BIRTH OF BOY.
The birth Of his four-year-old son,
Virgil. caused Brewster to change
his attitude Of romantic affection
for her, Mrs. Brewster said.
After the boys birth. she assert
ed, her husband told her that he
wished she had not become a moth
or, and that looking at her In the
role of mother had dulled the edge
of his romantic affection for her as
q helpmate.
WORE ROLLED STOCKINGS.
Corliss Palmer. she said. first at
tracted her husbands attention by
wearing rolled-down stockings when
she was a candidate for a beauty
prize offered by the Brewster pub
lications.
Mrs. Brewster, who looks scarce
~ a day more than twenty. spoke
tn the silvery, modulated voice Of a
woman Of culture.
Her ancestors. she said, included
two Presidents of the United States
Martin Van Buren and John
Quincy Adams-while one Of her
collateral ancestors was related to
George Washington.
THE OTHER TWO.
Mrs. Brewster referred to the
two other women in her husband s
life without apparent emotion. or
the first Mrs. Brewster, whose re-
ported remark that the present
difficulties in the Brewster menage
SERVED her right" she said:
did not take Mr.. Brewster
away from her. / never saw or
heard of her. / did not know
she existed. II was two years
after she got her divorce that /
met Mr.. Brewster.
did not know that Mr..
Brewster had been married before
until the day after we were mar
ried. when l read in a newspaper
account of our wedding about
his having been married before.
POISONED HONEYMOON.
The news almost poisoned the
happiness of my honeymoon. l
reproached him.. He replied:
''All is fair in love and war.
Nothing is wrong when you are
playing for high stakes and / was
playing for the highest stakes in
the world. Never speak to me
about IL again. l will never give
cut of my right arm rather than
have you suffer an hour of un-
happiness. l am as young as
any man of twenty-five. l can
leap fences with any athlete. i
will devote my life to you"
never prevented Mr.. Brewster
from seeing his children, as the
first Mrs. Brewster charges. In
fact, it rather hurt me to see
that he was so indifferent. He
did not show any desire to see
them and l frequently urged him
to see them more often.
COMMENTS ON CORLISS.
Mrs. Brewster was reluctant to
discuss Corliss Palmer, the film
beauty. who replaced her in Brew
ster's affections after four years of
married life. OF her she said:
1t was Miss Palmer's rolled
down stockings and bare knees
that first attracted Mr. Brewster's
attention. She admitted that her
self one day. when she was asked
why she went around with her
stockings rolled down below the
calves of her legs.
ORDERED HER OFT.
1t is no wonder / had to order
Oul VI nOiIle. BREW
ster had told me before / noticed
1t myself that the girl was jealous
Of me. One day when / was
dressing to go out with Mr.. Brew
ster she passed the door of my
boudoir
She looked in and then said:
IF you're going to look like that
/ won't go out with you"
I had on white hat with white
ostrich plumes. I said: eff you
want that. I'll give it to you"
She replied shamefacedly: oh,
! didn't mean that"
GAVE HER HAT.
forced her to take the hat,
which was really becoming to her,
and she often wore IL after that.
Miss Palmer has misstated my
relations with her. 1 never placed
my arms about her and hugged
her. II was Mr.. Brewster, not L.
who overrode the judges in the
beauty contests and made them
turn down Aileen Ray in Miss
Palmer's favor.
From the first, when Mr..
Brewster introduced her into our
household. she insisted on riding
with him on the front seat of the
automobile which she drove. I
rode with him. as a matter of
course.
DISPUTE AT TABLE.
One morning at the breakfast
table she. started discussion
about who should seat herself in
the front seat and suggested that
ride in the rear seat. op-
posed the suggestion which she
put on the ground that the rear
seat was more comfortable Mr.
Brewster then presumed to act
as umpire. He declared:
We'll one of you can sit on
the front seat going in and the
other on the way hack"
/ was too Inundated for words
and said that Mr.. Brewster
would have to provide me with
a car for myself. which he did.
