sanitorlum was done upon the orders of
the father, and that he believed Mrs. Kayne
had been benefited by the stay at the in

ing to DR.. COggins, DR.. Kayne said he
would care for the four-year-oid daughter
of the couple, and that his only reason for
not accompanying his wife to the sana-
tortum was that he believed that she would
never forgive him IL at the end of the drive

the sanatorium for treatment under the ex-
listing laws of the state Of Maryland, and
that she had seemed to be contented at the
institution until the agitation for her release
was begun.
