HUSBAND RIPPED HIS CLOTHES TO
 OISCREOlT WIFE
That's the Story of Eva Deane Roberts, Who Is
 Contesting Divorce Suit

Charging that hey husband slept In the barn just to be mean ana that he ripped buttons from his garments SO he could boast that his wife ne- elected him, Eva Deane Roberts of this city, appeared before Judge Ga ger in the superior court yesterday afternoon to contest the divorce ac- tion brought by Thomas R. Rooerts of this city. She also claimed her husband took young women to enter tainments so he could drive past his home and taunt his wife.
 Roberts is bringing the action on the ground of assertion. He returned to this state only a year ago after five year residence in South Dakota. The law provides that a divorce peti- tioner must have resided in this state for three years but Roberts said he went west for his health and main- tained his residence in this state. Mrs. Roberts alleges she was forced to leave her husband because of his cruel treatment.
 The court reserved decision.

improbable that in the present cir cumstances those who are asked to intervene will accept a task which might we'll disturb condolences here. I will make known officially the precise concerted opinion of the allies but l must now warn my country against a possible poisoning of opinion.
 When a country armed to the teeth mobilizes its entire civil population at the risk of running its commerce and disorgan.zing he homes of which 1t Is so proud, when its factories are work ing overtime to increase It's war ma tertals and when it takes, in disregard of the law of nations, the people of an invaded country and obliges them to work for tiff at that moment I do not cry out to my country: Look out! Take care!' I would be entirely culpable. What comes from wonder as a proposition to negotiate peace is at time when Belgium is invaded, Serbia is invaded, ten departments of France are invaded"
 Deputy Andre L.efevre here inter- rupted. saying:
 And crimes unpunished."
 Premier Briand resumed:
 ''1t is a redoubtable moment and l SdAuOI GULL your dCCcnClOn too much to the facts. What do we see in this address? It is the same cry to de- cefve neutrals or the clairvoyance of the German people-it was not we who desired this horrible war; 1t was imposed upon us.' I want to answer for the hundredth time, Now, you were the aggressors and, whatever you say. the facts are there to prove it. The blood is on your heads and not on ours.'
 'Now coming to the bottom of things. I have the right to denounce this maneuver, this gross, trap. We want it is said by our enemies, to give our people all the means to pros- per that they can desire Others are offered as almost a consent not to an- nihilate them. After the Marne, af- ter Verdun, France, resisting firmly, is offered this! Such a document must be thoroughly mendicated upon to see toward what it tends.''
 There was loud applause at these words and Deputy, Thierry-Cases shouted, "The country thinks as you do."
 Premier Briand then concluded:
 From this rostrum I must say there is a maneuver to separate the allies, disturb the conscience and de- moralize the people of the French Republic. In circumstances such as these the French Republic will not do more than the conventions"

Paris, Dec. 14-Denouncing the German peace proposal as "a gross trap" Premier Briand in his speech before the Chamber of Deputies to- day announced that he would ask of the parliament that it give the yrying on the war.
 promised that the government would not undertake any scheme of national mobilization such as that involved in the German home army plan.
 Evidently" said the Premier, re cent developments are serious but It is necessary to recall what has hap peped in 1916. After eight months it is not a German but a French vic- tory which in truth has been inscrib- ed on French flags"
 The Premier referred to the French success at Verdun and the gains made on the Somme and derided Germany for it's claim of victory while 1t was taking such measures as, what ne termed, the militarizing of the entire population.
 The chamber applauded unanimous ly when he affirmed that the war gov- ernment of France would not follow the policy of Germany. He asked, however, for power to regulate all uestions concerning the national oe- fense, including the possibility or re- o,,isition. but said that if in the fu- ture the latter step was consloereo necessary 1t would not be carried out inconsiderately The chamber agaan applauded when he announced tnat the government would ask the sup n nrassion of the nquor traffic through out France.
 Premiers Briand expressed the cer- taintv that some of the measures taken by Germany have behind them inc object of intensifying the war next spring, when, he said, she VIII have stronger armies to face.

Room With Personality.

The walls of the room were pre- pared in faded gold, like an old mans memory of a sgnshiny day when his heart was young. and the cretonnes at the windows, once brave and gay in their coloring, were blurred, ana dimmed like memories of the short, bright hours of youth. flaming out, one after another, almost painfully distinct. which the hand of time has woven into one indefinite pattern, with all the passionate joy and sharp regret washed out. The restless feet of youth had stamped out the designs in the carpet. and had worn path straight through the heart of the big, peaceful room to the open front and the wide, pulsing world without. Like the inearnate spirit of the room, tae little hostess sat in the stiff, high backed chair of her great-grandfather fluttering her ivory-tinted hands among the fragile china that had been the wedding present of her great grandmother, while the youth of long ago smiled wisely down on her out of their narrow, black frames on the wall-The Countryside Magazine.

In the near future we shall have to see to it that our shoulders are in perfect condition. writes ldalta de Nil- Hers. Paris correspondent of the Bos- ion Globe. White, pump and slightly shining, Yes. it is true that some or inc most important dressmakers in Paris are turning their eyes, longing ly. to the early-Nietorian evening cor sage. Even at the present moment Beer is making a speciality of this out line and our smart women seem to find it attractive.
 It cannot be denied that the early Victorian evening corsage makes con siderable demands on ones figure. We have become athletic since those days. Our girls have gone in for outdoor sports of all kinds. The "clinging-vine
 woman. has gone out of fashion. And to carry of an early-Victorian evening dress with real success one must be, or seem, slightly cingingl
 It seems to breathe feminism-as feminism was understood in the mid de of the last century The sloping shoulders of those days seemed made to carry shawls with exquisite grace.
 They seemed made to carry the bur. dens of fashion, and those only. Since then we women have changed in spirit and in body. We have be- come vigorous and emancipated. We
 certainly have lost the art of carry ing a shawl. What then are we going 10 do with the decollete corsages which leave the whole of shoulders bare at
 every point? We shall see.
 All that concerns me at the pres. ent moment is the unfolding of the lat
 est fashion schemes of famous Par
 isian dress artists.
 The Beer evening corsages of the
 period just suggested are quite charm ing. They recall the wonderful cos tunes worn by the Empress Eugenie in the days when Winterhalter painted his famous portraits of 'the most beautiful women in Europe"
 There is no sign of shoulder strap. even one composed of diamonds. the shoulders are quite bare and the cor sage falls off in a way which would strike terror into the heart of any or | dinary individual who did not under stand the little ways of great dress ! makers.
 It must be recorded that though | these corsages seem very decollete | they are not, in reality, unduly so. Lit tle slin hodies made of white or flesh | pink pongee silk are worn underneath

Day When Love Is King.

The celebration known as St. Val entine's day has greatly degenerated in the past two hundred years. There was a time when it held a prominent and honored place among its sister festivals, and was almost religiously observed. So far as young people were concerned, this festival in olden times was the keystone of the year s social activities. It had a special significance understood by all, and was a splendid means of matchmak- ing-of promoting early and desirable marriages. Surely there is no reason why "the divine passion" should not have day dedicated to it's celebration and diffusion St Valentines day is this day-the day when love Is king, and it behooves the unmated to obey his unwritten but potent and agree able mandate.
