Attorney for the Club <I<M}yn & Joslyn, Woodstock 'lCfcchanical Service Station Phaln's Garage Pearl Street WO years after her marriage Ina Mullins began to think she had made a mistake. Tom Mullins .was all right. In fact he was a little more than that,-because , as time went on. she began to realize new things about him. Force, executive ability, determination, not unmixed with tendferness. In the brief period of their marriage he had gone forward astonishingly in his business and had matured in the finest sense of thfe word. The root of the evil of discontent had its beginnings in a situation that wis quite outside the matter of her relationships with her, husband. Ina did not quite realize this, foF *he was « type of woman who is not keen on Self ana lysis. She only knew that as the second year of her marriagje dretf to its conclusion there was gathering in, her breast a tightening knot of unrest. ; v* . „ Tom himself was sure, and rightly so, that he could have placed his finger upOn the beginnings of thfe rift between them. * „As a girl Ina had manifested a flair for painting. One of rher watercolors had been sold' from an amateur exhibition at two hundred dollars while she was still a girl In school. It was after the birth of her child that Ina once more began to resume her painting. It was her way of warding off what she feared would be the mehace of domestic routine. Mullins was well able to afford., sufficient help to keep the mind of Ina clear of household minutiae, and she began early In her marriage to see to it that the conventional routine of married life did not close her in. For instance, she made It her business, after engaging the services of a competent -practical nurse, to pack her palettes, brushes and easels into her pretty dark blue sedan every mornifig and go off into the woods or into the art galleries to sketch, copy oi* paint. , When her little girl was three'years old, one of Ina's oil paintings, "Revery," received honorable mention in a prominent exhibition. It was right there Tom always felt he could have placed his finger* on the beginnings of the end. Ina began to Indulge in the wellknown psychology of the woman who feels that she. has thrown a carter And .talent to the dogs, by virtue of having married. Ina began to cultivate an "art-set," so to speak. Tom, who was proud enough, in his way, of his wife's talent, encouraged this and even though he found little in common with the rather special folk wh<j began to crowd into his home at odd hours, he was a man of sufficient mental accomplishment to respect the creative in others. When things, however, began to go will.v-nilly, as Inevitably they did,'when Ina cast her lot more and more with the so-called bohemian groups who were glad of the opportunity to Invade her comfortable home, Tom attempted to put his foot on the brakes. But too late, j, The smoldering suspicion within Ina Mullins that she had thrown herself away was a raging fire by now. She wanted out. She wanted out of ithe confinement of household; out of the conservative regime that enclosed* her as the wife of a conservative business man. It was from that point that Tom Mullins ceased to put up his fight He was not a bad psychologist, but- perhaps he failed In the qqalfty of persistence that might have been necessary to subdue in Ina certain illusions of self-grandeur.' He ceased putting up his fight because it seemed to him . that the things which he not only desired but required Jn a wife were palpably not to be found in Ina, , Tbe subject of divorce was calmly discussed between them. Tom, with a natural conservatism of the male, and with an inborn abhorrence for notoriety, was willing to permit Ina to try an additional year of adjustment before coming to the drastic act of separation. Much" |6S tfe despised what he had come to regard as the pretentious fol-de-rol, pseudo-bohemian groups with which she had surrounded Herself; he agreed to maintain Ina in a flat in the bohemian Section of the city for a period of a welvemonth pending certain mental readjustments that he hoped_ would take place in her mind. Ina, champing at the bit, rebellious, discontented, tired of conservatism, yearning for the Latin quarters of Paris and the Greenwich village of Kew York, held ont for immediate action. As usual, th^ matter of the child Iras controversial. The daughter of Ina and "Tom, Greta, aged three, became a bone of contention. But In the «nd it became apparent even to the rebellious Ina' herself, that the kind of life that lay ahead of her, the life of the studio, was not the ideal one in which to rear a child. It was here that Tom Mullins saw his advantage and pursued it. He agreed finally to divorce Ina and grant her sufficient alimony on which to live, but only on condition that jhe surrender Greta. It was with a genuine another pang that Ina finally agreed to this, her mi* lirivHimtttinrii • CHICAGO MOTOR CLUB 109 Dean St., Woodstock Gentlemen: Without any obligation on my part, please let me hare further information on the of MIIMUimMIMIW Nmm. consolation lying In the