IL you pay your board,

Some girls require more

for others you can take them

a better time.

Q.-This is my tale of woe.
My husband was divorced
from his first wife, and now
after he and I have been
married five years, l have
just discovered that he APP
piled for and obtained his
divorce under an assumed
name, giving an assumed
name for both himself and
his wife. Now Is that divorce
legal or not? And am / his
lawful wife?
He has children by his
first wife and we have one
child. Is this likely to cause
trouble about division of
property? We have some
community property, and he
had some property before we
were married. Won't you
please answer soon as / am
anxious to know?

Miss Redmond's fingers wandered,

through. Pitchoune heard and turned
his beautiful head and his soft eyes to
her. He knew that tune. Neither
