the court said could not DO determinel by
its own feeling. but would have to be
governed according to preceding cases.
Tho courts discretion was curtaiied by the
act of the Legislature. which body had
fixed the sum IN all cases OF divorce. The
actlou they thought must be satisfactory
to the party In tho suit. Aiimcny was
then fixed ut S100 to 10 paid weekly from
this day pending the handing down OF the
divorce, or close OF the case.
IpGfixing the amount for expenses the
court Raid It was embarrassedsmore By the
question than by any OF the others The
Legislature had also restricted them but
they were cognizant that the case involv-
ed wide scope OF labor and 1t was 1ust
along this line that embarrassment fol-
lowed.
Never has there baen case before tho
Delaware courts which Involved such an
amount as was asked for by hrs.I Adj
dicks, $500, for counsel fees and expenses.
The court thought $500 sufficient TO meet
all expenses and fixed this as tho amount.
The money must be paid within thirty
days

years ago. 1t has been fortunate in
securing contributions for its pages from
the leading writer's and artists of the
language, while it has given to its readers
many works that have become i'm
perishahle classics IN juvenile literature.
ST. Nicholas has had for many years a
large circulation in Europe, and il is said
u be rad by many royal children.
When the children of the Prince of

took six copies for his household, and
the present Crown Prince of Italy grew
up constant reader of ST. Nicholas.
