Back to Country Estate
! After Recovery.

BOSTON, April 26.-Pcacc and
contentmcnt reign once more in
the family of Charles A. Garland,
North Carver idcalist, millionaire,
and exponent of free love. The
cause of this latest turn Of af-
fairs in the Garland family IS
the arrival Of bouncing baby
boy.
Tho little fellow came into the
world at Phillips House, Massa.
chusetts General Hospital. Both the
mother, Mary Wrenn Garland, and
the new arrival are doing nicely.
Garland was at the hospital when
the little fellow was ushered into the
world, and was evidently quite
pleased.

to carry on his name, the eccentric
millionaire, whose name was linked

time Of late at the little white house
in Dedham which the wife fitted up
last winter when she decided she
would not live at North Carver.
Occasional visits to Dedham by
Garland soon developed into reg

just about evenly divided between
the two places.
May End Life As Reclusc.
Garland, as the happy father
beaming upon his little son, seemed
an entirely different individual from
the recluse who recently dlscoursed
upon his rather peculiar ideas Of love
and married life. Eut whether this
change in him will lead to his
North Carver idea and returning to
the life and society into which nc
was born, is as yet problematicai.
The little retreat at North Carver,
formerly the "love nest where Lii.

lived openly as man and wife, is be-
