When He Is Getting His Heauty Sleep." 7 No Man Forgives His Spouse for Making More Money Than He, Says Helen Lee Worthing, While Elaine Harris Inveighs Against Wall Street as Her Only Rival fi s. EVERY wife has a rival In her home, a rival proatly to be feared and fought against.

This rival, according to W. L. George, the rnclish novelist, and others, is her husband's business. But if disaster lurks in a home where the husband's Lupines threatens to overshadow hi3 wife's affection, what of the home where the wife hers.lf is an earner and where she earns, as is sometime? the case, more than her husband? Mr. George hasn't answered that question yet.

But his view is hardly necessary now, for the answer has bern supplied by one who has qualified through personal experience. Miss Helen Lee Worthing formerly Mrs. Charles McDonald, of Brocklinc, who has just been divorced from her husband, says that the main source of their double discontent was the amount of her salary. he charged her husband with cruelty and fpecifiid that the cruelty out of his intense jealousy of her earning power. "My business was my husband's rival all right, all right," she said, "for I made the mistake of earning more than he did.

There were other things of course. Our working hours didn't coincide for one thing plained. "All big business. Sometimes when he would come home from his office in the evening I would suggest that we go to a dance or to the theatre and he would always say: 'Tomorrow, Baby. Not Finally he said "tomorrow" once too often and Mrs.

Harris decided that she could never find happiness in a home where there was so much money. So she started out to to make an evening of it, at 3 A. when he is getting his beauty sleep.

But it all came back to my salary. He wa much more jealous of that than he ever was (. another man." The contrary of Miss Worthing's case is found in the tragic search for freedom and happiness which Mrs.

Elaine Lee Harris has been making ever since she broke loose from her husband two years ag Miss Worthing's matrimonial bark was capsized because her husband didn't make enough money; Mrs. Hrrris's home was wrecked because her husband made too much. -He was all Wall street," Mrs. Harris ex- Above and at Right Two Poses of Mrs. Elaine Lee Harris, Who Says Her Rich if Husband Thought Only of Wall Street.

look for inappiness in Europe and, incidentally, to find freedom. Mrs. McDonald, or Miss Worthing, became nationally known for her beauty in 1919, when sha won a country-wide contest. At that time she had been married two years to Charles McDonald, though none of her friends knew anything about it. No information has been forthcoming about first two years, but Miss Worthing has implied that everything was going well until she began to make a rather good salary as an entertainer.

Mrs. McDonald, who i3 now Miss Worthing by an edict of the Suffolk Superior Court, tells her own story rather vividly, he says: Recipe for Marital Rliss "In the perfect marriage or.e or the other is subordinate one or the other yields. First of all Mr. McDonald and I came to odds over my hours. I go to work at quarter of twelve midnight and am not through until after two.

Mr. McDonald ordinarily goes to bed about the time I am going to work. And I come in all thrilled and ready I f. V. a s- enndition pick hairs from a husbandly shoulder before he goes out to earn a salary about one-third less than I earn.

Hours played havoc in our household. "But the salary question loomed larjre and forbidding. No man ever fsrgives his wife for making more money than he makes. Neith er dicf my husband forgive me. The man may not show his jealousy openly.

But it's there just the hame. Now the wise wife, vein much in love, will give up her if she makes more than her husband, or, at any rate, she will lop off" enough salary when telling it, to make it less than his. But if she can't then she raises up between herself and her husband abarrior, stern, cruel, forbidding. And that worst jealousy of all, the jealousy of man for woman as his economic rival, will come between them forever. "The economic jealousy he had for ma was so hot and strong that it put other things in the background.

He did not mind if I went to dinner with some other man or if a thousand cavaliers sent me violets. My husband was too pleasingly platonic, in other If, just once, he had blackened my eye, because I thought of some other man, I could have forgiven him every- thing.

Should I rvr rrarried McDonald would ricrht gladly hand thrt rin? rt the ritrht time to my sec-'nd And I would gladly pin the orange bloss ms to the hridr.l cap of his second sweetie. And that's that." Mrs. Elaine who prior to her marriag? was one of the Lees of Virginia, spurned her bus- band's millions and turned for happiness to other things. But the irordc hand of fate has recent-iy inserted itself into the life of Mrs.

Harris. The forbidding presence of Money had destroyed th possibility of happiness in her home, she said, hu: she recently suffered the indignity of having he" trunks attached because she couldn't cT'Ol It appears, from her subsequent staterr.f r.ts, that this Virginia girl, who wed a Nw York banker, wont into marriage expecting great bve above all things. But differences occurred in the game because her husbnr.d acrordd her none of the affection she had been I'd to expect. There was never "another man" or "another woman." There was only Wall Street. What She Most Wanted 9 "I had ad the luxuries in the worin; everything I wanted except one thing," said Mrs.

Harris, "and that was love. And I wanted tD be loved. "On one occasion he even forgot my birthday, and that, too, after I had decorated the house. "I have concluded that th ten commandments are nothing to a husband's happiness Loyalty and devotion are passed up like a bad check. The music which soothes the savage breast is the charm of a soft voice.

"Husbands must be charmed charmed charmed from breakfast to dinner. But being charming twenty-four hour; a day get to monotonous. So I am going to Europe to lead r. quirt life and be myself as I really am." This was just after the break between Mrs. Harris and her husband.

Mr. Harris, when asked to comment on his wife's statemem that he had deficient in love, replied as follows: "The total estimated value of the domestic and foreign commerce of the United States wa approximately $41,000.00.000. Of this total, approximately $20.000,000,000 is represented by manufactures. But while our financial capacity, indicated by the figures above, has so greatly increased and billions of dollars of r.ew capital has been employed in manufacturing lines in recent years, figures on our foreign commerce are rroportior.ate and are 3.
