Did I not permit the impression to fro abroad that I was a model so that it would help him by giving him publicity? What right have you to keep him from me? Let me in, I sayl" 'do 'way!" "Why? I remand to know." "Because his art is too important to permit you to interfere with it," comes the answer through the closed door. "Genius needs solituda for proper culture. You disturb him. Art mu3t triumph, do 'way!" Figuratively the above faithfully describes the latter week? of the married life of Mme. Claudia Windsor-Poth-Busch-Tartoue, before she loft h--r painter husband, Pierre Tartoue, whose friend hail him as a second Sargent, a portrait painter of rare genius. And it explains why the couple are estranged and why. two legal actions hov been begun and a third is under consideration. For, when the wonderfully beautiful girl to pan to lose the control of her husband's Undivided affection and attention, to those friends who lent sympathetic car she tearfully confided: "They won't let me love my own husband. All my life I have longed for a home and love, a longing that began when I first played with dolls. Twice I tried marriage and found it a failure. Hut when I wedded Pierre I believed I had finally wen a man with whom I would find ideal companionship and a home. But they won't let me." Then, dramatically, she would tell how, time lifter time, they would put her out actually rject her from her husband's studio in West Fifty-srventh street, near Seventh avenue, New York City, humiliating and intimidating her with all forts of threats and actions until they finally succeeded in pealing to her the door of the studio in which she and Tartoue had been so happy. "I was so happy in that studio," she naid, when interviewed in the Hotel Plaza, New York City, where she is living with her mother, Mrs. Ii. Bcnprue Barnett of Pendleton, Ore. "It was ju?t wonderful when Pierre and I were alone, before they broke it up. I would cook him meals with my own hand, so that he would not have to go out to dinner when fatigued at the close of a trying day's work. We were so happy there night after night all alone until they interfered and spoiled my perfect dream. "They say that they want to save him for art's sake. But that is not so. They want to put him up in business just imagine it a French artist in business. But they have the idea firmly placed in his head that he would make a successful financier and they didn't want me around because I wanted to save him from such a life and wanted to help him rise to the top rank of painters." The "they" referred to so often in the pretty von-.an'p story of her troubles with her husband re pretty mysterious persons. None of the peror.r.wl.vaa known for many days after the break y -yy

Mmc. Pierre Tartoue, from a Painting by Her Artist Husband, Against Whom She Recently Filed a Suit for a Legal Separation.

between the couple. Since, however, quite recently, an action, the nature of which is also t-ecret, has bren started in the New York Supreme Court in which damages are asked from Rene Van Lennep, a well known society clubman. Now, inasmuch as Mr. Van Lennep is the bosom friend of Artist Tartoue and even now occupies the studio which Tartoue relinquished just after his trouble with hia wife, friends of the couple declare that no other person than Mr. Lennep comprises the masculine complexion of the mysterious "they." Some even go so far as to say that Mr. Van Lennep is the very man who told Mme. Tartoue that she had no right to love her own husband. If that is so, what woman can criticize the pretty wife for bringing some sort of an action against him? If non-relatives are going to exercise the prerogative of the mother-in-law, what joy will there be in marriage at all, lociety is asking. The Mysterious "Aunties" Thus, with the man revealed, society waits with bated breath the identification of the women. Concerning these Mme. Tartoue says: "Two elderly women played an important part in estranging Pierre from me. They acted as if Pierre were a big boy and I a little girl with whom 'auntie' didn't want me to play. Who aro the 'aunties'? That will be revealed in the separation action I have begun." According to those who assert they know the "inside" of it, the beginning of that suit for separation in the New York courts, incidentally the third mantal litigation in which Mmc. Tartoue has figured since her 18th birthday, caused Tartoue to make his recent trip to Pendleton, native town of Mme. Tartoue, to secure legal armor plate against the heavy guns of her lawyers when the action for separation gets into court. He was seen in Pendleton, early and late, for many days, interviewing witnesses and examining records, as busy as a man might be on the trail of a beauty with two annulments and a pending separation suit to her record. However, he probably knew something about such things, for his first wife. Miss Alma Dodworth, and he parted company for good in 1019 by the divorce route. Friends of the artist assert he secured some interesting data at Pendleton. Concerning her husband's visit Mme. Tartoue said: "Why Pierre should consider it necessary to go cut West to get all thi3 I can't understand. He knew that I had been married before, and to save him from embarrassment I promised him when I married him, after he had been divorced, that I would say nothing about the past. He paid ihat if society persons knew I had been married tkey would stay away from his studio. "I told him all about my marriage when I waj still a schoolgirl to Louis Roth, a Cleveland boy, also still in college, and who now is dead. Because of the objections of our parents that marriage was annulled. "I also told my husband before cur wedding about my marriage to George J. Busch of St. Loui3. That marriage, too, was annulled as soon as I learned that he had a wife and two little girls. "Now, that is 'my past, and he knew all about it without going to my home, where all he could do, perhaps, would cause the embarrassment of wtppr Fmtar &errlcb 1911.

No matter how the .various actions in court end, society of the country will lonp have forgotten all its details, it is a safe venture, before losing the mental picture of the famous bird ball that the Tartoues gave in New York City upon their return from their honeymoon. Two troupials, beautiful birds secured on their tour, tha size of a pigeon and as beautiful as the mala English pheasant, were released in the ballroom, and while the dancers glided on the highly polished floor the gay-plumaged birds hopped from shoulder to shoulder of the guests as if they, tbo, wished to enjoy the dance and the music. It was an innovation even to blase high society and it did much to bring the painter's name into prominence. Ever after Mme. Tartoue kept the birds and still plays with f'iem each day. They always received much attention from the representatives of art, literature and society who were the guests of the Tartoues and were admired by such

Many Uses for Powdered Buttermilk

Shipping costs are less because of its lightness, and its keeping qualities permit it to reach a far wider trade than was formerly possible. In the winter months, when buttermilk is scarce because less butter is made, this product finds a ready market. Buttermilk powder, dissolved in water, is used as a general substitute for buttermilk. Not much change takes place' in drying it. Some of tha large bakeries are beginning to use this product in bread making, ar.d soap, drug, pancake-flour, and -other manufactories are making some use of it. The dry, though unmilled buttermilk, which is rather coarse, has been used for chicken feed, with good results. The machinery for drying and powdering buttermilk, as described in Popular Mechanics by Hjalmer Lindquist, consists essentially of a alowly rotating steam-heated cylinder upon which the buttermilk is forcibly sprayed, and then scraped off when dry- In operation, the buttermilk is sprinkled from a perforated pipe onto tha hollow metal cylinder, and permitted to bake while the cylinder mnkes nearly a complete revolution, which requires about one minute. It is then scrapeU onT by a snugly fitted blade set a: an angle against the cylinder's side. The milk is dried to nearly a crisp by the time it reaches the knife and hardens still further in cooling.

Nor will society soon forpet the romance of that painting, "The Goddess of Happiness," for which, it is reported, the Du Ponts paid $000,000. The painting had not been completed when tha artist met Mme. Tartoue. The eyes had not been opened. When he saw her he realized that her eye? were needed to make the painting great.
