slave", he thought.

She ordered him to clean up the apartment, to launder her garments, to cook and serve her, feed her and clean up behind her. He was in ecstasy.

"I love the beautiful satin of her housecoat, I'd love to stroke and caress it", he thought.

"Massage my entire body through this housecoat," she commanded. "That's an order". He quivered with pleasure as he obeyed the command.

"I'm hers---hers to do with whatever she wishes"

he said to himself.

WISH TO CHANGE SEX NOT CRUELTY DIVORCE PLEA FAILS

The question whether it was "cruelty" for a husband to persist in a desire to become a woman was raised in the Court of Appeal yesterday. The court's ruling was that the husband's actions were not cruel.

Mrs. Constance Dolling of Trafalgar St., Walworth, appealed against an order of Mr. Justice Davies dismis- sing her divorce petition alleging cruelty by her hus- band r. Vicotor George Dolling. The nusband did not defend the suit or contest the appeal.

Mr. Mark Smith, for the wife, said Mr Dolling, now dressed as a woman was employed as a woman in a clerical capacity. He received implantations of hormones which caused some development of female characteristics.

"These matters must give rise to the belief that they may affect the wife's health and so amount to cruel- ty". One of the matters to be considered was whether the behaviour of Mr. Dolling was prima facie cruel.

Lord Justice Ormerod said: "Large numbers of women these days seem to wear men's clothing, it is by no means a one way street." No cruelty-case dismissed, he ruled.
