FARRAR SPURNS

His Emissaries Sought Truce, It
Is Now Revealed, and Re-
fusal Caused Suit.

NEW YORK. Aug S.-"Be recon
cilcd with Mr.. Tellegen and live with
him again? Absolutely not! 1t is
waste Of time to suggest it,"
Such. It was learned yesterday. was
the reply OF Geraldine Farrar to elev.
enth. hour proposals that she and Lou
Tellegen bury the matrimonial Ratchet
and continue to break bread-occasion-
ally, at least-under the same roof.
IL was disclosed further that this
abrupt and decisive reply of Miss Far
rar to emissareis bearing the olive
branch from Tellegen resulted in his
declaration. in turn. Of war to the end.
From the same source Of informa-
ton came the statement that perhaps
both men and women of prominence
will be drawn into this clash Of artistic
temperaments to be used in an effort
to prove charges that they influenced
the principals against each other.
No Change In Plan.
The understanding is that neither
Tellegen nor Miss Farrar has the
slightest intention of changing plans
for separation in order to sue for full
divorce, even in a State where the
mere tossing of a coffee cup at one
connubial partner may give the other
grounds for divorce, no matter how
bad the aim.
Meanwhile both Miss Farrar and
Tellegen continued TO be invisible to
newspaper interviewers yesterday. At
the Farrar home. No. 20 West Sew
enty-fourth street-which only short
time ago was the joint Tellegen-Farrar
home-the butler said that Miss Far
rar had gone to the country for the
day.
At the Ritz-Carlton, where Tellegen
maintains separation campaign head
quarters, 1t was said that he still was
refusing even to answer the telephone.
1t was learned from a friend that he
spent the day motoring.
Something Interesting"
Harry n. Steinfeid, OF No. l4s West
Forty-second street. counsel for Tel
Iegen, was found at the Ostend Hotel,
Far Rockaway. He refused to say
anything except to state. graphically:
There may be something very in
teresting tomorrow.
II was established that this some
thing interesting" is based on visits
that Miss Farrar made to Tellegen's
shore retreat at Long Beach-vtsits
that finally resulted in the bolts Of the
Farrar home being always on the job
when Tellegen appeared at the portals.
OF course, IL is well known that
an actor like Tellegen, who was
once leading man for Bernhard, and
since has been famous for his por-
travail of romantic roles on stage
and screen, and Miss FarraS who
is reported to be the highes priced
songbird on the roster Of the Metro
politan Opera House, have Nmany
friends. masculine and fernipine. out
side their professional orbits.
Who Will BE Dragged In?
Now the big question appears to
be: Which Of these friends are
going to be dragged into publicity
''if by agreement, the matter cannot
be settled more amicably."
There were strong indications last
night that this "amicable settlement
might be the answer to the whole
affair. That Is, a settlement that
will separate the two matrimonially.
but will not leave any psychic bruises
on either. and will avert a public
court action with a parade of the
names Of friends Of each.
Today may disclose whether this
will be teh answer. And friends of
