With First Leve
STICKS TO TATTERED TOGS
ON MISSION OF MYSTERY
Charles Garland, eccentric young
Bosten millionaire, who believes in
"soul twins" nnd "soul triplets,"
tee came te Philadelphia today with
his wife.
That's a large rnttvnent, for Charles
Garland. He admit the lady is his
wife, and she admits it, but further
than that neither he nor she has any
thing te say.
Garland achieved notoriety when
Lilllnn Cenrad, Philadelphia girl, told
the world that she was bis "soul
twin." Gnrlnnd himself declared thnt
ln his opinion the man who truly
could love two women had n mere ex
pansive soul than the man whose heart
wns unalterably given te one. '
He went a step further, and regis
tered Ids burning faith In the magnani
mity of the mnn who could love net only
two, but three. Net long nfter Miss
Deris Bensen, nlse of Bosten, put Gar
land in this enviable class by announc
ing she was Garland's "soul triplet."
The fact that Garland is here with
his mere wife sounds prestiic, but tnkes
en importance in view of the fact that
Mrs. Garland declared she would have
nothing te de with her husband, until
he get rid of this litter of loves.
Still Rebels Against Wealth
Garland urrt his wife nrrlved nt 7:45
o'clock this morning from Bosten. TJbe
millionaire Is still expressing his re
bellion -against wealth which he ac
cepted only for the sake of bis child,
he said, by wearing clothes that leek
like a penance.
When he get off the train nt Bread
Street Station he was ail dolled up in
n soiled and wrinkled suit e old cor
duroys with knickerbockers, lip had n
nendfheri.pt cap en his tumbled hnlr
and were an old gray overcoat, which
hung straight and limn from bis bread,
square shoulders. On his feet wns a
battered pair of scuffed brown nrmy
shoes. If be bad any of bis million or
se along It did net show en his back.
Garland is n tall nnd rangy man,
lithe nnd lean, with very square, bread
shoulders. He has a dark face, with hol
low cheeks, nnd deepset eyes. He wears
n dinky little mustache cnrefullv trained
at the ends. Though apparently geed at
malting love, no nad nothing te say for
publication.
His wife is much shorter than he Is.
She is pretty, nnd wns neatly dressed,
without any great attempt at style.
She were a long ulster ever n plain
suit.

son for visiting Philadelphia were kept
carefully te themselves. They did a hit
