HUSBAND DISPUTES BILL. London, March 13. Nine pairs of silk stockings, supplied to Lady Cathcart, against whom a decree nisi was made on February 24, were the subject of an action in the Westminster Court, a Bond Street firm suing Earl Cathcart for £l7. The defence pleaded that Lady Cathcart had no authority to pledge her husband’s credit, but the plaintiffs said that the authority was withdrawn after the stockings were bought. The wife’s affidavit declared that she considered the price reasonable. Her allowance was only £BO a month, out of which she had to pay the school fees of her two children. During the hearing Earl Cathcart learned that his two-year-old heir was seriously ill, .and the hearing was adjourned forthwith.

Countess Carthcart is the widow of Captain de Grey Warter. of the 4th Dragoon Guards, who wa-s killed in the war. She married the Earl in 1919. His solicitors published in August his repudiation of his wife’s credit. In the divorce action the Earl of Craven was cited as co-respondent, and it was stated that his wooden leg was -found on a settee in the Countess’ cabin on a steamer bound for Havre.
