WHAT A PAL!

■■ Mary V Missiles Of LoVe (From "N.Z. Truth's" Christchurch ■■„ Rep.) They say it's a good dog that does as it's told, but if ever this saying is applied .to woman, "Truth" recommends Mary Wilson for the prize* 1 * AND as for novel ideas, Mary again , holds a whole heap of guns. One of her playful notions to attract the attention of her. husband from the house m which he was living was to "tm>ow a few pebbles at his window to let him know she was there," but "V7ilsoh kept the "pebbles" and they proved vefy practical ■ factors m separating Mary from the best part of a" fivepound note. " The fact that it was Armistice Day, when thoughts of peace should be uppermost m everybody's mind, mattered little to Mary. She wanted to see her husband who was living with relatives at 176 Clyde Road, Fendaltoh. - The parties are .separated, which makes it hard to believe that the "pebbless" were missiles of love, and the three large pieces of jagged river metal which reposed on the sub-in-spector's table m the court suggested that peaceful thoughts and the prospects of a truce were furthest from Mary's mind when she heaved them through the window of Elizabeth Marion Wilson's house m Clyde Road. When she had bfoken^ three panes of glass m her endeavor to attract her husband's .attention,' one of the family remonstrated j with her and advised her to go and i jump m the river. ! /But m the absence of a handy river, Mary obligingly jumped into a nearby creek where she stayed for a few brief 1 moments' tmtij the icy temperature forced a retreat. "When her case was called Maw hopped 'm with her side of the stoiyy first and said she merely wanted to attract her husband'.s attention so that he would not disturb- other people m the house, attd she broke one of the windows with'a "pebble" by mistake. A glance at the 1 "pebbles, 1 * and the knowledge that Mary had once previously , been' convicted for wilful damage, convinced Magistrate Mosley that the woman needed checking, so he fined her £2 and ordered her to make good the damage, \ amounting to a amount.
