panion, Ethel Conrad, is on trial in
the Supreme Court for shooting w. e.
D. Stokes in the legs last June, was
cross-examined today.
Miss Graham showed signs of the
ordeal through which she passed Fri

twitched and her hands went constant
ly to her lair. To the prosecutors
question she replied in a clear voice,
emphasized by shakes of her head.
Miss Graham admitted that she
knew when she went to the Ansonia

been divorced here, but said she did
not know that under the laws Of New
York there is only one cause for di-
yorce. She admitted, also, hat she
knew Stokes had no intention of mar
rying again, as he had written to her
that having failed to make one wom-
ar happy he did not intend to try with
another Miss Graham said, however.
that their acquaintance at that time
was only friendship with no thought of
marriage.
The witness declared that nobody had
told her what kind of a man Stokes
was.
Didn't you know of his relations
with women"
No
Didn't you want to get on his pay
rolf"
mo, sir"
why didn't you stop writing and
telephoning to him when he continued
to 'disappolnt' you in this way?"
Because replied Miss Graham, ''he
always gave a very good excuse"
In February, 1907, Miss Graham wrote
Stokes the farewell letter in which
she addressed him as "dearie," told him
she never expected to see him again
and closed ito the only man / ever
loved"
IF you were a young, pure girl of Is
or 10 why did you write such a letter
as this; what could you hope to gain
from a man in Stokes's position2" she
was asked today.
WELL replied Miss Graham. me
wrote me a good many letters and 1
saw him frequently"

But, Thank Goodness, DR.. Anna
Dryer Halls from
Chicago!
BY ETHEL ROSEMON.

Horror of horrors! She says we're
growing fat. Who? A person by the
name of DR.. Anna Dwyer. But, don't
worry, gentle reader, she halls from
Chicago, and maybe she never had an
opportunity to feast her vision upon
the sylph-like forms Of the superior sex
of Newark. IL she were to say: .
Sad as it may seem, have big
feet" you'd laugh it off, and as you
surveyed your 3-AAs you'd murmur:
'"That doesn't mean us. That's Chi
cago."
But you've all heard the old adage
about an ounce of prevention, and
though we emphatically deny the al
legation we may find 1t beneficial to
examine the causes and the remedies
set forth by this worthy M. d.
Women are steadily, but surely,
growing fat" she declares. And there
isn't any occasion for it. because obes-
ity and laziness are almost partners.
Women grow fat because:
They eat too much,
They drink too much.
They don't exercise enough, and
They are lazy.
Obesity is a condition of abnormal
nutrition and through laziness fat is
stored in the body instead of being
burned up by exercise.
"Obesity creeps on one very gradual
ly, and from day to day 1t is hardly
perceptible, but heavy fleshy looking
faces, obtrusive hips, enlarged waist
line, and all the other ugly things one
acquires with ~avoirdupois. are the price
women must pay II they continue in
the way they are going.
"This Is more of a problem for women
than 1t is for men, for men are not suf-
fering as women are, They have not
time for both mental and physical in
dolence.
Women lose-at least the majority
oo-their good looks and pretty figures.
"The way to note the approach of
obesity is to note the time when the
weight becomes burdensome and walk
