might mean) to each other for
eight years. Archie turned from
them. A rebellious thought within
him reactionariiy Inutrered that
the Blue Rock types paid for their
interest for each otner by being
their petrifyfng boresomeness for
everybody else around them; that
they'd no antennae Of humors, no
"tendrils" OF sympathy TO catch at
what happened outside their in
closed and narrow compiaceney;
that q Blue-Rock man meant per-
haps a man unenterprising, obtuss,

who had had few opportunities to be
otherwise; q girl without tempera-
ment Or aitruism. Enough OF them.
lie was again conscious of the
new attractiveness of this girl near
him; her neat hair unstirred by the
breezes, her cheeks still lovely with
their carnation flush. Further, he
became conscious OF q quite urgent
wish to call her by her Christian
name. ~
So on another note he added: by
the way, yours is rather an uncom-
mon name, isn't it? HoW"-more
SOttly-'hoW is II speIt!
Chill seemed to fall upon the
warming friendly current between
them. Quite distinctly and with a
full stop as it were between each
letter. Miss ce-Mathews spclt it
out Tor him "M-a-u-y-e.'
"Oh, yes. Like the color. l see,''
said young Mr.. Laverock in that
pleasant, subdued voice of his.
One lesson he had learned (from
another fair teacher) just after he
left his public school had been !:
Take mo- for an answer now and
then. Women are supposed to adore
men who won't. Such u mistake.
We're only too pleased with the ones
who sometimes do. When you are
virtually sure of being given, gladly
what you ask for then is the time
to insist. Until then the golden rule
is Never pester.'"
So now. in this matter of Miss
Rice Mathews. he took hint and
pressed no further the question OF
Christian names.
Little did he imagine how soon his
own Christian name was to come
unasked, from the girl herself.

CAM SEND WIFE
BACK To OLD
MATE
Victor E. Graham, Wall Street
Magazine Official, Must
Keep Her, Says Court

NEW YORK. Dec. 25.-victor e.
Graham, vice president Of the
Magazine Of Wall Street, must keep
Mrs. Faye E. Graham, actress. az
his wife. The Appellate division
In Brooklyn so decided in setting
aside. a decree of annulment
granted by Supreme Court Justice
Benedict in favor of Graham and
Diminishing his case.
The Grahams were married
March IL, 1921. Two years later
Graham returned his wife to
Alfred K. Behrens, her previous
mate, by means Of the annuiment
suit. Justice Benedict held Mrs.
Graham had become the common
law wife Of Behrens in 1910 and
that her marriage to Graham was
null.
The evidence disclosed that in
Chicago in 1918 the three discussed
the questions Of which Of the two
men should marry her. Graham,
according to the testimony, insisted
that Behrens marry her. The next
day the three went to Crown Point,
mo-. to obtain a marriage license,
but failed. They went back to
chicago, Behrens returned to New
York, and later Graham and the
woman were married.
In granting Graham an annul.
ment, Justice Benedict said it ap.
peared that for long periods the
woman had divided her favors"
between the two men. Presiding
Justice Kelly in the decision of the
Appellate Division said there was
no evidence showing a common. law
marriage between Mrs. Graham
and Behrens.
II think she should not be
selected to bear the brunt sof the
sordid relations disclosed by the
evidence and that a court Of this
State should leave the plaintiff and
defendant where it found them"
Justice Kelly declared.

OPERA "PARslFAL" FOR

to the feasibility Of presenting q
