at least sixty years old and worth

avenue, sat on a hot water bottle in
the Morrisania court while her hus-
band, John Fabish Silversvard, grand
son of a Swedish count, told the mag
istrate the troubled story of their mar
ried life
He had to marry, said the grandson
of the count, in order to have his fare
paid from Princes Bay, Staten Island,
| back to his home in the Bronx, other
wise he would have had to walk The
first day after his marriage he had to
do a weeks wash in the home Of the
coy bride, and then she bought him
suit Of livery and made him play
coachman on the box of her cute lit
tie surrey.
Mrs. Silversvard became so excited
during the recital of her husbands
marital woes that she sent the hot
water bottle three times to barber
shop to be renewed. She confessed TO
the court that she had to sit on the
hot water bottle to keep the evil spir.
its away.
The elderly bride Of a few months ap-
peared to answer a summons served
on her at her husbands behest He
had sworn that when he tried to run
away from his wife a week ago and
live somewhere else where there
would be no weeks washing. she had
locked up all Of his clothes except
what he stood in. All he wanted was
to get his remaining wardrobe
Then the magistrate heard the other
side of the story. Mrs. Sllversvard
declared he had not been a true hus.
band. HE has never given me the
caresses a wife should receive from
her husband" she said
The couple left the courtroom to-
gether.

Chicagoan, however. Although the
prima donna fiirted with Frenchmen

Garden exclaimed:
