SAYS FUSSING IS HUMAN

Brooklyn Court Rules It Does Not Constitute Cruel and Inhuman Treatment Brooklyn, N. Y.—Squabbles, wordy altercations, unkind and exasperating or even insulting words used in the heat of passion aroused by bickerings do not constitute cruel and inhuman treatment, according to a recent divorce case decision by the appellate division. The court added: “Unfortunately for our weak nature, these things constitute conduct which renders it unsafe or Improper to live together.” Testimony went to show that the wife, who sought divorce and alimony. Objected to lie presence ofa stepson and chased the male members of the family from the house. \ “In these squabbles she (the plaintiff) seems to have been able to hold her own," said the court “We do not think any law requires a domestic exile to support a wife while living apart from her own family.”
