wife's skirts, according to the decision
of Judge Gates in the circuit court.
An outfitting company sued Carleton
King, whose wife had purchased q
silk skirt for $3.50. King set up that
as the skirt was not an article of ne.
cessity, he was not bound to pay for
it. Judge G ates upheld his contention.
The Judge said:
"No one need tell me that silk skirts
hat cost Sl6.50 are q necessity for any
woman. My wife finds it possible to
live comfortably and happily, and
even to 60 out into society with skirts

her to have such things and 10 willing

sent and has them charged to his &C.
count, l will not be a party to the
