    1. Divorce, § 141
      
      —when allowance of temporary alimony and solicitor’s fees authorized by defendant’s answer. Allowance of five dollars per week for temporary alimony and twenty-five dollars for solicitor’s fees, held authorized by defendant’s answer, without any testimony, where his answer showed he owned a lot worth two hundred dollars and received five hundred dollars a year to attend to his mother’s investments, it not appearing that it took all his time or that he had any one but his wife to support.
    2. Appeal and error, § 726
      
      —when order for temporary alimony and solicitor’s fees sustained by answer in absence of preservation of testimony. Allowance of five dollars per week for temporary alimony and twenty-five dollars for solicitor’s fees, held authorized by defendant’s answer, though the testimony was not preserved in the record.
    3. Appeal and error, § 1170
      
      —moot questions. On appeal from an order allowing temporary alimony and solicitor’s fees, where it appears from the record that a final decree has been entered reserving to the court for future consideration the question of alimony and solicitor’s fees, held that the question presented was largely a moot question.
