TOO MUCH MyHER.|N.LAW
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Frame
Have Their Own Trouble.
MARRIAGE MAY BE A FAILURE
\ Newly Welded Couple Alleged to
Have Domestic Ill-fcelingS OF
Their Own-.A Settlement
Probable.

1t is alleged that Thomas Frame, Jr.,
Il young lawyer Of Dover, Del, has in
his short experience Of married life suf
fcient trouble to make him believe that
marriage is not only Il failure but very
unpleasant.
| Thomas Frame, Jr, and Miss Adella
Clayton Of Middletown, were married
the latter part OF November, and after d
short wedding tour went to live with
the groom's parents in Dover.
The old adage Of zone house never
was large enough for two families, y
seemed to prove true in this case, and
very shortly all kinds OF rulnors were
atloat, some Of which were that the
bride did not get enough to eat, which
in itself was sufficient grounds for her to
make decided kick. .s-
| 1t is understood that Mrs. Frame has
made frequent visits to her mothers
home in Middletown since Christmas on
the pretext that her mother was quite
sick, but rumor has it that things were
so unpleasant for her in Dover that to
get away from her own home was a
pleasure.
1t is alleged that the father and mother
in-law were to give up the house to the
newly married couple and they (the
parents board with them with the
promise that the mother-in-law must
have 'all the comfort and privileges Of a
home"
Finally quarrels were more frequent
than eatablcs judging from the reports
now agog in Dover and Middletown.
TO further kindle the flames that had
already started to burn, Frame took a
trip to Atlantic City to drown hls
troubles.
On his return home he stopped off at
Middletown to see his wife who was
visiting her mother.
1t is alleged that he had not had
sufficient time to become sober and i'm
mediately ol his arrival at the house,
started to decorate the parlor furniture
and carpet with the whiskey and free
lunch he had partaken to, freely OF.
\ discussion arose who was to clean it
up and Frame requested his wife to do it.
She refused when he demanded in
words more forcible than elegant, that
she do as requested.
His wife's sister interiered and said
she should not do it.
After while youn3 Clayton, Il brother
Of Mrs. Frame, learned of the disgrace
full actions of his brother-in-law and de-
manded that he leave the house and
never return.
Frame then to further drown his sor-
row, went down the State where it is
said he is on intimate terms with Il
prominent gentlemen's WIFE
About one month ago Mrs. Frames
father, Richard Clayton, OF Middetown,
died very suddenly.
After his death Frame learned that
what money was bequeatlled to his wife
was SO fixed that he would not be able
to reap any benefit from it.
This coupled with the fact that the
SUN left her was far less than Frame ex-
pected, did not have a tendency to make
the trouble already existing, any better.
' Francis father denies that there is
any trouble between his son and his wife
bnt offers no explanation as to her many
trips to Middletown.
,flle sympathy all seems to be with the
wife, she being al estimable young
lady of MiddletOwn. well thought of BY
every one who knew lier and not cal
culated to make trouble anywhere.
1t was learned today on good authority
that the difference will possibly be
settled and they will start
anew in 4 house of their own.
