been served with any papers whatsoever
in any action for n separation or other
wise; nor have | received any such
papers for her.
THE fake proceedings in which Tel
legen is so gracefully indulging will
alone justify Miss Farrar in having
nothing further to do with him.
Miss Farrar does not propose to try
her case in the newspapers and regrets
that it has become necessary for me to
make this statement on her behalf.
She has been far too lenient with this
arrogant man as every one will realize
when her side Of the story is told"
All efforts to reach Miss Farrar were
fruitless. 1t also was impossible to learn
where she could be found.
Tellegen at Long Beach
At the home Of Miss Farrar it was
understood that Mr.. Tcllegen's address
was West End, Long Beach.
From a friend of Mr.. Tcllegen it was
learned that the difficulties which have
brought the couple to an impasse largely
we're differences of temperament. He
described Mr.. Tellegen as man very
as being more occupied with artistic
pursuits. Out of this divergence, he
said, had grown many little and even
tually a big misunderstanding.
This misunderstanding was said to
have become pronounced several days
ago when Mr.. Tellegen's tranquility
was upset while on his fishing expedi-
tion BIZ the arrival of the letter from
Miss Farrar's counsel.
The letter abruptly caused a halt lii
the fishing expedition, and despite II
warning in the letter that under no
circumstances are you to approach Mrs.
Tellegen's house or approach her in any
manner" Mr.. Tellegen came directly
from Long Beach and went straight to
the home of Mrs. Tellegen.
He failed to gain an audience with his
wife, as alleged in the complaint, for
the simple reason that the door was
locked and Mr.. Tellegen had failed to
bring a key. When he did bring a key
on a return trip, it was further alleged.
the presence of mind of Mrs. TellCgcn
was indicated by a brand new lock on
the front door.
Mr.. Tellegen, however. was not in
duced to visit his wife's counsel for n
conference. Instead he went to see his
own lawyer, with the result that suit
tor separation was decided upon.
Calls Him Great Lover"
Miss Farrar, who is now lead
lug star of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, was married TO Mr.. Tellegen at
noon on February s, 1918.
In the course of an interview in May
OF last year, given in the dressing room
OF Baltimore theatre, where Mr..
Tellcgen was playing. Miss Farrar la
mcntcd the fact that the modern young
man and young woman know so little
of the art of making love, and among
ether things said:
NO, there is no lovemaking now,
except for Mr.. Tellegcn. lie is one Of
the romantic lovers of old time"
In an article written for New
York newspaper December &c. 1920.
Miss Farrar discussed "A great singers
problem in real life and fiction" apro.
pos of the new novel of Zola Forester.
entitled The Dangerous Inheritance. "
Among other things she said;
TO my mind the employment of the
singing organ is 50 delicntely artificial
and over stimulating that the question of
dual harmony dcvolvcS more upon the
understanding and forbcarsnce of the
man mate than the woman, in the case
of the necessary tranquility and happy
compapionship where the woman is the
professionally gifted one or shares a
musical profession in common with her
husband or artist companion.
