-s j ' what James Cavalier was unable to do. had given up in despair, according to his wife, who testified that he had deliberately deserted her.
 My husband left me July 27,' said the plaintiff, who is still passing fair. 'I had gone to Santa Monica for the sea air in the morning When re- turned found my husband had taken advantage of my absence and depart ed. His trunk was gone, and even his photograph was removed from q frame on the wall. have not seen him since"
 Her evidence was corroborated by other witnesses, and the court decided the testimony warranted the granting of the decree.
 Twenty years have been spent by Mrs. Layman in establishing her won drous record. She started at the age of 16 and is now 36..
 Although her marital experiments have proven exceedingly expensive to Mrs. Layman, she still retains large portion of the immense fortune that came to her when her father was mur- dered 15 years ago.
 Her first marriage to Frank Coffin in 1884 aroused the. anger and .opposi- tion, of her father, but she refused to allow him to stand in the way of her choosing the husband she wished
 The first wedding was for a much longer time than any of the succeed ing ones, for it was not until 1894 that she secured a divorce-the first of i've.
 Four years after reconciliation was effected with Coffin and they remarked. One year suff1ced this time for the cou- pie to decide they were not intended for. each other. The second divorce followed -
 Then Mrs. Coffin decided to wed a different mate, and this time James c. Walker was honored with her hand and fortune.
 He remained with her no longer than Coffin had during his second marriage, and by 1900 Mrs Snell-Cof- fin-Walker was again grass wid- ow," Within a year MT. Coffin for a third time regarded her as his better half, but records were again broken by their separation the same year.
 For two years following Mrs. She'll looked about for successor, and final ly Layman, hotel clerk at Riverside, Cal. was chosen.

USES BABY CARRIAGE FOR
 HEARSE; VICAR SURPRISED
Boy Wheels Dead Bodies of Two In- fants, to English Church in
 Perambu1ator.

London.-The vicar and sexton stood waiting in St. Peters church, Congle- ton. Twin babies were to be buried. but no funeral party came
 At last, the appointed time having passed, the sexton walked toward the church gates in order to. glance down the road. He was surprised to meet a small boy pushing perambulator.
 What do you want, my boy?" he in. Quired.
 i've come to the funeral. sir,' said the boy, wearily.
 Raising the brown paper that covered the perambulator, the sexton saw tho coffin in which the dead babies were laid. He carried it into the church, where the vicar read the burial service. 1ae0 the coffin was lowered into grave in the churchyard, and the small boy wheeled the empty perambulator home.

LOVES LIFE.

Love, as the planets through all space are hurled, And we, ,unseeing, choose this little world,
 So choose thee,
 So I choose thee. So wakes my heart in song, in gladness sweet And every living thing with joy I greet.
 For thy dear sake, For thy dear sake. To be with thee, my head upon thy breast, Care flung aside--to feel the spirits rest
 Through all life's day,
 Through all life's day. For Paradise let others search the spheres ' find 1t in thine eyes midst smiles and tears
 So I claim thee E. So claim-thee LilIa Elizabeth Kelley, in Boston Tran script.

 Chicago. Almost simultaneously with the announcement that Mrs. Grace Shell Coffin -Walker-Layman had secured another divorce, this time from Perkins A. Layman in Los An geles, Cal, came the rumor to her friends in Chicago that for the fourth time she and Frank Nixon Coffin her first, second and fourth husband-are preparing to remarry.
 While complete confirmation of this report could not be obtained IT. Chica- go, color was lent to it by the discov- cry that MT. Coffin had left the Revere house and had gone west, presumably to California
 Should Mrs. Layman again return to her first love, 1t will enhance greatly her already unique record, for she has already been married three times to Mr. Coffin, aside from her other matri- monial ventures with James Q. Walker and Perkins Layman.
 It was the fifth divorce that was granted by Los Angeles court and 1t was obtained with the same ease and celerity that have marked all her pre- vious experiences in the divorce courts.
 With the air of one long accustomed to such scenes, Mrs. Layman appeared before the judge and with touch of pathos in her voice related how, de- spite all her experience, she was no more successful in making home pleas- ant for Mr. Laynan than she had been in the case of MT. Walker or MT. Cof- fin.
 MT. Layman, who had thought he would be able to do what Frank Nix on Coffin tried thrice in vain. and
