MRS. ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.
rator with the wonderful Scotch roman
Ger. 1t is that of his wife, the mother of
Lloyd Osborne, who has also Joined his
name with Mr.. Stevenson's in some of his
latest productions. The signature Fanny
eG. Stevenson has been frequently met
under stories and sketches in various
American and English magazines but
only the initiated knew that it belonged
TO one of the great Stevenson firm,
Mrs. Stevenson was Miss Van de
Grift, California girl of Dutch parent
age. who in youth was as brown and
wild us gypsy. While very Young she
married Samuel Osborne, a protege of
Leland Stanford. Two children were
born to the Osbornes. and after they
grew up Mrs. Osborne went to Europe
TO place them at school She was a wo
man of culture. an artist. and in Paris
met the budding Scotch novelist. then
in his twenties. with fame TO make. A
divorce with many romantic episodes
followed, and Mrs. Osborne, son and
daughter were transferred to the Steven
son household.
When Mrs Osborne met the romancer,
he was a confirmed bohemian and. in
fact. lived in a community of artists and
litterateurs near Paris Mrs Stevenson
has made domestic man of him. for
she is u practical and sensible wife as
well as literary genius A writerin re
cent Australian periodical gossips about
her personal appearance and occupation
as follows:
She is the most charming of women.
There are beauty and character in that
dark complexioned face, with the big
soft eyes which can be SO stern. With a
fanciful imagination and mind rich
in observation, She is bluestocking who
disowns bluestoekingdom. She prefers
her Samoan flower garden to the paths
of literature and processes to write only
when she wants money to spend fool
ishly."
Stevenson's father and mother were
strict orthodox Scotch Presbyterians
| and naturally felt scandalized over Rob
crt's vagabond tendencies and especially
his marriage with Californian who had
divorced her husband on other than
| Scriptural grounds.
But the clever woman was able to dis
arm their prejudices. and at his death

wealth to the novelist. and the elder

A QUEER DIVORCE CASE.


Unusual and Extreme Cruelty Without Re-
course to Personal Violence.
The counsel in a recent divorce case,
remarkable even in the annals of the Chi
cago courts, sought to defeat the plain
tiff's case on slender technically, but
fortunately without avail. The wife, who
sought the divorce, was n particularly
mild and obedient person, and the hus-
band had an ingenious method of infiict-
ing cruelty without resorting frequently
to personal violence. He compelled her
after her marriage to send word to her
father and to her uncles and aunts, with
whom she had lived, that she wished
nothing more to do with them. The let
tiers, which We're dictated by him, and
which she was compelled to send them,
contained insulting and contemptuous
expressions.
At the least sign of failure to obey
him promptly the husband directed his
wife to stay i'll bed for periods of from a
day to two or three weeks. only allow
ing her to rise to prepare his meals or to
attend to the horses. When she was
sick, he pushed her on one occasion to
the floor, and when she cried he told her
that she could stay in bed day for ev-
cry sob and counted them until the
number of / was reached, and then di-
reeted her to stay in bed IL days and
restricted her to diet of bread and
water.
On one occasion he made her stay all
night in the buggy shed, though he gave
her a revolver with which she could
alarm him if burglar disturbed her He
took her young nursing baby away from
her and sent it away without allowing
her to know where it was until month
or two later, when she finally revolted
and began the divorce suit. The details
of the case were most heartrending, and
Chief Judge Tuley, before whom the
case was tried, said that the facts showed
case of cruelty to which in over 40
years of experience at the bar and ON the
bench he had never known the equal.
The law in Illinois, however, requires
that 'extreme and repeated cruelty
must be shown, and it has been held
that to constitute that charge there must
be more than one act of physical violence
shown. An attempt was made to pre-
vent the divorce ON the ground that the
defendant did not violently lay his hands
upon his wife except on one occasion,
when he pushed her to the floor.
Judge Tuley, however, breaks away
from the old rules, although he says the
tearing away of the child from the arms
of the mother might be considered a sec
ond act of personal violence. He holds
that there may be the most extreme
cruelty inflicted on refined and deli.
cate woman which would not be cruelty
toward coarse and brutal nature. The
Chicago Legal News protests against the
attempt to follow in Illinois the anti
quated rule based ON the case 100 years
old that there must be at least two acts
of physical violence.--New York Trib-

and the melton coats are but beginning
TO make their true value felt and seen.
But in the midst of all the cold we
find the lovely spring lawns and dimi-
ties, the percales and ginghams, the new
crepons that look like the monte cloth
of old and wonderful array of en-
broidered chambrays and laced effects
ON linen lawns. There are few choice
pattern dresses made of the Panama
pineapple linen in its natural color.
and these have exquisite borderings of
the fine drawn lace work made so ia
mons by the patient women of Central
America. Naturally these robes will be
costly, some of them being valued as
high as 800, some less, according to the
t'neness of the linen and the delcacy of
the work The pineapple linen is woven
in peculiar way that makes that Esuch
priced irregularity of thread. There are
also some printed linen lawns in single
colors No thin goods wash as well as
linen lawn The thin cotton lawns are
printed with all sorts of fine and pretty
patterns, the most of them being flowers.
generally leafess, but there are several
very delicate and pleasing patterns. like
the famous sprigged lawns of long ago.
The styles for making up these pretty
new summer dresses are neat and easy
for the amateur dressmaker. Nearly all
of them, at least those intended to be
washed, will have Spencer or French
hat h.
ton is to be quite plain and the lower
gathered into belt rundown collars
of the same are generally preferred, but
if others would like ruffies or pierrot
collars there is no law to prohibit them,
except that Of good sense and a knowl-
+ edge of the possibilities of the laundry.
A very pretty gown for young girl
of l6 or IS is of white dimity gathered
around the neck with an elastic. 1t can
be half low or reach quite to the neck.
1t is little more dressy when half low.
The whole of the fullness at the neck il
gathered to point in front, style very
becoming to young, uniformed figures,
and one that can be adapted to all mate
rails as well as thin ones. This particu-
lar waist has caps to the sleeves made of
blue and white striped percale. Per-
Gale is quite a new dress material this
season, as heretofore it has been relegat-
ed mostly to boys shirt waists and mems
shirts, but it washes and wears so well
and will stand 80 much more than any
other summer material that it viii be
made for dresses. 1t comes striped and
in figured patterns, and they never fade
There Is great deal of trimming put
on almost all waists just now, braiding
and embroidery. lace and jet trimming
often being seen on one corsage. bat the
general effect is rather more snug than
formerly, and the long stomacher waist
is growing in favor. Some of the waists
have velvet collars in Louis XIII fash
ION. stifily embroidered with gold threads
and mock pearl beads. Plastrons made
postiche- with velvet collars. can be pur-
chased to add TO plain gowns. giving

noticed growing out of the chnrchyard
