 ''W. L. Georges assertion that any marriage is better than none is ridicu1ous-that's what makes all the trouble today, any marriage at all.

New York March As a, woman unwise not to marry her first love at any cost?
 Does remembrance of former love spoil the possibility of future mar ried happiness
 Did Katherine Elkins choose wisely in 1911 when she decided she could not marry the Duke of the Abruzzi?
 All these questions are brought to mind by the news that Mrs. Rather inc Elkins Hit has obtained in Paris a divorce from William E. R. Hit. Hailed As Solution In 1918 this marriage was hailed by Washington society, in fact by in ternational social circles as a very sane solution of the problem that had so sore1y tried the daughter of the late Senator Stephen B. Elkins. Pre- viously, since 1908, she had been courted ardently by the Duke of the Abruzzi, who is a cousin of the King of Italy. Their mutual devotion at tracted world wide attention. The question of her position at the Italian court is believed to have been the insurmountable obstacle that end ed all thought of a wedding between American girl:
 The Duke during the years from 1908 to 1911 wooed Miss Elkins with true southern ardor and pleaded his cause with the King and Queen no less fervently.
 Torn By Desire It was hinted that some dissatisfac- ton of the same sort was a cause of the unhappiness that seems to cling to the beautiful Frances Watts Stew ems, who secured divorce from The

odosius Stevens in 1920, after a short
 married life of less than three years.
 Frances Watts, daughter of the late Ethe1bert Watts, who was Amer ican onsul-General in Brussels, spent her girlhood abroad. Between the ages of 15 and IS she formed a taste for the social life of Europe. When she returned to Philadelphia she
 brought with her the memory of a young Belgian nobleman of wealth who was one of King A1bert's staff. He had been very devoted to her. War broke out in 1914, and, of course it was impossible for her to return. The young officer died dur ing that first dreadful year of Bel
 gium's agony, and there are those who say the diplomats lovely daughter could not forget.
 She Sought SoIace
 Her melancholy is believed to
 have begun with the outbreak of war Grief over her fathers death prolonged her sorrow, and finally she sought solace in relief work.
 This endeavor brought her in touch with Mrs. Richard Stevens, of Castle Point, Hoboken. N J.,and finally with Theodosius Stevens, brother of that charming society matron whose own maiden name had been Stevens. He Commission.
 Frances Watts and TheodoSiuS Stevens were married in 1917. Ru- mors of arrangement and of fnan- cia1 trouble were followed by sepa- ration and in August, 1920, the for mer Frances Watts attempted suicide m hotel at Easthampton, L. l., by slashing her wrists and taking a

 Allowed ''TitIe''
 The status of a woman, a "com- moner," entering such a marriage was discussed by Abruzzi with various highly-p1aced personages in his own home environment of Italy. He learned she could never be treated as one of his family, although Miss Elkins was to have been allowed the title of Duchess
 In January, 1911, Senator Elkins died In May Miss Katherine Elkins was snapped by photographer whose picture showed the young lady. her mother, brother and Billy Hit, all headed for a boat which was to them to Europe
 Lucerne was chosen as the scene for a conference by the Duke and his intended bride from the United States. He came over from Venice. His presence in Switzerland perturb- ed Hit, who had roamed over into Baden Baden.
 That same year reports gained cre- dence which proclaimed Katherine Elkins would marry Billy Hit.
 Finally the Dukes love for coun- tl-y seemed to win. Hit was de- voted to Miss E1kins, and in 1913 they were quietly married, this heroine of the Abruzzi affair and the young lawyer from Yale, who had great wealth of his own.

 me, please, what Phoebe Harrison has to gain by running off with Neal Hyland ?"
 There was no mistaking the ecorn in Virginia's voice. It amounted to snobbery. As she spoke. a recol1ec- tion flashed across my mind. found myself picturing the evening the evening when Jim proudly pre-
 sented his beautiful, aloof Virginia
 with the words I wished he'd used instead to describe me to his sister: Isn't she wonderful, Anne?' I stared at Virginia with anger in return for her scorn. and as we faced each other, the memory of that even-
 ing took possession of me so com pletely that I felt constrained to re- vive it for Jeanie.
 Virginia, do you recall the eve ming when you and Phoebe returned from your year of travelling and you met Neal and me for the first time?'' I asked, rushing on without waiting for her reply.
 ''The youngsters were drawn to each other at once. Neal invited Phoebe to go out with him the next evening in a party of four-and

 ''This is what Phoebe said" mur- mured: "1'm sorry, Neal. I'd I'd be glad to go anywhere you took me- She meant it then. She never stopped meaning it. But my brother was too honorable to take her against your wishes or Jim's. Then, after you'd grown to be fond of him, 8 new obstacle arose. Another lad. whose principles were less fine, wouldn't have let it be a. barrier. But Neal wouldn't cross it. He waited. He tried to teach Phoebe the wisdom ot waiting"
 'If your theory of what happened this afternoon is correct" returned Virginia ici1y. "He didn't try-very strenuously-to make Phoebe see tho wisdom of waiting. But I think you've gone off at an absurd tangent And while you're specu1ating, some. thing dreadful may be happening te my Phoebe
