BRAWLEY, Aug. 10.-Officers

the bandit away from Brawley. The
safe was believed to have had
approximately $500 in it Tuesday
but this had not been verified
Thursday.
Ward asked in a telephone con-

occasions "Elinor, for her dinner,
would order sandwiches from a deli
catessen store, and this permitted her
to affect an air of martyrdom"-
which was strictly phony, he adds,
since she couldn't have been very
hungry after the lunches she'd been
putting away.
II the battling couple had had
maid, Mrs. Welton would probably
not be in court today, asking for
separation, $3.50 weekly alimony, and
$500 counsel fees.
Why didn't they hire one?
The much-publicized difficulty of
finding stray domestic help now was
no doubt the chief reason. But Mrs.
Welton's filed papers suggest that
there may have been still another ore.
She pictures her husband as one of
the most uninhibited spenders on
the Great White Way. II was his
habit to go night-clubbing about three
times week, she declares, and he al
ways wanted TO pay for every
thing and everybody
When the check arrived he
would never, never engage in those
traditional fumbling matches with
\ the other gentlemen in the party.
He paid.
1t doesn't take much of that sort
Of thing TO put man in arrears.
So, they may not have been able
TO afford help, even though Mrs.
Welton says her husband has a

She also has a good deal to say
about the housekeeping and cooking,
most of it strikingly at odds with his
story.
While admitting that he did spend
some of his time on the chores, she
insists that the reason was that he
liked TO do il.
Polishing the floors and furniture,
she declares, was his substitute for
a gym workout; and when ii came
TO cooking, he loved that so much he
accumulated a library on the subject.
Many wife, with such husband,
would have been content just TO re-
lax and live the kind of life Mrs.
Welton is charged with living-par-
ticularly if the husband was other
wise as moroSe as she says hers was.
Without any reason at all, she al
leges, he would stop speaking to her
and start communicating by note.
She also introduced the testimony
of three of her Park Avenue friends,
who swear they saw her cleaning
rugs, darning her husbands socks
and roasting a leg of lamb.
So contradictory are the charges
and counter-charges in this case that
the court may feel they cancel each
other out entirely.
II so, it's anybody'S guess who
made their home worthy of being
glorified in the ads.
Maybe 1t was the pixies.

home only when prepared it myself.

After revolving against this state Of
affairs, he says he took TO having
dinner at restaurants.
Evidently he thought that, left to
her own devices, ElHerr his pretty
blond wife, might 90 into the kitchen
and fry an egg or something. But
she seems 10 have cVaded the trap.

situation is tn a I whatever
homework was done, he did it
after office hours and
when he quit, nothing was
