ton of Her Swindler HuS-
bands Affections.

Mrs. Una Gosln got 4 verdict for
(5o,0oo from fury before Justice Brady
b the Supreme Court to-day. She had
sued Annie Irene Magher for alternating
the affections OF her husband, Alfred r.
Gosl!n, and running away to Paris with
him. A lis pendens fled by Mrs. Goslin
two years ago for the purpose Of tying
/, up a Herkimer street and a President
street house in Brooklyn, OF which Miss
Magher Is tho owner OF record. may be
useful TO her now.
Mrs. Goslin has testified on two or
three occasions that these houses We're
really her own; that she handed 81, 90,
to her husband with Instructions to in
vest In real estate for her, but that he
instead bought these two houses and
recorded the deeds in the name Of her
rival, Miss Magher.
q Mrs. Goslin's story OF her life with
Qosttn, prince OF swlndlers. Is remark
able. Having swlndled everybody else
he concluded his New York career by
swindling his wife. leaving her pennl-
less when he fed to Europe. a fugitive
from justice, having been convicted
and sentenced and balled pending an
appeal. He Jumped his bail when the

The Ethical Ceremony.
"Dr. Adler. OF course, does not believe
that personal happiness Is the end Of
marriage. The ethical marriage Is q
dedication for life OF two persons, each
10 the welfare OF the other. The cere-
mony Is very simple. There may be an
exchange OF rings, but 1t Is not neces-
sary. Two questions must be asked ac-
according to law-'Do you take this
woman to be your wife7 and DO YOU
take this man to be your husband?'
When rings are exchanged this formula
is rected: With this ring thee wed In
love and truth TIL death do us part It
is perfectly simple, perfectly legal.
THE ethical marriage Is based on tho
idea Of duty, the knowledge OF and wish
TO do right. When two people earnestly
seek each others welfare rather than
their own personal happiness. as in the
ethical marriage, there can be no need
for divorce"

Jimmy Slamen. the older boy, turned
the baby. Martin. over to the first fire

little heap.
The fire was easily put out. though
It had consumed pretty much every
thing in the way of furniture that the
Slamens had and was licking up the
walls OF the front room. Little Martins
head was mass of burns and his
features were undistinguishable. his
hands We're also terribly scOrched.
Jimmy came to. when they carried
the two down to the street, and sobbed
Ind walled as he protested that he
had done the best he could to slap out
the flames as they blazed up on the
baby's clothes. But he hadn't been
able to put them out. His own black

While an ambulance surgeon was
working over the two boys. their
mother came back to her ruined home
with a loaf OF bread In her arms. 1t
