IN the original divorce proceedings Mrs.

Mrs. Emmert at once filed bill in the
chancery court asking Chancellor
Haynes to reopen the case and award
her the complete custody Of the child.
urging as ground for the petition that
Emmert's last wife had been the cause
Of the divorce, and that she was an
unfit person 10 be associated with the
child. Emmert filed an answer in the
form Of a cross-bilr. and himself asked
the court 10 award him the complete
custody of the child alleging that the
first Mrs. Emmert was not and had
not been carrying out the original de-
cree Of the court The answer Of Mrs
Emmert made sensational charges
which had not hitherto come TO light.
CIandestine Trip Alleged.
She charged that her husband ne
elected and abused here about the time
Of the birth of the child he now seeks
to take from her. and that prior to their
final separation he took their young
daughter. Adeline. and Miss johnson.
the correspondent, on a clandestine trip
to the North and East. adding that. as
2 result Of the association or the young
girl with Miss Johnson. the girl had
made a, desperate attempt TO leave the
school In which she had been placed in
Nashville, Tenn, and join an operate
company. The answer refers to En-
merits last wife. who stands high soci-
ally, as his ''so-called" wife. and
charges her with the destruction Of a
once happy home
High Social Connections.
All OF the persons interested I'm the
litigation are highly connected socially.

lively interest In the proceedings on be-
half OF his sister. He has retained
Judge H. Tyler Campbell, ex-Assistant
United States Attorney General. and
former Republican gubernatoriaI candi-
date in Tennessee. 10 defend her inter
ests in the fight which has followed
upon the heels Of the divorce suit over
the mutually coveted offspring. Mrs.
Emmert is a daughter Of James Robin
son. Of GreenviIle. Tenn. one OF the
best-knovn citizens Of east Tennessee.
She was reared in Greene county, Tenn.
Married Sixteen Years.
She was married 10 Emmert sixteen
years ago The influence OF her brother
is said 10 be largely responsible for
the business success Of Emmert. Mrs.
Emmert declares that she would will
ingly sacrifice her own life rather than
see her child taken from her. Backed
by her millionaire brother she has con-
tested bitterly for the possession OF the
child TO the exclusion Of her former
husband.

The one room in the house which

Though In n rented house the archi-

sires still much can be done in the
furnishing OF the room.
Hardwood floors. with soft wash
able bathroom rug or else the plain
wood covered with linoleum are n good
choice for floor treatment. though. of
course, the best of all are small tiles,
so closely laid that no water can pos
sibly leak through. but their cost OF
installation prohibits them to the aver
age housekeeper. These tiles are used
also for the side walls, but their cost
is again a disadvantage.

carefully considered. as nothing looks
worse than wall badly marked with
