patients of her healer husband by Mrs. Minnie c. Englehardt, who is but 20 years of age herself Mrs. Englehardt alleges her husband kept kimonos of various hues for his clients to wear while receiving treatments from him, and that he "tried to turn my home into a harem.'' She declares her husband acted as a veritable Hove magnet on his patients, large numbers or whom succumbed to his irresistible charms.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Eighty-two years old and correspondent in a divorce case!
 Well, of course, we can't all become U. s. Senators after eighty But after all, the distinction Whtch has befallen Mrs. H, J. Brayton, ot Providence, R. l., isn't anything she can really get conoelted about. There are 121 others 50 named in the divorce case of Mrs. Minnie Colwell Englehardt, aged 20, against her Hove magnet" husband, Dr. Adolph Englehardt The 122 rivals were so created through being "pa- tients" of the healer. He has been engineering a spiritual contest, ap- parently, which his wife describes as "negligee religion" She believes it has covered a multitude of sins. At least it offered an allembrac- l ing divine love emanating from the founder, Dr. Englehardt, familiarly known as the Hove magnet" The Sunday-go to-meeting devotional gar
 ments of his folk were kimonos, his l Lavender souled" wife asserts. l Those PenitentiaI Robes
 He tried to turn my home into a harem!" she cries.
 We would like to ask what the lady means by "tried.' Can she not appreciate success?
 1 We should think Mrs. Englehardt
 would be exhausted from jealousy. She told the court that the mag |net's divine cures were not so good
 when she was about the premises and that the soul shades of the
 penitential robes hanging about his
 "office" got her optic nerves.
 If we were Mrs. Englehardt we
 should pull out several handfuls ot
 gray haid. Besides the 82year-old
 correspondent there is flapper of
 75 and two sub-debs of 65, the kind
 you just cant hold back.
 Englehardt liked them younger
 when he fell in love with the lady
 who is now his wife. She was just
 sixteen, high school student. It
 was love at first sight. Her parents
 had been caught by one of Engle-
 hardt's "ads' in papers and were
 charmed with his healing claims Daughter Minnie and her parents became patients.
 In those days Englehardt was Dr Adolph von Henri, and it was under that name that he was interned dur ing the war at Fort Oglethorpe Georgia, as an enemy alien. Al his patients went to the train tc kiss him goodbye, his wife states When he regained his liberty he took the name by which he is now known. On January 24, 1920, he got married.
 His subsequent conduct led Mrs I Englehardt to sue for divorce, charg | ing non-support, gross misbehaVlol and wickedness, "in that he had as socated with women for immora purposes" and extreme cruelty. She \ says:
 t What Wife Charges | q got tired of seeing women flock a to him day and night. And I noticed ! his cures were not so good when | was around
 | He certainly mesmerized the wo men, Young or old, it made nc difference. And, furthermore, he is not an ordained minister. He used religious meetings as a cloak fol his divine healing seance. He kept a closet of multi-hued lyinonOc for hic wpman DatiantS that would put any lingerie store to shame. He had colors for different
 types.
 "Oh he could certainly hoodwink
 us women!"
