence in New Jersey
and sue for desertion," was the counsel
of her sympathizers.
Mrs. Hemmick shrugged her aesthetic
shoulders.
Il just couldn't live in New jersey" she
said Besides, Christian doesn't want a
divorce l can't bring him to see that 1t
will be best for both. He has called and
we have talked about II several times"
Came then a removal from the Hotel

and Mrs. Hemmick, wearying Of New
York and Bohemia, returned to Washing.
ton. At nearly the same time Mr.. Hem
mick assumed a new role in the drama
of livelihood earning. He turned broker.
Whether or not this new venture was
the result of an arrangement between
Mrs. Hemmick and her once lord is only
surmised. But many believe that the
couple had reached an understanding and
that Mr.. Hemmick agreed to the separa-
ton and to being erased from his wife's
visiting cards.
The separation Of Mr. and Mrs. Hem
mick appears to be the end of what
started nine years ago as one Of the most
romantic episodes that ever stirred Wash
ington society. Mrs. Barney, who was then
widow, and occupying her mind with
writing and staging plays was on one
occasion rehearsing her play THE Man in
the Moon" for the Sylvan Theatre, which
she had persuaded the Government to
open at Washington.

man for the part of the man In the moon"
said Mrs. Barney. Where can ] find one
young enough and handsome enough"
The Washington times., 1920-01-18

There were quarrels in
which the wife and her SON
like husband spoke their
minds to each other. Once,
it is said, he flung his arm
in a disdainful gesture that
included his spouse's paint
ings.
They're punk" his cruel
remark is quoted.
But it is work." she re-
torted. You won't do any
work"
The friends who received
Mrs. Hemmick's condolences
heard OF her efforts to in
culcate industry.
His father was Consul at
Geneva, and Christian
thought he wanted to be a
diplomat. I paid for lessons
in diplomacy, but he wouldn't
