DIVORCE REFUSED TO NAVAL OFFICER: THOUGHT LOVE LETTERS SILLY

Mr. Justice Bucknil, in the Divorce Court recently, dismissed with costs the petition of Engr.- Lt. Cmdr. Francis Henry Lee, R.N of Cowes, Isle of Wight, and for- merly of Stoke, Devonport, for the dissolution of his marriage.

"She has also been described as a woman of brazen impudence.

Justice Bucknili dismissed the co- respondent from the sult.

Eng.-Lt. Cmdr. Lee and Mrs. Lee were married in Malta" on March 7. 1932. There are no children.

MET ON LINER

The petitioner's case was that his wife met the major in a liner while returning from Malta. The association continued when they reached England, and from De- ̄cember; 1935,"to" April, 1938, ̄ ̄she" lived at Major Clarke's mother's house at Torquay,

Adultery was alleged to have taken place there and at an hotel in Southsea.

"The husband showed a complete lack of the very necessary give and-take if the marriage was to be a success. He regarded love- letters as silly.

Maj. Clarke, said the judge, was a man of 38. He was living apart from his wife, and had a boy eight years of age. While on the way back from service in Burma he met Mrs. Lee in a liner.

There could be no doubt they were very much attracted to each other from the frst.
