Notes for Women
Renovating Chiffon

Chiffon. if not too badly soiled, may
be cleaned by brushing carefully with
powdered starch and boraX, two parts
of the former and one of the latter.
Spread the chiffon OH some clean sur
face and rub over several times with
the mixture, using soft cloth or
brush. Shake free of the soiled powder
each time. After going over it several
times in this way fill the chiffon with
clean powder and leave for a day or
two where it will be free from dust
When this last application is removed
the chiffon should be fresh and clean.
Chiffon is a very difficult material to
clean, but dry processes are invariably
more satisfactory than those which
necessitate wetting the chiffon. 1t will
sometimes answer quite we'll to use ben
zine or gasoline, but there is always
the danger of pulling it out of shape
and there is rarely any crispness left
after such cleaning

REPENTS AND GETS LICENSE
Man Who Asserted That Gambling
Was Allowed in Billiard Halls
Is Foruiven

I. M. Parker took it all back yester-
day morning and because he showed
the proper spirit of humility he was
granted the billiard hall license which
he has been demanding of the police
commission for more than a month.
Parker form erly conducted a billiard
and pool room but his license was re-
voked recently by the commission on
complaint of the chief Of police that
gambling was permitted In his place.
Last week Parker appeared before
the commission and stated that al
though there had been no gambling at
his place, it would have been no worse
than other places of a similar char
acter If it had occurred, as gambling
was permitted in nearly every pool and
billiard hall in the city.
This statement incensed Commis-
sloner james and through his efforts
Parker was ordered to prove his as
sertion of gGmbling in billiard halls.
Yestel day Parker again appeared be-
fore the board and said he had been
unable to secure the names of those
who ganlbled in billiard rooms and
humbly apologized for the aspersion
he had cast on the police department
and the commission by his declaration.
His license was granted and he will
conduct his hall at $50 East Fifth
street under a license formerly held by
John B. Hayes.

AC( USED PARK OFFICER APPEARS
AT TRIAL DRUNK, SAYS PHYSICIAN

Terry Mcconnell, the policeman at
Eastlake park, against whom charges
of intoXication We're preferred before
the civil service board last week, did not
make his case any stronger by his
appearance before the commission yes
terday morning.
When the prosecution had rested it's
side OF the case, DR.. John r. Haynes,
member of the commission, stepped
up to Mcconnell and with his nose close
to the defendants mouth, asked:
Have you had anything to drink to-
day?
mo sir" emphatically answered Nc
Connell.
Nothing at all?" pursued the re-
lentless physician.
We'll, 1 had a glass of beer" ad-
mitted Mcconnell.
And how many whiskies?" was the
next question from DR.. Haynes.
None at ALL" was the answer.

two weeks after he left and he cared
so little for the baby that he never
wrote to find out whether the child
could be buried in private grounds or
whether the dear one could be buried
at ALL He never cared whether the
other babies had attention or anything
to eat. The baby was buried at my
brothers expense.
Il then went to live with my mother
and stayed with her for some time,
but at last he begged so hard that I
came to California to live with him.
For two weeks everything went all
right, for my husband was making
good wages, but at the end of two
weeks he insisted that I go to work
for him. I refused to do the work he
demanded. so he wanted me to open
stand at Santa Monica. l went there
and looked at the place and becaus,
of the danger I refused. The stand
was later washed away during the big
storms of the past year
From that time on my life was 4
burden to me. 1 had little or nothing
TO eat and my children were scarcely
able to live. MY husband simply
laughed at my misery and said could

TELLS STORY Of
CRUEL TREATMENT
~
MRS. SOPHIE ADLER WRITES
TO JUDGE
Woman Gives Detailed Account of
Mistreatnent at Hands of Los
Angeles Merchant Who
Sues for Divorce

AS result of u letter received yes
terday by Judge Trask of the superior
court from Sophie Adler of Baltimore
Harris Adler, a Los Angeles merchant
may be denied his final decree of di-
Vorce when he asks for that document
next January.
The Adler divorce case and the
events leading up to it has afforded
sensation in California courts for
several months.
During May of last year Mrs. Adler
left her home i'll Los Angeles, taking
with her her three young children and
a young woman named Lena Brooches
Harris Adler alleged that his wife
had kidnapped both the girl and his
children and that he would make
every effort under heaven to get his
loved ones back again.
Mrs. Adler was located in Baltimore
and the Brooches girl was brought
back to Los Angeles. The girl told
peculiar story in which Mrs. Adj
ler's hypnotic influence figured promi-
nently, and then Adler brought suit
for divorce from his wife and pro-
duced the girl as witness.
The woman said that, although Ad-
Ter knew where his babies were, he
made no effort to get them and never
even wired to Baltimore to have the
children detained until he could go
there.
Made No Effort to Get Children
Through his testimony and the evil
dence given by the Brooches girl, Ad-
Ter was granted an interlocutcry de-
cree of divorce by Judge Trask Decem-
Der IA.
Mrs. Adler never received word of
The result of the proceedings and the
allegations against her until New
Years day when she received a copy
Of Los Angeles paper sent to her by
her husband, in which his charges
against her were fully set forth
The woman Immediately answered
the letter, asking nothing for herself.
but simply for the sake of the chill
dren making a statement of her side of
the case. In her letter she referred To
the fact that the father refused to al
low clause in his decree of divorce
allowing him the custody of the chill
dren.
The letter was as follows:
my husband left me on April 2t,
1903, / had the care Of my child, who
was dying with diphtheria and scarlet
fever and was penned up in two rooms
where rats were my company by night
end by day lie never cared for a
clean home and always located in some
place over a butcher shop or saloon
or some filthy hole where only Rus
slans lived.
Charges Gross Neglect

countenance DR.. Haynes returned to
his seat and said:
"The man is as drunk as a lord this
minute"
Another feature that was brought
out which made the commissioners and
Assistant Attorney Hewitt open their
eyes wide was a voluntary statement
on the part OF Mcconnell that he con-
Quoted a blacksmith shop just across
the entrance from Eastlake park and
did the blacksmith work for the park,
the while he was drawing a salary of
SIS month from the city as a police
man.
That in itself is violation of the
city ordinances" said Mr., Hewitt, and
looks to me as though our esteemed
policeman was a frenzied financier in
d small way"
The evidence for the prosecution was
heard last evening and Mr.. McConnells
side will be given hearing next Tues
day evening.

that the weather in California was too
fine for my health and that L looked
like ghost.

TO kill me, and altogether my life was
one great misery.

paper from my husband. IT contained

Flowers Of satin and Chiffon

Applica tions of flowers made of satin
and chiffon are more in favor than
the use of artificial flowers of the
regulation kind. These floral decora-
tions are charmingly employed to catch
up garland effects in founces and other
dress trimmings. Velvet bows and rib
bons, too, enter largely into the deco
ratiVe scheme of ball dresses. Velvet
trimmings are very effective contrast
to diaphanous materials, so that velvet
ribbons upon net, chiffon and lace af-
ford q pleasing variety.
