When Henry Field died, live
'ttenths after marrying a beautiful

Albert "Buddy" Jehnsen, nephew
of the late Tem Jehnsen, four times

Their wedded life has been happy.
At leas$ the public has never heard

Jehnsen, gravely wounded, said
the revolver was accidentally dis

stated, was with her husband when

Says Yeung Millionaire
Agreed te Support Sen
"After Henry Field and Peggy Marsh
had erred they acted pretty decently en
both sides," said Judge Dunne. "When
faced with maternity Peggy Marsh was
neither a coward nor an Infanticide.
She bestowed upon her son the love of
a mother. Henry Field proved himself
te be a man. He lavlehed money upon
the son and the mother, left nothing
undone that would add te their com
fort, and before marrying signed a con
tract te support them."
The attorney then introduced a ceny
of the acrceincnt. According te the
contract Mr. Field was te pay Bliss
Marsh during their joint lives $10,000
n year for the support of herself and
the boy. As the boy became five and
ten years old the sum was te be In
creased bv $2500. te go toward his edu
cation. Mr. Field also took out an in
surance policy for $100,000, of which
in the event 'of his death $20,000 would
go te the mother and the child, and the
his who had met me. I was appear'
ing at the Gaiety Theatre en the HtraM
in a musical comedy, and Mr. Field r ,
ranged a 'supper one evening after the !
performance. I attended under the es

There the matter stands as far ns the
county authorities are concerned, ap
parently. . , ,
Peggy nnd "Buddy ' Jehnsen have
been married new for twenty months,
long enough for ,the honeymoon rnp
tures te be succeeded by loving compan
ionship or disillusion.
Has Peggy changed her attitude to
ward marriage and the problem of mated
lives?
The Blender, graceful young woman
who danced her way into the heart of
Henry Field did net give two bnnps of
her tapering lingers for the marriage
ceremony. , , ,.
Even thrce years after field's death,
as the husband of another woman, and
only a year before her marringe te
Jehnsen, Peggy expressed vlewR about
wedlock, which shocked friend and enemy
alike' . , ,, t , .
"1 am convinced thnt in n fiiw years
the necessity of a marriage ceremony
will be den away with," she said.
"I believe that people are coming
mero nnd mere te renllze that true af
fection should be the bend between a
nan and a woman n.nd net the rigid
chnlns of the law.
"Nature tells every woman that she
has a right te motherhood and thnt that
Is the fulfillment of her life. I de net
see hew the marriage ceremony can
make or mar that right. ,
"Surely, when a woman love a man
It is Iter right for that mnn te he the
father of her children If the economic
welfare of her children Is provided for.
Scorn of Society Is
Deemed Uncalled Fer
"The penalty Indicted by society
upon the unmarried mother who cannot
provlde for her child nnd whose father
makes no prevision for It Is tee cruel
for many women te enter bnt state ut
"There are thousands of couples who
live together wholly because their af
fection keeps them together, nnd are
truly happy, although unmarried,
Often after marriage the novelty wears
off. .The man thinks: 'Well, she is
mine new, I can de as I like.' Often
the woman feels that she is tied for
ever. A . .,
"They tmw btc two. miserable

