Though given to of her friends and call morose and views and CHICAGO. the members of a school of philosophers of by Antlsthenes, whom Diogenes was a disciple, Mrs. F. K. Parker, a society woman of this city, is today a living example of what the old love will do. In a novel she has just written she calls married life'a farce and love nonsensical. Yet she has taken back her husband for the third time, her latest divorce suit fiavlng'been dismissed at ' her request only recently. for To Mrs. Parker the search per fect content has assumed' the everlasting proportions of the old quest of the end of the rainbow. As a pretty, vivacious girl she was a leader in the younger society set a few years ago and had many admirers. None of the girls she came in contact with was happier, but perfect content was .not In single blessedness. She tried to. find It in that state. telling her friends that she would never marry. Soon afterward Pa'rker appeared on the scene and her declaration never to marry was forgotten. To all outward appearances, for a time, peace and happiness reigned In the new botne. Then the young bride came to the realization that she had not yet found the elusive "perfect content" Marital life lost Its glow and a divorce suit followed. Temporary separation from her hus band and the worry over her case grew irksome to Mrs. Parker and a reconciliation was effected. ' But it was not for long. Spell of Old Love. . The gossips of the South side soon had another tale of marital unrest in the Parker home to discuss, and in Just as short a space of time the story of another reconciliation. Then came a third separation, and now they have V made up" again. "It's the master spell of the ' old love," says one of her neighbors. "Tho divorce proceedings were end ed .merely as a convenience," says Mrs. Parker. But the neighbor comes back with the declaration that it Is love, even if Mrs. Parker tries to make herself believe that It is not. The neighbor Is Mrs. A.E. Rose, whose classmate she was In the preparatory d school she attended and her most in timate friend, Elizabeth F. Elliott, Is author of the stanza of poetry here with reproduced. Mrs. Hose sent the poem to Mrs. Parker soon after the thud separation, and she believes that the truths contained in those few lines awakened the little love god In Mrs. Pnrker's breast and had some influence In reuniting the couple. Mrs. Parker Is not optimistic reShe garding her future happiness. stated the day following the return Of her husband to her home that she doubted the efficiency of the reconciliation, but deplored the fact that there was no alternative. Terms of Reconciliation, Before being allowed to ncccept the probation of his wife and return to the beautiful South side home, Mr. Parker conceded to the several demands of him, among which were the following: !? ' j jf j n He must make a full accounting of $50,000 dower Mrs. Parker brought him on their marriage. He must make a full and binding agreement as to the finances in the home in the future. He must apologize for his past actions and must promise to be good in the future. ... "There were many silly statements as to promiHes to Jove and obey, etc., which were never considered,' said Mrs. Parker, "but there were certain requirements as to our relations to which Mr. Parker agreed. However, I do not care to discuss them , at length. It is none of the public's business what agreements we made. Our reconciliation is complete and successful.". "And happy?" was suggested.. "I would not say that," replied Mrs. Parker, "but we are living in the same house." "Do you contemplate reinstating your1 divorce proceedings?" was aked. "It would not look well to reinstate them now, but I may be compelled to take such a step later on if the other side of the house does not abide by the agreement we have entered Into. The divorce suit was ended merely as a matter of convenience." One of the charges aealnst Mr. Parker in the divorce proceedings was that he had not accounted for the $50,000 dowry, and she wants a full accounting an itemized statement as to where the money went. Parker claims to have used the money in his business. He is at the head of a firm ' of auditors. What appears as a reflection of the moods or Mrs. Parker is contained in the story she has Just submitted for The title, "Marital Unpublication. rest," forecasts the attitude of the story. She pictures the fabled couple whose "milk and water sentiment is fed on moonlit nights and grows like a balloon, not in substance but in size, to resolve Itself into the stage and finally into marriage." For such as these she contends there is no content. The glow of the moon wanes and the glare of the sun of reality blinds them. No matter how loose the bond or how long the chain, It soon chafes and becomes short No Retreat for Woman. There Is no remedy, she declares. If they are divorced the