Efforts of Wife
To Save Stillman
Proved Useless
Attcmpts to Win Back Nov
York Banker Served to
Speed Up Divorce
Action.
Jy A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
.hliafu Trthuno-Oniaha lr l.ruwil litre.
acw l orn, .Marcii .v. mth. james
A.- Stillman was pictured today in
the role of a wronged wile who
then tried devotedly to save him
from hirnsclf and the other woman!
They wife's earnest efforts to win
Iier husband bark from Mrs. 'Flor
ence H. Leeds are reported to have
speeded up Mr. S.illmnn's action for
an absolute divorce.
. It was not until today that it be
came known that Mrs. Stillman, bad,
in fact, made a vigorous fight to
"save" her husband. This effort im
mediately preceded the final break
between the president of the Na
tional City bank and the former
"Fifi" Totter. Mrs. Stillman ap
parently overplayed her hand in try
ing to get her husband to accom
pany litr to Europe for an extended
stay.
Two reasons, according to the
rorrespondent's informant, prompted
Mrs. Stillman's desire to have her
husband arcompany her overseas.
First, she wished to take a prominent
part in the reconstruction of war
torn Europe. .Secondly, and seem
ingly me impelling motive, was a
desire to halt whispers in society
concerning "another woman."
Resented Efforts.
"Stillman heard of the efforts his
wife was making," ft was said today,
" and bitterly resented them, lie
took the ground that his yife had no
right to interfere in his business'
plans and he was vigorous in his re-"
ft'sal to go.
"Stillman U'9s nhrlnrati nnrt wltpu
Mrs. Stillman persisted, he broke
with her. Mr. Stillman took the first
step to end their relations."
The disclosure concerning this
phase of the suit had it that Mrs.
Stillman was informed of the exist
ence of "Mrs. Florence H. Leeds,"
the Century rhorus girl, and after
'she had investigated, began a cam
paign to end the infatuation. She en
listed prominent social friends of her
husband and sought the aid of her
own. 1 She conducted what was
termed "propaganda" to influence
the banker to go to London and
Paris as the representative of his
bank in overseas finance. ' ,
Directors and other officials of the
National City institution were ap
proached "adroitly" by Mrsv Still
man. Apparently the pressure from
all sides to cause him to leave New
York city for an extended trip to the
other side aroused the suspicions of
he bank president for he' was re
ported as facing his wife one after
ro(Mi in their big country home at
Pieasantville, N. Y., near the Rocke
feller estate, and charging her point
blank with being back of the move.
Compromise Reached.
What turn the conversation took
i unascertainable. Its result, how
ever, was the departure of Mr. Still
man for New York City and his
non-return to date to. the Pieasant
ville estate.
Then came some sort of compro
mise. . This agreement, it was said,
was for Mrs. Stillman to sue for
divorce. Tt was said there had been
an agreement for $1,500,000 lump ali
mony. v In this connection the banker-was
described fascinated by Mrs. Leeds
and was represented as eager j
marry her.
While he plan for Mrs. Stillman
to sue was in progress, however, the
banker brought his charges naming
Fred Beauvais half-breed Indian
rnir1i ii rnrMnnnrtf nt and ntiestio!-
ing the paternity of Guy Stillman.
There is great interest at this
time, as to what further revelation
will be made Wednesday when at
torneys for botji sides will appear at
White Plains to argue on Mrs. Still
man's motion for alimony and coun
sel fees. Will the hearing be con
fined to prosy discussions of finan
cial affairs, or will the attorneys for
either side take advantage of the
occasion to demand or introduce
more papers and photographs, tell-
ing more of the intimate details of
the charges and counter charges
that have made the Stillman case an
international sens.yion?

