FORMER KENTLAND MAN NOT DIVORCED

Wife of George Ade Davis Thought Kisses and Not Bull Dog Proper Greeting From Him. George Ade Davis, formerly of Kentland and Brook, formerly of name Sake pf his illustrious uncle, George Ade, has for some time been the manager of the Studebaker theatre in Chicago and recently his wife sued him for divorce, alleging mistreatment. The case was tried by Judge Kavanagh, who refused to grant the divorce, saying that Mrs. Davis was a fine, young girl with an artistic temperainent, but too sensitive. He did not think that she was entitled to a divorce but ordered hes husband to pay her S7O a month alimony for separate maintenance. Mrs. Oavis was peeved because George did not kiss her when she was returning from New York City and he met her at the LaSalle street station. He presented her with a bull pup which he had paid SSO for, but shunned the “bus” for which her lips were parching. He said he did not believe in even kissing one’s wife in public. -Mr. Davis said his wife objected to his hours of work, which kept him at the theatre until 12 o’clock every niglpt and many of the afternoons. She was suspicious lest he fall a victim to some chorus girl but she could substantiate no charge of that kind. She wanted more of his company in the evenings and the afternoons or else a divorce, and she got neither. Mrs. Davis is a painter of miniatures and a graduate of the Art Institute. ”
