"Mr. Kresge in his first marriage had five children." Under those circumstances, certainly there doesn't seem to have been any pressing necessity for an heir. Anyway, said Mrs. Kresge, "Maternity is not merchandise, to be sold for so much over the bargain counter the idea apparently is 'to brand me as mercenary." t Sometimes the more people have to be happy with the greater are their opportunities for unhappi-nesMrs. Kresge seems to have found that the ease in her own life. Beautiful, young she is twenty-fiv- e years younger than Kresge and talented, anyone would think that she had much to be grateful for. But her first marriage was a failure, and her second m"Hd just as completely as the first And, strangely enough, the cause of the trouble in' the second case was money. Too mucn oi it Kresge's fortune, which he created himself with his chain of stores, has been estimated at from $100,000,000 to $265,000,000 From time to time he has appeared in the public prints as giving large sums away a W small fortune to the Anti-Sa- loon League, $25,000,000 to the Kresge Foundation, a charity. Kresge began life as a farm boy, and made his start with $8,000, which he saved by being careful of every penny he spent That original $8,000 multiplied itself hundreds of times" but Kresge himself never outgrew the habits which gave him his start, according to the stories told of him by both his first and second wives. He could give away millions, but he wore his clothes until they were shabby, watched the household linens, and generally acted as if he were trying to live on a small salary. This strange, but not entirely unheard-of- , conduct was described at the trial by a Mrs. Jennie Knapp. She was housekeeper for Kresge when he was maintaining a nest for the "other woman" who figured in Doris Mercer Kresge's suit for divorce, she said." In her testimony Mrs. Knapp stated that Kresge, who was known to her as "Mr. Jones," told her not to remove or change the house linen every day, as she had been accustomed to do. He told her, she added, that it would be a waste of money to send the linen to the laundry too often. When she was polishing his shoes one day she noticed a large hole in the sole of one. In this shoe, she averred, he had placed a piece of printed paper as a substitute for the leather sole. The paper was a church pamphlet. If a housekeeper noticed this peculiarity of a man of whose enormous wealth she was ignorant, how much more must Mrs. Kresge have been conscious of it! That she was is made abundantly clear She explained, by her own statements. "The very thing that made him, economy, is' now .destroying him. He is a colossal foree. But the necessity for saving which s r r tJ he felt in his early life clings to him even now. And the time comes when saving cannot be regarded as admirable." There are different opinions on that subject, of course. But the gist of the whole affair is simply that these two- people had no chil- vtT '- , : vy : 'L , dren in whom to interest them no pecuniary selves, worries, nothing to do to keep them from noticing tha faults io each other, and prevent them from quarreling.

It would seem that our present day civilization is not adapted to the philosophic and studious life. Our atmosphere is anything but calm and soothing. And the average person must "be linked closely to life in some way or other to be happy. Children are the most obvious interest, of course. Careers are a fairly satisfactory substitute. Doris Mercer Kresge has a career. Her voice is a lovely one. And she was anxious to develop it In fact, it was her voice which first interested Kresge in her, and it was his promise to help her develop it that interested her in him. But when he actually had to finance its development, according to Mrs. Kresge, his fondness for music conflicted directly with his economy, and music lost the battle in the first round. You can't treat a child that way. Music lessons can be discontinued, but you can't toss your offspring out the window. So perhaps the store magnate knew what he was doing when or if he demanded one.
