yesterday to decide whether they can
rekindle the embers OF love.
Mrs. Stevens's suit for separation

ment until October 25 for rcconciliatory
negotiations. Mrs. Stevens was Alice

the founder of Stevens Institute in
Hobokep.
Mrs. Stevens said that before the

differences with her husband and that
his reply was an offer of $500 for his
freedom. She added:
'One night my husband woke up and
said he wanted a six months vacation
from marriage. He first drank a cock
tail. / had also drunk. but not as much
as he. ] was tired and wanted to 70 to
sleep. but he said: You are q milestone
