PENDANT resided at 1900 Connecti-
cut Avenue, Washington, D. c.,
where they lived together as hus-
band and wife; that on the latter
date the defendant by her neglect
and cruel inhuman treatment and
failure to conduct herself as wife
should, forced plaintiff, under
physicians care, to leave defen-
dant, and since said last mentioned
date, the parties have lived sepa-
rate and apart from each other
without cohabitation, and still do
live separate and apart, and there
is no reasonable expectation of re-
Cancellation.

of photographs for publication in
said Magazine and in the writing

On the 1924 trip to Europe afore-
said plaintiff desired to make some
effort during the four months to
bring back sufficient photographs
worthy of publication in order to
impress his prospective employers
as to his ability in that field, but
defendants attitude was that she
could see no reason why plaintiff
wanted to take photographs or
write due to the fact that he was
the Editors son and his job was
assured, and this, despite the fact
that plaintiff had resigned from
the United States Navy to make
travel, writing, and photography
his life work.

said defendant had always evinced
great pleasure in visiting PLAINTIFFS
