WINS DIVORCE,
7 CHILDREN

Washington's parallel to the
Gloria Vanderbilt case was set
tied yesterday when Col. Snow
den Fahnestock, military hero and
social leader, was granted abSo-
lutte divorce from Mrs. Helen
Morgan FahneStock at Newport,
r. l., on grounds Of desertion.
Neither principal was in court.
1t was the final action in a
year.long fight for dissolution of
the union and custody of their
two children, Mary Lee, 7, and
Clara, 6, who have been given
into the custody of their father.
Cruelty Charged
Mrs. Fahnestock, a great-grand-
daughter of Mathew Morgan,
founder of the banking house of
Mathew Morgan & Sons, started
divorce proceedings last Novem-
bert, charging extreme cruelty.
Colonel Fahnestock, in his reply,
charged esertion, extreme
cruelty, and gross miSbehavior.
Early in 1885, the colonel, who
was second in command of the
famed Lost Battalion" in the
World War, seized the two chill
dren from a train in Union Sta
ton, where with a governesS, they
were about to depart for Newport,
where their mother had gone to
the home of her father, Charles
Morgan.
Mrs. FahneStock thereupon
Swore out a writ of habeaS corpus
and beseiged Col. Fahnestock at
the great mansion of his mother,
Mrs. Gibson FahneStock. For two
days deputies tried unSuccesSfully
to serve the writ. Finally the
colonel acceded, and appeared be-
fore Justice F. Dickinson Let's, in
tie D. c. Supreme Court, where
the original divorce proceedings
had been filed.
Given $4,000 Yearly
He charged his wife with hav-
Ing become acquainted with a
certain man of prominence" in
August, 1884, and said that their
married life had been wrecked on
that account.
His wife. who ne said he was
given $4,000 year for her
household expenses, lost interest
in her home thereafter, he
charged, and was not fit to keep
the children.
Justice Let's approved his plea
and gave Colonel FahneStock
absolute custody, but restricted
residence to the District.
In May of this year, however,
the judge granted Colonel Fab
nestock permission to move the
children to Newport, where Colo
mel Fahnestock said he intended
to make his permanent home.

While Robert StolZ has written
few numbers that were used in

that Hollywood has an envious
eye on him. When he does sue

musical settings, at least one pro-
ducer will be able to turn out
movies that will have refreshingly
new music.
Mr.. Stolz has several other muSi-

cations point toward long run

SAINT Overture" BY Fr. Won SupPe.
mend a metal clarinet of a good
grade as it will stand more abuse
than a wooden instrument. While
there are a few die-hards among
clarinet players that still insist
that a wooden clarinet will pro-
duce a better tone than a metal
clarinet, they are rapidly dimin-
iShing in number.
The old superstition that the
material of which a wind instru-
ment is made has anything to do
with the tone is fallacy that the
light of science and experience
will easily dispel if the truth is
faced. OF course a metal clarinet
as well as a wooden one may be
made with the wind passages
wrongly proportioned and the
holes improperly spaced, in which
case either instrument would be
equally bad.
Some of the best known sym.
phony orchestra conductors have
listened to the successive tones of
both wooden and metal clarinets
played behind a screen, and these
most sensitive ears have never
able to tell the difference. Clari.
net players in the Boston SYM
phony Orchestra, the Philadel-
phia Symphony Orchestra and the
National Symphony Orchestra use
metal clarinets. This should be
sufficient proof of the tonal quail
ity of metal clarinets. Orchestra
conductors such as StokowSki,
KousSevitsky, and Kinder would
not permit an inferior clarinet to
remain in the ensemble.
Flute and PiccoIo
Old customs and ideas are hard
to replace. A parallel case is to
be found in the history of the
flute and piccolo. At the turn of
the century old flute players in
sisted that no metal flute could
produce the quality of tone that
the wooden ones could. Suffice ii
to say that now one can scarcely
find player using a wooden flute
The oboe is now appearing in
