A claim for alimony due a divorced
wife at the time Of her death is not
personal claim that dies with her,
but survives in favor OF her estate.
This is the unanimous opinion of the
Court of Appeals just handed down
in the case of the estate of Mrs. De-
borah Van Ness against the estate Of
Cornelius H. Van Ness, who died in
1911, leaving an estate of more than
100000
Mrs. Van Ness, who obtained di-
vorce in 1867 with alimony of 5000 a
year, died last January . the age Of
ninety-one. No part of the alimony
had been paid. and her ,-.ecutors sued
for the back alimony, which now
amounts to S2s,sOO without interest.
Mr.. Van Ness was twice married
after his first wife divorced him. When
he died th,re was a long litigation
over his estate, most OF which he had
turned over to his third wife, a woman

Mrs. Van Ness received all Of the
estate, except 100000.
The executors Of the first Mrs. Van
Ness asserted a claim for the unpaid
alimoay, ard the third .fe OF the
decedent, through Senator O'Gorman,
declared that the first wife having
failed to collect the alimony in her
lifetime. her executors could not be
substituted as claimants. The Court OF
Appeals decides against this conten-
ton.
The highest court sd, that, "ali-
mony is not a personal claim in the
same sense that cause % action Tor
SANDER or assault is personal. II Is
personal in q. sense that il is a plo-
vision made by the husband in favor
of the wife for her maintenance and
support. and cannot be diverted from
that purpose 1t takes the place Of
the husbands liability, which ended
with the divorce II there had been
no divorce, the husbands liability
would have continued while the marital
relation existed, and liability on the
judgment should continue to the same
extent. Therefore the alimony sued
for in this case, which accrued prior
to the death of the wife, was not
personal claim that died with her, but
a right viii h survived in favor Of her
personal representatives"

gize to their children? Most people
would think off-hand that to apologize
would be to weaken their position. But
the very opposite is true.
As Edward Howard Griggs says:
Suppose the parent acknowledges his
fault and apologies for it: when he
turns to the further question of the
child's impudence his hands are
strengthened He meets the child on
the plane of moral equality in refer
ence TO right action, the only plane on
which any moral question can be solved.
The child Strengthens up; it is no lon
ger five years old or three feet high,
but human spirit to whom you have
said-by your action, not in ords-
My child, see in you a spirit in
trusted through some mystery of the
universe for little time to my care,
and recognize it as my earnest duty
TO give you whatever treatment will
help you out into the ssnest and sweet
est life
at is in the latter case that the real
respect of the child is kept-not the
notion of our supposed infallibilty,
sure to be shattered sooner or later,
but the reverence that comes from see
ing more and more clearly that. through
all our mistakes. we have been striving,
not for our ease and comfort, but for
the child's welfare"

CAKES TO SERVE WITH ICE CREAM.

TIME days of serving fancy layer
cakes with ice cream have passed,
and the small, fancy cakes, tiny
tartlets of fresh fruit and French
pastry, have taken their places. II
seems ridiculous, but it is fact that
the confectioner or baker charges more
in proportion for these little cakes,
which really do not come up to the
old-fashioned cakes in rich daintiness,
than they did for the layer cakes.
But with few good recipes and a
little practice the home cook may be-
come quite clever in this line of cook
cry and the better house furnishing
shops offer a wide choice of little odd
shaped pans and moulds for this pur'
pose, Just the same as those used by
the baker.
For some of the little cakes pound
cake, silver cake, sponge cake and solid
chocolate cake dough is used, varying
them with different tinted fancy frost
ings garnished with split blanched
almonds. chopped almonds, almonds
rolled in jelly, almonds wrapped in
seeded half raisins, strips of angelica,
sweet seeds, chopped currants, pre-
served cherries, candied pineapple,
grated lemon peel, tiny silvered candied
hearts, candy mites and candied mint,
violet and rose caves. These various
garnishes are pressed into the frost
ing while they are still soft, then as
it hardens they stiffen into place and
are not easily dislodged.
The colorings used are the French
Breton make, purely vegetable and
harmless. Green, pink, violc. and yell
