Mme.Blanche Drennan, daughter of the late Dr.Charnes Stoddard Btroud, is convinced.So, as she can't have the love and roses, she has decided against the unpleasant alternative which she claims her husband Harry Drennea offers her.WIFE WINS ROUND Mrs.Drennan won the firet stage of her fight to be released from the responsibility of being her husband's\u2019 punching bag, as the courts have\u2019 granted her her petition to sud\u2019 Drennan for a formal separation Although, she saya she has always conducted herself like a perfect lady\" Dronnan committed ai the sins that textbooks on

of.Canada and the United States glv- ing boxing exhibitions.They have all been engaged to appear in Burlesque.Their decision to come to this side follows close upon the order of the Berlin (Germany) police where« by all cabarets giving exhibitions of boxing girls are to be closed.The ordér further includes places where nude dancing has been a feature, The decree goes in effect Octbber 1, thus providing ample time for the women to seek employment in other lines of endeavor.According to the police the suppression of this kind of amusement is due to the fact that resorts which have flourished on its draw are \u201cincompatible with the needy situation of the German nation.\u201d While dancing by nude women in German cabarets has been a feature of long standing, the advent of women prize fighters in these resorts is a comparatively recent development.It is said to be a dire:t result of the present economic situation.Dancing girls, unemployed, have found the \u2018making of a reputation as & \u201clady prize fighter\u201d leads to engagements with regular Incemes.The purses offered tha girls have been good ones and occasionally foreign tourists have offered the colossal

religion.1 know I hundreds of them.Some of them are cowards, some, a Very few, charlatans; most of them are honest, courageous, hard- weghing and self-denying men, .Amongst my ministerial friends 1 number many Roman Catholic padests as well as Protestant ministers.In the former days many the aight have 1 been the guest of the curé in some French village where there was battle on against the saloon, Father Choquette, of Lake Megantic, was one of my dearest friends and there lives no man for whom I have a keener admiration than 1 had for that brave soul, now at rest.One of my very good friends was John Currie, for so long the minister at the American Presbyterian Chapel, on Inspector Street, Montreal.Only 4 few wecks ago I heard him preach at Kamouraska, where he had founded a summer home for the poor people amongst whom he labored so devotedly, Though eighty years of age, he preached with a forcefulness and freshness that were amazing.I have heard many a sermon from men in the prime of life that showed far less study and thought, and were delivered with but one hundredth part the power.I shall never forget the joy with which he once told me of his remarkable adventure with Joe Beef.Joe was a notorious river-front character and his saloon a resort of some, of the biggest scoundrels un- tung.John Currie had it laid on his heart to beard Joe Beef in his den.So to Joe Beef's saloon he went \u2014 this was a-many years ago \u2014 and sought out Joe, He made his request and it almost took Joe Beef's breath away by ite very audacity.\u201cYes\u201d, said Joe Beef, \u201cyou may preach here and God help anybody who molests or interferes with you\u201d.And preach there John Currie did many times, with such remarkable effect that many were tirned to righteousness and sober lives.Who shall say that this good deed shall not, or has not been gounted to Joe Beef for righteousness, saloon-keeper and blackguard Jhough he might have been?I've spoken in saloons in my time, and ù them, and been beaten up in them when trying to enforce the , but I never did a thing in that way one half so plucky as John grrie\u2019s tackling of Joe Beef, Never a man knew his Bible like John Currie.Mention a passage seripture and he would give you the chapter and verse.But he had better than merely memorise the Bible; he had caught its spirit; message had gripped him, and he knew its Author by personal con- Like Enoch, \u201cHe walked with God\u201d, so much so that it was a diction to be in John Currie's presence, Not for him the foremost te of the land, nor the princely salaries that fashiongble preachers But he had a ministry so wide that it reached into many countries land makes his memory blessed amongst the sons of men, : } John Currie \u201cwent about doing good\u201d, not merely waiting for op- 5 portunities to come to him; he went about seeking them and making Mi tare JN Te age \"them; not only talking of good but doing it; not doing harm, doing : .The poor will miss him; the tempted have lost a friend; to the Bo terer he was a light that called them back home to God and a new life.I'm proud to have known John Currie and the brave little woman, his wife, who next to God was the source of his strength.If I can accomplish half the good with THE AXE, c'er I come to die, as John Curric has done in Montreal and for Montreal, I shall die happy.JOHN CURRIE WAS THE RICHEST MAN IN MONTREAL ! 2 Rich in the possession of friendships; rich in the gratitude of the countless men and women that he helped to save; rich in the love of outcasts he led back home to God; rich in the prayers of little children , Whose fathers he won from the booze habit and whose, \u201cGod bless Mr, Currie\u201d, could not be bought by millionaires; rich in the stars he has won for his Heavenly crown, and rich, as he died, in the knowledge that \u201csomething attempted, something dome\u201d for others had earned the rest that remaineth to the people of God,

