yacht Helenta, while cruising in Nova Scotian
waters.
She began action early in the spring against
her husband for separation. but 1t was believed
that the troubles of the pair would be
patched up
Ii is expected that Mrs. Gould's attorney, Henry
Ia Sprasue, will apply in a few days TO a Justice
the Supreme Court to appoint referee to take
testimony in the suit thus insuring secrecy.
