Brooklyn, N, Y, Aug. 16.-(UP)- An unusual philosophy towards life in general and men in particular was unfolded today by wife, who for q year posed as her husbands sister, 90 that the husband might also live with another wife he had arquired.
 Police yesterday arrested Frank Sall, a rather anaemic appearing grocery clerk, whose total income is but $25 a week.
 He was charged with bigamy by his first wife, Alice, who said that since June, 1928 she had posed as his sister, had aided him in marry ing Elizabeth Frazier and had lived with the couple in a small apartment in one of Brooklyn's lesser sections.

 As possible justification for her very unusual behavior she philoso- phized;
 "A woman has hard enough time without making trouble. Once you get man you might as well make the best of his weaknesses. If he is going to fall in love with another woman, you can't stop him."
