His wife has married again. mean

One OF the children Is drawing ST.
900 year alimony on her own hook.
The petitioner says his present in

Several years ago there was man
who gave up housekeeping-he says
1t is nearly Lwenty-and stored his
household goods. He has since paid
storage far in excess of the intrinsic
value Of the furniture to whose own

when he can find house which he
