Nelson.
"No sir" replied Washington.
You are hired by a foreign gov

clared Sen. Nelson.
That this matter was printed when

LET WIFE KEEP

Husband Too Critical When He
Tries to Direct Baking and
Sweeping, Declares Funk in
Deciding Divorce Suit.

When a husband objects because
his wife serves pie in the same pan in
which il is baked, and sweeps the
dining room before having cleared the
table, he is too critical, especially
when the wife is working outside to
help pay the household expenses. ac-

Grace WOOdford against William A.
WOodfOrd. The husband should not
dictate how TO run the house, the
court said

understanding, however, that she is

life Of the Woodfords had been at the
highest tension for many years. on
several occasions WoodfOrd refused to
remain in the house when there was
company at one time sleeping four
nights in the barn.
The court indicated that another
reason for granting the decree was
the welfare of the 10-year-old boy. 1t

the judge.
