THE S-TEP-MOTHER'S STORY.
Mrs. Baker, Minnie GwinnelFs step
mother. resides at No. 416 Henderson street.
Minnie has been living with her since she
left her Clark place home to attend the wed
ding at Prospect Plains. | called there last
night to hear Mrs. Gwinnelfs side of the
separation which has, it appears, arrayed
the Gwinnells against the Bakers. MIS-.

with a few interesting tales of her step
daughters marriage to "Willie" Gwlnnell.

house. q neglected to state TINS last msnpJ
ssWillie Gwinnell," began Mrs. Baker,

prior to his marriage with my step-daugh-
ter. They were married about two years
and eight months ago. 1t was in April, any
way. They went ON a wedding tour to Con

Willie's mother Willie is t~wenty-four years
old had said that she was opposed to the
marriage of her Willie to Minnie. Finally
she induced him to come back to Jersey City.
In the middle of the night they arrived here
and at once came to my house.

them-weren't acquainted. They tried tc
keep Minnie away from her home, but they
couldn't do it. Finally they went house
keeping in September and kept house unit
the following January, and then back they
went to No. u Clark place. That poor
child's life must have been an Internally I'm

of the ROOM
ssThat will do, | am talking" replied Mrs.
Baker with a majestic wave OF the rlgh1
hand. There was silence at once and Mrs
Baker continued.

Thursday morning without going back +

he wouldn't come after her. When Minnie
left home she said, as she always does whel
she goes out. goodbye if you don't see M
again. She didn't desert him but he deserte'
her."
Herman v. Radonitz of No. 341 Fourtl
street who was with Mrs. Gwinnell when he
husband met her Thursday evening, say
that he saw Gwinnell following them. Fl
turned, finally and said:
Hello. Willie"
Willie was mad, and addressing th
woman he promised to love and cherish
asked:@
"What in So kind of a woman are you
Do you mean to leave me!n
Mrs. Gwinnell implored her husband t
keep still, and assured him it was not her in
tention to cave him. She had just told hin
she was on her way to tell him where sh
had been when he replied
NOh, that be -"
ANXIOUS TO MAKE UP.
Mrs. Gwinnell is anxious to make up wit
her husband, but a thorn in her side is tina
her Willie advertised her as having left hi
bed and board. On Sunday last they met a
Mrs. Decker's, in Fifth street, and tried t
aQJuSU ulelI bIOuUl6S, Uuu w AiC i hOi
anxious to have his Minnie go to her hom
and stay there than he is to have her wit
him. He says he wants to pay up some oil
back bills, any way; and he suggests tina
they live apart until he does this, then h
will try to establish a home for himself an
her.
Minnie is anything but heartbroken, an
saws she can stand it as long a
he can. She > has not been accus
toned to having much money sine
she has been married, and she believes SD
can get along without much now. Mr.:
Gwinnell is going to try once more to adJus
the difficulty which has separated her froI
her husband. No one would suspect too muc
mother-in-iaw on Minnieis side. Mrs. Bake
assured me that one of her boarders said nc
J long ago that If he could get as good
mother-in-law as Willie Gwinnell did, b
y would marry at once. This remark Wa
made at a time when Willie slept until tn
afternoon, got up in time to eat a heart
I supper,and then s'do' the town till midnigh
lose his position, and be kept under til
sheltering wing of his step-mother-in-la'
without ruffiing a feather, free of charge.
