where alimony Is sought, has an en-.
tremely shrinking effect on the bank
accounts OF mere man. as IL shown b.
the District Supreme Courts divorces
records. &.s3
Ninety per cent of tho petitions fol
legal separation filed by dissatisfied
wives eventually are paid for by errins
husbands at so much per error.

tactics on the part of the husband.

In 1912, when reductions to SIS and $50 a
