Judge Vaughn
dissenting.
On defendant’s appeal, I would sustain her assignments of error except the one relating to counsel fees which I too would reject. I would, however, hold plaintiff to his bargain and not allow him to succeed in seeking modification of the order. I do not agree that, on the facts of this case, there is any circumvention of public policy in this position. Indeed, sound public policy would seem to support defendant’s position. Even if the judgment should be held to be modifiable, I would affirm that part of Judge McHugh’s order wherein he declined to do so. The facts of this case do not disclose the kind of change of circumstances that require a reduction in alimony.
