AT SEVENTEEN
He Fell Ih %c With Married Woman (From "N.Z. Truth's" Aucklana Kep.) Some three years ago a youth of seventeen became ; a visitor to the home of William James Hunt and his wife, Emily Isabel, at, Onehunga. .' SUCH were his attractions that it was not long; before Mrs. Hunt began to display a very -marked preference for him: so much so, m fact, that her husband and relatives began to sit up ■-. and tike notice. ',' •'■ But the peculiar attachment of this woman who is twice the age 6f her admirer increased rather than lessened, until at last' the amazed relations . ; thought fit to ,use every possible persuasion, to break the infatuation. y Their efforts were ; fruitless, however, arid last year Emily ;> Isabel left her home and; children.,; 'Every attempt to induce her to-re-turn has failed; she refuses to resume i her former life. ' ' '""., . This being the case, her husband, v W. J. Hunt, ' engaged the services of - .; Lawyer Singer when he, applied fpr restitution of conjugal rights at the v. Auckland Supreme Court "last week,, before Judge ~ MacGregor. :. . Hunt told the court that he was J. prepared to take his wife back and forget the past, but, so far she had re-• • fused to return. . "You really want your wife back?* asked: his ' honor. ': "We all want berback," was the reply. , .. ; The husband went on to say that the young lhan for whom his wife had left home was now -about twenty-one years pld, and, he thought, was working for a well-known : butcher. . ;■'■.'■"' "A most curious ..case," was the judge's comment. .In corroboration of her father's evidence, a daughter, went into the wit-ness-box'and told how she 'had been compelled to leave, home owing to her objection to this young man. His honor granted a decree for restitution of; conjugal rights within fourteen days after service. • Giant briar pipes exhibited m a Bond Street . (London) tobacconist's window rfecehtly attracted a good deal of attention. These pipes take an ounce of tobacco at a time for a smoke lasting- from four to six hours. They are priced at ' from £ 4 a piece. But it is not all . tobaccos that can be. smoked for six or even for four hours, continuously.' ;If iyou tried to smoke some of the American imported brands for such a length of time, you'd get nicotine poisdning. You'd have a better chance with our own New. Zealand tobaccos, which owing to their; excep-r tional purity and comparative freedom from nicotine can really be. smoked for hours on end without risk, to heart or nerves. They . are delightfully cool, mellow, sweet and fragrant, with a most delicious flavour, of their own. With such qualities to; recommend them (and the good word; of the doctors), it is not surprising to find these brands m rapidly increasinjg demand. Try "Riverhead Gold" ; airomatic, "Navy Cut".
