rwo Phases Of nsoolaI s~erulc.v

Social service" Is an a~lliterative
and fluent phrase which is often heard
in these times. 1t commonly means
service for the body, food for the
hungry, clothes for the naked, and
coal for the shivering. But is this the
only kind of social service that can be
rendered? There are m%ultitudes of
people who neither hunger nor SILVER,
but are sad and idle and selfish. What
can be done for them? Are not ideals
and uplifting influences as much need
ed today az food and clothes and coal?

DIVORCE AND
Mrs. Emma L. Wakelee Sues Woman
Who Was Arrested for Enter
taininn Her Husband.

t&iitIi8 ttSt tiAS1cHi4s
Within a week after declaring that
she saw her husband come out of the
home of Mrs. Emma l.. Wakelee, in
Asbury Park, at 2 o'clock in the norm
ing, Mrs. Susan B. Smock, of Asbury
Park, has brought suit in the Chan
Gerry Court against her husband,
George A. Smock, charging him with
infidelity and with improper conduct
with Mrs. Wakelee. Mrs. Wakelee,
who is the wife of Edward Wakelee,
connected with the out-of-town depart
ment of a New York city bank, was
arrested at Asbury Park and held in
$500 bail for entertaining Smock at
her home, which breach of morals, it
was charged, did harm n Mary
Doe At the time it was given out
that the Mary Doe was Mrs. Smock,
who said she watched with others her
husband go into the house of Mrs.
Wakelee, heard an alarm clock chime
vigorously just before 2 o'clock in
the morning, and shortly afterwards
saw her husband emerge from the
llOuoC. OllOSh % ~ SoloChI VI liz oU
chanan & Smock Lumber Company
and superintendent of the First Con-
g~regatnonal Sunday School at the
shore resort. He acknowledged that
he knew Mrs. Wakelee, but denied i'm
proper conduct with her. Now comes
the suit for divorce.
Laid a Plan.
In her bill Mrs. Smock recites her
marriage to Smock, October 2, 1879, at
Eatontown, her maiden name being
Susan Borden Wardell. She charges
Smock with improper relations with
Mrs. Wakelee from January 1, 1905,
month by month, and indicates that
she had laid a plan to catch him, in
the execution of which a Detective
Agency was called into the case. Mrs.
port her and that she be permitted to
resume her maiden name. 1t became
known here through counsel that
while Mr.. Smock was superintendent
of the First Congregational Sunday
School and Mrs. Smock was teacher of
the Bible class, Mrs. Wakelee was one
of her pupils. 1t was through the Bible
class that MI. Smock became acquaint-
ed with Mrs. Wakelee. C~oincident
with the filing of the suit for divorce,
counsel for Mrs. Smock filed a suit in
the Supreme Court for $4,000 dam
ages against Mrs. Wakelee for alien
ating the affections of her husband.
All of the parties to the suit are veal
thy and of good standing. Mrs. Wake
lee declares her innocence as does Mr..
Smock, while Mrs. Smock and her
friends are equally positive of their
position.