Federal Government.A few days ago The Star printed a dispatch with an Ottawa date line (but which was written in its own Montreal office), stating that there was great objection on the part of Liberal newspapers to the giving of this contract to the Gazette, a Conservative organ.It was a dirty piece of self-interested journalism, Then The Herald followed with an attack on The Gazette, getting off this naive admission: \u201cThere are more modern printing establishments than that of the Montreal Gazette which, in their own opinion at any rate, do better work, and they have not been asked to temder, although they are not opponents of the present administration\u201d.Meaning The Herald, of course.But look at the damnable hollowness and hypocrisy of the whole matter.Lord Atholstan in his ludicrous Whisper of Death articles, published to help him and hig pals stea] the National Railways, moans in eight keys every day about the country\u2019s enormous expenditure.He knows better than most; having had so much of it himself, that nothing adds to Government expenditures like feeding pap to Government newspapers.Yet, when the Ottawa Government gives a contract to an opposition printing plant, he whines for the party press (meaning The Herald Printing) to be fed, knowing that that way increased expenditure lies.What a low-bred contempt Lord Atholstan must have for the in- in attacking The Gazette and the Federal Government, he is only howling like a wolf that has been cheated of its prey.The Charity Trust Again TT Financial Federation of Charities is out for the dough again, Last year it took nearly half a million dollars out of the pockets of the people of Montreal.It cannot have spent half of it.Anyhow, if all has been spent more than haif of it has gone on salaries, and administration and less than half to the poor.Jaunts to New York and Washington for highly-paid officials; jejune sympathy for the poor.Ten thousand 4 year for a Charity Director ; one dollar's worth of groceries for a family about to be evicted for nonpayment of rent.Money spent like drunken sailors on keeping up the charity organisation; two week's investigation before relieving a starving family.That's how it mostly works out.For our part we hope the people of Montreal will withhold their subscriptions from the Charity Trust and do their own philanthropic work.Anything that comes between people and their duty to their less fortunate neighbours is vicious, .telligence of the Canadian people if he imagines they cannot see, that ) WHAT THE MAN IN THE STREET WANTS TO KNOW HO

