THE ATliANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: SATURDAY. DECEMBER 30. 1911 “WE ARE LIVING THE LIFE THAT TRUTH DICTATES” Prank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Issue Remarka ble Statement, in Which- They Exploit Their Sentiments ' of Love, Marriage, and Happiness. Springgreen, Dec. 30.—Ready to depart tomorrow for Chicago, where he Jvill meet his wife and endeavor to in- din e her to sign* a ‘‘release” on him, Frank Lloyd Wright, Chicago architect of ‘spiritual hegira,” here with his “art mate," Mamah Borthwick, / formerly Mrs Edwin Cheney, issued a remark able statement today. Both Wright and Mamah Borthwick subscribed to Us sentiments. The statement follows: •The man is tired. The woman is tired. We are living the llfe'that truth dictates. Our desire la to harm nobody. Our hope is that we may benefit hu manity / • Here arc Jeivt neggle, a wife, and a man. and a husband, icnC; a woman, who had each, according to his or her abil ity assumed earlier in life, the r^non- sibilities of marriage and had begot 4? ulvcn birth to children. Then the thing happened to them that ha* happened - to men and women since time began— the Inevitable. As soon as their situa tion became apparent to them there was the usual struggle with conscience. •Time was asked by the husband, a year, in fact, was asked, and the man and the woman agreed to make certain that love waa love. The wife charac terized the matter as a mere Infatua tion Both the wife and the husband declare that anything they could do to break up the new relationship they would do. For a year the woman Continued in her household separated from the hus band. The man likewise "continued in his household separated from the wife. “At the end of a year no divorce was in sight. No immediate separation pos sible except on statutory grounds which secured needlessly harsh and un true conditions, or a visit to Reno for the rag with which society la content to quibble for respectability. The man was called abroad for* a year. Up *o this time it would be hard to say who of the persons concerned suffered most, hut probably the man and the woman did. -*’•••' » “The established order in this case lost and the unknown, untried, the dar ing struggle for a higher, more organic personal life won. The husband and the wife remained loyal, the one will- ihg to grant a - divorce if pressed,, the other still unconvinced. “There-were no real obligations neg^ lected. • Neither the wife nor the chil dren of the man ever lacked or then lacked or should ever lack anything that could be provided for their educa tion or comfort. But the hue and cry of the yellow press was raised and from one end of the country to the other ‘the abandoned children,’ ‘desert ed wife,’ ‘the affinity’ and ‘hegira’ were proclaimed. “After a year of travel and work and trial it, appeared that the conditions which seemed sufficiently secure to .in sure the man's family comfort until he could reguin his practice were not as he thought and so leaving the woman In Berlin he returned, not as a husband to the wife, but by an agreement with her io return only as tjie father of his chil dren tp make what he could out of re sources “apldly being destroyed. “He returned to find that the work he had left in others' hands to be held over for him had been ’unscrupulously taken from him; that his friends, when they learned he had not come as a re pentant sinner to reloin his family on the only basis they claim as a family basis, refused at first to help him Finally they did help. The woman re mained, to work ip Berlin, In cpmmunl-' cation with her husband and her hus band and Children. She awaited the legal divorce which she insisted upon was granted. “Out of this the so-called bungalow grew on the Hillside. ‘‘The woman had meantime returned in order to see her children. The chil dren returned to their father and to school- she, now divorced and home less, joined the man at the retreat into which he had gathered the remnants of hie forces to fight for the life of his work. And the wife asserted still her faith ip the manhood of the man and still expressed the belief that he was infatuated. The husband had freed th( woman, but not because he had lost faith In her womanliness. The struggl Is to live and let live; remain true to all obligations humanly dischargeable, and still be serviceable.” STORY IN THE GEORGIAN BRINGS MANY INQUIRIES LaGrange, Ga., Dec. 30.—Aa a demon ..ration of the quality and quantity of ihr circulation of The Georgian N.
