POT-PIE KILLS HIS AFFECTION Tearful Wife Tells Tale of a Love That Died at Di vorce Court As a nice little surprise for her hus band, Rolandus. at the first little din ner they had together after their wed ding, pretty Mrs. Ida Wise baked a pot-pie. From that very hour, she told a Dauphin county divorce judge to-da.v, she noticed a lack of en thusiasm in her husband's affection. As time wore on he attempted to strike her. The story of George Mercer's strenuous efforts to guide his pretty young wife in the paths of sobriety was told the court by indignant board ing mistresses. Time after time the Mercers had to move because Mrs. Mercer liked to look too long and too often upon the wine when it was red. One kindly-faced little old boarding mistress quietly told of her vain ef forts to reform Mrs. Mercer by "talk ins to her like she would to a daugh ter. and then going into her bedroom and praying for her." Sensational tales of the wayward ness of pretty Mrs. Lillian M. Rashore from whom her husband Harry E.. wants a divorce, were edifyingly told yesterday by a pretty maid in the Ra shore household.
