1515 THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: FEBRUARY 23, 191i. i ! l 5 y i Perfection and Contrast of Conjugal Love Personified in Triangle Comedy By JOHN KENNEBECK Do husbands live up to a perfec tion of love for their wives? Does the conjugal love of hus band for wife last? Is the modern husband a Locliin var, so faithful in love, so dauntless in trouble? . Here is a story of two types of husbands, one staunchly standing by his wife in her pain and alleged rong-doing$, the other ably choos fcif? his distance from his family while the frail wife alone deliber ates unceasingly upon a plea for her defense of a criminal charge against lier. Mrs. Len V. Van Ausdell shot Mrs. C. B. Ijanis, wife of a wealthy eastern packing-house executive, through the back, victoriously cry ing: "You've stolen my husband. "You've wrecked my home. Now 1 hope you die." Husband Deserts Her. The husband replies to his plead ing wife: "Stick by you after what you've done? Never." Mrs. C. B. Ijams lies in the hos pital at the point of death. Her Juisband, the other type of man, is constantly at her bedside in a spirit of prayer for her recovery. He has tened from Detroit when he heard his wife had been shot. Conjugal love in both cases is at stake. Ever watchful, ever loving, ever cheerful, the husband of the victim of an intended fatal shot is t the bedside of his wife. Unrepentant, without care' for his family and faithless to his marriage vows, the husband of the frail pris oner takes a stand against his wife. Lacking the indomitable courage that might be afforded her by the Jiusband in her plight, Mrs. Van Ausdell must face the court alone to feel the humanity of justice. Husbands to Clash? The verbal clash between the two husbands must come. The peace ful spirit of one is exemplified in the words: "Why should I talk to Van Ausdell about the case? I have nothing to say to him. My whole anxiety is for my wife." The de fiant spirit of the other is exempli fied in words to his wife: "I'll never Stick by you." j Defying the pleadings of his two daughters, Monrieve and Gaynelle, that he return to his family, Van Ausdell makes a flat refusal. For the rest of their lives, the mother and two daughters must feel the pangs of the deeds that caused a broken home. They pleaded with the father to return to the home, and finally in the mother's present mis fortune and anxiety, to make a stand for her defense. Finding their plead ings in vain, Monrieve Van Ausdell, the elder of the two daughters, wrote the following: "In a case of this kind, I hardly find how father can completely turn down Gaynelle and me, after we have tried so hard to do -what is right to him always, never in any way showing him any disrespect un til this happened. His assertion that mother was insanely jealous is not true. In this statement he must Van Ausdell Who Turns from His Accused Wife ' 1 refer to the many times she has begged him with tears in her eyes to do what we thought to be right in supporting the family, so that no bad reflection could be cast upon us girls through his actions of the last two years. NoTemperamental Fits. "'Threatening his life repeatedly and fits of violent temper' were never a part of mother's disposition since I have known her. Her pa tience for standing this as long as she did is more than most any one could endure. 'The trivial incidents' of which he speaks must be the many times he has taken this woman to different restaurants in the city (two times, of which I can recall, on money that I drew on my ac count to provide our family with food over Saturday and Sunday); the number of times he has left her residence at 5 and 6 o'clock Sunday mornings, and the fact that she called up the exemption board re peatedly last fall in my mother's name. - "Father has made good money since we have been in Omaha, but we haven't spent any of it except what he has paid for rent; and he never would have done that much for us had Sister Gaynelle been of age. When the court decided, at the time of his arrest for nonsup port, upon the amount of support we were to receive from father, he went to work as a common laborer so he wouldn't have to pay to us that paltry sum of $60 a month. Borrowed Money From Daughter. "Two years ago, he borrowed $50 from me. He told me he was going to use it for expense money. I have never received a cent of it yet, and he laughs in my fac; when I ask for it. "Yes, father stood it until four weeks ago, and then left the liouse because I told him I could not af ford to see a man of his character going to and from our home. "We don't want father to take our side in this affair now, because he never helped us in any way before. (Signed) MONRIEVE VAN AUSDELL. So with the mother, Mrs. Van Ausdell, wan and marked with worry, receiving the tender affec tion and encouragement of her two daughters, the husband retains his stand against her, while the wound ed Mrs. Ijams lies in the hospital in full faith and confidence in the love of her husband, constantly at her bedside. The imperfection and perfection of conjugal love arc personified in the two types. Omaha Jews to Raise $300,000 for Jewish Educational Fund Arnold M.

IN NEW 15-STORY SKYSCRAPER Old Telephone Building in the Heart of City is on Market for Half Million Dollars., With the exception of the Tyler and Douglas exchange equipment, the Nebraska Telephone company has completed removal into its new 15-story -building at the northwest corner of Nineteenth and Douglas streets. The west portion of the building formerly occupied by the telephone company are now vacant. Several months will be required, to vacate the corner building at Eighteenth and Douglas because of exchange equipment there. Appraised at $500,000. However, these buildings have all been placed on the market. They have been appraised at $500,000. The older buildings, while all jnioed, are known as three build ings. They have a total frontage of 198 feet on Douglas street. The east one has 66 feet on Eighteenth and the west one goes back 132 feet. The buildings that are on the mar ket, according to II. A. Tukey, in charge of them, are in first class condition. They are being vacated merely because the telephone com pany doesn't need them. Portions of the old building that contained toll boards are now being vacated by means of installation of new toll boards in the new building. The new building, in addition to housing offices that were in the com pany's own buildings, is now taking care of offices that were in rented space in the Brandeis and Kennedy buildings.
