WEALTHY FAMILIES III DIVORCE TRIAL Du Ponts and Bancrofts of Delaware in Great Legal Battle.

(National News Association) WILMINGTON. Del., Jan. 10. Barring the possible motion on the part of 'the counsel for either of the principals for further delay, the divorce suit of John Bancroft, Jr., against Mm. Madeline du Pont Bancroft, in which Mrs. Bancroft's two year old son is mentioned as co-respondent, and the wife's counter-suit against her husband, will begin tomorrow morning in the Superior Court of New Castle county. The trial promises to develop into a great legal battle with the millions of the Du Ponts and the Bancrofts arrayed on either side. Since the suits were filed early last spring, every effort has been made by Mr. Bancroft to have a master appointed and the testimony taken in private. His arguments for a secret trial will be continued when the case comes up tomorrow. Mrs. Bancroft, however, is equally Insistent on a trial by Jury, in which the testimony will all be given In public. Both methods are entirely legal upder the Delaware statutes, and the one to be used is merely a matter of Judicial discretion. Society circles in New York, Washington and Philadelphia are eagerly watching the development, and in case of a Jury trial, will hear the sensational disclosures which have long been hinted at. When the cases were postponed at the last term of court, William F. Kurtz, a member of the New Castle bar, was adopted commissioner to go to Munich, Oermany and take the testimony of a number of Important witnesses. Bancroft and his counsel accompanied the commissioner, but their mission was not very successful, as a number of the witnesses refused to talk, and there was no legal way of compelling them to do so. The divorce suits of the Bancrofts are the sequel to a romantic marriage In 1907, when the athletic young Princeton student and heir to the Bancroft millions eloped with the beautiful Madeline Du Pont, favorite daughter of the millionaire "Powder King." The runaway match was a big social sensation, but the young couple were forgiven by their parents and then went to Germany where Bancroft was to, continue his studies. It is on certain Incidents which are said to have happened durlug their stay in Oermany that Bancroft bases his petition for a divorce. In his bill ho names as co-respondent his wife's two-year-old son, whom he calls "Max Helbler," asserting that one Max Heibler, of Munich, Is the father of the child. v Mrs. Bancroft bases her counter-suit on statutory grounds also, naming several Munich women as co-respondents.

CRUSADE STARTED AGAINST "FUIIUY SHEETS"

Comic Supplements Debasing the Artistic Taste Lowering Standards of Humour. Why Do Women Bother About Men?

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Indiana to the rescue. It is indeed a cold day apropos figure this weather when this state can't start something. The excellent Indianapolis Star has begun a cautious crusade against the ungodly comic supplement. It Is hardly sticking its head out of cover so to speak but when it did who discovered It? The equally excellent -Outlook." The "yellow press" has done a certain service to the public, despite Its grievous sins, but it was also responsible for thrusting this depraved form of art down the throats of what is sometimes called "the rising generation" altbouugh so far as that goes the "funny sheets" are devoured with avidity by persons of all ages. It is a sort of jouurnalistic vaudeville. A typographical burlesque. That it is, artistically and socially vicious, cannot be denied. Not "vicious" in the common acceptance of the word. But vicious in establishing a coarse standard of humour and art, which, I through the tremendous and ramifying powers of the newspapers, is becoming a fixed one one might say I national in character. Children cry for the "funny papers." They revel in them. They know all the chief actors in the various castes as well as they do the members of their own households. A like amount of expression put into something refining and what a lever for "boosting culture." For the men who originate these amusing stories In pencil, are artists, many of them trained in art schools and capable of just as effective artistic expression in a more aesthetic medium. The hold these "funny papers" have upon the public and especially upon children, is the fact that they do tell a story and the sort of story that appeals to the average American. And their humour is peculiarly that of this nation. But, first and all the time, its the story that takes and holds the attention. The narrative farm either in literature, painting or sculpture (but never music) is that which has the universal appeal. Its the story telling element that has fascinated the world from the beginning. The serpent started it with Eve. And she handed it on. For was it not the little fable of the apple that engaged her ennuied attention? Constant and uninterrupted association with Adam must have palled. Constant association with anybody is tiresome. No matter how much you may like or love them, esteem or care for them. How much they may be necessary to you, or how congenial. "Variety is the spice of life." Every time. There is no exception to this old saw. This is one that you can flaunt in the face of the world and you'll not be called down. That's one of the things that is the matter with dear old marriage. People simply get tired to death of each other. When you can pluck the rose every day you don't care for it. Too much sweetness is cloying. A continuous' diet of sugar is sickening. You don't want ice-cream and chocolates three times a day. Nobody wants anything they can have any moment. Its the bunch of grapes just without reach. Its the peach that hangs the highest. Its the rose that blooms just the other side of the hedge. It's the apple you can't hit with your pole. "Madame." said Heine. "I should have been desperately in love with her had she manifested the least indifference, and I was indifferent because I saw that she loved me. Madame, if anyone would win my love, they must treat me encanaille." This seems a cynicism but it is a truth whose subtlety or lack of subtlety is apparent to the most casual observer. This 1s where many women lose out. They're too anxious to please. What's the use? There's always another roan round the corner, so why take any trouble about the one in plain sight. Let him take the trouble. He'll take It if he thinks it's worth It that is worth it to him. The truth is the silliest thing a woman can do is to bother about men. Men don't bother about women. Women are mere incidents. When a man has done everything else be wants to do or has to do or thinks he must do or pleases himself in doing then he takes up the matter of the woman. He stops and looks round. Oh, sure enough, there you are. Why I'd forgotten: all about you. You Ye looking pretty fine today pretty dress you've got on. After all. you know, I'm awfully fond of you come on and lets take a walk and watch the sunset and here's a box of candy I intended to give it to Alice but forgot to atop on the way home so you may as well have it. Don't want it? Why, what'a the matter? Dont ' you want my candy feelings hurt what's the use being fussy? Why don't you come on and be sweet while I'm in the mood. Maybe I won't be another time oh well all right I'm going down town anyway some office work but youll regret it some day you'll remember when I wanted to be nice you gave me the marble heart that's the way with. women never satisfied always wanting some

