HUSBAND PAINTS
NUDES; Wife UPSET
Calling Of Artist Too Much For
French Temperament Of Suzanne

New York. Aug. 16,--Little Suzann.

has been living with her husband. Ru.
dolph SUDDEN, a German artist, In
Greenwich Village-19 Barrow street
Long ago racial lines had been OBJ
liberated by the mutual love of Little
Suzanne and Rudolph, her talented
husband. During the war they agreed
that for them there was neither Ger
many nor France, but Just Suzanne
and Rudolph.
Rudolph SUDDEN does nudes. He en-
ploys, occasionally. beautiful girl
models to pose for his inspired brush.
Now Suzanne herself is beautiful but
she is not a model. Sometimes she
sulked a little after her husband had
put up his colors for the day and
had shooed the beautiful model out
of the studio door. And on such oc-
caAons SUDDEN would rally her with
gay banter. All, but he was battered
that Suzanne would be jealous. Was
he not the most fortunate of men to
be able to arouse the jealousy of such
a darling as Suzanne
Suzanne Gets Jealous
And then Little Suzanne cher
friends call her that would be APP
peased and nothing but the most
glorious happiness would abide in the
rooms of the Sudens. But lately. they
say, Suzanne's jealousy grew great
again-greattr than it ever had been.
She heard, or imagined that she
heard, words exchanged between her
husband, Rudolph, and some of the
models-words that were not imper-
sonaI. Now it turns out that the
jealousy that had enslaved Suzanne
had twisted the words as they came
to her. So that there was not, after
all, any reason for Suzanne doing
what she did.
On Tuesday. she says. she found on
a table a note to Rudolph. her hus-
band. It was in the writing of q,
model. It was OF affection. So! 1t
is then true that Suzanne is to be dis
carded by her husband lover. There
has come into his life the love of yet
another woman. What then. was
there. for Suzanne, who loved him
with her soul, to do? Would it not
make him beautiful with happiness
if there was no Suzanne to reproach
him? But yes. -,
Swallows Mercury
Whereupon Suzanne set about act
ing the part of some of Henri Muir
gers very best and loveliest heroines.
There was, on the shelf in the closet
OF the bathroom, a bottle of bichlo-
ride of mercury tablets. Quickly she
swallowed and staggered out that she
might die at the sill of the door
through which Rudolph, her husband.
must enter.
But through the open window there |
came the loud laugh of q woman. All, |
perhaps it was she, hooking. Who |
could tell? And maybe, too, Suzanne |
was little fool. Life, after all, was
not to be cast aside so lightly. There
was much to live for after all. There |
was milk In the icebox and Suzanne, |
a Red Cross nurse in the war, knew |
that milk should be consumed quickly |
and in large quantities il one would
fight the volatile poison. She drank
the milk and ran to the apartment of
Richard O'Neils-who
called Rudolph SUDDEN in.
The ambulance took her to Bellevue
hospital Just in time. The doctors
have saved her life.
Was Shell Shocked
'.My wife," explained Rudolph Su-
len last night, has been in a fright
Iully nervous condition since she was
