by fire again early this year but
Mr.. Wright announced his inten-
ton Of rebuilding it.
Wife Tells Her Story
Mrs. Wright, who says she loved
Wright's art, first, and then him
self, had plenty to say yesterday as
she sat in her suite at the South
more hotel, Chicago, and evaluat-
ed the man for love OF whom she
had rejected the conventions, some
eleven years ago, just few month
after Maman Borthwick Cheney,
his affinity, had been killed by a
demented co1ored caretaker of
Taliesen, the love bungalow.
Yesterday Mrs. Wright spoke OF
everything. She said her eccentric
husband insisted Oh wearing brown
knickerbocker to TIE opera. She
added that he broke her ribs when
she annoyed him She said he
eloundered in philosophical dis
3ussion at Baron Okura's dinner
parties in Japan, an described his
orgies of jealousy of herself and
her art.
Speaks of Young Russian Woman
But mostly the sculptress talk
ed of Mrs. Olga Milaroff, young
Russian, who precipitated the lat
est episode in the epic of Frank
Lloyd WrighCs life. Mrs. Milanoff,
according to Mrs. Wright, came to
Taliesen after Mrs. Wright had
left it, in the capacity of servant
and remained as a sweetheart.
The knowledge that the black
haired Russian and the gray hair
ID architect were registered, even
hough in different rooms and I'M
Ter their own names, at the Gar
'ield Arms hotel reused Mrs.
Wright to such pitch Wednes-
day night that she broke silence
bout her coming divorce suit and
5egan to tell her story.
Yesterday the effects Of this
story started to boomerang back at
her Ex-Judge Frederick S. Fake,
Ter attorney, phoned to rebuke her
or her trip to the hotel in search
If Mrs. Milanoff.
Says She Seeks No Cash
'And Mr.. Wright dared me to
ak" Mrs. Wright declared yes
terday.
"He told me that if | made troub
e l never would get the money set
ement | was supposed to get. But
don't care. | don't care if |
starve to death and freeze. My
life is over I don't want my fam
ly to be disgraced. Otherwise |
lon't care what happens"
Then in a flood of woods, now
)hilosophic, now personal, the tall
Upper haired woman who doesn't
ook much younger than the fifty
three years she claims, tells what
she thinks Of Frank Lloyd Wright,
the man whose ways seem to
harm women as his buildings
harm emperors."
AS Mrs. Wright talked, Mrs. Mil
anoff was checking out Of the Car
ield Arms hotel, Chicago. She
las disappeared completely
Friends of the architect deny that
he is taking Mrs. MiIanoff back to
Wisconsin with him.
Compare Wright to Chinese
Close friends of Wrights, those
Who spent yesterday morning with
him, characterized their comrade
rs "sort of Chinese philosopher
type, with a flair for challenging
he conventions perhaps, but too
much engrossed in his work to pay
much attention to women, and too
much of thoroughbred to be gull
of the accusations which his
wife is making"
These friends pointed to other
friends Of the architect, including
| Clarence S. barrow and Carl Sand
)urg, who had stood by him and
ried to help him out of his marital
difficulties with Miriam Noel
| Wright.
"That girl was nothing more
han housekeeper, these men
| explained. She was brought to his
home by Mr.. Wright's foster sis
ter. A few weeks ago, as we under
stand it, she had to come to Chi
ago to see a doctor She register
ed at the Garfield Arms, and Mr.
Wright, anxious to be of service
O her registered at the same hotel
but he did it under his own
name. He had a room nowhere
near hers. There was nothing
wrong in the whole affair"
Nothing wrong, bah," is the
way Mrs. Wright disposes of that
suggestion.
"That girl is a nobody who has
