EXTRAVAGANT WIVES.

JUDGE'S SCATHING REMARKS. ... Mr. Justice Aspinall, of tho. Supreme Court of Brooklyn, protested (says the New York correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph") against exorbitant alimony for litigious wives. Ho calls tho «£IG,OOO yearly claimed by Mrs. Blanche Heye, now suing her husband, Mr. 'George' Heye, a banker, for absolute divorce, "simply ridiculous.'* "I shall reserve my decision,"' he said, "but she will get no .£16,000 from me.'* "But Mrs. Heye is'entitled to bo maintained according to her station in life," protested her counsel. "Her station in life," exclaimed ''Justico Aspinall in disgust; "that sounds very well in novels, but many a woman has to marry a rich man before she has a station in life at all. Mrs. Heyo has been living too high. Her husband was a soft thing, and now she has lost lliim. Theso society women live at Ritz-Carl-tons, smoko cigarettes, and drink wine. They spend money' like water, instead of trying to make happy homes for their husbands. They don't' want children; they would rather ride the length of New York's Eotton Row with spangled poodle dogs than ca'ro' for their own flesh and blood." "Mrs. Heye," paid counsel for the respondent, "was not born in the purple. My client. inherited ,£200,000 under tho will of his father, and up to tho time of 'his marriage lived .well within his moans. But Mrs. Heye, by her extravagance and insano. desiro for social display, has estranged her husband, maflo his homo life unendurable, and depleted his estato, until! now ho has only J270.000. It seems to be customary nowadays in New York for young girls to marry wealthy men, and then, after gotting all they can, leave their husbands high and dry. Mrs. Heye spent £400 for gowns at one sitting, JEI2S for wines and liqueurs. Her cigar bill for three months was *£10." "So thoy smoke cigars nowadays, in preference to cigarettes," Mr. Justico Aspinall remarked.
