White nnd his twenty-year-old French
bride, Mrs. Andree Hmlllc Simon AVhlte,
according to a statement bj the latter
here.
"He began to tell me of his plans as
oon as I arrived at his place on the
afternoon of Jlay 0," said Mrs Wnlte
today. "I told htm thnt unless he fixed
the house up would have to leave him.
Tho cooking utensils, for instance, ncrc
encrusted with rust. I told him he
Would hate to purdmse some new fur
niture, for that in the house uns so
dilapidated that one was constantly in
danger of falling to the floor.
" 'You are a Parisian, but you'll get
used to this,' he replied 'You'll think

You must know that true education con
sists in adapting one's self to the nn
Tlronment.' Fried Eggs His Diet
"I said nothing, but I cried The
only food he had in Hie house was eggs,
stale bread and butter. Mr. White said
the butter was some he had saved from
last year. I tasted it he spoke the
truth. In the mornlDg I learned that
Mr. White's normal diet was fried
eggs, bread and water and. as a special i
treat, black coffee I hope never to soe
fried eggs again "
Mrs. White repeated ner storv of her
alleged beating by White the nert dm I
and of how the final break rame on
Thursdaj , her last day at White's
mountain shack. She said that White
frequently talked to her of Ins views on ,
marriage, at one time speaking for three '
hours In the manner of a lecturer. Shel
continued : t
"The ideal marriage, ho said, should'
be a spiritual union. He said that the
minds of husband and wife should be
fused together and that their yinited
brains should be devoted for the better
ment of the world or their resident com
munity. " "He said he did not want nnv chil
dren. He wanted to write a book with
me helping him nnd said that our book
would be our child. Our 'book-child,
lie called It.
Sho Wanted a Home
"Ho said that we would have a happy
mnrrlnffn rilni n rlianen the world.
Ho wanted to establish a colonv of rad
icals with his home as the center ot it.
He pictured me as a sort of a queen of
this group, dispensing wisdom and seeing
Into the future.
"I wanted just a home a clean, de
cent place. I did not want to change
(he world. I did not want to be the
leader of any radical community. I did
not even want to be n radical.
Mr. White, who was found renting In
n swing made out of birch saplings, sow
he did not expect to take the stand
against his w ife in her suit for annul
ment, because be would have to admit
man of the things she had said about
their temperamental differences. Asked
about her reference to their projected
"book-child." he said:

tho hostility of his neighbors, some of
whom gave him a coat of tar and feath

PROTECTION
for Philadelphians
Holmes Electric Protection
covers a much wider field
than mere prevention of bur
glary. Prevention of ANY irregu
larity which may occasion
loss of business or personal
property is a better defini
tion, as evidenced by our
constantly recurring records
of prevention of fires, pre
vention of destructive leaks,
and so on.
The peace of mind that fol
lows such comprehensive se
curity is well worth the mod
erate cost. Over half a cen
tury's success justifies our
saying that
