WIFE WENT HOME TO
MOTHER TOO OFTEN


OLYMPIA. Feb. when a 10
year old wife goes home to her
mother three times in two months
and then sues for divorce at the
end of 10 weeks she need not ex-
pect to get it, in King county
courts, at least.
Yesterday the supreme court af-
firmed the decision in the superior
court of King county, denying Car
rie Wilhelm a decree of divorce
from Frank J. Wilhelm.
The fact that she made up with
her husband three times gives the
quarrel the appearance of a childish
spat, and not marital troubles seri-
GUS enough for a divorce said the
court.
