w H Y
Is a Divorce Called a
"Grass-Widow?"

This term-which, in America, is
bestowed either upon divorcee or
upon a wife who is separated from
her husband, but in England is used
to designate discarded mistress or
an unmarried mothers claimed by
some to have been derived from
"grace-widow." meaning woman
who is a widow by grace or by
courtesy but not by fact.
While plausible, this explanation
is not the true one. The term start
ed with the colloquial rural express
sion in England of "grass-mare,"
meaning horse which has been
turned out to pasture. At first, even
on the other side of the Atlantic,
"grass-widow"s bore no reproach, be-
ing applied to any woman who was
living apart from her husband. Thus
the wives of army officers or naval
captains were known as grass
widows" during the time their hus-
bands were absent from home. I'M
til the term finally fell into disre-
pute. Before this occurred, however,
it had been imported into the United
States, and first came into general
use at the time of the California
gold strike in 1849, when many wives
were left at home while their hus-
bands sought wealth in the West.

man When He Reaches
New York.

Montreal, May l2.--Aroused by
the publication OF the Dearest
Honey" letters he is charged with
having written 10 Mrs. Fiji" Still
man, wife of the ex-presidcnt Of the
National City bank, Fred X. Beau
vais said that when he appears in
New York he will clear his name
and that of Mrs. Stillman. He said
lie will prove the letters were forg-
cries and the testimony was bogus" "
lie also promises numerous sur
prises."
Beauvais said he kept carbon
copies OF letters he wrote to Mrs.
Stillman during his employment by
her at the Grand Anse camp. He
said the published letters we're re-
written by the alleged forger, the
latter in some cases making clever
use of the contents of the originals,
distorting them to suit his purposes.
The signature Fred was copied
from one of his checks, 3eauvais
Said.
Mrs. Stillman was known to be de-
voted to poetry and frequently wrote
verses herself. Often, Beauvais
said, she wrote asking the mean
ing Of all Indian phrase and its
adaptibility to the theme she had in
mind.
In my infrequent letters | would
explain what these terms meant" he
said. Indian words 'acquerie' ap-
pear in Hawai- and other Indian
lore. 1t means heart of a flower
in lroquois and it was employed by
my father in describing Mrs. Still
man. My father is a good man and
surely there was nothing wrong in
his use Of the expression"
To Call MRS. Leeds"
New York. May ll.-"Mrs. Flor
cnee II. Leeds named as core
spondent by Mrs. Anne Urquhart
Stillman in her amended answer to
the complaint OF her husband. James
a. Stillman, is to be called as a
witness by the defense. Process
servers already are scouting through
Connecticut in quest of Mrs.
Leeds those engaged IN the
search for the former chorus girl
are convinced she is in Connecti-
cut town not more than 100 miles
from New York City. Rumor has
it that she may be found in South
port, Conn.
If the process servers should sue
cced in serving "Mrs. Leeds" she
will be required to appear at the
first hearing at which the defense
begins to put in its testimony. In
the event that the defense should
succeed in having Mrs. Leeds pro-
duced as witness, the attorneys
for Mrs. Stillman will also endeavor
to have in the court room at the
same time James A. Stillman, Mrs.
Stillman and Guy, youngest child of
Mrs. Stillman, whose legitimacy is
assailed in the action. 1t is probable
this dramatic ensemble of all the
principals in the domestic tangle
will be effected through the fight
that is now being waged by Mrs.
Stillnan.

Romance in Origin
OF Supershhons
BY H. IRVING KING.
Peep-Toads.

TSCp- OduS.
"Peep-toads' are those young
frogs who, in the early spring set
up their CHEEKY peep" from marshy
places And whatever you are do
ing when you first hear them peep
in the spring that will you be doing
a year from that day. Or, as the
superstition is in most places. that
will you do many times over i'll the
course of the coming year.
Here again we have superstition
which is an echo OF the mysteries Of
the Nile coming down through the
ages and through those nations, civ
ilized and barbarous, which founded
their mythology upon that OF an
cient Egypt. ..
In Egyptian mythology the frog
was the symbol of Ptah. god OF the
creative force not solar. But the
superstition under consideration
comes from the fact that in the
Egyptian heiroglyphics the frog
represented 100000, or any immense
number" 1t signihed the repetition
of a thing, or an act, over and over
again.
Therefore, when the farmers wife
who happens to be washing dishes
when she first hears the peep-toads
in the spring exclaims: There! !
suppose | shall do nothing but wash
dishes the rest OF the year." it is,
all unknown to herself. the little
frog carved on the obelisks OF Luxor
that is peeping to her.

