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, 12. Bogue, w'ho was In the real es 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 know of marriages of this kind where the wife has grown and continues to srrow along mental idealistic noble lines, while her husband scorns her bltions and seps the foundations ( ..f t b> a deliberate descent a lower stratum of materialism day he lives. 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.