THE TAL E OF
TOMMY FOX
J.BY ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY
CHAPTER II.
Johnnie Green Goes Hunting.
When Tommy Fox discovered old
Mother Grouse crouched beneath the
evergreen tree he grew ' hungrier
than evir. And he decided that he
would catch Mrs. Grouse and eat her
on the spot,
Tommy had never caught a grous.
Qut'his mother had brought home
some of jold Mother Grouse's rela
tions. for him to eat, .and Tommy
knew nothing that tasted any bettjr.
He thought . that old Mother
Grouse must be sleeping, she was so
still, And heHdid hot mean to wake
her if he could help it at least, not
until he had caught hcr.'S Tom
my flattened himself , out on his
stomach and began to creep towards
her, very slowly and very carefully.
He. didn't make the slightest noise.
And soon he had stolen so close to
old Mother Grouse that he was just
about to spring up and rush -upon
her. Then all at once there was the
most terrible, noise. It was almost
as loud as thunder, and it seemed to
Tommy that the ground was rising
Jt was lucky for Tommy Fox tbat

right up in front of him. He was
so startled that he fell over back-s
ward. And his heart thumped and
pounded against his ribs.
The next moment Tommy Fox felt
very - sheepish, for he.realized that
the noise was nothing.but the beat
ing of old Mother Grouse's wings
against the air.; And instead of the
ground rising, it was old Mother
Grouse herself -fho Md jumped up
and sailed awjay." She nadn't been
asleep. She fiad "een him all the

WHY-
Is Red the Symbol of Danger?
It is not just by chance or through
custom that red is the color used
for flags, Rights and other signs
which indicate the presence of dan
ger. Red has been definitely chosen
for the purpose because it is more
conspicuous and. can be seen at a
greater distance : than any other
color. . V , ",
Many other colors such as blue,
lgray. brown, green and vellow
j have a tendency to merge into their
surroundings and t is for this rea
son hat the uniforms of other days,
when mefi did a considerable amount
of forest fighting, weri green; while
khaki, practically invisible at a com
paratively short distance, is the ac
cepted uniform color' today. Red,
on the other hand,, U always dis
tinctly red, and stands out prom
inently against almost ' any back
ground. White and' green: are also
easily distinguished, but white would
be impossible as a precautionary
sign, and green is", handicapped by
the great use which nature makes
of this shade.
Given lamps of air equal strength,
fitted with colored lenses, scientists
have found that where the red light
can be clearly- distinguished at a
distance of three and half miles,
white and green' carfjr only two and
a half, yellow one mile, and blue,
purple and violet lessr than a mile.

off and sat there and looked down
at Tommy Fox arid chuckled to her
helf. She knew that she was per
fectly safe. And, though Tommy
Fox trotted up to the tree where she
sat and stared longingly up at her,
she wasn't the least bit worried. For
she knew quite well that Tommy
couldn't climb a tree. ' v
Tommy felt very peevish. He was
so hungryV And he couldn't, help
thinking hW good old Mother
Grouse would, have tasted. lie
couldn't reachJjer now. But still
he didn't go along toward home. He
jimply couldn't keep his greedy eyes
off fat old Mother Grouset And he
squatted down beside a bush and
started at her.
Old Mother Grouse didn't mind
that. She stared back at Tommy
Fox, and she didn't 'say a word to
him, which somehow made Tommy
still more peevish. -
How long Tommy would have
stayed there it would be hard to tell.
But in a little while something hap
pened that sent him home on the
run. If Mrs. Grouse and Tommy
had been looking out as sharply as
they generally did Farmer Green's
boy never could have crept up so
close to them. But they were so
busy staring at each other that they
never saw Farmer Green's boy at all.
Now Johnnie Green had his gun
with him, for he was hunting grouse.
He did not see Tommy Fox at all,
because Tommy was hidden behind
the bush. But Johnnie Green saw
old Mother Grouse, and almost as
soon as he saw her he fired.-
The old hotgun made a rremen
dous roar. The woods rang, and
echoed with the noise. And Tommy
Fox saw a cloud of feathers float
down from the limb where old
Mother Grouse had been sitting. But
Old Mother Grouse herself flew
atfwy. The shot had knocked out
some of her tail feathers, but hadn't
hurt her at all.
It all happened very quickly. And
Tommy Fox felt himself leaping
high in the air. He was so fright
ened that he ran and ran, and ran
faster than he 'had ever run before
in all his rather short life.
Johnpie Green saw him run. But
his gun wasn't loaded now. and he
couldn't shoot. And he didn't have
his dog with him either. It was
lucky for Tommy Fox that there
was no dog there. For Tommy was
so scared that he forgot all about
jumping sideways and running in cir
cles, as his mother had taught him.
He just ran straight for his home in
the middle of the big field, and when
he got there he scurried through the
door and , scampered inside, and he
never came out again all that day.

