New Uses for
 Popular Bronze

.
 Even the parasol appears in bronze! It's top covering is a lustrous satin foulard; it's ribs and ribtips are of gilded metal, and the handle is one of those best bits of coloring that the maker of parasols' has put out in this season of color schemes on the para sol handle. It is a satin-finished wood that has first been dyed in shades of brown and olive.
 There are new leather belts in bronze for the woman of the bronze shoes and stockings. Silk fourth hand ties are shown in the new color to harmonize with the glossy brown rough and-ready straw hat. These hats are particularly good looking trimmed with the folded scarfs of ir- descent gauge ribbon showing more bronze than gold in the glisten.
 This new note among the gold and silver appears as a relief, and will be very popular with the wearers of the new golden browns.

LLOYD OSBOURNE, KNOWN
HERE, SAYS HE'S PENNILESS

Chronicle. Although Lloyd Os-
bourne, stepson of Robert Louis
Stevenson, and of some prominence as
a magazine writer, admits that he has
not earned cent from his writings
during the past year, he thinks that his
wife, Katharine, who he says has con-
siderable artistic and literary ability,
ought to be able to help support her
self by her own efforts. Mrs. Osbourne
brought suit for maintenance against
her husband last July, and yesterday
he filed his answer.
Mrs. Osbourne charged that her hus-
band deserted her in October, 1901.
She said he was earning $500 month
from his writings and that he had per-
sonal property worth $4,000. She asked
for an allowance from the court of $500
month for the support of herself and
her two children, Alan, aged II, and
Louis Stevenson, aged z.
Osbourne S answer is much more
voluminous and throws some light or
the relations between the two during
the past few years. He starts in by
denying that the children have beer
exclusively in his wife S possession o.
that she has supported them. For SD
years, he says, he has made her 4
monthly allowance, although she re
fused to let him have his share of tbs
custody of the children. He denies
! that he deserted her in October, 1901
and alleges that on the contrary sh'
left him in March, 1902. She fled ;
homestead on the house at 100 LON
bard street, which Osbourne says wa
his separate property and has sine
continued to live there. The renta
value of the place he asserts to b.

instead of having $4,000 he says he
mas not cent and his income from his
writings, always variable quantity,
during the past year he declares to
nave been nil. He has been reduced
TO borrowing money from his mother,
ana his mother has even paid the SIS
a month to Mrs. Osbourne.
In addition to what he claims Mrs.
OsDourne receives, he makes the al
legation that his wife has considerable
artistic and literary ability and that
she is capable of earning an income
from her efforts in that line.
He strenuously opposes her prayer
to be allowed to have the custody of
the children, asserting that he has
been Informed and believes that she
mas made no effort to have them edu-
I, Gated or sent to school He asks that
,, at least the custody of the elder son,
Alan, be intrusted to him, and says
! that he and his mother are ready and
willing to support them. Edgar D.
Peixotto and Joseph D. Redding are his
attorneys and Sullivan and Sullivan
and Theodore J. Roche represent Mrs
Osbourne.

Osbourne has charged that the eide
woman has done her best to endeavo
