USE OF LIPSTICK

WIFE SEEKS SEPARATION Should a wife use lipstick if her husband objects? This was the problem placed . before the Bench when Mrs. Katherine Emma Glenister, of Acland Eoad,v Bournemouth, asked for a separation from .h.er husband on grounds of persistent cruelty (states the "Daily Mail")* Mrs. Glenister stated that a, quarre arose one evening because ihe applied a touch of colour to herilipaibefore going to the pictures. *Sho was not in the habit of using lipstick, but jm this occasion she had called for '.a woman friend in the flat above who did use it, and Mrs. Glonister followed her friend's example. •'. '■ ; ' "As I was going out,'' Mrs. Glenister told the Bench, "my husband called me back. He looked at me father straight and asked what I had got on my hps. I told him, and he objected. , , "I said there was no harm in a little of it. He replied that he was not going to have it arid he 'pulled' my lip an< tried to get the lipstick off and slapped me across the face." Mr. Edwin Glenister, the husband, said: "I have always told my wife that she looked very well without lipstick. She had never had it on before, and for that reason I asked her to remove it. "She said she would do as she pleased and I brushed my hands across her lips and said she should noVgo'out with it on." ■-■-..; • - The Bench adjourned the case to see if the quarrel could be" smoothed over and a separation avoided. , ~.■•• When a representative of "The Mail" called at the Glenisters' home Mr. and Mrs. Glenister were both there. When aslced if there was any likelihood of a reconciliation, Mr. Glenister replied: "It is ( too early to say anything definite yet, but I am hoping that every^ thing will turn out all right and that the best will happen." Mrs. ■ .Glenister did' not say anything.
