RUTH ELDER'S HUSBAND TO GREET HER AS "ACE-HIGH HOUSEKEEPER"
NEW YORK. Nov. 8-(AP)—Ruth Elder's husband, Lyle Womack, was in New York today from Panama ready to greet his wife as "Mrs. Womack, ace-high housekeeper" and not as an adventuring aviatrix.
Womack said he would tell her, when she arrives here on the Cunard liner Aquitania, due Friday, of the "Seventeen hells" he had gone through since she took off on her unsuccessful flight to Paris and would ask to return to Panama and flightless domesticity.
An aunt of Miss Elder, Mrs. Susan Odom, arrived here on the same steamer that brought Womack from Panama. Mrs. Odom said she did no approve of her niece's exploits and thought Womack ought to have spoken sooner to prevent his wife from making the flight.
"Some men at 25," she snapped "Are not yet over their childhood They're all rattle-brained."
Womack is about 25 years old. He and Aunt Susan went to different hotels.
"I don't think she'll try it again" Womack said. "when she knows what I have been through does what it means for a man to go thru his wife against the weather. I don't want to stand in the way of any of her plans, but Ruth is an ace-high housekeeper and I want her in Panama. She is first and last Mrs. Womack. The name Ruth Elder has been used only for professional purposes We love each other as much as we did the day we married."
