JUNE 15.-Doe DoeThe following decision was rem
dered by Judge Rooeevelt-The plaintiff widow recent
married the second tme having commenced suit for
separation APPLIES fer order directing her husband TO
furnish her with the necessary for carrying on.
Az the granting Of such application is not matter of
all cases, the Court when they presented

forty eight and the other wdower Of score that
they were both sorey disappointed in their respective
scons that they flew apart almost 1 .s soon as they

groom, although doctor, was feeble invalid,
needing and seeking for nurse to his declining years;
the BRIDE although strong, robust and powerful, had

she does not aege that the defendant this matter ever
