ARDENT PASSAGES IN HBR
LETTERS TO HUSBAND.
On June 5. 1912. according to letters
introduced during the divorce pro-
esedinss, Adds Hubbard Snow wrote
to Chester A. snow. Dear incest man
In the world" Under date Of July
20. she wrote. "oh. how ] hate bust

Mrs. Snow displayed little emotion

almost susters dignity and answered
the questiens put to her by the at
torneys. one hardly could imagine this I
she was the same woman who only
few short years ago had written
gushing love letters to the millionaire
patent attorney.
There Is nothing particularly youth
full in the appearance Of Mrs. Snow.
The casual observer. viewing her As
she sat opposite her husband in the
court room, probably would have
noticed no mark Of disparity between
the ages Of herself and her husband.
DIGNITY MARKS APPEARANCE
OF WIFE IN COURT.
Mrs. Snow 10 only forty-three. But
her hair Is quite gray, and she has
a rather ample, matronly ngure which
accentuates her age rather than her
lack OF years. She may be said to
possess equally as much dignity as
her husband.
In court Friday she was gowned in
q closely-ntting brown tricolstte gown.
with white collar and Guns. and
white hat.
The chestsrneIdian attitude OF Mr..
Snow was rather emphasized by a
white linen suit, immaculate white
shirt, and shoes. Nothing OF his
seventy-six years was betrayed In
his step when he walked to-. the
witness stand. nor In his attitude
while hes occupied It. His hair and
moustaehe are quite white. but his
eyes are As clear as those OF q man
o( ,4Hddle life and his beating and
manner show no signs of age.
Born ~ London July 20. 1914. In
the shadow of the great war, little
Dexter Hubbard Snow has had \ most
eventful life.
He is described by his father as a
most intelligent child, and by physi-
cianst who have examined him as "a
most precocious child" He and Chss-
ter A. SNOW, H., the son Of Mr. snow
by hts second wife, are the only d.
rect heirs to the estate Of Chester A.
Snow. sr.. said to be valued at be-
tween one and two million dollars.
LITTLE DEXTER SNOW ALWAYS
ACCOMPANIED ny NURSE.
Because he has all this money COM
ing to him, and because OF the court
proceedings 1t has brought. little
Dexter Hubbard Snow isn't allowed the
liberty that other children have. AL
ways on Sundays, when he goes to his
fathers farm, he must be accom-
panied by a nurse.
Even while the little fellow accom-
panies his father about the farm and
rides the ponies and swings in the
swing, the nurse hovers near.
Will the money which little Dexter
will inherit bring to him more happi-
ness than 1t has brought to his
father?
Chester A. Snow, sr., says money
cannot bring happiness. 1t has never
brought happiness to him, he says.
And doubtless little Dexter Hubbard
Snow. when he Is being 30 closely
guarded at play. would feel the same
way about it II he knew what it was
all about.
