rpALES OF HOFFMAN" baa no more
X mellifluous melodies than the notes
of harmony that prevailed . in a young
singer's household 10 years ago, when
her husband's family suggested that he
and she could get ahead In the world
better if they' were to separate. Louis
Hoffman was a bookkeeper and his wife
a singer of promise before her marriage.
They had. two children. i f' j
Hoffman today is wealthy, head of a
silk company. Mrs. Hoffman has been
'or some time a member of the Metro
politan Opera company. They have been
apart 10 years, :;. v v
-Thelka Hoffman 'never censured her
husband for his stand In the matter till
a registered letter cs me to her -home in
November. 1919. telling her Hoffman
had secured a divorce from her in the
state of Pennsylvania on the ground of
desertion.
"I could endure anything but that."
she said recently. , ' agreed that we
might get ahead better If we separated
for the time. I kept the children with
me, my husband giving each of them. $10
a week. He gave me nothing. .-. I was
happy, though, to be able to help myself.
I got Into the chorus at the' Metropol
itan. "I agreed with his mother when she
came to my home and talked to my
mother and myself, saying Louis and I
ought to separate so he could succeed.
"Isw their aide of the question and
agreed."'
. i . . .
"There had never been any quarrel
ing or dissension in our home.. Every
thing was decided - agreeably, i I little
dreamed how things would turn out. ..
I am suing now for separation on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treatment.
"But still I am of the opinion that
a person can travel faster alone -witness
my husband's rise in business, not
having me to care for. . . For some time
he has , not: "provided ' for the - children,
either. . Emma Cecelia is 22 now and
Florence August is 25." . -
- In , her complaint ' Mrs. Hoffman, or
Mme. Hoffman as she is known at the
Metropolitan, pit's as one of , his acts
of cruelty her husband's alleged un
faithfulness with other women, taking
the ground that his marriage to another
woman Is only a pretense of a marriage
and constitutes " ground ; for divorce in
this state, f.. . . . '
"My husband tried to get our two
enndren to go ; to - his new home and
meet his new wife. What torture -.for
me that was."
"But don't you think it would be bet
ter to have kept your husband, home
and children together all these years?"
"Not necessarily," she replied thought
fully. "Certainly hot from Mr. Hoff
man's standpoint. His success would
not have come so quickly. I think a sep
aration is a" good thing- sometimes.
"I was always agreeable in regard to
any change he suggested. It . Is cruel
that he should have abused my confi
dence and kindness by . securing a di
vorce from toe in another state. .
,But ,. you see- there was another
woman what a difference the other
woman , makes in a man. How they
forget everything when the other
woman beckons?" s
The atory of "Mrs.. Hoffman's alleged
wronss raises the question whether self
sacrifice is' wise for a woman. Has a
wife who : allows her husband to sep
arate from her, tacitly acknowledging
herself to be burdensome, the right to
expect that she can hope for fair treat
ment?, j s . t .Z-, -"
Men have a way of taking- a woman
at the value she places on herself. If a
woman admits to her husband that Bhe
is an encumbrance and that he could
rise to great heights without her, the
chances are that, he will believe ; what
she says. : - ; . . , .'.;
For what purpose does a s man wish
to succeed if not totnke his dear ones
happy? ; Some , such incentive goads
every man on to greater effort. Once
the direct incentive Is removed, trust to
masculine instinct to replace ' it imme
diately. i
; It would behoove every wife .who
Iovcb her 4UJband. and doesn't wish to
court cruel treatment, not - to let her
lord and master regard her as an en
cumbrance, but to strive - to make him
value her as a precious being, to serve
whom is a privilege.
The very best of women are on this
point of sacrificing- themselves. If Mrs.
Hoffman's separation from her husband
10 years - ago had. this Idea alone as its
basis, then it was a mistxxe.

Chopin's Spirit
Plays Through
Medium in Paris
MKDITJM who. when in a normal
state, does riot know one piano note
from another, but who, whe'n la a trance,
with his eyes closed, rivals the greatest
pianists of t the ae, has Just " demon
strated at Paris before the International
Metapsychlcal institute tinder a guaran
tee of genulnity. by Dr. Oustave Geley,
celebrated -savant and . president of - the
institute. - j
The medium Is Louis Aubert. He has
never had any! musical training: and,
until the age of 18, never played a note
on the piano, j He cannot read music
and, when normal, cannot play the sim
plest piece by ear without mistakes.
