There, as the law doesn't recognize fat as cause for separation she laid against him a charge of psychic cruelty and was freed of the fleshy encumbrance. Soon she realized her mistake. She heard her former husband had found some one who didn't object to his shape, and married her. Then the divorced wife found she loved him. She was piQued. too, that he could care for anybody else. In retaliation she got up a fictitious Irritation and engage ment with the fellow who was in love with the girl the former husband was supposed to have married.