' 2. Why is it usual to bow . the
head at the mention of the name

5. Why was John the Baptist
reared as a Nazarite?
. Why did Jesus and John the
Bap'tistldefer the commencement of
their public ministry until they were
30 years of age? s
Answers.
1. Because as her divine Son had
submitted to the Mosaical law of
circuflicison, she would equally sub
ject to the law of purification.
2. Because Of the interpretation of
Philippians II 10, "At the name of
Jesus every knee should bow,, of
things 'in heaven, ol things in earth,
and of things under the earth."
3. Simeon, a pious man in Jerusa
lem, had waited for "the consolation
of Israel," that is the coming of the
Messiah, and it had been revealed
to him that ere he died his eyes
should be gladdened by a sight of
Him.
4. Because it was the custom for
a child, when making his first visit
to Jerusalem, to-be accompanied by
his mother.
5. Because that was the strictest
order among the" Jews, enabling the
recipient of its obligations to livea
more retired life, and one conse
quently less liable to distractions;
and so was a means of preparing
him as a minister to preach to the
Jews. -
6. Because they thereby followed
the regulation of the Jewish law.
Although neither were properly sub
ject to that law, they scrupulously
observed precepts on all occasions.

By JAMES J.
Nothing to Cheer Up Qycr
Now that we lead the . Larger Life,
And lovely woman has her innings,
A learned judge declares a wife

The wife, he tell us, earns the right
By helping bear her husband's burdens,
When' he's been gambling half the night,
i To frisk him of the golden, guerdons.
Too much discretion we have got x
To treat this dictum with derision,
And yet we hope that wives will not
Place too much faith on his decision.
It may be fair, it may be just,
It may be law we'll no deny it
Yet wives won't be deceived, we, trust,
And think they're going to profit by it.
For we ourselves, in days of old, t
Of our untrammeled choice decided
To give our spouse one-half the gold
Our boasted skill at Draw provided.
We held that, she, who shared our name.
And ftept our pipe and slippers handy
Should have a hat from every game,
Or, anyway, a box of candy.

For better luck, we sort of fear
That she will wait for them foreverl

' Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
$yfH. IRVING KING.
Funeral Processions. .
More people today are deterred
from passing through a funeral
procession by the superstition that it
brings "bad luck" possibly death
to do so, than are restrained by the
ethics of the case. Frequently, -when
in a crowded street the carriages of
a funeral procession become . so
separated that there is ample space
and time to cross between-. -thern,
numbers of people may be seen wait
ing on the sidewalk until the whote
procession shall have passed, re
strained only by theold superstition.
And many a man who would em
phatically deny that he. "toot any
stock" in the superstition, andewas
kept from crossing only by a sense of
decency, would, nevertheless, upon
finding that he had ihadventantly
passed through a funeral pVocession,
feel a sense of uneasiness.
This superstition is atitieht enough
and survives from the classic days of
Greece and Rome when the funeral
procession was a sacred rite with a
prescribed ritual, to disturb which
was an act of sacrilege, an offense
against the gods which they would
not fail to avenge. For while the
break which now sometimes occurs
in the line of carriages or motor cars
iri a modern funeral procession in a
city street may afford a chance to
pass through without offending, even
against propriety, one of the cons
pact, well organized funeral proces
sions of the Grecians or Romans
could not be passed through without
disorganizing it and thus offending
the immortal gods.- It is a survival
from the days of "the glory that was
Greece and the grandeur that was
Rome"' that makes a man today re
gard it as "bad luck" to pass through
a funeral procession. -

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
Hie Hindus believed that one who
wore today's talismanic stone, the
ruby, could inspire love "in others
without himself feeling it for them.
It is said to bring good luck in real
love affairs, but to expose instantly
the. counterfeit of real devotion. The
ruby, according to the Orientals, is
the stone of invulnerability.
The sorpentine, today's natal stone,
was credited by the Italian peasants
cf -olden times with the power to
draw poison from a wound, if the
gem used had not been cut by the
hand of man. They also credited it
with the power to protect ks wearer
from all evil spirits. Now-a-days this
belief has been translated into a
potency to guard the serpentine's
wearer from the malicious thoughts
of his enemies'.
Today's mystic color, according to
he Siamese, is dark red, and is said
to briifg many new friends and
pleasant associations, especially if
worn with a ruby. Especially should

Today's flower is the red rose,
