A CHOW'S WIFE.

+ ■ Sue Young's Marital Miseries. Sue Young, presently of Masterton, isn't the first Chow arrested m New Zealand for wife desertions Incidentally it might be mentioned that the woman a Chinaman would run away from must be a remarkable sort of a creature, and Mrs Sue Young is certainly no ordinary woman. Casual Court habitues will recollect her as Maggie Mathieson, a lady of complacent virtue, who once inhabited a house of sin with two other black angels m Dixon-street, Wellington, and Dr. McArthur kindly sentenced her to twelve months' of involuntary chastity m the local gaol. At that time, Sue Young was Maggie's patient Oriental' lover, and grieved at her sudden translation to a cashless job on the liill ; so that when Margaret resumed the thread of her existence m the outer world, she was received with open arms by the Yellow agony, who moved with his spouse to Masterton. The lady, however, is one of the sensuous kind, ■of whom beer and the joys of sex arc the mainspring of her and Sue complains that she was not entirely faithful to him: When a self-indulgent woman wake's up m ,tlie morning with a thirst, and -;has to take something during the day to irrigate \an ever-recu.rring dryness, she rloesi't care much for appearances, I AND LAUGHS AT MORALITY with the fatuous hilarity of thedrunken. Sue complains that another alien has shared her favors, . and he also suspects that his inamorata has extended her liberality to others besides. She was even discreet enough to contract a loathsome disease, Which she passed on to Sue, whose existence became such a misery^ to him that he packed ■up and hit* out for the city, en route to parts unknown, by way of Sydney. Margaret was not to be diddled, however, .and, involving the aid of the law, ' she had her ungrateful husband arrested m Wellington-, where he posed as a yellow streak of misery m the prisoner's dock. The wretched Asiatic looks a physical wreck; and would' find , life much more healthy if he lived " a few thousand miles away from his unsober spouse. It is the misfortune of Sue that he was arrested on an. indictable , offence during the Xmas vacation, as the Wellington and Wairarapa Magistrates are absent on their holidays, and the hideous undesirable is being punted about from .TvP. to J.P. until he strikes a regular Stipendiary who will fix up the business, if Sue offers to be dealt with summarily. .
