day before Judge Van Brunt, In Supreme Court Cham
ber& After hearing counsel at some length, Mr..
George \. Langbein appearing for the plaintiff ana
Nessrs. Post and Anderson In opposition Judge Van
Brunt intilnated q doubt TO granting both
alimony aud counsel fee, but expressed willingness
TO grant the other.
II am perfectly wiling Your Honor" said Mr..
Laugben, ITO waive the motion SO fur as almony Is
concerned and take the counsel fee."
This seemingly magnan offer on the part of the
counsel startled the Court into smile we'll
throng OF lawyers who had boon listening the argu-
menI Judge Van Brunt granted the motion as to The

out that the plaintiff s rich LADY, and that she cares
nothing about ahmony provided she get rid OF her
