LITTLE BLACK BOOK
HELPS MRS. STOKES
ON WITNESS STAND
Used by Her to Refute TeSti-
mony as to Alleged Visit to
Wallace'S Room.
REFUSED SPECIAL MEAL.
Says Stokes Ordered Cook
Not to Prepare 1t When He
Was Peeved.

A little black book" was much IN
evidence to-day in the stokes divorce
trial. In this case It was Mr.. w. f.
d Stokess intimate diary for the year
l9l4-one Of series Of volumes be-
cause IT has been her habit since
girlhood to keep a journal.
Against the repeated objections Of
Mr. Stokes's counsel, Justice Finch
permitted Mrs. Stokes to setresh her
memory from the little black book"
as to her comings, goings and where
abouts during the month Of May,
1914.
The introduction OF the diary was
obviously for the purpose of offset
ting the testimony of Mr.. and Mrs.
Zenos Matteossian, witnesses for
Stokes who testified that late one
afternoon toward the end OF May,
1914" they had seen Mrs. Stokes in
the bedroom of Edgar Z. Wallace at
No. 13 East 35th street II was dur
ing this month according to Mrs.
Stokess test rhony that she was very
much at home as she was expecting
the birth of child early in the fol-
lowing September.
Mrs. Stokes, speaking in reference
to the entries in her diary, to which
she constantly turned, said that dur
ing this May her husband frequently
brought men guests to their apart
mcnt in the Ansonia, although, on
account of her condition, she had
asked him not to do 50.
STOKES NEVER LET HER HAVE
ANY MONEY.
She recalled a shopping journey on

Mr. stokes never let me have any

thing cooked especially for myself, AS
II wasn't very well, but Mr.. Stokes
was cross about something. perhaps
because | didn't get in until after Z
o'clock. and wouldn't let the cook pre-
pare anything for me"
1t appeared from the testimony that
Stokes left his wife much to herself
in the afternoons and evenings.
On the last day OF May, 1914, Mrs.
Stokes said, they went to the r;rces--
the day II. p. Whitney's horse
dropped dead-and afterward she
wanted him to take her somewhere
to dinner. But he refused to go
anywhere save 10 the Westchester
Club. so we went there" she added.
SERVANTS DISCHARGED FOR
KINDNESS TO HER.

Five evenings out Of seven he
spends with you.
You know that he cares, because
he never pays any attention to any
one else. And you care and you
know he must know it else you
wouldn't be spending so much time
with him.
And still the years have been drag
ging on. Each new day finds you
starting out for the office, tailored
and trim and with sort of glaze of
poised worldliness becoming more
and more a fact.
You're an efficient little machine.
But in your heart YOU hate it! You
long to have mornings of toast and
coffee in dimity negligees, with
plenty of time to admire the copper
urn and put the best dishes on.
You'd love to have some window
boxes with a lot of foolish little
green plants to coax along. You'd
like to embroider, just indulge in a
mad orgy of initiating everything
from dust cloths to his very best
linen shirts. You might even want
to crochet his ties.
You'd like it even If you couldn't
have quite so many appointments
with the hairdresser, the m~anicurist
and the tailor.
But every morning you have to
tuck all of those dreams away and
go to an Office.
And in the evening he comes and
stays until about eleven o'clock and
talks about everything but the thing
YOU want to hear and the thing you
know he wants to say.
It's dragged on, just that way. for
years.
Your youth is slipping along.
You linger on each precious day
n rather dread to see its end
because it counts one more against
the length of your possible happi-
ness.
You wonder, time and again, just
how far you could go and still hold
to your feminine charm. Could you
break hat barrier? Could you say,
Lets settle it, Jimmie-I'm earning
more than you are; I'm dressing
pretty well-but there are other
things that count?
Could you tell him about the win
dow boxes and the initials and the
dreams you had SO Rugged to your
heart?
Could you-and lose none Of your
feminine charm?
You could, and you should. Be
cause the world is too full of women
who have spent five years dreaming
of window boxes and initials because
of some one mainland then van
ished the dream every morning for

Astrologers read this as rather a
threatening day, for Saturn, Nep-
tune and Mercury r all adverse,
| while Uranus alone is in benefic as
pect.
The evening should be a favorable
time to begin journeys and travel
by airplane is especially well gov
erned by the stars.
Farmers may face some condition
that is extremely discouraging at
this beginning of the autumn, but
they are to benefit later.
Newspaper may present rather
pessimistic views on subjects of
| prime Importance to the welfare of
the people, but they will accomplish
much by arousing public opinion.
Neptune is in an aspect supposed
to reduce the average stock of COM
mon ms and many persons will do
foolish things.
Madness in many incipient forms
will reveal itself and persons should
not indulge themselves eccentricities
Saturn warns of dangers in dark
places. Crimes of violence commit
ted by stealth will be prevalent.
Storms at sea before the end of
tho month will prevail and there is
the forecast of a shipwreck this au-
tumn.
Writers may experience rather a
difficult period for the marketing of
their wares, but a new author will
make a great fortune.
This is a sway peculiarly favora-
BILE to psychic investigation or to
occult experiences .
While the stars have been less
helpful to exploration in the unseen
world than they were during the
war, scientific discoveries will prove
many astonishing facts.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have rather a puzzling and ~exacting
year. Change or travel~may be ben
eficial.
Children born on this day may
be careless and inclined to extrava-
gance, but these subjects of Virgo
should be talented and successful, If
carefully trained and educated.