and

No, it's a mistake to bother about the men. Statistics say they aren't dying out just as many as ever. They caucus in spots that's all. Men are well enough in their place. Their place is to fetch and carry. Let women remember this and there'll be lots more enjoyment all around. This, it must be admitted, has little to do with the hideous comic supplement. Readers of the Sunday Star have within the past months been charmed with a page in the magazine section devoted to picturing the old fables and fairy tales drawn by Mrs. Brandt Steele daughter-in-law of T. C. Steele, the dean of Indiana resident artists. Mrs. Steele herself is an artist of versatility and has worked in varying media, designing of bookplates and art glass windows, for one thing, and comes of one of the "best" families in the Btate, the McKays, who have ever Interested themselves, and been conspicuous, in the literary, artistic and public life of Indiana. Mrs. Steele's aunt. Miss Mary Nicholson, is one of the leading educators of the country and now a member of the Indianapolis School Board one of the very few women in America who occupy such a position. Mrs. Steele's fancy is a charming one, her learning catholic and her artistic acumen profound. If the subject matter has been a tittle beyond those who must be wooed from the crude fascinations of the "funny papers" that is because this is a venture which has not yet quite found itself. It is in an experimental stage. The same art might be used in the telling of those exaggerated and still truthful stories of the everyday life of the majority with just as alluring an effect. The men who "do" these "funny papers" are gifted, shrewd, and humorous. They recognize that element in human nature which delights In contemplating the grotesque and sardonic and they play to it. All they need to do is to play up to it instead of down. The problem of the comic supplement will then be solved. Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. At t.e Gannett. Jan. 13 "Let George Do It." Jan.

In 1889 the Inundation of the Yellow river caused great suffering in China. The inferior people not only "groaned and murmured." bnt died by the hundreds. In order to raise funds for the relief of the survivors the prefect of Hnngchow levied a tax on each cup of tea sold in the tea houses of the great city. The ancient capital assessed in this arbitrary fashion resented that tax after the manner of the Bostonians of 1773. In spite of the humane object of the assessment, the citizens put a boycott on tea. and the proprietors of the tea houses cried out in protest. The prefect issued a second proclamation, in which he assured his people that happiness was their sure reward if they cheerfully contributed to this excellent cause. This agreeable assurance had no effect on the boycotters, and the tax had to be removed. Perhaps this is the only instance on record where a cltyfal of people were banded to resist compulsory "happiness." Youth's Companion. That Was Different. Repeatedly he had heard the young woman boast of eluding the vigilance of the conductor and riding home free, so when he got a chance to sneak a ride for both of them be slipped the dime back into his pocket and smiled upon her in triampb. "Didn't you pay yonr fare?' she asked. "No." said he. "The conductor never even looked our way. She ,. saiii, nothing., bjber look of disdain was unmistakable. "I've heard you tell many a time of doing the same thing," he said defiantly. "Oh. well." she said, "that's differ, ent.
