Baltimore No. Feb. 1.-THE serious
side Of the mother-in-law problem plaved
part in two OF the local courts within
the past twenty-four hours, and in both
Instances the judges dealt out good ad-
vice TO the couples concerned.
The first case was that of divorce suit
brought before Judge Elliott against
Howard L. Robinson by Margaret b.
Robinson. The second was that Of Emil
Paul on the charge OF refusing TO support
his wife, Mrs. Lillian Paul.
Mrs Robinson charged her husband
with treating her with cruelty and after
ward deserting her
In delivering an opinion after hearing
the testimony, Judge Elliott declared that
the trouble appeared to have arisen
from the fact that the young married
couple had gone to the home of Mrs.
Robinsons parents. Unfortunately. he
said. little difficulties are bound to arise
in the life of young couples, and natur-
ally the father and mother, if around,
are bound to take part. After dwelling
upon the duty of a woman to go where
her husband desires her to go, he at
tempted "a reconciliation, and decided to
hold the bill under advisement
