Gently between Mr.. and Mrs. Exore 2.
Plausse, of 8 Everett street, by which
the husband and wife will reverse their
positions. Mr.. Plausse will remain at
home and attend to the household
duties, while Mrs. Plausse goes out
and earns the wherewithal to provide
the necessaries for the home.
Plausse was before the court on
charges of non-support of his wife and
minor children. Mrs. Plausse told the
court that her husband had not worked
for months and that all he had turned
in for household expenses in five
months had been $75.
Mrs. Plausse has found work at a
wage sufficient to support the family
and she is willing to be the breadwin-