fact that to so doing she was convinced that the greater good of her child lay in her heart And so it was. Certainly the subsequent environment of Greta Mullins, in the home of her father, and even after he had married again and introduced a stepmother into thai home, was a safer, sounder one than any Ina would have been able to prOvide for her In the years to come. To Paris Ina went, living there for three years on the left bank of the Seine, enjoying its comarajlerief carrying on the loose, pleasant vagabond life; of the studios, working a little, playing tm.it-; iniking a great deal of art, accomplishing not so much. Tlien there were months of the easy-come, easy-go life along the Italian riviera and. in the little art colonies that flock to Capri,, In her own eyes At leasts Ina be came a sort of beloved vagabond, fche pftlnted a great deal, mostly where l i t tie art colonies were foregathered, but somehow, after the- first flash in the pan of her talent, fdrther accomplishment did not come out of the hit-and-miss existence it pleased her -to follow. Bc#iemia took too much'of .her time.iArty folk cluttered up what should have been worka day hours. It was pleasanter to sit in a studio discussing art than to sit in a studio indulging in art • ' •.. , V.;};f;' '- And so the years marched' on, # good many..of them; before Ina began to experience her first pangs of realizations. The first realizations were that the world of her boheitnitt wasa shifting one. Why, In the ten; years since she had been living here-andthere, faces had come and faces had gone. Young students had flashed into the scene and then somehow had drifted out of the scene. A few of them had gone on to accomplishment and fame. But most of them, in fact the appalling majority of them, had Just dropped out. Constantly Ina was receiving letters from erstwhile friends; art students who had come to Paris from Indiana, Sussex, tany, Sicily and -had drifted back home again, there to settle do\jrn to commercial life, marriage, obscurity. It seemed to Ina, looking hack, that 99 per cent of the inhabitants of her Bohemia had passed in the night, so to speak. They had dabbled a bit, and had returned to the stabler products . of business, marriage, nnd home-life. When Ina was forty, she was rather a scrawny, arty-looking woman, who wot-e homespun, sandals. _ berets and had nicotine-retained fingers. She still moved about from bohemia to bolieniin. She still sat in the candle-lit cafes of this and that Latin quarter, smoking, drinking, discussing «rt--discussing art--discussing art, Yearly she submitted her work to this and that salon; yearly It failed to Achieve distinction. "After a while, Ina found herself working practically not at all. The business of being a bohemian monopolized her entire time. J There came the night when, sitting in • cellar cafe known as "The -Green Thick51 +n ihe Greenwich villnpe tTlct of New York, she found herself next to a table occupied by her husband. his second wife and her daughter Greta. The Tom Mullinses were on a business trip to New York and Tom was slumming with his wife and daughter. Tom and Ina Were modern- about this meeting of theirs. And So, for that matter, was the extremely blond and personable Pauline whom Tom had chosen for his second wife. Greta ^was the one who caught at the heartbeat of Ina. It smote her with sudden terribleness, that she would never have recognized this exotic and lovely young woman as her daughter, had she met her on the -street. It was' more of a shock to Ina than anything that had ever happened to her. After that shock, however, tl^e meeting went on In what would be considered the ultra-modern manner. Ina, In her homespun, sandals, and beret. Joined the Tom Mullinses at their table. They smoked, Joked, ate and drank In the stuffy little Interior, and Ina took great pains to point oat. to them the notorious figures of her bohemia. To the -casual observer, It was Just any meeting in any stuffy Greenwich village cafe. The Tom Mullinses were 'charming to Ina. Pauline Mullins displayed fine sense of humor, anti the lovely Greta, regarding her mother with sweet, unawakened, unflabbergasted eyes, wag all that could be desired In courtesy. It was after midnight when the group at the tables finally broke up. Pauline Mullins was concerned for her stepdaughter. Greta had been up too late on several consecutive nights;' It was time she returned to thei hd-- tel for some sleep. The eyes of these, two women--stepmother and daughter --met and smiled, their bands were constantly caressing one another. The threfe of them trooped out after polite good-nights to Ina, the two women arm In arfti affectionately following tlie footsteps of Tom, who did all tho chores, paying the bills, getting them In their wraps, bothering about their possessions, picking up objects that women ar^TTSSTMtantly dropping^ such as purses," Scarfs and gloves. They went/out. leaving Ina seat64. at her table in bohemia. THE KITCHEN CABINET B <{&. 1931, Western Newspaper Union.) Life isn't taking: in only, it's giving out, too.
