New York woman WHO goes TO England
every little while for ideas and Scotch
terriers for her kennels has introduced q
new departure in women's footgsar. She
got tho suggestion from some OF the smart
women In London, and then insisted upon
her New York shoemaker adopting IL. In
less than a month nearly every up TO date
dealer and maker In Manhattan was maxim &
money out OF Il. This Ia her explanation:
When women put on tan walking shoe
and every smartly dressed woman wears
tan boots and Iry short skirts this year
and then puts a black rubber over the
rrsset, her feet look abnormal. This Is
especially emphasized where extension
soles and instcp skirts are worn.
Now, our foggy city sisters are rather
oleverer at these things than We Ameri-
cans, and some time ago they dlsoovrr red
that tan rubber could be made as well as
black ones. and that r,'sset rubber ovsr a

SUES FOR DIVORCE
NOVEL ALLEGATION IS MADE
BY WIFE
SAYS SHE WAS NEGLECTED
Failure Of Husband to Provide Reere-
ations for Spouse Is Cited as Proof
That He Mlstreated Her and
Judge Is Worried

Is the failure Of husband to provide
amusements and recreations for his
wife sufficient cause for divorce If so,
what is a reasonable amount of amuse-
ments and recreations for the ordinary
woman? These knotty problems are the
the superior court, who is hearing the
trial of the divorce suit of Mrs. Martha
Dougherty against her husband,
Charles Dougherty.
One of the allegations made by Mrs
Dougherty is that her husband failed
and neglected to provide her with
amusements and recreations and re-
fused to escort her to theaters, beaches
and other scenes of gayety and enjoy
ment
This Is the suit which has been on
trial for the last two days and it was
continued yesterday until August, to
give the attorneys for the plaintiff time
in which to secure depositions of wit
nesses in proof of her allegations of
cruelty and mistreatm ent.
BY way of rebuttal, Dougherty al
leges that his wife performed a Grim
inal operation upon herself and as
serts that this was the primary cause
for their separation. Mrs. Dougherty
retalates with allegations of cruelty
and mstreatment and the new points
raised in the case occasioned a motion
for continuance and Judge Bordwell
readily granted it.

CHINESE BABY IS
TO Be ADOPTED
WEALTHY CELESTIAL WANTS
ABANDONED CHILD
OFFERS RANK AND RICHES
MongoIian Mite, Forsaken by Its
Mother, Is Pet of Aged Merchant
Who Desires to Make 1t
His Heir

At last little Willie Wing is to have
real live father and mother.
An action brought yesterday in the
superior court by Ching Wing, the aged
and wealthy merchant Of Chinatown,
and by Wong Su Fung, his wife, final
" determined the fact and it is now
only a question of a few weeks until
the wee little yellow man can hold up
his baby head and take his place as his
rank demands.
According to the story of Ching Wing
the little fellow has had strenuous
time since his entrance into the world
a few months ago, and the patriarch
merchant asserts with pride that the
baby is to have as fine an education
as good American shekels can provide.
For the past three months, small
bowls of rice and little slips of colored
paper have been placed each day at the
feet of the great love joss down in
the Chinatown district, that the great
court might find it proper and most
honorable to grant the plea of the
worthy Ching and give him the baby.
Each day have these little bowls dis
appeared and it is with a bright out
look that the yellow men enter into
their action for the custody of the
baby.

oling den. Unattended by a physician
and Stunned by her countrymen, the
mother went to the mission refuge
only to leave for her own country two
days after her baby was born.
In the meantime, the little yellow
baby kicked at the stray shadows of
light on the walls and his tiny black
eyes winked familiarly at the carica-
ture of the great god on the walls,
for he was a most proper baby and
some day he hopes of fighting under
the protection of that god.
Besides, this particular image of
Shaka was in the same predicament
as himself. Both were out of the way
and abandoned. In the next room
however, the story was different. Five
Cinnamon, playing SLY little game Of
fan-tan, were suddenly startled near
ly out of their wits by long, quaver-
ing yelp like the sound of an infant
coyote and as the yellow men made
dash for the rear room they found the
newborn celestial, and complying with
an old custom the feast Of the birth
was Immediately celebrated.
Rescued by Americans
Then came a woman from the mis-
sion and Willie exchanged a silk COW
cred pillow, which had made his little
back all "scratchy." for warm crib
and a home with the nice ladies.
Just three months after the child
had been foLld in that dark room,

Ching, while his pretty little wife, just

tainly know that they have been in a
ball game.
All the plantations down Eva way
swear by the team and are willing to
back the nine for large chunks Of cur
rency which will be brought to town on
drays drawn by mules on Saturday
next. The game abs been arranged to
occur as soon after payday as possible
George Meyer has been for long
time past in training for this game

OF cattle ranches. Magoon asked the
witness in detail what his duties were
in that connection and how much COM
mission was charged.
Low thought that partition OF the
ranch would be ruinous to the minor
as she was doing very well as she is.
A sale would be equally disadvantage
Gus, as no court would allow the minor
to go into debt to the extent necessary
to protect her interests.
The witness had seen the Hind and
McCrosson letters before bringing the
suit. but was not consulted before they
were written. The Hamaukua Ditch
Co. was willing to put up for the ex-
pense of the suit In case they could not
get 1t from the minor. The witness
himself had no money for the pur-
pose and was not TO be held responsible
for the expense of the suit.
"As to the charges OF mismanage-
ment. how did they come to be put in p
asked Magoon.
L had nothing to do with that re-
plsed the witness They We're put In
on account OF the other partner who had
made serious charges against the man
agemen; OF the ranch"
How We're the particulars ot these
charges obtained:"
From Samuel Parker and the others
Interested"
DO you know where they oane
fromF" continued Magoon.
In know they came from your Of
flee; from Eben Low. l should Judge.
The only knowledge of the witness
as to when Sam Parker had served no.
tice that he would not longer be liable
for expenses had come to him through
Magoon. AS regards Magoon's own at
titude in relation to stopping the suit,
Magoon had said that the suit could
not be settled, as the charges had been
filed and the case would have to go
on.
Kinney devoted the balance of the
afternoon to cross-eNamination upon
the feasibility of partitioning the ranch
in kind. The witness thought there
would be difficulty with rights of way
and water and was cross-examined at
length. At one place the witness tes-
titled that the man would be a fool to
drive cattle uphill over such a rough
and rocky country to get to Govern
ment road. A contour map was pro-
duced and 1t was shown that the drives
would be downhill, and the attorneys
had a dispute as to whether or not the
rough and rocky country was the very
country over which Eben Low had tes-
titled that Carter should have hauled
posts to build a pen.
Kinney had just begun upon the re-
llations of Low with the Hamakua Ditch
Co. when the court adjourned for the
day.