began just one month after their marriage and has been waged back and forth across the international border and between Ontario and Quebec.It has now been thrown out of the courts due te the non-appcarance of either garty when the case was called for ~ hearing here this week, { MYSTERIOUS CALL The budding romance of the mere child of sixteen with ths middle aged engineer seems to have pursued the usual course of such marriage bargains, According to her version, che was wooed and won by Killikelly in Moxico City, where they were married.His claim is that they were married in Montreal.One night in June 1909, he claim- od, he received a mysterious telephone call, asking him to meet a friend at the St.James Hotel When he arrived there, he met Laurabelle Barrett who told him she had come te Montreal to esoape the marriage into which her mother threatened to force her with a man whom she did not love.KHiikelly\u2019s chivalrous in- stinots would then have prevailed, as he married the child on the following day.ACCUSES WIFL, .But this version waa entirely repudiated by his wife, as she claimed she married him fn Mexico City.Which actually occurred will remain buried forever, uniews either partner to the troublous menage decides to reopen hostilities.In any event, the meteoric courtship sems to have been followed by a lightninglike period of newlywed] bliss as, aocording to her sworn statement, it barely required one month for KiMkelly before he tired of her and tried to force her into feaving him and return to her parents as he wished to live alone.To Kilikelly belongs the honor of baving fired the first battery in the marital melee.It began with his aippliestion for a separation, when he charged his wife with having had impropar relations with a fellow- West Indian, Clarence Falconer Anton, E PRODUCES LETTERS.In support of his charges, Killikelly produced a series of letters of à highly-compromising nature which bad altegediy been written by Anton to Mrs, Kiilikelly.The sustention of the letters would have sufficed for Killikelly to have secured a divorce under the Canadian laws but Mrs.Killikelly branded them as false and as having been the fruit of a conspiracy between her husband and the false Anton to ruin her {n order to give Killikelly the separation which he allegedly sought.Killikelly charged his wife with having entertained her liaison with Anton in Montreal, Torontq and in Goodyear, Conn.His suspicions according to his statement, were first aroused fn Toronto when his wife met a stranger with whom she went out, leaving her husband alone for a considerable \u2018time, in Toronto.OTHER MAN'S RING.Laten, he claims, he found her wearing the ring given her by Anton, in preference to her own wedding ring.Subsequently he charged her with having corresponded with Anton to return to him while she was in hospital here undergoing medical treatment at the Royal Victoria Hospital, at Kilikelly's expense.On each and every point of dispute .a flat contradiction is found in the C respective sworn statements of hus- \u2018band and wife, First the date and \u2018place \u2018of marriage are disputed, and eich point raised by either following ~ts similarly treated by the contest- ante.\u2019 A When the husband opened the suit he charged her with having worn her gapposed lover, Anton's, ring from early in 1917 to-date in 1918.His declaration is that he secured the ring in 1918 and returned ft to Anton at opce, following | com which the fatter wrote him {1spicious.\u2018 [assistance he could.oxplain- ing the entire incident., a SAYS LETTER A LIE.But, according to Kilikolly, the cntire explanation was a misstatement of facts with the evident intention of allaying Killlkellys su- Mrs, Killikelly then came back to Montreal and, although she had promised not to sce or communicate with Anton again, she had frequently visitod him at his residence here.In July 1919 she had left for Toronto but a month later wrote him that she was ill and wanted to return to him.He had sent her her fare and placed her in hospital for treatment upon her arrival.Within two days after her departure from hospital he had intercepted two letters to her from Anton which showed that Anton had been intimate with Mrs.Killikelly, between the years 191\u20ac and 1918 and that while she was in hospital she was actually planning to return to live with Anton in Toronto.WIFE'S COUNTERSUIT, Mre.KMlikelly, when the foregoing charges were preferred against her did not content herself merely with defending the suit, but entered a countersuit for a separation from Aer husband.She alleged that abused, outraged and insulted her grievously; that since their marriage he had given evidence of having despised her and that he had oontinually endeavored to force her into leaving him and returning to her parents to live.His treatment of her had been moet cruel as he had struck her with his fists, made her nose bleed and tried to choke her.Instead of tehaving like a husband, he had fcrced her to go away and earn her own living.: Just prior to the birth of their only child he had urged her to visit her parents and following the baby\u2019s birth in Indiana he refused to have her come to live with him.When Ler father had gone to upbrald Killikelly, the latter had said that there were charity institutions to care for maternity cases.WHY SHE LEFT., Killikelly, she charged, was: a West Indian and, as such, belonged to a face where free love was the practice and marriage unknown; that he was inconstant in his love, violent and eccentric.Her reason for going home three months after their marriage was because of his hostile attitude, and the reason of her return was because she feared to tell her parents that Killikelly did not want her any more, She had come back to live with kim, but again she had been forced to leave him and return to Toronto and support herself, Owing to her physical breakdown she was urged by her employers in Toronto to return to her husband here, and both soon left afterwards for Pittsburg.Then the entire drama was re-en- acted and it was only by the fear of non-support charges being made by her that they were Tounited, Her next jaunt from Killikelly had taken her again to Toronto where, after a atoy of three months she first met Anton who claimed to have been sent by Killikelly's sister, in the West Indies, to give her any Killikelly had PROVES FALSE FRIEND, For several months Anton had seemed a true friend when suddenly [a#~his home at her own husband's he appeared to change and she had promptly ordered him never to See [returned to Toronto at her husband's her again.Just prior to the break- [suggestion as he had paid her rall-| up, however, KillikeHy had visited [road fare.her in Toronto and had secured her wedding ring from her saying that he would, take it to a jeweler's for repair.and, as she was without money, she bought a substitute for fifteen cents.{left for the scrutiny .of her husband.The ring became tarnished and Anton had volunteered tto lend her one which he wore and which he claimed was his mother's, Then KilHkelly had appeared on the scene, and soon followed the change in Anton's manner.Although \u201cshe had ordered Anton never to see her again, he returned and informed her that his conduct had been the result of a conapiracy bétween \u2018himself and Killikelly to her.promise 2 HUSBAND GETS CHILD, _ When Kiillkelly later visited her in ed, +.EE He left without returning it [from Anton were inquiries as tother Are These a Lover\u2019s Letters ?| The following letters were preduced in court by Killikelly in his separation suit against his wife.He claimed the strange missives were written te Mrs.Killikelly by Clarence

