wife does not fawn upon nor offer
idle compliments In order to get some
favor. She often must tell unpleas

, Her views upon this phase of mar

Mrs. Anne Urquart Potter Stiiinmn,
when she gave an interview at the

Mrs. StUlman, who has been bitterly
and publifly attacked by her husband,
James A, StUlman, nevertheless main
tains her composure and 4n able calm

Seen face to face even in the
.strong and revealing glare of the
afternoon sun, Mrs. Stillman seems
to have none of the tired and disil
lusioned look that is faintly suggested
in some of her photographs. No trace
of make-up has contributed to her
fresh and blooming appearance. A
little fatigued from the long hearing
in court during the hot midday, she
nevertheless graciously consents to
talk over matters just a little more,

"Woman has coached ' and aided

continues,
"The real woman puts those she
loves ahead. Man has a little the best

not able to get around women s

they got around women who love
