jasmn HE yearning for a companion who hateu\‘
] I work, but makes the world a more
! beautiful place to live in is given by
' J society as the reason that has induced
Mrs. Fanny Jones-Kip-Little to part with her
second husband, Julian Little, after she had al
ready been constrained to give up enother per
fectly good husband, Henry Spies Kip, for the
same cause. The strange yearning that animates
Mrs. Kip-Little, society reasons, must impe! her
to try again, for she is altogether too young to
abandon her ideals.
The heart’s desire of this fascinating young
woman, daughter of Mrs. Lewis Quentin Jones,
of Newport, is to have a husband who will give
up such sordid, workaday things as professions
and business and devote himself to playing with
her. She has money enough, so she thinks, to

a very lovely voice and some dramatic ability.
She had studied singing under Jean de Reszke,
and after the first flush of her romance faded
somewhat she continued her musical studies.
Her friends whispcred even then that she had
ambitions—operatic ambitions. But she kept her
support & husband in
ease, comfort—even lux
ury. Why then should
he work?
Mrs. Little was an un
usually pretty and fasci
nating maiden when as
Fanny Jones she made
her debut ten or twelve
years ago in Newport.
Almost at opce the
wealthy banker and
broker, Henry Spies Kip,
of the old Kip's Bay fam
ily, fell in love with her,
and they were married
before Miss Jones had an
opportunity to explain
her ambitions to the
busy young broker. For
the first few years they
were much in the social
limelight. Mrs. Kip had
’ e 4
own counsel. She sang for her guests whenever
she and Mr. Kip entertained in their splendid
home, and ostensibly she was as happy as she
was pretty.
A boy was born, and for a few months she was
entirely devoted to him. Then suddenly one
Spring, instead of going to Newport as usual,
she went to Paris and again enrolled herself as
one of de Reszke's pupils.
“Fanny will surely go into opera,” said her
triends. Very soon other things were whispered
over the teacups. “Fanny wants to live in Paris.
She hates New York, and she wants Henry to
give up his business, sell the town house and
join her in Paris,” said society.
During the Newport season the gossip centered
around the Henry Kips. Mrs. Kip had long been
® favorite. She was so original, so pretty, so
ready to do startling things, and the Circus Set
was sure that it was her duty to return to New
port and help the colony amuse itself. During
Horse Show week Mrs. Kip did return, but not
to her husband and home. She went to the Reg
fnald Vanderbilts at Sandy Point farm, and from
there issued her ultimatum to her patient, still
in-love husband. It was somewhat as follows,
whispered society over its highball glasses and
teacups: “Give up your job, or I will give you up
We have money enough to support us, and why
should you not devote yourself to me rather than
to Wall Street?”
There it was in a nutshell. But Mr. Kip was
made of stern stuff. He refused her ultnatum,
just as he had refused to give in to her former
pleadings.
He had suffered much at the hands of his beau
tiful wife. Almost from the very first she had
tried to make a butterfly of him. Returning
from their wedding trip, he, having large inter
ests “down town,” wanted to go to his office
every day. Mrs. Kip cajoled, pleaded, wept.
“Stay home just to-day; let us go motoring in
the country; let us take luncheon at Sherry's;
let us stay home and practice my newest songs.”
Thus every-day she pleaded, And she did more.
She sent out invitations for dinners, dances,
luncnes, musicales, picnics, for every kind of an
entertainment that would
keep her husband continually
with her.
“It is not a husband Fanny
wants,” said her friends. “It
is a well-trained lap dog.”
Of course, in the beginning
Mr. Kip did give in to his
wife. He had a large fortune
and realy did not need to
work. He spent long morn
ings, oh, very long mornings,
in her boudoir, listening to
her music, reading the new
est love stories to her, hold
ing her hand or her Pomera
nian, whichever she ordered.
He spent long, very long
afternoons playing bridge,
motoring, gossipping, dancing
or just making love to her.
He sat through tiresome din
ner parties and more tire
some dances. He reached the
point where he could at least
qualify as a butterfly in em
bryo. But suddenly the grub
bred in him by generations
of hard-working Dutch Kips
asserted itself and he tigew
off the butterfly wings which
had already sprouted.
Mrs. Kep wept, stormed,
pouted. But Henry went on
working. Then she went to [Lurope, then to
Newport, and finally to Reno. where she not
only secured her divorce, but her second hus
band.
Down from the mountains one day came an
old Newport playmate, good looking, hard-work
ing Julfan Little. Of course, he fell in love with
the girl who had played with him when they
were children.
They were married almost immediately. and
then the training began. At the end of two
years Mrs. Little pointed with pride at her haudi
work and said: “Look at my work. Behold the
perfect butterfly!”

Mrs. Jones-Kip-Little in Fancy Dress at a Reno (Nevd) Divorce
Party. Taken While She Was Getting Divorce No. 2.
And then the grub in him awoke and his soul
cried for work. He did not return to his mining
profession. It seems that in his two years of
butterflying he had acquired a desire to become
an actor. He got a job at thirty-five a week in
a stock company, and did very well.
Mrs. Little stood his working just three
months. Then she went home to her mother,
and six weeks ago she secured a divorce in New
port on the grounds of incompatibility.
Have her two unlucky experiments discour
aged her? No, indeed. Her Newport friends are
husy with the rumor that she intends to trs
again.
