Mr. Nicoll did not dispute this, and

OF the income of the man.
There is one thing that Won hoth
overlook, @ said Justice Morschauer
Inc mother stands for the paternity
m oi the child; that is, the Legitimacy.
Inc father is attacking it. That is ali
important, to be considered upon this
motion as we'll as any other. Is that
not to be considered on the question of
counsel fee, regardless of the alimony.
winch is easily taken care of?
Now, the most important thing is
the question to me at this time of the
parentage of the child. That is i'm
R,ortant to these litigants. Should not
the child have every possible defense.

"Your honor has put his finger on
the very" heart of this action'o said
Mr.. Levy. This woman is here de-
lending not only herself but her child
This allegation that has been made bv
my friend on the other side has heen
denied. This case has not vet been
tried: When it is tried the facts will
be shown and these deniaIs will he
proved. Therefore, this woman stands
before your honor, asking you to pro-
vide her with funds to fight not only
for herself but for her child
THAT is the case" agreed Justice
Morschauser. That is all important
in considering the question of counsel
fee
The justice then announced that he
did not purpose having any one handle
the papers filed with him until he had
filed his decision in the alimony mo-
tion. After that they are to be filed
with his clerk and the public then
possibly will learn more of the de-
tails of the tangled affairs Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stillman and the little boy Guy.
