is deprived of the "support and society
of a husband" by the situation, and
wants $10,000 for that. Because she
had prepared for an approaching mar-
riage, and is now deprived thereof,
"causing humiliation and mortification
of facing her friends and comrades at
Galena and other places," she wants

of health caused by the acts of de-
fendant, she wants $6000. The extra
$520 Is for the trousseau she bought.
