SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 Hard Winter For Erstwh Of the All They Can Sing Now Is “Happy Days Gone By,” for Herzfeld Amendment Has Broken Up Their Cozy Club and Now They'll Have to Pay Dues to “Madam X”’ or Be Ju Again Until They “Come Across.” By Fay Copriicht, 1919, ty The Press Publishing Go, (The New York Evening World). i ‘APPY days at the Alimony Clu the good old times when a man could brag to his friends that he would serve six months in jail rather than pay his wife a nickel. Gone are the days companions every the movies. Back to-night! weary of supporti occupants back in amendment of Sec! directed by the court served not mo was again free of jail, he was also free of the drain of supporting his wife, who, after having him punished o1ce for this offense, cauld not punish him again. All this Is now changed through an amendment introduced by Max Herz-| feld, a Brooklyn lawyer, and approved by Governor Smith. “No wonder husbands would rather go to jail than pay their alimony,” jaughed Mr. Max Herzfeld. “All the husbands who were not willing to pay alimony had to do was to allow back Payments to reach the sum of $500, then their wives would halo them to| court and they would be sentenced for & term of three months. If the amount ‘was over $500 they would be sentenced six months on a contempt charge. But after they had served the six months they could not be gent to jail again on the same charge. To be sure. whatever property they mirht have or accumulate in the future could be seized if,it was in New York State; but they could not be placed behind the bars again, and by removing to another State their alimony problems wore solved. “But now my bill provides that e: @efault be treated as a separate cas After serving his torm for non-pay- ment, the unfortunate husband, if he still refuses to come across with ali- Mony on his release, may be Jv" 1 right over again. This may keep up for the rest of his or his wife's life.
