Into the elevator and dlaj,prarcd a low
minutes later into her room. The next
morning when she was walking through
the hall of the hotel a friend from hor
native Germany met her, and before she
-ould get out of the way stopped to greet
hor. t
"I didn't know that you hud come here
with your husbund," said the other woman.
"I saw that he had a great success the
other night at his first recital. Where have
you kept yourself all the time?"
Then the wife of the virtuoso, after be
seeching her friend not to mention that she
had seen her, told of her agreeable sojourn
In New York.
Her husband's manager had put Into his
contract with the pianist a stipulation that
his wife must stay at home. Ho said that
American women did not like to go to con
certs when the plantat was a married man.
Matinee Idols had to be single.
These terms (were accepted. At the last
minute, however, the husband and wife
decided that they would not bo parted,
and sho came with him to New York.
Fear of arousing the anger of her hus
band's manager, who allowed her to remain
hers on condition that nobody learned of
her presence, causod the woman to leave
the hotel only after dark. Then she veiled
herself so heavily as to bo unrecognizable.
Bho hud done everything posHiblu to keep
secret the fact that she existed.
That was a former view of the musician's
wife, but It does not prevail today. Luck
ily, methods , of advertisement have
changed, else the epidemic of matrimony
that has lately swept through the world of
virtuosos would make the work of tho man
agers very much harderthan It Is.
If Amerk-un women were renlly prejudiced
against the artist with tho wifo it would
this seuson be hard for them to And any
concert to go 'to. About every visiting
musician In the United States this year
has brought a wife with him. Tho possible
exception to this rule is Vladmlr do Pach
mnnn, and he Is a gTass widower.
Josef Hofniann, Fritz Krelslor, Jean
Gerurdy, Mark Hambourg, Ernest Schell
Ing, Jan Kubelik, Harold Bauer all these
virtuosos are oming here during the pres
ent season with new wives. That their
managers are making no secret of the fact'
may be influenced by tho present popularity
of M. IJadcrewBkl.
Ho is making his second visit here with
his wifo and every seat In Carnegie hall
was sold two weeks before the first concert.
Matrimony has not been able- to affect
his popularity. Whether the case of tho
great Polish pianist had anything to do
with the emancipation of wives of the
artists, It Is certain that they are no longer
kept In confinement. '
Hofmann, Gerardy, Hambotirg arid
Krelsler all selected wives from English
speaking countries. Mrs. Hofmann and
Mrs. Kreislr.r are Americans. Mrs. Ham
bourg Is Scotch and Mrs. Gerardy comes
from Australia. Mrs. Hi-hemng wus a New
York girl.
None of these marriages was more char
acteristic of the artist's life than Gerardy's.
Ho became engaged to Matilda McQuade
of Sydney three years ago while playing
in Australia. She Is the daughter of a
wealthy family and musical In lh?r tastes.
Before she had a munlcal hjsband to go
about with she always traveled with a
grand piano. No time was at first set

had engagements for some months In ad

niodier started for London, where the wed
ding was to take place.
The Jong journey from Australia wus
made longer by unexpected delays, and
when the two reached the English capital
Gerardy had been compelled to sail for
Bouth Africa, where, he had other engage

The marriage of Mark Ilambourg to the
daughter of a man of title had elements of
romance to all who remembered that not
many years ago the Russian father of the
three gifted Ilambourg boys was brought
Mis. Ilambourg is here with her husband,

has red hair and brown eyes, which makes
her color scheme much the same as that of
her husband,
Mrs. Ilofmunn is dark and was bom in
New Orleans, of Creole Btock, which shows
In her appearance. She Is some years the
senior of her husband.
Perhaps of all the artists who have come
recently to this country none was ever
mora admired by women than Kubelik

Both Mrs. Krelsler and Mrs. Schelling
are Americana. Mrs. Krelsler, who was a
Miss Lees of this city, met her husbund
while he was muking a concert tour In thin
country. Later he cumo out hero to marry
her.
Ernest Schelling married Miss Julia
Draper, an neircss, who lived with her
mother and brother at her home on Fifth
avenue between Forty-eighth and Forty
ninth streets. After her marrlugo to the
young American pianist tho two went
abroad to live, and for a long time Mr.

