HONEYMOON NOT IDEAL, -;.---....
BUT NO DIVORCE GROUNDS

Judge John W. Banks handed down his
decision in The superior court at New
London, Friday. denying Elizabeth Green
of Norwich, whose maiden name was
Westcott, the divorce she sought from
Frank Z. Green of Ledyard They were
married April "a, 1920. The wife asked
alimony, alleging that Green was worth
$4,000.
In his memorandum OF decision Judge
Banks says: L have no doubt The plain
tiff found life upon the farm during her
brief honeymoon less joyous than she had
anticipated. and that the defendant was
less solictitous for her comfort and hap
piness than a bridegroom should be, even
when he enters upon that estate late in
life, but the evidence fails to establish
any action on his part amounting to In
tolerable cruelty in the eye of the law.
nor do I find that the plaintiff has es-
teblished her allegation of corporal i'm
becility.
| The complaint is dismissed.

RIP VAN WINKLE

Tony Sarg's Marionettes in Rip Van
Wrinkle, Washington Irving's American
folk story, made famous by Joseph
Jefferson and puppetized by George
Mitchell, viii appear at the Opera
House on Thursday, Nov. 10, under
the auspices of the City Federation of
Women's clubs.
On Tony Sarg's miniature stage the
many familiar characters seem as big
as life. There's Captain Hudson and
his dwarfsh crew of the phantom ship,
Half Moon, hapless Rips scolding wife,
Nicholas Vedder, the fat innkeeper,
Derrick Van Bummel, the learned
schoolmaster, little Judith, together
with Rip Van Wrinkle himself and of
course his famous dog, not to particu-
larly mention the rabbit and pig and
other friends of Rip.
The play is divided into acts and
scenes, all as complete as when given
on the stage by human actors in per-
son, and the interest in the story never
lags from the rise of the curtain with
the gossiping villagers of New Amster
dam, smoking and talking, to the final
happy reunion of Rip and his home
folk at Christmas time.

Odd Ways of SartInu Fires.

The method of making stick rotate
In a round hole In the stationary piece
Of wood, for the purpose of starting
a fire, prevails in Australia Kamchat-
ka, Sumatra, the Carolines, Ceylon and
southern Africa. Among the Eskimos
and Indian tribes of North America, In
the West Indies, among the ancient
Mexicans, In Central America and as
far south as the straits Of Magellan
this method is also employed. The
earlier races Of mankind all possessed
beliefs as to the origin OF fire and the
manner in which 1t was first discov-
cred, but these beliefs are purely
mythical and without foundation OF
fact.
