"But I paid little attention to the
threats. He seldom knew her mind
from one minute to the next"
i Mrs. Cumming stated before the
marriage that she did not want Ia
live with Cumming, that she would
not live with him. She did not want
any alimony at first. This was put
in as an afterthought. I often ad

alone. Had she done so he would have
done more for her and the child.
