HUGE LOSES
Author of “Love Affairs of An Old
Maid,” Reared in Atlanta,
Seeks Divorce.
CHICAGO, Sept. 8.— Mrs. Lillian
Bell Boprue. authoress, who has dis
cuss*^ marriage* and love from end
to end, always with sprig.h til ness and
a snap of cynicism, who charmingly
gave evidence of the wilfulness of the
artistic temperament by declaring, in
an article, that men under 35 were
stupid egotistical and unfit for mar
riage, and then fell in love at first
sight with and married Arthur Hoyt
Bogue, who was then 25. the while
she was 33. would now divorce him
when he is 38. *
It isn't because he has grown older
—their marriage took place in 1900—
hut in paters that are prepared for
filing in Delaware, Ohio, she alleges
drunkenness and non-support. Tht
Bogues have bfen seperated for some
time They have one daughter, Lilian,

tate business with his father in Chi
cago at the time of his marriage to
Miss Lilian Bell, is now thought to b«
residing in New York.
“Lilian Rell” ih well known in At
lanta. Though horn in Chicago her
parents moved to the Georgia capital
and the future author passed her
childhood and was educated in that
city.
In "The Love Affairs of an Old
Maid, that Mrs. Bogue wrote when
•ho was 22, she had much to say re
garding love and the ideal man. and
she makes her old maid heroine re
mark :
“It needs a compelling, not a per
suasive. power to win a woman. No
man who takes me like this," closing
her thumb and forefinger as if holding
a butterfly, "can have me. The one
who dares to take me like this,"
clinching her hand, "will get me "
Two Weeks’ Courtship.
Mrs. Bogue did not discuss to-night
whether young Bogue had filled this
bill, but the fact is remembered that
he courted and won her after an affair
of only a few weeks. In the interview
she only shook her head and said.
"A man will never give up drink
ing for a woman, no matter how much
he loves her. after he has acquired the
liquor habit. I am not a temperance
fanatic, but I will not shield my hus-
mand from criticism any longer.
“My husband has never earned a
living for me since we were married.
1 have supported him and our daugh
ter for the last ten years, and all th**
money 1 earned by my writing was
hanked in his mime. Any afTection I
had for him once has been killed.”
When she was asked about the ar
ticle she wrote in her book. ••From
a Girl's Point of View." In which she
said no husband should he chosen
from the ranks of men under 35, sho
smiled and said
“Oh. that article was merely the re
sult of a conversation with a maga
zine editor, and while some of it Is
true. I do not really believe all the
things I wrote. But, of course, my
subsequent marriage to a man seven
years my junior made good copy for
tihe newspapers."
At the time that the news of the
separation of the author from her
younger husband was being published
Bogue, in an Interview, remarked:
"My wife became fanatical and
finally objected to serving wine on our
table at home. I have been accus
tomed to wine and objected to having
it taken from me. Finally she told me
to choose between adopting her re
ligion or a separation. 1 had no in
clination toward her religious belief
and could not join It in good faith.
That is why we broke up. 1
have never been habitually intemper
ate and resent the accusation.
"A College for Lover*."
In an article written three years be
fore her marriage in which she advo
cated "a college for lovers," she sug
gests a post-graduate course for hus
bands and •et down the following
courses for instruction on:
“Giving vour wife an allowance.
"How to develop your wife’s in
dividuality.
“How to manage a clever woman.
"Tow to get on with a nervous
woman.
How to make a frivolous woman
amount to a row of pins.
“How to keep your wife in love with
you.
The necessity of not Interfering
with vour wife’s discipline of the’chil
dren."
Hut even then in prenuptial days,
she was no great enemy of divorce,
for in this name article she concludes
“And after the lovers—bless them'
—'had passed successfully through
this course of instruction and hud
conn* out the perfectly equipped ar
ticle we all would have them to be,
they would be presented with a
diploma tied with a white satin rib
bon, containing the famous aadvice,
with its deliciously ruMle sidelights:
•Marry early, and, if circumstances
permit—often,’ ”
In an article printed two years ago,
with her own separation impending!
she wrote:
“Marriage is a man-made inven
tion for the prevention of worse evils
What is marriage for, anyway? Is
it built on anything but selfishness”
And. if so, is it Hurprising that it
fails? The wonder to me is that so
many hold. But what of a marriage
where evil se retlv indulged in has
disintegrated a once fine character
into an unrecognizable mass in which
There is not one redeeming trait” 1

