Mother In Telling Court of

The battle Of the babies was fought
and won in the court OF domestic re.
lations, Monday morning, and the vic
torious forces rode away IN triumph
on the shoulders of their mother and
father.
Mrs. Sophia Kaminsky brought suit
for divorce against her husband,
Frank Kaminsky, 0ne-time ofhcial Of
the Polish National alliance, and De.
troit property holder. A similar suit
had been filed In Chicago and dis
missed. The present case was called
Monday, and Kaminsky and his wife
appeared before Judge Lacy. With
them were their three babies. One
is Just at the toddling age, and one
is q young lady Of five with brand
new and particularly gorgeous Easter
hat perched on the top Of q very curly
head.
A very naughty divorce case had
just been heard, with q sordid sort
of story of an erring wife who plotted
as keenly as q Russian countess In
q novel could plot. Judge Lacy looked
cross and rather discouraged with
human nature In general and ready
to snap at the nrst person up before
him.
"Kaminsky vs. Kaminsky" said the
clerk.
The Judge looked up ready to ask
questions, and looked right into the

In the harbor Of papa's arms and
waved a tiny and sticky hand at his

mother and the toddler wiggled out

The Judge smiled, the baby smiled
back in q friendly fashion. and the
toddler smiled In an even more
friendly fashion, while the young lady
smiled in a depreciating way and
looked an apology for the behavior
of the other two.
BY this time every one was smiling
and the baby laughed out loud to the
intense scandal OF the young lady.
