"I’d rather have an artist for a husband than a business man." So declared Mrs. James Montgomery Flagg, bride of the famous Illus trator and a former New York model, when asked for inside information on artistic temperaments. Mrs, Flagg’s ardent declaration in' favor of art over business came fol lowing a free admission that artists are temperamentar and that tempera mental people are not always easy to live with. "We Both Suffer." "But you see she’s Just ns tempera mental as I am,” countered Mr. Flagg, "so we both suffer a little. But It’s worth It." The Flaggs fpent Tuesday In Oma ha. They are en route to New Tork by motor, and having driven to the west coast on their honeymoon over the Santa Fo trail they are returning on the Lincoln highway. Mrs. Flagg was questioned con cerning reports that she had turned down the proposals of her husband two or three times before accepting him for better or worse. "Wouldn't You?” "Look at him.” she responded, laughingly. "If you were a girl wouldn't you turn him down two or three times before marrying him?" To this her very much tanned hus band responded: "Well, persistence finally won. I admit I had a hard time winning, but here we are, In a manner of speaking. We were mar ried May 10 at the Little Church Around the Corner In New York and we're still married, which Is some thing, after all.” Mrs. Flagg was formerly Miss Dor othy Wadman, the model for scores of Mr. Flagg's knagazina Illustrations. The Wadman profile, the Wadman figure, the Wadman hair—which is not bobbed—and the Wadman ankle all have added grace to many a short story and serial, as reproduced by Flagg's skillful brush. “(Jute Y'oung Enough.” But Flagg was not satisfied to cap ture his model on canvas alone. He conducted a whirlwind suit, now quite famous, and Is now saving money by not paying It out as salaries to models. Flagg Is 47 years old and doesn’t mind telling his age to the wide and sometimes wicked world. Mrs. Flagg sees no need for broadcasting his "advanced years,” declaring he is quite young enough to he "awful'y nice," and that he "doesn't look half that old." The model-bride la worried over two things: First, she doesn't like the freckles whlfh have appeared on her extraor dinarily fair countenance since they began their motor-honeymoon trip, and, second, she’s afraid she's get ting fat. "But, even though I may not he as good looking ns when we started from New York, I've enjoyed the trip," quoth Mrs. Flagg. "I thought Los Angeles and San Francisco were wonderful cities, but I wouldn't want to live at either place. It seemed to me that women simply dressed to please men, devoted their lives to that and nothing else out there. Of course, that was only an Impression.” The Flaggs were guests of William S. Hart while In California, and Mr. Flagg was wearing a wide sombrero presented to him by Hart.

The structure will be between three and six stories high and will cost over $300,000 or $50,000 more than the building to have been built on the former site. The new building will contain a swimming pool, tennis courts, a large auditorium and a gymnasium. It will house all Jewish organizations in greater Omaha. The building Is expected to be com pleted by next June. The building and site committee consists of Harry Eapidus, Joe Wolf, Harry Malashock, Henry Monsky, Harry Wolf and William Holzman.
