CHICAGO, February 11.-Mrs. Mu-
fiel Cakes Ames, who was married to
Robert Ames yesterday, and Miss
Helene Lambert, who came to Chi
cago announcing that she had ex-
pected to become the actors bride,
occupied apartments at the same
North Side hotel today.
Ames, twice divorced, eloped to
Waukegan, ILL.,, with Miss Cakes, New
York society girl, returning to play
the leading part last night i'll The
Ragged Edge" and to give out one
of three statements in the triangular
drama of real life.
why, why - I'm dumfounded.
Surely it can't be true" Ames de-
clared when informed that Miss
Lambert had been quoted as saying
she came here from New York ex-
pecting to marry him yesterday.
Miss Lambert is an old friend of
mine. I thought she just came out
to say hello and wish us luck in
our new play. It's frightfully en-
arrassing-really."
Questioned by reporters in his
dressing room just before the first
act call, Ames had to hurry to the
stage with his makeup incomplete.

Ames met his bride when she en-

Miss Cakes gave hers as %.

from Vivienne Segal, star of the

giants with their narrow
gauge yet there is a means
whereby it becomes possible
for one to understand, not
only the true worth and
merit of his neighbors, but
also of himself.
Ii must be patent to all
that the true gauge is not
outer appearances.
Yet, strange TO say, the
glamor of outer appearances
exercise a tremendous influ-
ence over the minds of many.
Whatever else one may do,
said a professional man to the
writer, one must not give
the appearance Of being poor.
1t hurts ones standing in the
community"
IF that be true it fixes the
level Of the community.
Does it not seem a shallow
sort of thing to ape a prosper
ity which does not exist in
order to be received into a
certain social set? Yet how
many people stint and starve
themselves of many whole
some joys in order to put on
as big a show of prosperity
as is possible that they may
secure some sort of standing
in the community! Generally
such conduct as this only
courts trouble and can be
practised only for a limited
space of time. 1t is doubtless
true that the efforts to keep
up with the Jones's' causes
as many heart burnings in
families as any other expert
ence in dife.
Moreover it is an even
more shallow thing to ape a
business prosperity in order
to gain a business confidence
which is fictitious.
Yet so glamorous are APP
pearanccs that they are en-
ployed in almost every wild
cat scheme which willy pro-
motcrs wish to foist on a gull
lible public. Patatial suites
of offices with up-to-date
appointments undoubtedly
deceive many unwary people,
but no stable business is ever
built upon appearances only.
In this connection it is worthy
of mention that No. 20
Broadway the headquarters
of the Standard Oil
Company, is one of the
least pretentious Of business
district of New York city.
There it stands the head
quarters of the most amaz-
ing corporation of all bust
ness associations in this
modern world of big bust
ness, as a rather striking
lesson to those who imagine
that appearances is every
thing in business. In fact it
counts for little. A stable
business exists only through
financial credit, and credit
is made up of financial
security plus character.
To Judge a mans true
worth by the outer appear
ances it but to use too mar
row a gauge. 1t is not the
cowl that makes the monk,
nor the tunic soldier. 1t is
the type of man who wears
these vestments.
