can be spent in any better way than in
treating these children. Yet there are
scores Of children who have had to wait
Years to tax" their turn in the orthOpDdic
institutions in thi. State. Hundreds and

who seem to regard a congenital malfor-
nation or dislocation as curse of God
and think il would br rebellion against

THE call for children TO form the clinic
over which Dr. Lorenz will preside has done
wonders in bringing out cases that have
hitherto been hidden. Very few are sub
jects for DR.. Lorcnz. but we are taking
the names of all of the applicants and
some day something may be done for them.

no DIVORCE FOR A. ". TAPPAN.
Court Found That His Story OF His Wife's
Crueitics was Not COrrObOrated.

DANBURY, Conn, Nov. l9.-The applica-
ton of Arthur W. Tappan of this city for an
absolute divorce from Maud Benedict Tap
pan, because Of his wifes alleged cruelty
to him, was denied by Judge Slas A. Robin
son in the Superior Court here to-day
Mrs. Tappan. plump and pretty but strenu-
Gus, according TO her husbands stories of
his experiences with her, went upon the
witness stand to deny various tales Of her
physical prowess related TO tho Court by
the plaintiff. She denied them so en-
phatically and there was so little evidence
TO corroborate the other side that Judge
Robinson felt obliged to dismiss the action
Mr.. Tappan told the Court that at one
time he wore bandage Of red flannel
around his throat for long time. His
friends thought that no was trying to euro
gaze the marks left upon his neck by his
wife's fingers when she tried to choke
him He said her cruel treatment began
two months after they we're married, in
1892, and one Of the first indications Of the
waning Of the honeymoon was punch in
the face that split open Tappan's lip and
drew blood from his nose His wife as
sauited him frequently after that, he de-
with the heel Of her opera slipper when
something went wrong in her boudoir
On another occasion she slapped him in the
face with the blade Of a table knife.
Although Mr. Tappan is taller than his
wife he admits that she had no trouble at
all in knocking him down when such action
suited her fancy. This happened once, he
said, while no was walking along Main
street in this city. He had asked the police
a few moments previously to protect him
from his wife's fists and she walked up to
him and cent him to the pavement with
blow. He cliEched with her, and together
they rolled into the street where he man gcd
to wrench himself loose from her. A
crowd gathered and anpoliceman was at
tracted to the scene opthe trouble. Tap
pan told the Court that he interceded to
save his wife from arrest
AT another time Mrs. Tappan's father and
brother happened to drop in during home
alteration. They made the woful mis-
take, Tappan said, Of believing that he
was the aggressor in the trouble, and they
promptly accused him Of assaultirg his
wife and took him out of doors and admins
tered additional chast isement to him
Mrs Tappan, who does rot look to be
more than rs years old. though she Is, was
before her marriage Maud Benedict, one
of the prcttiest girls in this city. She
denied on the witness stand that she was
ever cruel In her treat ment of her husband,
but admitted that once, when provoked,
she slapped him.
