DIVORCED WIFE
HAS NO CLAIM
ON EX-HUSBAND
e-ChanceIIor Holds That
Ante-NuptiaI Contract Doesn't
Bind Parker Estate.

Vice-Chancellor Howell has made a
decision in which he sets aside the
claim of divorced wife to an estate
under an instrument executed by the
husband before the divorce was OBJ
tanned. and upholds will. made after
ward, in which the whole of the prop
erty is devised to the children of a
brother of the divorced husband.
The proceeding was brought before
the vice-chancellor by the New Jersey
Title Guarantee and Trust Company,
holder of the estate as trustee. TO dis
cover what should be done with it,
The entire estate consists of securi-
ties, belonging to the estate of Henry
M. Parker, who at one time lived in
Yonkers, N. Y.
In 1902, Parker sought to have Kath-
arine Bailey marry him, and she con-
sented, on condition that he should
make provision for her by placing his
property in trust and arranging that
one-third of the income of the prop
erty should be paid TO her and that
at his death the whole fund was to go
to her. He agreed to this, and in pur.
trust deed, transferring all his
properties to the New Jersey Title
Guarantee and Trust Company in
trust. However, in this trust deed II
was provided that the company could
transfer to such persons as he named
in his deed all of the securities or
other property as should be in the
company's possession at that time,
Also Made a viii.
Miss Bailey then married Parker,
and he instructed the trust company
to send one-third of the income of
the estate to his wife and two-thirds
to himself. AT that time he also
made will, but this was since de-
stroyed.
In March, 1909, Parker, his wife and
her mother were sojourning in Flor
ence, Italy. Some time during this
month Mrs. Parker became estranged
from her husband, and, leaving him,
returned to this country. She never
afterward lived with him, but her
mother. Mrs. Margaret H Bailey, re-
mained in Italy with Parker.
After arriving in this country, Mrs.
Parker had an instrument drawn up
which recited the ante-nuptial agree
ment, and directed that in carrying
tn1S Oup tne trust company pay W
Mrs. Parker the one-third of the in
come, and in the event of Parker's
death TO pay over the principal
thereof as directed in my will" at
the same time informing the trust
company that he had made will
giving the total of his estate to his
wife at his death.
Sent to Italy.
This document was sent to Parker
in italy and was executed by him
before the American consul at Lu
zerne, Switzerland. the date of the
execution being fixed as June "a,
1909. In 1912 Mrs. Parker obtained
divorce, and some time afterward
Parker executed a will in which he
left all of his property to the two
of his brother Richard Fay
Parker, and making his brother his
executor
Mr. Parker died in March. 1914, and
Mrs. Parker married a Mr.. Junkin, OF
St. Louis, Mo. She claimed the es-
tate under the ante-nuptial agree
ment and the subsequent document,
but the vice-chancellor held that
this was superseded by the will de
vising the property to his brothers
children.

Her Own Idea.

A certain little girl was discover
ed by her mother in a spirited en-
counter with a small friend. who
had got considerably worsted in the
engagement.
Don't you know, dear" said the
mother. that 1t is very wicked to
behave so? 1t was Satan that
put into your head to pull Elsie's
hair"
We'll. perhaps it was," the child
admitted, but kicking her shins
was entirely my own idea. "-Ex.

The Goat Of Jewels.

When it comes to superstitions,
| guess there isn't much difference
between emperorS and commuters"
said the manager of one of the
loops largest jewelry stores recent
ly The managar held in his hand
a story from Paris that the emper-
or of Austria is seeking to Danish
the "Hapsburg hoOdnO" by selling
the famous opal, the costliest of
the crown jewels.
That's not at all surprising" said
the mana ,er. The opal is the
jewel goat. If man has any mis-
fortune, if his wife deserts him. or
his busines fails, or his stomach
goes back on him, the first thing he
thinks OF if he owns an opal is the
old legand that opais bring bad
luck.
DO you know" smiled the man
ager. we don't keep opalS in stock.
Not one. No calls for them. It's
rarity in the jewelry business to
have some one inquire for an opal.
Occasionally we get opals for some
of our regular patrons, but it is rare
that chance customer comes in
and asks to see one.
Before the scientific facts coz
corning the opal were known it was
believed that devils lived in its pur-
pie and red fire An opal will burst
if heated or cooled too much. The
fluctuations of temperature produce
a changing color in the opal, due.
as it. is now known, to the move
ment of the water in it.
All these phenomena were be-
lieved to be supernatural and the
opal from the earliest time was de-
clared to be an omen of bad luck.
1t was supposed to foretell things
once and in later age it was sup
posed to possess the power of pur-
suing its owner with an evil fate,
The superstition. like scores of
other queer beliefs. have survived.
To this day people believe that
opals bring bad luck. 1t isn't very
strange to hear that an emperor is
trying to get rid of his. Something
brings bad luck and it might as
well be opals Chicago News
