"DOUGLAS-KITTEN"
NOTES IN NEW SUIT
Letters Which Won Separation
for Mellen Figure in Ali
mony Action
New York, July 31. "Womnn, gen
tle woman, thou hiist the subtle cruelty
of a thousand jungles."
Bo last night mused Harry Douglas
Brown in accepting the fact ho is once
more to figure in the public eye as the
"dear Douglas" of the famous "Doug-las-Kltten"
letters.
Last fall the letters won a separa
tion for the elderly Charles S. Mellen,
former president of the New Haven
Railroad. Now they are to be used sim
ilarly by Mrs. Margaret Mackin Brown,
who seeks separation and nllmony.
In the complaint Mrs. Brown stressed
her husband's friendship for Mrs. Mel
len and pointed for the proof to the
"dear Douglas " missives, alleging she
had turned these letters over to Mr.
Mellen when he sought to right his
topiy-turvy domestic affairs.
"A? spiteful desire at persecution is
behind' this -suit," says Mr. Brown.
"There is a man 'higher up' in it, a
man who is Interested in going to the
ends of the earth to wreak vengeance
upon Mrs. Mellen and myself. If he
presses me too far I shall have to tell
some very unpleasant truths about
him.
