The only successful marriage Is
what / call a nfty-nfty marriage.
You give ana take. The husband
yields to the wife for her own
pleasure and the wife At another

The main thing is--don't marry

SLAYER SUCCUMBS;
WIFE IS IMPROVING
Robert Fox Dies at Hospital
Following Double Shooting

Without regaining consciousness,
Robert L. Fox, so years old. 2215
Sixteenth street southeast, who shot
his wife, Annie o. Fox. 46 years
old, late Wednesday night and then
turned the revolver on himself,
died last night at 10 o'clock in the
Emergency Hospital.
Unaware of her husbands death,
the wife is in a serious condition
in another ward OF the same hos
pftal. She will probably recover II
infections do not develop, though
her condition was too serious last
night to tell her of the death of
her husband.
Fox and his wife lived with a
Mrs. Lillian Barrett. at
the Sixteenth street address. They
had a dispute last Wednesday night
over the wife attending a carnival
at Anacostia without the husbands
permission.
While Mrs. Fox was sitting in the
kitchen with a 2-year-old daughter
in her arms, Fox attacked her.
She fed with the child to, a lot in
the rear of the home when Fox
opened fire with "a revolver. The
bullet st1uck her near the right
ear. Thinking he killed his wife,
Fox twice shot himself in the head.