through the terrible storm. In lsio came
the demand from every side for Lincoln's
withdrawal. Tho president fi it-that yield

In the November American Magazine Ida
M. Tarbeil tells another "He Knew Lin
coln" story. Tho man who knew Lincoln
was a druggist in Borlntrfleld. Ill H.,r i.
his account of one Important event, as re
corded by Miss Tarbell:
"You remember what the Kansas-Nebraska
bill was don't you let Kansas and
Nebraska In as territories and the same
lime repealed the Missouri compromise
keeping slavery out of that part of the
country, let the people have It or not. Just
as they wanted. Vou ain't no Idee how
that bill stirred up Mr. Lincoln. I'll never
forgit how be took Its passln'. "Twas long
back In the spring of 'W. Lot of 'em was
ettln' In here tellln' stories and Mr. Lin
coln was right In the middle of one when
In bounced Billy Herndon he was Lin
coln's law partner, you know. His eyes was
blaitn' and he rails out. They've dona It,
boys. They've done It. They've upset the
M'ssrturl compromise. The Kansas-Nebraska
bill Is passed.'
'For a minute t-verybody was still as
death everybody but me. 'Hoorah!' I calls
out. 'you can bet on Little Dug every time,'
for I was a democrat and, barrln' George
Washington nnd Thomus Jefferson, I
thought Douglas wus tho biggest man God
ever made. Didn't know no more what
that bill meunt than that bit tom-cat in the
window.
" 'Hoorah:' 1 says, and then I happened
to look ut Mr. Lincoln.
' He was ull in a heap, Ms head dropped
down on I. is breast, and there ho sat und
never spoke, end then after n lonor time ho
f;ot up and went out. Never finished that
story, never said 'liood-by, liys.' like he
always did, never took notice of nuthln',
.1ut went out, his face gray and ftern, and
his eyes not seein' ut all."
Senator Hut-Lett's ".New Woman."
Senator Durkett of Nebraska bus found
from his Chautauqua experience of the last
summer, relates the Chicago Tribuiwe, that
human intirett speeches are the ones that
appeal to the American audience from
whatever section is it drawn. His most
popular address was entitled "The New
Woman and the Young Man." tho former
Wing used, of course, to l'urnw-!i the humor
and also to show the great part played by
American feminity In the development of
out national life. On one occasion the sen
ator was preceded by a woman who c;ol.e
on the buneful effects ot cigurettes uimn
tho growing generation.
"The result Is." she deelu lined, "the coun
try Is going to perdition. It is a pernicious
hublt, one that calls for instant and stern
repression. Save our youth, save our youth,
and save our country."
Speaking directly to tho female orator,
Senutor Burkett said during his uddress:
"Fifty years ago women smoked pipes.
You get up and larrup the world because
young men smoke cigarettes. I tell you.
we have redeemed your grandmother, and
the future generation will suy It has re
deemed you."
Harrison Mad Good Ills Promise.
Dr. J. N. McCormick of Bowling tjrecn,
Ky., tn conversation with Drs Bray ton
Totter and other physicians, told a llttla
story of the late Oeneral Benjamin Harri
son. "During the civil war," said the doc
tor, "Colonel Harrison for he was then
colonel was for a time In command at
Bowling Oreen. Many soldiers were sick,
and he appropriated the hotel of the place,
the Mitchell House, for use as a hospital.
Mr. Mitchell murmured somewhat, but had
to give way to military necessity. Colonel
Harrison assuring hltn that he should be
paid for the use of the house, even though
Harrison should have to pay out of his
own pocket The war ended and the years
went on. Mr. Mitchell was well to do and
presented no claim. Finally, when Harri
son became president of the United States.
Mr. Mitchell concluded to send his bill di

President Harrison sent him tuo check for