SCHOOLS OPENED WITH 26,000 IN
ATTENDANCE, AN INCREASE OF2.000
.Some of Atlanta's pnpils with shining morning fares, ready
to be assigned to classes
Nearly 26.000 children began at- j
tendance in the Atlanta public schoo.s I
Monday, an Increase over last year's
enrollment of about 2,000. This in - i
crease is rather larger than the usual |
annual growth, but the figures are
based on incomplete returns from the •
various schools and are likely to be a :
fair approximation
The same air of tense expectancy j
among the little people, whose first j
venture it was into realms of knowl- ;
edge, that has prevailed since schools 1
were established marked the first day |
of the school year. Faces scrubbed 1
to glowing, ties and collars fresh, j
stockings new, shoes unstubbed, they j
made their way to the classrooms.
Everybody was up at dawn In prep- :
a rat ion.
Nobody seemed to be very sorry
about the fact that school began. The |
teachers in every one of the 47 pub
lic schools were smiling. Keeping
school becomes a habit with them,
like the morning cup of coffee or tha j
course at the summer Chautauqua,
and they are happy at last now that j
the three months’ vacation is over.
A teacher is nothing if not ener- i
getic.
Children All Are Happy.
And the children—sure, every one |
of the 26,000 is happy to-day, even
if the big boys do vow loudly and j
boastfully that'they wish all schools
.■r school-teachers were at the North
Pole in* in Macon—these being the
places to which puerile persons, un
tutored in wickedness, consign ob-
jeetionables, much as you grown-ups
breathe the name of a more heat *J *
region. But even these big boys
know- in their souls that they are
rather glad school is open again, and
they can find a change from the rath
er monotonous associations of vaca
tion time.
Anyhow, the baseball season is
over, ynd Piedmont Park will close
soon, so why not go to school?
Two or three days probably will be
consumed in many of tlie schools bv
the task of accommodating the exist
ing facilities to the demand of an in
creased attendance. There must al
ways be a change, incident to the
growth of the number of student*.
Until the entrance cards are collected
and assorted after the first day *
school hours, little calculation for
final adjustment can be made.
Joy Soon Will Vanish.
But within a day or two every
thing will settle own. The books or
dered will be opened and the first les
sons assigned. Seriou study wnl
come not later than the last of the
week, and before another week dawns
all the novelty will be worn off, the
morning faces will begin to glow only
with washing and not with pleasure,
and school days will already have
become a sort of humdrum affair.
To-day there is romance in the sit
uation. romance and a thrill of ex
citement. Next week romance ani
adventure only for the little tots,
whose tirst year this is, and who can
find in each day's sally into the
realms of chirography and the alpha
bet a deed of high and mighty em
prise. productive of wonderful ad
ventures. and bearing great fruit of
learning.

Says Administration Candidate
and Friends Are in Plot to Kill
Him—Challenges Reply.
MACON, Sept. 8.—There is a sen
sation here in political circles as the
result of the distribution of circulars
published by A. L. Dasher, candidate
for Mayor, in which he criticises in
the strongest terms Mayor John T.
Moore, Mayor. Pro Tern Ross Bowdre,
City Clerk Bridges Smith, who is a
candidate for Mayor; Emmet Barnes,
a leading Smith w*orker, and Corne
lius O’Connell.
The newspapers declined to handle
the letter in any form, and Mr. Dash
er then printed it as a circular.
He calls the above-named men
“contemptible cowards,’’ and discusses
Mr. Smith in the most personal and
scathing terms. His language is
grossly libelous if untrue. Mr. Dash
er dares the men whom he names
to resent what he says.
Cornelius O'Connell published a
card concerning Mr. Dasher last week
and the latter accuses the city ad
ministration officials of having writ
ten it. He says they are behind a,
plot to have O’Connell kill him. The
card concludes by saying that Macon
has a Tammany Hall like New York s
—"the only difference being in size.”