man may forget, but there Is no retreat for the woman. The cloud of the great error In the problem of life forever darkens her pathway. Mrs. Parker closes her fable of regrets by charitably taking a large part of the blame upon her own sex. "The Just righting of the wrong should come from the woman, as to her usually falls the greater part of the blame for making the mistake." Though Mrs. Parker will not say so, it Is believed by many that the story Is based upon her own experiences on the tronbled and stormy sea of matrimony. Among those who have had the privilege of reading the advance sheets there is an Impression thnt she sought a reconciliation with her husband because she realized that some of the blame for their marital mistake rested upon her shoulders. Another reason for the reconcllia- tion I seen in the fact that several months after Mrs. Parker Bled her last suit she underwent a change of heart on the. divorce question. She no longer believes in it, and did what she could to retard the growth of the evil by withdrawing her own petition. Dwells on Divorce Evil. What she did wasn't much, when It is taken Into consideration that the census for 1S971906 brought to light nearly a million divorces' and demonstrated that the movement constantly gains In velocity, but she feels that It will help a little. The divorce cvtl Is also one of the subjects of her story. "About one marriage In every eight Is broken, at the present rate," she says, "and In some states In the union the pnopoi tlon Is a great deal higher, probably one in every four or five. This latter fact is particularly true' of this section of the country,' the central and middle western states having from two to three times the rate of the Atlantic states. "An Investigation by the department of labor 20 years ago showed that nearly. 400.000 divorces had been granted In the United States between the years 1867 and 1886, and that divorces were Increasing 2tf times as -- V Y 1IU1 Top, Nevada, is agog with ex- citement over the arrival , in camp The HuntlngVm of the first mill. plant has arrived aud is being placed . , fast as the population. The broad contrast then was between the north and the south. But the divorce rates of the north and south have been converging, while those of the east and west have diverged. With the open- ing of the "quick and easy divorce" mill in Reno, Nev., the western states w ill soon be In the championship class. "Marriage nowadays is nothing more than a farce, in many Instances a mere business arrangement. The census figures on divorce r wipe out many false impressions. "It is frequently assumed that many couples who find their way to the divorce courts separate precipitately before they have given marriage a fair trial. But the figures show, and usually figures don't lie, that the average interval before separation is something more than 6 years, and is not diminishing. Do Not Separate Soon. "More than half the couples lived together above four years, while in the majority of cases the duration of marriage exceeded seven years. Therefore it would be rash to surmise that people are forming risky and unstable unions In full view of their easy dissolution, made possible by the laws of most States. "Not many seek divorce in order to remarry, at least, such is not usually the case as some persons would make the unknowing public believe," says Mrs. Parker. for instance, during , "In Connecticut, a period of four years, the number of divorced persons married was about 30 per cent of the number legally separated in the same length of time. In Rhode Island the proportion was even less. "Remarriage Is one of those cases in which, as Dr. Johnson expresses it, 'hope triumphs over experience,' and it is not at all certain that the rate for divorced persons much exceeds that for widows and widowers of the same age. Certainly the restrictions that many states are imposing on remarriage do not seem to appreciably affect the divorce rate, and the only solution Jor the evil is In the hands of those persons contemplating divorce. Let those who make matrimonial mistakes suffer a little for their misstep Instead of rushing to the divorce court." The poem that Is credited with having done something towards reuniting the Parkers was widely copied at the time, but now It Is forgotten. The author claims no credit for her part in abating the divorce evil by one case. "It was one of these little Jingles that often run through my mind," said she, "and I delight In scribbling them down on any scrap of paper that may be hundy. Some of my family picked this one up and sent it to one of the Chicago newspapers, and somehow it munnged to escape the waste basket and get Into print If It helped to smooth a rough path for some one I am heartily glad of It" PROVED TRUTH OF ASSERTION Kindergarten Pupil Gave Demonstration of Fact That She Could "Undwess Herself."
