Woman Named In Alienation Suit
Papers notifying the defendant of
suit for the sum of $4,000 for the
alienation Of the affections of Will
liam Noble have been placed in the
hands Of the officers for service up
on Grace Pierce Louch, who Is &C
cused by Mrs. Margaret Noble of al
tering the affections of her husband,
against whom a suit for divorce is
now pending in the district court.
The claim for the amount arises from
the divorce suit which Mrs. Noble
has filed, through her Attorney A. P.
McGuirk, against William Noble on
the grounds Of cruel and inhuman
treatment and statutory grounds.
The plaintiff alleges that the defend
ant is now co-habitating with the
correspondent named and has been
for some time. In the account of
the filing of the divorce proceedings
instituted two days ago in the dis
trict court by Mrs. Noble, the name
of D.. ]. Harfst was inadvertently
used, Mr.. Harfst having no connec-
ton whatsoever with this case. The
suit which was instituted some time
ago by Mr.. Noble against his wife,
was on the grounds of cruel and in
human treatment and upon the filing
of cross petition by Mrs. Noble, the
decree sought was denied. She al
legged statutory grounds and the case
was dismissed.

Acute Alcoholism Cause Of Death

death of Nels Hallgren, the Moline
blacksmith who died in the city am
bulance Friday night, while on his
way to the hospital, after being
stricken while eating at the Iowa
restaurant at Third and Perry streets

death. Acute alcoholism was ascrib-

WHY MEN MAKE GOOD CHEFS
More Thorough In Little Details
Which Are Necessary to Make
Up a Perfect Dish.

Why are men chosen as chefs in all
of the chief hotels and restaurants 2
1t is not, as many contend, on account
of physical stamina, as the finest chefs
only direct and taste, and very seldom
do any of the actual work. 1t is not
because a man is more epicurean than
woman, for this, though maintained by
woman, is rot fact. Woman is
quite as fastidious over her food as,
the ordinary man, and bestows as
much thought over her meals as he
does. 1t is simply, explains the Los
Angeles Herald, that man is more
thorough in little details which are
necessary to make up a really per-
feet dish.
Take for an example an Indian curry
containing so many little trifing in
gradients, all of which are equally i'm
portant to make perfect dish when
finished. The loss of one would mean
the spelling of the others, and the
complete ruin of the flavor of the
curry. The man will carefully meas
ure each ingredient and have the dish
in it's perfection. None is too unim-
portant for his consideration. A wom-
an, on the other hand, will manage
with what she has got handy. This
is nice and obliging of her, no doubt,
but it eventually spells her cooking,
and the dish is not success. Even
in the case of amateurs a man is
more successful than a woman for
these reasons, and also because he
takes more pride in his work of pre-.
pairing a tempting repast.
A great many people think that any
one can cook who happens to possess
cookery book and few pots and
pans. What a fallacy! A great chef
is born, like any other great artist.
OF course, he must learn his art, as
they do theirs, but he has a natural
gift for his work even before he
starts it.
To the chef his work is joy 'for-
ever" and he invents new dishes with
as much pride and care as modiste
or a milliner creates some new gown
or bonnet, and he carefully studies the
trifing details of each separate fla
yor before he sends his new master
piece of culinary art before his pa.
irons.

PEN-RACK AND PEN-WlPEP
Very Useful Article for Hanging on

in our sketch may be seen very
useful little article for hanging upon
the wall by the side of the writing
table, it consists of combined pen
wiper and pen-rack.
The upper part for the pens is made
of square piece of stiff cardboard,
smoothly covesed with silk and edged
with a silk cord carried into three
little loops at each corner, and there
is a long loop above by which it may
be suspended from nail in the wall.
Two straps of ribbon are arranged
on either side and foldo SO that they
form six little loops into which the
pens may be slipped in and held in
the manner illustrated.
Sewn on to the lower edge is a pen

hook and covered with the same silk

TO HOLD VEIL IN PLACE
One Method Which Saves the Veil
and Involves Hardly Any
Trouble.

A number of clever expeditions have
been devised to hold a veil snugly
under the chin without giving it an
ugly line. Here is one method which
saves the veil also and involves hard
ly any trouble. Get the narrowest
kind of round elastic, the same color
as the veil (paint the white elastic
with water colors for a colored veiD
and whip it over the extreme edge of
the veil, taking up only a single
thread all around. Include any cut
edges. but afterward pare thine off
neatly with a small pair of scissors.
Fasten in back with tight knot
The veil is slightly gathered on the
elastic, fits nicely under the chin and
over hat, and stretches when it is
raised. 1t seems the best solution of
a vexing problem of dress.

the brown coats of plaster, the finish
ing coat being plastered on the con-
crete. This wall will cost from Is to
20 cents per square foot Of wall, plus
the finish coat. Another method Is to
use a six-inch wall, which is strong
enough for any two-story house, with
Turing, lathing, or metal sheathing On
the inside, which gives enough air
space on the wall to keep all the
dampness from coming through. Plas-
ter in the regular way, with two brown
coats and one finish coat. This will
cost from II to IS cents per square
foot for the concrete plus the lathing
and plastering. These prices are
equal to six to ten dollars per cubic
yard of concrete.
Concrete partitions two inches thick
reliable in every way, can be put up
for 16 to 20 cents per square foot.
Floors, by using concrete in connec-
lion with hollow tile, can be placed for

New En1hroideries.

Wonderful effects of color are OBJ
tainable in new embroideries The
tones are Of autumn and possess the
deep violet and purple and green of
the grape. This is done on linen, which
is tan or shade of brown, and rich
effects are accomplished by this COM
bination
Soft pillows and table covers done in
these tones on brown linen or crash
and used in a room with brown wick
er furniture and hangings would be
most effective.
The new Dresden embroidery is usu-
ally attractive. 1t is dainty and suit
able for bedroom. 1t is done on self
colored linen in a dozen different
tones with single stitch and made

talked in this way to her, but the
girl went on after they had reached
the street.

The little imp left the older woman

true? Had it been eight years? Was
she heartless? Had John asked her
to marry him for the last time, be-
cause he really thought she did not

went home, got into a neat house
dress, and began to prepare her lone
ly supper.
AS she ate her meal with little ap-

depressed, uncomfortable. vaguely
miserable.
She sat thinking, her tea cooling.
Could it be possible that that little
goose of Sadie-why, Sadie would
make him miserable-a f1ippant,
mercenary, rosebud Of thing. And
then she knew that she was jealous
actually jealous. The wonder and
the hurt of it swept across her heart.
She remembered that almost year
