FOUR UNHAPPY ONES SEEKING
 SEPARATIONS
Divorce Suits Still Pile Into the Superior Court at
 Very Rapid Rate.

Kathryn Gerbardt of Norwalk has brought suit foE separation from her husband, Edward Gerbardt, also of Norwalk They were married on Oc- tober "A, 1900, and lived happily for but a short time. Mrs. Gerbardt claims that Edward has been very cruel to her and thinks that they would be more happy apart, but she wants alimony.
 Because James B. Barnum has de- serted her and broke the marriage VOW, Mary E. Barnum claims a di- vorce. James is now living in some city unknown to her, so she wants the custody of her children, Gertrude, 15, and John, 12.
 Paul O. Mercer of Norwalk has brought suit for divorce in the su- perior court from Margaret Mercer. Although they were married on Aug. 3, 1914, and married life went along peacefully for quite a while, still Margaret deserted her husband and is now living in parts unknown.
 Helen Szlenk of Stratford sues Flu gene Szlenk for a divorce. They were married in March, 1913, but soon Mrs Szlenk found her husband very cruel She is charging him with habitual in- temperance. Besides a divorce, she wants her name changed to Kaz- meerczyk, her maiden name.