Put in a hypnotic state, Aubert exe
cutes with facility; the most complicated
and difficult compositions, bringing out,
according to musical experts, all the
delicate tone ' mastery that the com
posers themselves could have demanded.
..Before the : Institute - Aubert played
selections from : Schubert,: Chopin, Ru
benstein and Bfxct. - ,
. He went to the . piano in a normal
state a pale, sallow-faced, man irt the
early 20s. Dr. Geley laid his, hand on
his head and said. -4.Tou are asleep."
Immediately Aubert's eyes, closed. 5 -"Tou
have before yota," Geley then
told him, "a symphony by Chopin. Play
if" .- .. , .: ' ' ' -'' . '
' Still with eyes closed, Aubert's fingers
unerringly sought the notes and played
the. symphony from beginning to end
without a fault. After that he went
through a long program, always without
a vestige of music before htm and with
out opening his eyes.
After the seanca Aubert was awak
ened -and askd to - play the chorus of
"La Nouvelle Madelon." the most popu
lar song hit of the day In France, which
Is whistled by every boy in the street.
Despite the fact that ha knew the air
perfectly,- Aubert could not play more
than the opening bar on the piano.
One of the musicians who heard him
play-a difficult composition by-Chopin
exclaimed. Tt is Chopin himself!"
"res." said Dr. Geley, ' "It Is Chopin
himself playing from spiritland through
the hands of this medium."
This theory is considered by savants
who believe In spiritism to be not en
tirely Improbable.
' "Tou may be killed but you Can't be
licked.?, .- -

proof of. the unshakable tenacity
in the - course of the German attack of
July 15, 1911. Attacked on the front, as
sailed on tha right and left over many
kilometers, faithful to Its instructions,
it remained, despite everything, on the
bank of the Marne, hurled back the en
emy, superior in number, and took over
800 prisoners."
.Referring; to the battle. General Mc
Alexander said:
"There was only one thing that saved
ns and that was the spirit to kill or ba
killed. And I want to say I was willing
to Sacrifice the regiment and myself
with them rather than yield a foot of
ground to those Oermans. I gave orders
to my men to hold their sector until they
had orders to retire and they were just
as anxious to hold their ground as the
colonel was to have them hold It. The
books ' say that when your casualties
have reached one-third you are out of
action. But I want to tell you of one
company that when 70 per cent ef its
men were casualties organised the re
maining 30 per cent In a counter charge
and Captured 410 prisoners. The men
were as a unit. There waa nothing but
shoulder to shoulder work, with every
thing to deslra and nothing to fear,"
said General McAlexander.
HOW TO TRAIN REGIMENT
Speaking the efficiency ef a regiment.
General McAlexander had this to cay :
"Do you wish an Invincible, uncon
querable regiment? Then organire it,
administer it, train it and fight it along
invincible and unconquerable linen. Im
bue It with the pride that scoffs at dan
ger. Inspire it with a soul of Intrepidity
and honor, and make It to know that its
defeat is impossible, that they may kill
but that it cannot be conquered. '
- General Ulysses McAlexander re
ceived his given name from the late
General Ulysses Orant. In speaking of
the threat made by the kaiser to be In
Paf by midnight. July 17, 1918. where
he had said a supper party awaited him,
General McAlexander said :
"I can't say that I was sorry to dis
appoint the kaiser and his friends, but
he should not have been too hasty. Had
it not been for the American troops he
might haveakept his. word, but I sueas
the Thirty-eighth spoiled his Intentions."
Beautiful Bandit
The Paris "police have Just rounded
up a band of apaches who hnve teen
holding up belated pedestrians In the
suburbs of Paris and have atno perpe
trated several burglaries. The. chief of
this band , Is a young and beautiful
woman, 21 years of age. Bhe is known
as "L'Almee." Each member of .her
gang has for his nickname a day ftf the
week, from "Monday" to "Saturday."
There was-no seventh member of the
gang, consequently no Sunday," and
on Sunday the gang rente.
