The only case in City Court Thursday

Only one world, and two people in 1t,
WHEY and |. They are Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Lemare, and have been married
some years, but their incompatibiity Of
temperament Is Of elephantine proportions.
for they are engaged in one long-con-
tinued scrap. Not many weeks ago Lee
MARE was in court and pleaded guilty to
breach of peace alias scrapping with
his wife. The last cloud that fitted across
their heaven Of connubial bliss was a typi-
cal thunder-head. The trouble started by
Iemaire claiming the other day that his
wife sat on the piazza in the afternoon too
much, watching the trolley cars whiz by
the door. He also told her that she used
rouge and he took a wet rag and washed
her face and she gave him the laugh. But
this is not the worst, although some pretty
hot language was uncorked. She was
changing her clothes in the front hall and
as her husband said on the witness stand,
had nothing on but gauzc undcrvest and
pair of corsets. He told her TO get back
| into the room, and to emphasize his re-
marks, gave her push. That started it.
She picked up a plate and banged him on
! tho head and he kicked her on tho hip,
and 80 they have drifted apart"
/ In court he tried to make out that ne
was poor, defenceless hen-pccked hus-
band, and that his wife always started the
scraps. She said nit and tried to make It
out otherwise. but It Is about a case Of
skies. The court made short address APP
propriate to the occasion, and told them
that he would continue the case to see it
they couldn't live together peaceably and
take care Of their children. Lcmaire said
he would like TO go back and live with his
wife, who shook him for two weeks but
she said that she didn't think she would
over 80 back to him.
! The only other case in court was that Of
Alec Martin for breach of the peace and
assault on Dora Chisholm Friday night

against him, which they We're unwilling to
do TO any great extent. and he was fined