mortals, whereas If there had been no
lccal mnrrlnec there would have been
Ine thought In either mind of the com
pulsien te stay nnu, mere tnan nseiy,
no wish te separate.
"I think that a man nnd a woman
should live together eidy us long as
they carQ for one another. 'J'i.e ltrbt
five years of companionship will tell
them if they -are deeply enough te live
together the rest of their lives."
But in -the next breath, Peggy nlrlly
tried te sweep away the consequences
which even she realised would result
from her radical doctrine of mated
love.
"I de net mean," she said, "that
men should flit from one woman te an
other, or thnt women should flit from
one man te another. That Is, of course,
wrong."
Wanted Peggy te Hide
Her Remance Abroad
This flaunting of her views en love
must have been call te Marshall Field,
3d, brother of Henry nnd grandson of
the founder of the Field fortune.
Marshall F.lcld, 3d, and his wife,
who was Evelyn Martin, a New Yerk
society girl, have their hearts set en
brilliant social triumphs en that glam glam glam
oueous Isle of Manhattan,
The Marshall Fields are building a
wonderful home there. The site is in the
most fashionable block of East Sixty
ninth street. The house will have a big
ballroom and an unusually large num
ber of guest chambers, indicative of
plans for extensive entertaining.
The situation carelessly created by
Peggy and Henry Field in a dazzle of
youth, love and luxury has been a bitter
embarrassment te the Field family.
The Fields would have liked te see
Peggy tuck herself away in some re
mote corner of Europe, or Asia, for
that matter. They would huve been
content if Peggy had been caught by
the reputed lure of the Seuth nea isles
and passed her life In nn atmosphere of
cocoanuts, palm trees and grass sklr(s.

Peggy Marsh in her English "love nest," which she left te return
te America te make futile fight te have son share in millions of
Marshall Field estate
Fields, anxious te have Henry's wild
eats forgotten.
Discreet advances were made te f.ir
mer Governer Dunne, of Illinois,
Peggy's attorney. An annuity of $4000
was offered the dancer If she would ex
ile herself from New Yerk nnil live
either In Europe" or far away In the
West.
But Peggy's "Ne, thank you," was
net less emphatic because it was framed
in tne Dest legal phroee!ogy that ex
Judge Dunne has at his command.
And what was mere, she went gnlly
ahead 'with her plans for a stage ca
reer. "Buddy" Jehnsen hud tried his
nana ns a stecK broker, lie Had geed
business bleed in him, inhcilted from
his father, who was president of the
Nassau Uallread Company,
But the business bleed wns counter
balanced by n nimble dancing ability
and an indefinable something that waf
a heritage of war service. Hundreds of
returned fighting men found humdium
business impossible after the excite
ments of war.
Urged by Peggy, Jehnsen also de
cided en a stage career. He was a geed
dancer when he met the former chorus
girl, and he became a better dunicr
under her expert tutelage.
The tracks were clear, the signal
were set the right way and success
twinkled up the line for the young cou
ple. It wns even rumored that Peggy's
oceans of publicity would net harm
them as box-office attractions.
But on-eunco or less of lead may
change all thnt.
And what of Utile Henry Field John John Jehn
eon, Peggy's darling "Teny"?
' Although acknowledged Informally as
the child of Henry Field, he is net
embarrassment te the raillleairs Heary Field's "issue" in th'e eyes et
the law. The Supreme Court of Illi
nois decided that, after hotly fought
battles In the lower courts. More than
$1,000,000 was spent in legal fees, the
Field estnte paying the piper.
Peggy's whele fight te make six -year-old,
"Teny" a multi-millionaire re
volved around that one word "isbiic."
Field Millions Tied Up
by Well-Rivited Will
Marshall Field, the Chicago mer
chant tied up his millions in a copper
riveted trust fund for eventual distri
bution among his grandsons, Henry and
JMnrslmll, oil.
In his will the merchant directed
that if either died "without issue" be be bo
fero the final distribution of the estate,
his share was te go te the surviving
brother.
In summing up their nrguments. the
nitemeys ler reggy ana "Teny, or
"Bunny," as she sometimes called the
boy, contended that Henry Field left
"Issue" when he died unexpectedly In
July. 1017.
Thny pointed te Henry Antheny
Marsh, new Henry Field Jehnsen, and
said: "There IsHlie issue."
In meeting this contention, the attor
neys for the Field estnte Insisted that
the founder of the fortune meant "legal
issue." They also pointed te the boy
and said:
"He may be the Issue te Henry Field ;
we de net dispute it: but he is net
the legnl, lawful, legitimate Issue, such
ns the will stipulated. In the eyes of
the law Henry Field died chlldlebs."
This latter contention was upheld by
the various Judges who Passed en the
case.' among them Jurise Dennis K.
