ever any agreement that the grounds
alleged therein should not impugn the
character OF his former wife; but on
the contrary asserts the fact to be
that she is a believer in the theory Of
what is termed free love-" and she
had adopted as her standard of life
this theory, which holds for naught
the sanctity of the marriage VOW.
1t is recited that she made this
theory the guide of her conduct and
did not hesitate to advocate it and to
openly admit that she was living in
conformity with its teachings. It was
the admission, to her husband that she
had formed a liaison with man She
termed her soul mate" that rendered
| it impossible for the marital relations
to continue.
Searched For Soul Mate.
1t is further claimed that she form
ed liaisons with more than one man in
her effort to find hertr1e "sOul mate, y
and as she made no efforts to conceal
her relations with these men, her
name appeared so often in the sensa-
tional papers throughout the country
that the husband, to avoid the I'M
pleasant notoriety to which he was
thus subjected. decided to abondon
his home in this country and establish
residence in Holland. AS the admis-
sion of infidelity on the part of the
wife could be used in the divorce
courts of that country, suit for di-
vorce was brought there and the wife
executed an instrument admitting the
allegation of infidelity, and the divorce
| which was granted rested largely on
this admission.
He denies there was any agreement
that the decree of divorce should
award to her the care or custody OF
their child for any part either of the
summer vacation or Christmas holt
DAYS, or that there was any uncon-
ditional agreement that she should
have the custody of the child at any
| time.
| But there was a conditional agree
ment to that effect: that is to say, at
that time petitioner claimed to have
found her true "soul mate" in man
with whom she was then living and
stated that it was her purpose to mar
ry him as soon as she could legally
do so and thereafter to abandon the
life she had lived, and upon that condi-

the ruin of the child and the destruc-
tion of the moral character and his
future happiness and usefulness.
The answer closes with a prayer
that the petition in this cause be dis.
missed and that the custody of the
child be returned to the respondent
without any condition or restrictions.

ton the husband agreed to let their
child visit her occasionally.
1t is further stated that the husband
would gladly have done so had she
carried out that agreement, but she
not only did not marry but continued
to advocate her doctrine and to make
it her standard of life by constantly
forming new attachments, and thus
kept herself continuously in the lime
light of newspaper notoriety.
To return to the text of the answer:
Was a Correspondent.
"And even right at the time she
filed her petition in this cause she
was, as defendant is advised and be-
lieves, indulging in relations with a
married man, a resident of the state
of Georgia, that resulted in divorce
proceedings being filed by his wife
in the courts of that state, and in
which petitioner was named a core
spOndent, and this respondent has
been subjected to further humiliation
by numerous references to him made
in the newspaper accounts throughout
the country of this, her latest esca-
,pade.
"He denies that he made any false
or fraudulent representations to her
in reference to- the purpose or effect
of her consent that the custody OF the
child be awarded to him.
The answer then states that the
husband did allow the boy to visit
the mother and would have gladly con-
tinued to do so but for the fact that
she has rendered it impossible for, him
to do so without doing himself an in
justice and his child a positive injury
and wrong; and he admits that he now
refuses to permit her to see the child
unless she will see him in the pres
ence of third person, he being salts
fed that she would take advantage of
the visit to poison his young mind in

nicious doctrine in his mind in an ef-
fort to make him believe she is doing

Not Morally Qualified.
The husband denies that the mother
is qualified mentally and morally to
have the permanent or even temper
airy care or custody of the boy. He
admits that the home of the wifes
parents in New York may be open to
the boy, but AYERS that it is not a de
sirable place for him for the reason
that the grandmother's fOndness for
the child has caused her to be over
indulgent.

but it has been OF an impulsive and
