Friends of Miss Bend say that It Is hardly fulr to consider the liberal allowance made her by Mr. Whitney as a salary.

Her sister, Amy Bend, now Mrs. Cortland Field Bishop, who lives In Paris, was one of the great beau ties of a decade ago. Miss Bend is nowhere as pretty as her sister, but Is still remarkably at tractive. She Is finely formed and a charming conversationalist She Is of medium slse, has fine shoulders and ft head of rich brown hair. There scarcely could be a greater contrast between Amy and Beatrice Bend. Not only in personal appear. ance, but in habits and disposition. Beatrice Bend is the antithesis of her sister. She does not care much for the exciting obligations of high society any more than does Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney or Mrs. Payne Whitney. Miss Beatrice Is the friend of both, taking keen interest in the art ambitions of the one and the literary Instincts of the other. Her father, George IL Bend, was the Worthlngton Whltehouse of his day in New York's upper set With "Johnny" Hechsher and "Jlmmle" Otis he led all the cotillions and was considered an almost Indispensable adjunct of every fashionable function. In this way he met the second Mrs. Whitney, who was introduced to Miss Beatrice when she was a mere child. L. 0. RALSTON, President W.C.

Morford loved Rudkin like a brother. For 15 years he had been the wealthy man's attorney and con fidential adviser. Now Frank IL Rud kin lives on that farm and is the hus band of the former Mrs. Morford. Morford is in Alaska trying to re trieve the fortune which he says Rud kin and his former wife secured from him by fraud. Morford and his wife had some trouble. As the confidential adviser of Morford, Rudkin advised his friend to allow his wife to secure divorce without contest and to give her $1,500 In cash and the three farms, paying an in come of $1,500 a year. As attorney, Rudkin dictated the divorce complaint, had his brother appear In court with the complainant, and, as judge, grant ed the divorce. These things are all a matter of record. Later Rudkin married Mrs. Morford. He is now living in the Morford home. The suit of Morford against Rud kin and his former wife is now pend ing, and It Is expected that even more sensational evidence will be intro duced when the trial is called than the complaint at law shows. For some reason the facts In the case never became public until yesterday. Rudkln's influence kept the facts out of the Yakima papers. Rudkin was on the program to speak before the Wash ington Bar Association in this city last week. At the last moment he sent word that he could not come.