Peace Action in
Ireland Likely.
After Election
Conferences Between Sim
Fein Leaders and British
Government Proceeding
Without Interruption.
BY JOHN STEELE.
Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright, 19s

NbiCdBV SuDlcp SOpSIiButs
London, May 12.-Conferences are
proceeding without interruption be-
tween representatives of the British
government and Sim Fein leaders
which will probably result in some
definite action toward peace after
the elections at the end of the month.
Difficulties, however. have arisen over
the fact that the men chosen to rep
resent the Sim Fein are chiefly
theorists and idealists without prac-
tical experience in the problems OF
government economics and finance.
The British expressed their will
ingness to grant full control of taxa
ton, including customs and excises.
and the Irish representatives got SO
| far as to discuss details with the
British experts. The British were
astounded when it was seriously pro-
posed that ireland receive all taxa
ton on Guinness stout, which is pro-
duced in Ireland, no matter where
it is sold. A great majority of this
product is sold in England and
abroad and such scheme would. be
impossible of realization. When il
was pointed out that if such action
were taken, foreigners would be sure
to place an additional tax, thus
| placing the Irish product at a dis
advantage in the market. the Irish
could not see it and insisted on their
| demand.
The practical element in the Sim
Fein has begun to realize the weak
ness in its directorate and efforts
are now being made to organize a
group of financier and business men
who will be able to meet the British
on equal terms to work practical
scheme in detail. Much is hoped in
this direction from cooperation with
the north.
| Sir James Craig is determined to
continue efforts to reconcile the north
and south and he is willing to risk his
political life if this end can be &C.
complished.
An important series OF discussions
has been arranged to take place dur.
ing the next few days between the
various Gets OF representatives with
the object of prep:ring the way fol
definite action after the elections.

ment; and then he exclaimed: Il
have it! You must bite off your
own leg"
But Peter Mink proved hard
one to please.
You don't understandp he said,
IF | lose leg | know | never
could get Mr.. Snowy Owl out of the
valley"
At that Grumpy Weasel lost his
temper completely. With cry OF
rage he sprang at his cousin, Peter
Mink, prisoner though he was. And
Grumpy would have buried his white
teeth in him except for just one
thing. As he lcaped forward Peter
Mink leaped backward. And in that
moment Peter freed himself. He
had been caught only by the merest
tip of toe, anyhow. And now he
crouched with his back against the
bank of the brook, facing Grumpy
Weasel with mouth wide open. His
meekness had dropped off him like
an old coat, And Grumpy Weasel
knew better than to get within his
reach. In fact, he turned polite
himself all at once.
There" he said. Il got you out
of the trap, as | had planned to all
the time. | knew that if / could
make you jump you'd pull your foot
loose"
Well. Peter Mink hardly believed
that But he thought there was no
use of saying SO.
He was glad enough to escape
Farmer Green's hired mans trap
without having dispute over the
way it happened.
u hope you'll keep your prom
ise," Grumpy told Peter Mink. "If
Mr.. Snowy Owl doesn't leave these
parts by April Fools Day / won't
like it very we'll. You know you
agreed to get him away from here
by that time"
"Oh! He'll be gone by then said
Peter Mink lightly. "He always
leaves at the end OF the winter, be-
cause he spends his summers in the
far north"
When he heard that, Grumpy
Weasel was angry as anything.
"Then Mr.. Owl is likely to be
back here next fall" he said quickly.
Il dare say" Peter Mink admitted
carelessly.
Grumpy Weasel backed cautiously
away before he said another word.
But when he had whisked into a
great willow that leaned over Broad
Brook he told his cousin what he
thought about him.
As for Peter Mink-he was nurs-
ing his injured paw Gn his mouthD
and he said never a word.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
Bv MILDRED MARSHALL.

The coral is the talisnlanic gem
for today and is potent in driving
away the evil influences which are
believed by some to rule this COM
bination of the day of the week and
tn month. The ancients believed
that the coral drove away both i'll
ness and bad luck, and that he who
wore an unbroken piece of it would
successfully resist contagion
Today's natal stone is the ame-
thyst, which is said to protect its
owner from physical and mental
danger. The amethyst should be
worn by those who are inclined to
be too impulsive, since it counterac.s
this tendency.
White, sacred to the moon god
dess. should be worn today. 1t IS
symbolic of purity.
The yellow rose is today's flower,
and is symbolic of true friendship.
