guimpe can be made Of one material

facings the foundation or lining can
be cut away beneath to give a trans

The guimpe is made with front and
backs. The 'facings are applied on in
dicated lines, and the high collar
finishes the neck. The plain sleeves
are made in two portions, but the

TROUBLE STARTS :
ON WEDDING DAY
MRS. L. C.. ELLIS, PRETTY ENG
Lish WOMAN, TELLS STORY
OF DOMESTIC WOE.

He delighted in telling OF his love
for another woman. and said he
wouldn't give her UP IL were worth
million"
This statement was made by May
Chafor In Judge Rohnert's court
Wednesday morning. when she APP
piled for a divorce from William ID.
Chafor. William hasn't given up the
other woman, either, the wife testi-
fed, and they are now living together
as Mr.. and Mrs. Chafor In Detroit.
An interesting story OF her battle
against the world was told by Lillian
c. Ellis, a pretty and cultured Eng
lish woman, who asked Judge Man
dell for a divorce from her husband,
Frederick J. Ellis.
Mrs. Ellis said that she left her
home In England at the age OF 10.
having become disguised with her
fathers mode Of living. She secured
job in Montreal, but she gave that
up when the manager insisted on kiss
ing her. She came to Detroit and en-
tered the Y. w. c. A. Later she Sc
cured situation as a telephone
operator. In 1901 she met Ellis and
married him year later.
She said that her trouble started
on their wedding day. and was caused
largely by her husbands people, who
objected to her as a daughterin.law.
The birth OF her baby only made mat
tiers worse, she testified, and she was
neglected and left alone nights and
Sundays. She said that her husband
was sullen. would pout for week at
time. and refuse TO speak to her.
The husband is contesting the case.
and will fight for the custody OF the
child. Letters received by Mrs. Ellis
from an officer OF the boat on which
she made trip TO England two years
ago will be introduced In evidence, the
husband says.
