Then the war--and O sudden de-

ton. Counter-charges flew. An
American architect was named.
In the midst Of it all Captain
French was wounded. In a little
hospital In France where Mrs.
French was ministering to the suf-
ferlng, word came that her husband
was torn by shrapnel from the
enemy's cannon. She went to him
and romance started anew.
But this time, she said, she played
along lines which she considered
"safe.' She had his fortune settled
upon her with the understanding
that the income was to be half
and-half affair until one Of them
should die.
Marriage Certificate
and Purse Halt Chase
And so the former Ida Wynne,
still young but self-possessed,
agreed upon her arrival here to tell
oil about it.
She sat in her sumptuously fur
nished apartment in millionaires'
half-acre in West Fifty-seventh
street, New York, her face spar
king under a lovely plumed hat, her
body graceful and 1.-the in a thou
sand-dollar frock Of black and pea
cock green.
And quite frank about things was
this new owner Of the French mil
lions, which were inherited by her
husband at the age Of fourteen from
the third Lord de Freyns, his grand
father and owner Of the Brahma-
pootra Tea Company, which was
handed down to him by its founder,
Hugh Mair, of Lochlomond Castle.
+. II think you will agree" said Mrs.
French, sitting upon the edge Of the
big upholstered chair, II think you
will agree that the only two reins on
man are his purse and a marriage
certificate, and when they are tied
up he certainly won't be chased
after very much. Do you know, I
believe that when a woman knows
she cannot marry a man and realizes
his money is tied up In such fashion
that she can't get very much Of it,
she just says, What's the use?' and
leaves him alone. She might 60
about with man, under conditions
like these, just for the enjoyment Of
his company, but believe he will
be safe from danger and be pre-
served for his wife"
