itch from New York says:

A dispatch from New York says:
Nine. Nordica's friends here and abroad
will learn with surprise that she has begun
a suit for absolute divorce from her hus-
band, Zoltan Doeme and that the suit Is to
be tried in this city.
Since the prima donna arrived in this
country last October, and even before that
rumors were afloat of unpleasant relations
between her and her husband.
Mr.. Doeme arrived in New York about
ten days ago. and was served with papers
in the suit when he stepped from the
steamer. At present he is in private sani-
tarium in this city, where, it is said, he is
bordering on nervous collapse.
Nine. Nordica is stopping with friends
within easy reach of the city. 1t is said
that the few engagements she had made
earlier in the season to appear at private
entertainments have been cancelled and
that she has made no professional engage
ments for the winter.
Mr.. Doeme is very attractive man, He
Is a talented singer and has numberless ad-
mirers among society women and singers.
He is younger than Mime. Nordica, and,
while she is still in her prime, no doubt she
may have realized that she might not al
ways be able to earn the enormous income
that has been coming to her during the last
few years. and that she could not risk the
depicting of her fortune.
