Sues Hubby Who
Would Not Read
Or Attend Show

"There's g ihe road, go ahead,
YOU re not tied. - That is what Al
vim Hook Lewis frequently told his
wife, formerly GwendolSn Alice
Sherwood, according TO complaint
for divorce which she filed with the
county clerk today. This and sim
liar treatment caused the plaintiff
to suffer great mental anguish, the
complaint alleges, and undermined
her health. Lewis refused to ac-
company her 20 places of amuse-
ment, Notwithstanding her frequent
requests that he do so, nor would he
assist her in entertaining friends.
The complain further charges that
he refused to read books end per.
iodieals, and was therefore unable
TO keep posted on topics Of the day,
making social companionship with
him impossible.
The couple were married IN Fres'
no, December %, 1920, and separated
September 20, 1923. The plaintiff
now resides in Calipatria. Judge T..
II. Myers is her attorney.
