'4AREM GIRL" WANTS DIVORCE


Until she was married at the age of
II, the harem with it's solicitude and
seclusion was good enough for Mrs.
Victoria Slyufy. Her knowledge of
the world was confined to the pala-
tial prison, high walls and the garden
with the bathing pool and fountain,
until Gabriel Slyufy, 20 years older
than she, claimed her for wife.
They came to Chicago, where Sly
ufy engaged in the rug business. Once
here, where women vote and smoke
and go to court, existence in harem
was depressing.
She learned quickly and a few days
ago paid a visit. to an attorney. He
flied suit for divorce.

AUTO FILTRATION LEADS TO
FINES IN MORALS COURT
Two young girls were foolish
enough-when two rich young fell
lows whirled up in an auto and asked
them to take ride-to accept. Their
experiences while on that ride result
ed in fines of $25 and costs for the
young men.
William Parkinson of 2740 w.
Adams st., and Charles Revensdorff,
2755 w. Jackson blvd, were the auto
lists. AS, they drove by 35th st. and
ParneH av they saw the girls and,
according to them, offered to take
them home.
Once the girls were in the auto the
course taken was not home. They
sped as far as Goth av and Madison
st., where they arrived at 1:30 Sum
day morning. Then the girls were
told to get out.
Luckily, Policeman Charles Ben
nett was standing behind tree only
a few feet from the auto when it
stopped and one of the girls jumped
from the car and ran to him. Her
waist was torn in several places and
she showed signs of rough handling.
The story the girls told of indecent
proposals and of actual attempts to
take advantage of them led to the
arrest of the boys. They were fined
in the morals court.