child to Montreal.As she had wished to please him she consented but later she had learned that it was not his intention to return the boy.Discarding all her scruples through love of her only baby, she had returned to live with Killikelly to assume a role which was little better than a housekeeper's, save that it allowed her to be near her darling baby.A series of snarls followed, as a result of which Killikelly had provided her with a home on Overdale avenue, There she was again visited by Anton who was out of work and sald he expected Killikelly to help him find employment.As Anton was ill

just received a letter from my husband who is away on a business trip and I'am nearly distracted over it.I always thought he loved me, and me alone.But, it seems I am not alone in his life, He told me that, while he still loved me dearly he also loved another woman and he asked me if I would be satisfied to take one share of his affections and allow him to give the other share to the other woman.He said he didn't want to leave me, in fact that he couldn't be happy if I passed entirely out of his life, yet he seems determined to carry on his affair with this women.What can 1 do?Do vou think I will lose him entirely if I refuse to consent to his terrible request?The idea positively haunts me.Since 1 received his letter 1 haven't been able to sleep a single moment.It al seams so frightful, especially as I love him so much and I had aways thought he loved only me.Must I accept his bargain and always have the nightmare of associating him with the other woman every time I.see him, or would it be better to let him pass entirely out of my life?\u2018HEARTBROKEN, * HK Mm \u201c HEARTBROKEN\".\u2014 No hus - band in all this world can in fairness ask his wife to share him with another woman.Despite the arguments advanced by him or by anyone olse, he has sworn to love and protect you \u201ctill death do you part\u201d.Granted that a man may, after marriage, conceive an affection for another woman, it is his duty, if his wife be true, loving and kind, to renounce all others and cleave urto her.Were | in your shoes just now, | should sit down and thresh things out with him.Point out to him that his duty is to you, that in fairness to you he must play the game.| do not know whether you have children or mot.If you -have, his duty is doubly clear.But play things through for a showdown.To live in suspense is the worst thing of all.In anything 1 can do, | am at your service.De not hesitate to call upon me if | can be of help.MARY KIRKLAND.IN LOVE WITH GEORGE Dear Miss

every night and takes me home and he calls me during the day.He is thirty years old and I am to be twenty soon.Last night he seemed very funny.He stared at me and told me that he was to old to marry me and that he feared I wouldn't be happy after we married, He asked me if 1 wouldn't prefer to go out with a young fellow about twenty years of age, I told him I didn't care for any other fet- low but him.Do you think he was really serious or if Be wanted to know if I really loved him?\u201cIN LOVE WITH GEORGE\".x = W \u201cIN LOVE WITH GEORGE\"\u2014 One thing you must always remember is that

inartistic hangover from Mid-Victorian days: or else that \u201cevery one is wearing gloves again.\u201d At ledst you no tong- er attract any attention or brand yourself as remiss when you ge
