She won her case
to-da.. .
Min. Heifert was, until a yesr sgo.
the wife of Charles W. Seifert, an
auto tire dealer. 8he got a divorce
from him and also the custody of
their two children, Marshall, aged
ten, and Sylvln, aged six. In the
decree handed down by Justice Ooff, In
the Supreme Court, no provision was
made as to when and where he should
see the children.
Late In January Mrs. Seifert sailed
for Paris to see what creations would
be the rage this spring. No sooner
had the steamer passed Sandy Hook
than the wireless operator handed
her a message from her lawyer, Har
old Is Lhowe of No. 820 Rroadway,
advising her that Seifert hsd served
notice that he would ask Justice Goff
to modify the divorce decree so thst
he might see his children.
V WIRELESS SHE DIRECTS
PROGRESS OP THE SUIT.
Mrs. Seifert flashed back a message
directing her lawyer to use all the
mesns within his power to keep the
decree Intact. On the following day
Seifert and his attorneys appeared in
court and so did Mr. Lhowe.
Selfert'e attorneys suggested that
the decree ba amended by an amic
able out-of-court arrangement. Mr.
Lhowe would not agrss until he
hesrd from Mrs. Heifert. So he wire

'No, not by any means."
The i ase proceeded to trial and
every side wss communicated to Mrs.
Seifert by wireless snd she sdvised
her sttorney as to what she wanted
done. She even gsve testimony by
wireless.
Here is what Justice Ooff derided:
"There Is no claim on the husband's
part that he has been denied the priv
ilege of visiting the children. When
the wlfu goes to Europe she will give
written authority to the husband to
visit chlldrsn."
