NEW YORK, May %. - Fannie

lated a set OF rules for a happy
married life that she is sure will
prove workable. She speaks by the

The couple meet only by appoint
ment; they maintain separate studio
apartments: they have averaged two
breakfasts a week together since the
ceremony, and when the pianist
wishes to take his author-wife 10 the
theater or for a motor trip he must,
by terms OF their understanding,
either call by telephone or otherwise
communicate hts desire TO Miss

Here Are Some Rules.
Here are some OF the rules or
Miss Hurst makes tor
the guidance of young couples:
Two breakfasts a week together
are enough. Seven might prove irk-
some 20 both parties.
II children bless the union let
them bear the paternal name until
they reach years of discretion. when
they can make their own choice.
Let the wife retain the use OF her
own name.
Marriage should not interfere with
the studies or pursuits of either
party. therefore they must live sep
arately. maintaining two apartments
and meeting per inclination, not
duty" and having separate groups
OF friends.
That reither should have TO &C
count for the time spent away from
the other. That the husband must
telephone for a dinner engagement
exactly the same as other friends OF
the bride.
Design Own Bark
"Our marriage IS the result Of very
definite theories concerning we'd
lock" said Miss Hurst. We decided
10 sail into the sea OF matrimony on
a bark OF our own designing. And IL

Miss Hurst laughingly said she
was born in st. Louis in 1880 and
that her husband was born in PetrO-
grad. then st. Petersburg, SO years
ago. but came 10 America more than
90 years back. She said her hus-
band was quite in accord with the
idea Of the trial." and added:
Being firmly of the opinion that
nine out OF ten OF the alliances 1

fungi Of familiarity and contempt,

sacred human relationship wears off

tons concerning what my marriage
should not be.
Not Result of Fad.
First of all. 1 am anxious to en-
hasize that our marriage was neither
the result of fad nor an ISM but
simply the working out of a prob
lem according TO the highly special
lied needs Of two professional
PEOPLE.
Fortunately. by grace. doubtless,

gether. Mr.. Danielson felt strongly In
accord with me.
I'VE decided that our marriage
should in no wise interfere with my
work or my studies My writing
output has doubled since May, 1915.
we decided TO live separately,
maintaining our individual studio
apartments and meeting per inclina-
ton. not duty.
We decided that seven breakfasts
a week opposite one another might
prove irksome. Our average is two.
We decided that invariably being
invited 10 the same social functions
might eventually resolve itself into
the usual married wrangle or drag
ging one another TO places we did
not want 10 go. We have main
tanned our separate groups OF friends.
We decided that the aRtediluvian
custom OF a woms n casting aside the
name that had become so much a
part OF her personality as the color
OF her eyes had neither rhyme nor
reason. 1 was born Fannie Hurst
