Edwin Bevensee, Of 73 Springfield
avenue. was ordered to pay his wife
81 week for the support of herself
and fourteen -months-o baby in the
First Criminal Court today.
The decision was reached by Judge
Hahn at the conclusion of tale of
sad lack of appreciation of good cook
ing told by the young wife, Mrs. Es-
ther Bevensee, of 534 South Twenty
first street.
She said that on one occasion she
cooked pancakes which her husband
refused to eat. He was very sulky
about 1t, but finally, after many ques-
tions by her, said that the pancakes
were not big enough-those he had al
ways had before him were much
larger.
The next time she cooked pancakes.
the Young wife said, she made them
as big as anyone could, and still her
second achievement did not suit him
any better than the first. He pushed
them aside to her great humiliation
and disappointment.
Surely these are big enough" she
said. They're as big as anyone
could make them"
Eyes, but look how thin they are. "
he replied. who wants pancakes as
thin as tissue. paper?"
Mrs. Bevensee assured the court
that the pancakes were not as thin
as tissue paper, nor at all thin for
that matter. They were much thicker
than could be got in a restaurant
anyhow.
For all her belief that her hus-
bands criticisms were i'll founded and
wholly unreasonable she tried again,
and this time put before him pan
cakes which for extent in every d.
rection could not be surpassed. She
was even surprised herself when she

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. II. :
Among the visitors to Washington for
the past two or three days has been
George H. Fairchild. formerly of Kau.
al and now OF Manila. He has been
hefe making arrangements to send
funds through the state department
to Mrs. Faifchlld, who has been In
Germany, on account of the war His
intention In making the trip from Ma.
Mia was to join his family in Europe,
but he has given this up in the ex.
pectation that his wife, who is with
the family of American Ambassador
Gerard, viii return to this country
and fears that If he should leave here
he might pass her on the ocean. Mrs.
Fairchild has had no trouble in Ber-
lin, thanks to the friendship shown
her by the ambassador, who has per.
sonally taken her and her children in
charge.
Fairchild is exceedingly well pleas
ed over the arrival of the first ship
load of sugar from his Philippine plan
tation, which reached New York three
days ago and was sold for 6h cents,
netting a clear profit of $250,000 more
than was expected when 1t left Ma
Mia. With the price of sugar still on
the rise he looks forward to good
times both for Hawaii and the Philip
pines in the sugar business.
