In the troubles which wrecked the
happiness OF the young couple.
Mrs. Willis says that their troubles
started while they were on their we'd
ding trip, and she tells OF a scene in
a Montreal hotel, caused, she says. by
her husbands temper, cruelty and
lack Of consideration. She says she
was always frail, and never weighed
more than 112 pounds. but soon after
her marriage was reduced to &C. She

SO that she was completely tired out.

accused him OF caring more for other
women than. for her. She admits the
charge Of her husband that she OBJ
jected to living in Canton, O., and
says the reason was because
he and woman there mani
tested unusual interest In each other.
She says her husband told her that
this woman invited him to dinner
when her husband was away. and told
him how unhappy she was because
her husband is older than she.
AS a sample OF her husbands unself-
ishness. Mrs. Willis alleges that he
would occupy nearly all the bed. leav-
Ing scarcely room enough for her to
lie down. When she demonstrated,
she says. he growled SO loudly that
people occupying the adjoining room
mimicked him, and once when she
asked for more room she says he
pushed her out OF bed.
Mrs. Willis alleges that her hus-
band was in the habit OF complaining
OF her frail physical condition, and
would quote Kipling's lines to her: "A

She mentions her husbands tickle
ness. and says that one day he would
tell her they were made for each 9TH

next would treat her cruelty. He
would also complain OF her poor
clothes one day. and the next would
find fault when she used her own
money to buy needed dress.
