Ha also wrote her telling her ha would "paint tha town if she did not write." and cioaea many of hla epistles with tha touching admonition of '.'Kiss me, honey." It was brought out on cross-examina tion that tha husband had secured nia divorce soma tlma ago. though Mrs. Waymire denied that aha had aver oeen served with notice of the ault or that she knew of the suit having been com menced. She said that aha nad made no further effort to secure the child and that neither she nor Bell had made an effort to find out what her husband was doing in order that they might get married aa soon as the decree had been given.
