YOUNG WIDOWS DIARY
ORDERED DESTROYED
Ruling Part of Judgment by
Which Mrs. Dean Gets
$193,75O of Estate.

CHICAGO June 17.-Mrs. Suzanne Ella
Wood Dean, young widow of John f..
Dean, will receive S193,7J from her hus-
bands estate of 81, 400 900. according to
a Judgment entered in court yesterday.
This is the result of her contest OF
Deans will. begun soon after his death,
in November, 1908, in which an ante
nuptial agreement was cited by which
she was to accept $4,000 in cash and the
income of $50, 600 in lieu of dover rights.
She contested the will on the. ground
that she had been deceived as to the
amount of Deans fortune.
There were four Dean daughters by a
previous marriage.Evelyn and Marian,
noted as the handsome Dean twins :;
Mrs Grace Jackson and Mrs. Blanche
BIackman. They expected to divide the
fortune in equal parts and would have
done SO had the will gone to probate.
Mrs. Dean insisted on widows right to
one-third.
In the course of the contest it became
known that the daughters had a diary
written by Mrs. Dean covering her can
did impressions of Mr.. Dean during the
period of courtship and their cary mar
ried years Mention of this diary In
court curbed the eaSerness of the con-
testant. On several occasions When the
lawyers for the family offered it In evil
dence Mrs. Deans attorney kept it out.
The diary seems to have been the means
of reducing her demands. and as part OF
the Judgment the court ordered that this
record in her handwriting be destroyed.
Ran Up Big Bills.
Mrs Dean had eight years of welded
life The daughters were old enough to
be her companions. Their father had
always been indulgent with them. and
he proved no less 50 with the young
bride. All the fashionable stores knew
the Dean women and were glad to give
them unlimited credit. They ran such
extravagant bills, however, that about
year before his death Mr.. Dean called
a halt. it is said. A bill for $1,000 for
Sealskin coat was the occasion.
He placed an advertisement in all the
city newspapers forbidding any sales or
deliveries on his account without his
written consent. Everybody concerned
read the notice except Mrs. Dean and
the daughters. who suffered the humilia-

This Refrigerator Cow, When
MIXED Gives Ice-CoId Fluid.
A curious idea for milk carts is
contained in this patent, applied for
in 1898. Just what it is intended for
is told by the inventor himself: MY
invention is a new and useful improve
ment in milk refrigerators and deliv-
cry apparatus, and has for its object
the provision of a device that resem-
bles life-sized COW, in which milk
may be stored and kept at a proper
temperature, and from which it may
be drawn as occasion requires after
the manner of milking a COW. With
in the body are receptacles or compart
ments, each of which is provided with
a cover and adapted to contain the de-
sired quantity of milk. By the use of
two receptacles two qualities of milk
may be stored at the same time, such
as sweet milk and buttermilk. In the
bottom of each of the receptacles is
located a valve having a spring for
normally holding it in place, so as to
prevent the downfiowing of the milk.
Each of the teats has a toggle-lever
connected to a lift-rod, and when the
latter is raised the valve is lifted and
the milk flows out of the teats. By
proper manipulation of this device a

WOMEN AND LOVE.
Only the Isolated Girl Able to Keep

Only the Isolated Girl Able to Keep
Illusions as Time Passes.
In Harper's Bazaar Gertrude Ath-
erton. the novelist, has an interesting
article on love. She knows her sub
ject well. Among other things she
says this:
I'VE all know that the older girls
grow, the more difficult are they to
please in the matter of man; that is
to say, when they have the opportu-
nifty to meet a. reasonable number of
men. 1t is only the sidetracked girl
generally in small towns deserted by
the young mem or the too sheltered
girl, who keeps her illusions. Women
that see too much of men soon lose
these; In mixed colleges the process
of disenchantment begins just that
much earlier-and in the most plastic
years Of the human mind. The girls
who, almost shamefacedly, announce
their engagements Immediately upon
the close of their collegiate career, are
the undeyiatingly maternal, those in
whom love of children is so deeply
implanted that no amount of contact
(save matrimonial) can rub off the
masculine halo. Others may have
quite as much good looks and even
charm, may even have certain youth
full element after romance, but the ma
ternal element in them does not pre-
dominate, and that leaves them free
to pause and think, consider; to see
the male animal, with which they
have rubbed elbows for several years,
exactly as he is. Therefore, they con-
clude to wait few years and seek the
opportunities TO meet men that can
companion them, give them something
more than brief romance, family,
or an establishment. Sometimes these
girls, particularly if they discover
ability enough TO make an interesting
career, do not marry at all. No man
fulfills their ideals of what a life com
panion should be; they conclude thai
happiness is to be found alone, not in
the surrender of liberty to some one
man who may develop all sorts of de
testa0le traits.
