 Disclosure of misunderstanding of the nature of the charge made against her. together with love for their four little daughters, led Ernest D. Moquin of Bristol to withdraw his suit for divorce against Anna Moquin of Plajnville when the time for trial came yesterday in the superior court at Hartford. A sec- l ond suit, for alienation of affections against Harry Silk of Plainville. was also dropped. The three principals in the actions, together with their attorneys and 8 large number or witnesses. were at the court house and ready for the hearing when Moauin relented and withdrew both suits.
 Several months ago Moquin sent Silk to his home to do electrical re- pair work; Mrs. Moquin had met Silk at several dances. the latter being a prompter at these affairs, | and Moquin suspected his wife of relations with the other man. He accordingly brought her to the of fee of Attorney William N. De- Rozier of Bristol, where she was questioned concerning the matter. Mrs. Moquin admitted she had done something awful an1 something she should not have done." When asked if she meant adultery, she replied, "Yes; if that's what you call it." Moquin immediately instituted suit for divorce, naming Silk as CO., respondent, and sued the latter for s3.000 damages for alienating his wife's affections.
 Mrs. Moquin obtained Attorney David L. Nair of New Britain as counsel. Attorney Nair questioned his client and discovered that she had admitted adultery because she had not understood the meaning of the word; actually she had done nothing more serious than kiss Silk. Silk secured Attorney Charles F. Conlon to defend him and denied the charge against him. Mrs. Mo- quin brought counter-suit for sup port and attached her husbands au- tomobile, whereupon he attached their furniture.
 ' This was the situation when the various parties concerned met in the court house yesterday. The sight of the four little Moquin girls, who had been separated from each other since the actions were brought, embracing each other in joyful reunion proved too much for the father and he dropped his charges.
 A separation agreement was made between the couple. The children will be divided between them, the husband taking Shirley, ', and Vir- ginia, 3, while Miriam. 4, and June, 6 months, will live with their mother. MT. Moquin will keep the automobile and his wife the furni- ture, and he will pay her SIP a week for the support of the chill dren.
