gone back TO early Victorian sdays
for ideas and have readopted the

housewife wore the chatelaine to
prevent her keys from getting lost,
modern Eve wears it for ornament
or at most to carry a miniature
powder puff. and lipstick.
Chatelaine girdles now being worn
are made of fine gold or silver work
chain to match the wearer's necklace
or bracelet. Imitation pearls and
colored beads are used for others,
while on some smart gowns an
imitation chatelaine is embroidered.

BROWNING DENIES
ACCUSATIONS OF
HIS YOUNG WIFE

COURT ROOM, White Plains, y
Y. Feb. 1.-Edward West Browning
today took up the charges made by
his wife, Peaches Heenan Browning
and denied them, one by one.
The grey haired millionaire sat for
an hour in the witness chair at the
trial of his separation suit and re-
piled to the ugly charges-and some
of the merely amusing ones-that
his wife had made against him. His
testimony was n study in contrasts.
One moment he was accusing Mrs.
Browning of having been his wife
III name only, throughout their mar,
ried career.
The next moment he denied with
equal emphasis that he was accus-
toned to crawling on all fours, claI
in brilliant pajamas and growing
"woof, woof" or anything like that
He told the court he never had
been drunk in his life.
He denied he ever threatened to
kill his wife.
He became excited, his eyes
flashed and he arose from his chair
shouting "It's n lie,' when asked
repellant questions with regard to
his treatment of his foster daughter
10 year old Dorothy Sunshine.
Browning at times was n conpos-
ed witness; at other times he would
laugh; again he would become ex-
cited and fairly shout his denials,
and his lawyers drew them from him
one after another; and again his col
lar would irritate him and he would
twist and pull at it.
When he told how he had been
called TO the Heenan home when
Peaches was severely burned by acid
mvsteriously thrown, he became ten
der in his manner.
He told with much feeling, how
he had offered his own skin for
grating operation when doctors con-
sidered such a method of treatment
for Peaches burns.

At the request of the Business
Girls club which has engaged the
Masonic hall for their dance on Fri
day night I desire to express my
opinion that the building may safely
be used for this purpose.
do not consider any brick build
ing safe during heavy earthquake
shocks and the Masonic hall is no
exception. However, the unsafe con
dition Of the building seems to have
been considerably exaggerated and
while some repairs to the walls Of
the building are planned / see no
reason why the dance may not be
safely held. I see no danger except
in tho ease of heavy shock which
is unlikely.
