neatly sidestepped and the inquiry was
not pursued After Lampe had told
how poor he is, possessing only SIS in
cash and $3.50 in bank, an order di-
recting him to pay Mrs. Lampe $50 a
month was made. The dermatolo gist
became excited when it was suggested
that he pay the first months alimony

claimed. 81 am a nervous wreck on
account of these matters, and 1 can not
attend to my business"
