Always SMILING, always apparently happy.
Mrs. Daniel Delevan Mangam, Jr., is one of
the most lovely and charming women in the

adjectives are easily exhausted in describing
her, for few women are the possessors Of SO
many attractions. She has a charm OF man
ner that words fail to convey, and a grace
that is bewitching. She always has plea

qualities needed to make her a social star,
besides every quality to render her dear to
those who know her. Mrs. Mangam was,
before her marriage, Miss May Mortimer
Talmage, daughter of Brooklyn's great di-
vine. AS May Talmage she received her
early education in this country, at home,
where she had the best g~overnesses and
tutors: always, however, studying under the
guidance of her father. She is a woman who
IS en- rapport with everything of interest in
her own world, and not the least of her
many charms is that of being a bright con-

NEWARK, Jan. %, 1s94.-vice Chancellor
Green, this morning, reserved his decision
after hearing the final argument in the pro-
ceeding looking to declaring E. S. Stokes of
New York guilty Of contempt of court in not
producing the books of the Hoffman House
A. @. Keasbey argued that the
decision of the New York court
had been secured while the
New Jersey receiver had not been notified
that the matter was to come up. He argued
that if w. E. d. Stokes was not allowed to
see the books, a most unfortunate precedent
could be established, and that other corpor-
ations Incorporated under the laws of New
Jersey would be subjected to fraud on the
part of those controlling the majority OF
the stocks in their corporations.
John j. Adams, counsel for E. S. Stokes,
argued that Mr.. Keasbey was trying to have
Mr.. Stokes adjudged guilty of contempt for
the sole purpose Of having that fact appear
in the newspapers.
