Though She Seeks Divorce, He
 LauQS Her Yaliantly

Paris. July 21 LP = The first hearing of suit for divorce brought by Doris Stevens. woman suffrage leader. against Dudley Field Malone. lawyer. was held to- day before the court tribunal of the Seine department.
 Only a week ago Miss Stevens denied that she had filed suit against her husband.
 At the conclusion of the hearing, Mir. Malone said:
 Tn answer to published false statements, I wish to state une- quivocally that my wife has never asked for alimony and therefore I have never refused her alimony, since neither of us believes in the principle upon which alimony is based.
 My wife is splendid woman. She has the most extra ordinary mind ever came in contact with . and know that her life will be filled with great happiness and distinguished achievements" r.
 Mir. Malone declined to comment further on the case. but it was learned from friends of both per sons that they decided year ago that they were unable to get along together because they felt that each had so positive a mind.
 Malone. who is especially known as his work as divorce lawyer. was served with the papers in the suit while away on vacation in French counsel.
 Miss Stevens denial that she was going to ask for divorce is ex- plained by friends as proof that she was undecided up to the last mo- mert about taking the step.-
