Ends In Divorce Courts
But back Of q all Is the deceit
praetieed by the husband during the
conrtship and maintained through
the short married life.
There are eases also where the
wife Is guilty Of deception She buys
clothes beyond her husbands means.
charges them and deceives her hus-
band about their cost. When she
makes the purchases she expects 70
pay for them. but how she Is going to
get the money Is another question.
She trusts to luck and usually the
husband gets the bills and there =

vicious decfifs. Wives, as well a.
husbands, are guilty Of deceit, but in
most cases where marriage is Of
short duration II will be found that
the young husband is the one chiefly
to blame.
Han Lies About Income
Often he makes the mistake Of
starting matrimony without making
his bride his full! confidanfe. lie
earns, say $50 a month. During the
courtsbip he tells her his income is
more than that. The automobile he
courts her in is not paid for. There
are monthly payments that must be
met. but the girl knows nothing q
them.
lie hints vaguely At q hank sc-'

deceit continues. The young bride.

5th Avenue Owners
Unite to Fig IA t
Trade InvasiOns
With Fifth Avenue Associa-
ton Balk Advance of
Business Into Several
Blocks in the Fifiies

Property owners in the lower Fiftins,
between Park and Sixth avenues, are
uniting to protect their interests
against violators of the zoning ordi-
nance whose appearance from time to
time threatens this district. The Fifth
Avenue Association, acting as vigi-
lance committee and representative of
the property owners, has succeeded in
having a number of illegal uses dis
continued. They are opposing at pres
ent petition to change West Fifty
fifth Street from Fifth to Sixth ave-
nue. from residential to business use.
"The zoning law is the only protcc-
tion the property owner has against
infringement of his rights by the greed
Of others. 1t is the only safeguard
against further continuation of the
haphazard development that threatens
not only comfort and convenience
but the the health and the very lives
be enforced. When property is bought
under the protection granted by law,
that guaranty against deprecated
value and loss of desirability, it
should be lived up to. unless suspended
by expressed wish of the majority OF
theowners affected.
"Our association, at the request OF
the majority of the property owners
in West Fifty-ffth Street, from Fifth
to Sixth avenue, is opposing peti-
ton filed by small minority which is
seeking to change that street from
residential to business use. In addi-'
ton, notices Of violation have been
issued recently by the Fire Prevention
Bureau against the use of premises
81, 43, as and AZ West Fifty-second
Street and 50 West Fifty-ffth Street.
"This condition is not confined to
the Fifties. We are constantly faced
with the same situations in the other
residential districts. including Park
Avenue and the Murray Hill section,
as we'll as in the districts reserved for
business use, where manufacturing en-
