death of his father had broken his
back while diving and It was believed
by physicians could not long survive.
In the litigation Of the win contest,
the sisters tried to show that the
elder Duryea defended the testament
tary capacity of his father and won
the case. Since then he and his sis
ters have had nothing In common, sell

During the whole twelve years Of his
illness, Miss Peregrine was his con-
slant companion and friend, his con-
f1dent and nurse. The Duryea's will
probably not object to her receiving
the special bequegt Of $50 900 he pro-
vided for her In the will but It Is now
generally accepted that they VIII OPP
pose her being made the beneficiary
Of the deceased's home and the resi-
due Of the estate, which is worth
81, 900 or more. The good fortune
that has come to Miss Peregrine has
called to mind the success that has
attended the ministrations along sim
liar lines of other nurses in New York
within the last few years. A little
more than twelve months ago, a
young western nurse who has been at
tending Mrs. Morganthau, the wife
of a wealthy merchant OF this city
for nine years. received a present of
$4,000 from the wonan's husband
when her patient died. Six months
ago, another nurse a southern woman
in the family Of a wealthy banker
was given $4,000 for her devotion
to her patient These frequent in
stances Of the opportunities of the
nursing field, have of late greatly
stimulated the applications for ad-
mission to the various nursing schools
attached to the city hospitals. In ad-
dttion to those who have come into
money through this vocation, more
than fifty nurses in the city within
the last eighteen months have mar
ried physicians and prosperous busi-
ness men

be represented there by Lady Decies

Lady Roxburghe (May GoeIet) When
the late King Edward was crowned.

ped all the American peeresSes in rank
and the Vanderbilts were in high
feather While they have nothing to
say publicly on the subject, they do
not hesitate to express their disap-
prevail of the embargo placed by King
George and Queen Mary on Divorces,
especially on innocent parties to such
actions They do not agree with the
old-fashioned idea of the English
sovereign that a wife should recon

husband and endeavor by moral SUI

chalkline, however firmly his disposed
to stray into strange and forbidden
pastures A self respecting woman
they think must divorce an incorrig-
ible husband, even If 1t is against
public policy and old fashioned theo-
rtes Of what is right for a wife to do,
