Complaint Not Served.

It was learned today that Mrs. Gould 5
complaint has not been put into legal
fern yet. and no copy has been served
upon Mr.. Could. A brief summons was
drawn up, and this was the paper served
upon him in the Hotel Plaza last We'd
nesday.
The notes from which the COMPLAINT
Will be drawn in case o. a reconciliation
IS not effected Indicate that Mrs. Gould
will charge "cruel and unusual treat
ment," as shown not by actual violence,
but by acts of petty jealousy on the
part of her millionaire husband.
In all society's discussion of the case
today no stories were heard indicating
that either the husband or wife had
legal action
Mrs. Gould is said to have exas0er-
ated her husband by expressing SYM
patty for Mrs. Howard Gould and Nine.
Anna Could in their matrimonial trou-
bles. Friends of the family say that
Airs. Could sent notes to the two. ex-
tending sympathy to them Whenever
Mrs Gould appeared IN society she has
always been speedily surrounded BY
group of admirers, and her attractive
ness is said to have made her husband
jealous.
On the other hand, acquaintances OF
Mrs. Gould are said to have been in
the habit of carrying TO her ali the petty
gossip they happened TO hear regarding
Mr.. Gould. The result has been that
several times M and Mrs. Gould's
troubles have gained publicity, but
never before has either husband or wife
taken any legal action.
Those in closest touch with the hus-
band say the other members Of the
Gould family are inclined to side with
their relative, considering that he had
just ground for complaint at the letters

Holds Several Conferences.

Earlier in the day several meetings
took place that were taken by friends
of the family TO indicate that arrange
ments for ending the suit for separation
were under way. Mrs Gould was with
her mother. Mrs. Kelly. for three hours
n Mrs. GOulds automobile. They read
all the daily papers and conversed
earnestly.
AS they returned from their drive,
Mrs. Kelly said:
Everything regarding Mrs. GOuld's
affairs Will be fixed up all right. can
not say when or how, as 1 do not feel
privileged TO discuss private affairs"
While Mrs. Gould and her mother were
81 conference. Thomas H Kelly, Mrs.
Gould's uncle. who controls the Kelly
estate, had long talk with George
Taylor, the lawyer who on Friday ac-
companied Mr. Gould 10 the train which
he took for the South.
Mr.. Kelly has control OF Mrs. Gould s
private fortune. Following her mar
rage he is said to have made large in
vestments in Gould securities, and is
now said to be actively working for a
reconciliation between his niece and MI
Gould. After Mr.. Kelly left Mr.. Taylor
he attempted to get into communication
with Mr.. GOuld's secretary. but up 10
a late hour this evening had been unable
To- do so.

MORE DIVORCES IN GERMANY.
Greater Proportion of Marriage Fail
ures in the Large Towns.

Berlin.-The number of divorces in
Prussia has increased rapidly of late
years and is still growing.
In 1901 there were 4,675 divorces
and the last annual total reported by
the Registrar was 1856. These were
very unevenly distributed, the more
densely populated districts showing a
far greater proportion Of dissolved
marriages than the more sparsely In
babited sections.
Again, the religious belief Of the peo-
pie seems also to have had consider.
able effect on their views as to the
disruption of the marriage tie, Prot.
estants, according to the returns, dis.
playing greater readiness to seek d.
vOrce than Catholics.
Taking the country as a whole, one
divorce is granted to every 1000 mar
riages.
BeTliners, however, WHIP are over
whelmingly Protestant, obtain one de-
cree for every 300 marriages; the
Protestant provinces of Schleswig-
Holstein and Brandenburg one in $50;
SaXony, Pomerania and East Prussia.
1 in 1000; Hesse-Nassau, l in 1,1OO.
and Hanover, in 1,400,
Cn the other hand the Catholic
provinces of West Prussia, Schleswig
and Rhineland show only one divorce
for every 1880 marriages. Westphalia

zOllern only one in 5000

WOolNG TERMS ARE MADE.
Composite Mother" Sends Them to
Bachelor

Huron, S. D.-A few weeks ago a
number of Washington Springs girls
adopted an orphan girl and now are
giving her a home. Since the fact be-
came known the girls have received
numerous applications to adopt other
children, but the most interesting fea-
tuTe Of the whole affair is that a
wealthy Nebraskan writes offering to
marry any one of the l2 foster moth
ers, and also to adopt and educate the
child
The girls gave the proposition a
business-like consideration, and in re-
ply to his letter made a counter prop
Osition. h was that the Oldest of the
y accept his offer Of marriage on
these conditions.
That he prove that he is sincere.
That he be qualified in every way
to contract marriage.
That he is able to provide a com
Portable home for his bride and is
willing to make provision for her
every need and comfort.
That he shall abstain from the use
Of cigarettes, tobacco and intoxicants.
That he use no profane language.
That he spend his evenings al
home
That he will not flirt with other
women and will attend church at least
once each Sunday.
The Nebraskan's answer is awaited
with interest.

A Change From the Universal Frying,
Boiling and Baking.

There are many dainty ways OF
cooking fish besides frying, boiling and
baking. Some of these are quite as
easy of achievement and as inexpen-
siVe as the foregoing modes, more
over, nicer. Fish with a cheese sauce
is very good. Almost any white fish
can be cooked in this way.
Take from one pound to two pounds
of fish, wash it well and dry it care
fully Then place it in a clean enam-
eled stewpan, add three gills Of milk,
salt, an onion. notched in order tha,
the juice may escape, a blade of mace
and a good sized sprig of parsley.
Simmer gently until the fish is
cooked, but do not allow the milk 70
reduce Dish it up hot and add from
two ounces to four ounces, according
to taste, of grated cheddar or Dutch
cheese. Stir until the cheese has thor
oughly melted, pour it over and around
the fish and serve at once.
Here is a simpler and quicker way
of cooking a small piece of white fish.
Wash and dry, place in a well-greased
firepToOf china dish, sprinkle thickly
with fried bread crumbs, minced par
sley, and if possible some minced
mushrooms, about two ounces. Place
a bit Of butter here and there and
pour over the whole half a small bot
tie of tomato catsup; sprinkle more
bread crumbs on top and bake in a
moderate oven for from 20 minutes to
half an hour, according to the size and
kind

FOOD FOR THE INVALID.
Dainty Fare and Attractive Serving
Are Both Essential.

Feeding the invalid is an art, and
in some cases a lost art. A tray with
legs six or seven inches high is the
most comfortable way of serving food,
still the effort may be too great and
a glass tube be better. Always have
the nourishment attractively served,
for a dainty dolly under the bowl of
broth may attract the waVering appe-
tite Do not bring a large quantity Of
food to a convalescent, as it often
defeats its purpose.
Here are two simple recipes which
are very acceptable to most patients:
Moisten a teaspOonful Of real Bermuda
arrOwrOot with water, rub smooth
with a spoon, pour on half a pint Of
boiling water and season with wine
and nutmeg. In cooking arrowroot it
is wise to make it thick, afterward
thinning with milk.
Panada is also grateful. Put few
crackers or crusts Of dry bread in
a .sveapan with cold water aRd a few
a. After it has boiled half an
hour, Aavor with wine if the patient
has no fever. If properly made the
mixture will be quite smooth and Of
moderate thickness. Serve on a dain-
ty tray covered with an Immediately
clean cloth. A tiny bunch OF flowers
tucked on the tray does not render
the arrowroot or panada any the less
appetiziHg, and do not forget a well
Drowned strip of toast or a rusk as
an accompaniment 70 the repast.
