-She Accepts Reluctantly.

SsAO NCCVpso AsViuCtShiy'
Nat Fields, brother Of Lew Fields,
and an actor himself, was arraigned before
Magistrate Mayo in the West Side court
yesterday afternoon charged by his wife
with non-suppor and abandonment.
Mrs. Fields said that her husband had
paid her nothing for several weeks past
toward the support Of herself and her 8
months old baby; though she said that he
was getting from $65 to $50 week as an
actor In THE Belle of Avenue A. with
Ellie Fay. ~, ....I
Fields said he got only 500 a week. and
offered to pay his wife SIS week. Mrs.
Fields said she couldn't positively live on
less than $2S a week, as her rent alone cost
her nearly $40 month.
Magistrate Mayo advised her to reduce
her expenses and accept the SIS a week.
This, Mrs. Fields said, was impossible.
Finally Fields said he'd give her SIS week.
The Magistrate told her that in view Of the
facts that her husband works only forty
weeks q year and Is under heavy expenses
while on the road, this was a. very generous
offer. Mrs. Fields with some hesitation
Fields gave his promise to pay the. stipu-
lated sum and Magistrate Mayo did not re-
quire him to furnish a bond.

tributor a member of the Con-
vention, and secure the beautiful
souvenir program, handsome Off

the convention proceedings. The
official badge, which will be issued
only to those who subscribe for
stock and register, will secure ad-
mission to all sessions of the con-
vention. Each subscriber will
also receive a beautifully engraved
souvenir certificate of stock,
bearing the autographs of the II
