GRANDCHILlDREN FIGHT
TO SHARE ESTATE OF
AGED WASHERWONfAN.

Judge Paul L. Miller of the probate
court, has decided that he is disquaIi-
fed in the question of the admission
of Mrs. Alice Leonard's will. Her
grandchildren are in dispute as to the
distribution of her estate. They live
in New York.
Mrs. Leonard was an aged washer
woman living in Gilbert street. The
fact that she was unable to work any
more and that she was living in an
unhealthful tenement was brought to
the attention of the health and chart
ties department and the old woman
was finally removed to Lakeview
home.
Then it was discovered that she had
savings bank deposits aggregating ST.
600.
Mrs. Leonard made a will on April
Z, 1915, leaving all she possessed to
Mrs. Mary SchIeeweis, who, at that
time was caring for her The will
was drawn by Attorney Edward K.
Mich olson and witnessed by Mrs. Ar
line Meyers of Stratford, and Mrs.
Florence NJ. Nissen of Bridgeport.
Judge Miller had appointed a conser-
vator before the woman died. For
that reason he holds that he should
not act further.

ANOTHER COST OF
LIVING ADVANCE.

The woes of the householder null
tipIy. One advance in cost is fol-
lowed by another. One of the latest
is the announcement that wall paper.
due to scarcity of German dyes. has
gone UP in price from % to 80 per
cent. The dark papers have advanc-
ed most, while the lighter styles are
not so much affected.
The time has gone by, however,
when the cost of wall paper was the
principal item in interior decoration.
Labor has gone up SO much of recent
years that an advance in the cost of
the paper has become a secondary
item.
This added expense of interior rem
ovation is keenly felt by the house
wife. Occasional applications OF
clean new paper add greatly to the
attractiveness of a home. These are
days Of dirt and dust and smoke, and
wall paper does not wear clean the
grandfathers put on would often last
a great many years, and seem fresh
and neat even then. Today every
whirIing autom obiIe sends its deposit
of dirt, every railroad train or factory
chimney has its contribution of SCOT
Light coEored papers will look dingy
in a very few years.
This item of household expense can
be much kept down by using dark
co1ored papers, though as noted above
these are the most expensive now. But
it costs no more for the paste brush
artist who puts them on. Many
housewives object to dark papers, on
the ground that they make rooms look
smaller, and if a house is not we'll
lighted they diffuse an atm osphere of
gloom. But they are the only shades
that can be depended on to wear in
these times.
In spite Of these extra, costs the pa
per hangers keep busy most of the
time. AS in all other departments of
domestic lifes the people find the price
for it somehow. The landlord charges
it up with his rent and the public
growls and pays the bill.
