he disposed of practically the entire estate
with the names and amounts of The bene-
ficiaries. He placed alongside the names

The jury in the trial Of the divorce suit
brought by Harvey H. Hevenor against
Grace d. Hevenor brought in verdict
for the wife in the Supreme Court yes
terday.
Hevenor named as correspondent George
W. Shirer. a real estate broker. The tes-
timony was that he and Mrs. Hevenor
went together to a hotel, but that mere
fact Justice Page charged. was not sum
cient TO support the allegation OF miscon-
duct. II was also testified that Shirer
was in the home OF Mrs. Heyenor when

upon them.
Witnesses for Hevenor testified that on
this last occasion his wife was not fully
dressed. Mrs Hevenor produced in court
the dress she said she wore that night.

She showed the rent in the gown. This
created an issue OF veracty, and the jury

Use of Astrineent Lotions.

Nearly all astringent lotions are bleach
ing ahd. applied To the nose especially,
the results are good IN that they serve u
double purpose. Many noses addicted to
enlarged pores are subject to an unnat-
ural eGness arising from poor circulation,
and the action of the astrngent tends to
Lleach the skin, as well as to contract
the pores. IL the astringent treatment
roughens the skin cold cream should be
applied.
If any form of facial eruption is inn
properly treated the results will be worse
than If it had been let alone in the begin
ming. Enlarged pores are the most COM
mon results of the careless treatment OF
pimplcs and blackheads. and this Is not
infrcduently followed by Inflammation
which requires time TO disappear. and
may possibly leave a scar which may be
permanent
Facial eruptions arise from so many
causes that a treatment curing one per-
son may have no effect upon another If
the source of the trouble lies in an en-
tirely different direction. If external
| remedies fail then consult a physician.
But from whatever cause the trouble
arises. a daily bath with warm water and
a complexion brush is guaranteed to i'm
prove the general texture OF the skin.

these expansive collars.
On some Of these practical and equally

diciously. A panel lined with a vivid
