of light hair, and red lips, whom he had
called wife for eight jears
She calmly told him that he could ;

right and he was wrong, and practi

In the hands of the family lawyer.
Unless joung Sujdam weakens from
his determination, papers In a suit
against his wife probably will be filed
at RIverhead on Monday morning
"Yes, I paid a visit to my wife In New

conference here, when her father and

told me that she loved Fred Noble very
much
"Ioulse told me that I had been more
than kind and considerate, but that Fred
Noble had come into her life, and that
she did not care to live with me an

me as though I was returning home
from a dav s fishing, but at the same
time I knew I must hold my place. I
am afraid I was a little nervous, but
she must have understood.
"I told her it was time to end the
farce, that she might as well return to

Mrs Suvdam laughed the first and last

"It vvas not in this case They decided
