The manual takes the place of pre-

The high standards maintained in the
last three years, before the demands
for dressings ran UP TO many millions.

BEING AIRED IN DISTRICT COURT
Mrs. WngeId Asks $3.50 Per Month Amony and ATTORNEY
Fees OF $500 for Starter Develops She Charged With
Being Unfit Person to Have Custody of Children

A general idea of the issues to be
raised in the Wingfield divorce case
was made public today in District
Judge Stoddard's court when Mrs.
Wingiield, the defendant. presented a
motion for alimony. counsel fees. suit
money and monthly allowance for
the support of the two children. Jean
and George Jr., aged FIVE and three
years respectively.
The allegations OF the complaints on
which Wingheld asks for divorce
and the permanent custody for the
children. it developed during the
course of the hearing. bark back to Il
date shortly after the marriage. which
occurred in San Francisco. July so.
1905. Extreme cruelty is. the basis of
Wingfeld's complaint, which consists
OF many typewriter pages and con-
tains more than the bare assertions
that she treated, him cruelty By re-
fusing TO take kindly TO the people of
Reno, by expressing contempt FOR Ne
vada and Nevadans and by being ex-
travagant. as given out by attorneys
on both sides shortly after the action
was filed.
Ii developed during the prescnta,
ton OF the matter in Judge Stoddard 5
court today that among other things
alleged by Wingfeld is that Mrs
WiEgfield is not a fit person to have
the custody of the two children, and
this issue promised to bear the hrunt
OF the legal controversy.
II also developed that the PARTIES t.
the action signed an agreement on
May II. 1916. at which time there were
persisted rumors that an action for
divorce was to be filed. The agree
ment, which counsel for Mrs. Wing.
field this morning charged Wingfield
with wishing to treat as a scrap OF
paper" outlines the policy TO be adopt
ed relative To an allowance in case of
"a separation and also fixes the point
of custody of the children.
The aSI cement was made a part of
Mrs. WingAeld's motion. II was signed
at San francisco by Mr.. and Mrs
WinslcId and their respective attor-
ncy. II states that at that time the
principals had been separated for
some time and were DESTROYS of re-
Stunning marital relations. Under the
terms OF the agreement Mrs. VIM
field WAS to return 20 the RcEJ home,
but If a separation later ocCdr. ed, She
was 20 receive San Francisco il H.
from Ter husband. not TO cost more
than $4,000 and allowance of $4,000
rear so long as she remained single.
The custody of the children was to be
divided, each to have the two babies
six months OF the year with the priv
ilege to the other of visiting them at
all reasonable times Their education
was to be in schools or colleges ap
proved by both the father and mother

Both parties to the contract waived
the right to any share of any separat,
of community property that might b'
involved and Wingfield agreed to pal
all outstanding debts contracted b!
his wife at that time not in excess Of ;
total of $4,000. a clause in the agree
