DIVORCE In HIGH LIFE.-Society in Philadel-

ker, as libellant, against her husband, DIR. Leo
nard K Koecker, the well-known dentist. They
both belong to fine families, and the lady is said
to have lately fallen heir to $4,000 in her own
right. The parties have been married twenty
until a short time since, and have three chill
dren-two daughters and son, the daughters
being at convent school in Boston. The priu-
cipaI accusations made by Mrs. Koecker against
tfe Doctor were those Of infideiity to his mar
rage vow; that he was of immoral habits, hav-
ing his study adorned with improper statuettes
and pictures, and is of immoral character. The
the suit originated In dispute a. to the prop
erty Of the family which he claims to have paid
for, but which was made over to his wife at .
time when he was In debt. He wished il to he
reconyeyed to him, and she refused, and there
was no end to domestic contention, res ulting In

finds Noah,s ark is not safe, as they break on

an opinion on % important q question; indeed
some hippant people would say that such small
soIk don't know the difference between Noah
and any Of the animals he sheltered. But there
Is no doubt that great impressions may be made
on children by the Introduction Of scripture
toys and games. A good effect might be pro-
duced n a sofa-cushion, for instance, we're laid
