SEPARATE HOMES

HONEYMOON ALONE A “Perfect Marriage” London, May 3. Seven years of experiment have produced the “perfect marriage” for a couple who parted—for a while—after their wedding. Captain Richard Wyndham—writer, artist, traveller—left his bride at 'the church door seven years ago and went on his honeymoon alone. The bride, Miss Margarethe Ingril Andrea Wulfs berg, a pretty red-headedi Norwegian, stayed in London. When Captain Wyndham returned they lived in separate houses and shared their lives only at week-ends. This is how Mrs Wyndham explained the experiment: “Even when I was

a little girl in Norway I was determined that I would never live in the same house as my husband. I had seen so much of the friction caused by constant propinquity. Richard has a- studio in Kensington, and I have a little house in Chelsea. We visit each other, dine together, and sometime&l go -to the theatre, but our separate homes are strictfy our own—only to be visited by invitation. Our real married life is spent during the week-ends)” Captain and Mrs Wyndham were ■asked about it this week when they attended an exhibition in London of Captain Wyndham’s pictures. “Tt has worked out perfectly,” they both declared.
