ASKS DIVORCE BECAUSE
AVIFE WOULD NOT COOK
Another Happy Homo Made
Desolate By Domestic
Differences.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.
His wife's refusal to cook din
ner on the first Sunday after
their marriage caused Charles
Colton to file suit for divorce.
Believing that the very claim in
favor of matrimonial bliss
would be a Sunday spent en
tirely at home, with no restau
rant menus staring him in the
face, Colton suggested that his
wife prepare a repast. Accord
ing to his complaint, Mrs. Col-
ton replied that had Bhe
thought him so unreasonable as
to make such a demand of her
on Sunday, she would never
have married him. She Is al
leged to have further declared
that she did not love him, but
married him only because her
aunt suggested it.
