Royalty and tho Children,

Queen Adelaide, the wife OF William

that her own two little ones died In
their infancy. Every Christmas eve,

Hurry.

10 our own age belongs the credit of
having raised hurry from the degraded
position of disease to that of a com.
merclal process. Formerly hurry sim
ply brought people to an early grave
with nothing to show for it. whereas
now it is become the means Of trans.
forming peace Of mind, which ia a
soleclsm, to say the best Of it, into
ready money. Hurry has grown to re
great TACT IN life. Even the fashions
take account of 1t, until women are
found doing up their hair in such a
way that they may 60 the speed limit
without fear OF its coming down. And
the best Of hurry Is that it is its own
sunicient justification. Nobody ex.
poets hurry to have any particular
reason behind 1t any more.-Life.

JUDGES HEARD DIVORCE
CASE IN PRIVATE COURT

In Georgetown behind closed doors.
Chief Justice Pennewill and Judges
Hastings and Wooley Tuesday and
Wednesday heard the divorce action Of
Alice LeonOra Won Haesler vs. Richard
V. Won Haesler, OF Milford. In many
respects the action is unusual. It is
the first action fOrdivOrce from bed and
board in this State, and it is the fret
divorce heard in private by the Judges.
II also is the first private hearing under
the law passed by the last Legislature
giving the court discretion to hold pTi
vate hearings if deemed advisable.
In sn action for divorce from bed
and beard, il the decree is granted
neither party to the separation can
marry again. 1t is form Ofseparation
provided in the new divorce laws OF
the State, and is different from the ab
solute divorce. in which either party
may marry again.
J. Hall Anderson represents Mrs.
Won Haesler, and Trusten P. Causey Is
counsel for the husband. MIS- Won
Haeseler is asking for separation, the
custody Of the three children and all
mony for the support Of the children.
She charges extreme cruelty. The Won
Haeselers moved to Delaware from
New York about eight months ago,
and live near Milford. No stipulated
residence in Delaware is set forth as a
preliminary TO suing for divorce from
bed and board.
During thehearing the prothOnOtary
other clerks, crier and attendants, as
we'll as the public, were excluded from
the court room. StenOgrapher E. e..
Hardesty being the only person pres
ent aside from judges, the parties to
the divorce action aud the witnesses.
The testimony dealt with alleged
cruelty Of Won Haeseler toward his
wife, letters he is charged to have writ
ten and statements he is accused OF
making to her.
