RULES FOR ALlMoNY
Vice Chancellor Settles Point In
Equity.

mo man should indulge in the luxury
of a divorce unless he's able to provide
his wife with means to fight him. said
Vice Chancellor Pitney this morning on
a motion for alimony before him. The
case was that Of Mrs. Louisa Waer, of
Dover, against whom her husband George
had fled bill for divorce. Georges eoun-
sci said his client was too poor to fur
nish alimony pending the trial of the suit,
whereupon the Vice Chancellor laid down
the rule as quoted and added
I'm all my experience there was only
one case where have refused the wife's
counsel fee when she was sued by her
husband for divorce. In that case
dozen affidavits Of such force as to
establish the defendants guilt We're sub
mitted. When a wife sues she must
establish prima facie case before de-
manding a fee and alimony. When a
husband sues his wife it Is different
matter. He drags her into court against
her will and unless he supplies the money
she is unable to defend herself. The de-
fendant will pay counsel fee of s25. I
won't grant alimony."
