DR.. COOKS WIFE
MAY SEEK DIVORCE
FRIEND SAYS SHE is DISGUSTED
WITH THE EXPLORERS BE-
HAVIOR.

NEW YORK, January Mrs. Fred
erick A, Cook the wife of the dis
credited Arctic explorer, is said to
be here now, but to avoid notice, she
is keeping her whereabouts secret.
Her two little daughters are at the
Hamilton Institute for Girls here, hav-
ing been placed there a few days be-
fore Cook disappeared. Mrs. R. o.
Stebbins, the wife of a prominent
member of the Arctic Club and a close
friend of Mrs. Cook, spoke to her late
ly, She says that Mrs, Cook is a
woman of great refinement, and that
she is thoroughly Disguised with DR..
Cooks behavior The outcome of the
North Pole matter has caused her keen
humiliation.
She was married six years ago to
Cook. He had been betrothed to her
sister, who died. She was a widow,
and had an estate, which her first
husband left her. Mrs. Stebbins states
that Mrs Cook told her that for five
years Cook had not contributed to the
support of his family. Mrs. Cook has
not only paid all the household ex-
penses, but gave Cook money for his
trips. She is mortified because Cook
did not pay his obligations before he
went away. Out of the money ne made
when his glory as discoverer of the
North Pole lasted, he gave his wife
nothing.
Mrs. Stebbins says that Mrs. Cook
has the most valuable parts of the
diary, and intends to keep them until
he makes some settlement with her.
1t is rumored that she may sue for
divorce, but this report is not verified.
