divorce in 1910 on charges of
cruelty. desertion and non-sup-
port. Here's her description of
what followed the court order for
her arrest:
"a perfectly nasty lawyer came
to my apartment and he had with
him a horrid sheriff-think of it.,
a sheriff! They said they had az
order for my arrest because | was
in contempt of court in something
they said was a supplementary
proceeding. l didn't know what
that was, but it was a perfectly
horrid thing for the lawyer man
to do, and the sheriff was just per-
fectly dreadful, you know.
Il called up my lawyer right
away and he came up there while
those men waited. / told him I
was sure the bill had been paid by
my father, but l didn't have any
receipt and my lawyer said !
shouldn't pay it again and we'd
go to court and fight it, but you
know how it is; l simply wouldn't
go down to the court and / said
I'd rather pay it all over again
than do that"