DO YOU WANT
A PRETTY ROOM?

Do make the most of the posi-
biiities of your bedrooms!
Such a charming effect is given
by the matching of bedspread, cur
tains, scarfs and lamp shades with
a touch of pretty hand embroidery.
Silk or cotton crepe, in floral or
fruit design, appliqued, are wonder
fully pretty and require only a little
time and a little taste. Just a sin

A few artificial flowers, bright and
colorful, are a lovely touch for win

Some cushions with ~tassels, these
preferably in light taffeta and some

pretty for a bed room and quite a
welcome change from the cornered

HOW TO TAKE CARE

Heat is an enemy OF leather. 1t
is particularly destructive to patent
leather, but it robs any sort or
leather Of it's vitality SO that it be-
comes brittle.
So. when your shoes are wet with
fall rains don't put them close to
the fire. For as surely as they are
close enough to the fire to give the
characteristic odor of leather. they
are being singed.
Rubber over shoes should pot be
worn any more thar is necessary
because they tend to hold the ami
nal heat and thus injure the shoes.
If your shoes are wet put them
in a warm room, in a draught of air
if possible and fill them with
crumpled newspapers.
Wet shoes that have become stiff
can be softened nicely with castor
oil which is quite as warm as the
fingers can comfortably stand. APP

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

II one would have a Halloween
party with an expenditure of about
$3.50 here is the way to do 1t. Make
your own pumpkin pie and dough-
nuts and serve them with hot cof-
fee and sweet cider. This is a time
honored combination that never loses
it's appeal. Use originality in the
way of serving if the demand for
something different" must be sat-
isfied.
If the party be IL, figure in this
fashion: one gallon of cidar should
serve eight persons, SO and one-half
gallon should serve IL, but to be on
the safe side provide two gallons of
cidar. One u of coffee will make
twelve cups of the beverage. This
should be enough since another
drink is being served. One eight
inch pie cuts in six pieces. so bake
two pies. Figure on two dough-
nuts per person.
Pumpkin Pie
Three cups stewed pumpkin, two
cups brown sugar, 1 teaspoon gin
ger. 1 teaspoon salt, 5 eggs, 6 cups
milk, 6 tablespoons melted butter,
pie crust.
Choose a medium sized pumpkin.
Cut in strips convenient for pairing.
Remove seeds and pare off thick
yellow shell. Cut in dice. Put in
a big kettle with one cup of cold
water. An iron kettle is best. Cover
and bring to the boiling point. Watch
and stir to prevent burning. Cook
the pumpkin very slowly three or
four hours until dry. After the
pumpkin is tender remove cover.
This allows the steam to escape.
When dry rub through colander or
put through potato ricer. Mix sugar,
ginger and salt with sifted pumpkin.
More spices may be added but the
pie is really better if not heavy with
spice. Add eggs slightly beaten to
first mixture. Add melted butter
and milk, mix thoroughly and pour
into pie dishes lined with pie crust
and bake from As minutes to an
hour in a moderate oven. This rule
will make three eight-inch pies.
Doughnuts
One cup sugar, 3 tablespoons of
melted butter, 2 eggs, 1 cup sour
milk, 1 teaspoon soda. 4 cups flour.
1 teaspoon salt, II teaspoon nutmeg.
Cream butter and sugar. Add
eggs well beaten. Add sour milk
with soda dissolved in it. Add flour,
salt n nutmeg. MIX thoroughly
and add a little more flour if neces-
sary to roll. Roll on a well Toured
board and cut in rings and fry in
deep fat hot enough to make an inch
cube of bread from the soft part of
the loaf a golden brown in one min
ute. When the doughnuts are
brown on one side turn and brown
on the other. If the fat is kept at
this temperature the doughnuts will
not soak fat. Drain on brown paper
and roll in powdered sugar.

which are not too dark.
Milk is another simple remedy for
tan. If there isn't any good cold
cream near. take a. soft cloth or your
own soft hands and go over your
neck with fresh milk. Leave it on
for fifteen or twenty minutes and
then wash it off with pure, luke
warm water.
A paste, which a be made at
home and which results in a lovely,
white, velvety skin, is one of cucum-
bers, our cream and oatmeal. Mix
one finely grated cucumber with
one-half cup of thick sour cream
and just enough oatmeal to form a
paste which can be handled.
The paste should be put on quite
thickly and left for three-quarters
of an hour or more.
