 ing Another'S Hubby

New York, July 29.-Satistied that her husband and a woman whom, she alleged, she found in bachelor apart ment had not gone there to say their pattern noster," Mrs. Rose Smith Stuart yesterday filed action for divorce in the supreme court, Brooklyn, against Harry P. Stuart of Stuart, Milliken & Co.,, Wholesalers of hosiery and un- derWear at 366 Broadway. Following their marriage, June g, 1918, the cou- pie went to live at 215 Exeter street, Manhattan Beach. Mrs. Stuart named as correspondent one of her neighbors, Mrs. Dorothy Hallenbeck, whose hus- band Lieut.. Arthur Fillmore Hallen- beck, is in France with the American expeditionary forces.
 Mrs. Stuart said that she is 26 years old, while her husband is 45. Each has been married previously and Mrs. Stuart asserted that her present hus- band persuaded her to get a divorce from her first husband and provided her with the necessary funds and wit nesses. Mrs Hallenbeck is said to be 23 years of age.
 Mrs. Stuart declares that she lived in "style, comfort and happiness un- til three months ago. Her complaint continues:
 'I had servants and everything my heart desired My husband even bought a Packard touring car for ST. 900 as a wedding gift to me, which was delivered shortly after our mar riage. He allowed me s10O every month for pin money, beside paying all my bills for gowns, dresses and all wearing apparel, household expenses, for the servants, food, coal and upkeep of the home, well my garage bills and necessary exenses for the up keep of the car, all of which am ount to a great sum in these times of the high cost of living"
 Mrs. Stuart said her husband n- formed her he had an income df $30,- 900 a year. She had heard that he has a son nearly as old as she.
 In naming Mrs. Hallenbeck, Mrs. Stuart said she would not shield the correspondent, who had stolen her husbands love, ruined her life and destroyed her happiness.
 The complaint continues:
 During the last three months I became very suspicious of my hus- bands conduct, in that he invited the correspondent to my home without my consent on a great many occasions, and while l would be in another room with my back turned I could see them caressing and loving each other In fact, l caught her openly with her arms around my husband. Such was this woman's conduct while her husband was in France as an officer fighting for his country, and who is still in France in the belief that here in this wonderful land of liberty he left a loving and true little wife, when instead she proved to be not only unfaithful but dishonest to the sanctity of her marriage VOW and dis loyal to her country.
 In Fifth Avenue Apartment.
 "On July IT I had my husband shadowed from the time he left my house in the morning until the time we forced our way into Millken's bachelor apartm ent at No. 264 Fifth avenue, Manhattan. This was apart ment Mo- 5 and consisted of one bed room, sitting room and a bathroom. It was half past ten o'clock at night My husband was there with Dorothy Hallenbeck alone. She tried to con- ceal herself in the bathroom until she was forced out. I cried out to her: Dorothy Hallenbeck, is this right? What is a married woman doing with a married man in his partners bache- Tor apartment in the night time all alone?' Surely they did not go there to say their paternoster.
 "The defendant calls himself my second husband. I lived happily with my first husband for two years, until Stuart come along, followed me all over town, pestering the life out of me, telling me what a rich man he was, that I should run away and get a divorce from my husband and that he would pay for it. Stuart induced me to go to Reading, Pa, with him, where he got me lodgings, a lawyer and paid for my divorce, even supply ing me with witnesses and paying all my expenses for the divorce" MT. Stuart entered a general denial. Mrs. Stuart applied to Justice Cal | laghan for alimony of $350 a week | and $3,O0O counsel fee. Decision was reserved.
