"Beware of foreigners as husbands,"
was the advice of Mrs. Margaret RuelT,
niece of Justice William P. Lawlor, of
the supreme court of California, who is
fighting for exclusive custody of her i
six year old son.
Mrs. Rueff announced she has challenged
her husband, Andre Rueff, a
Frenchman, to compel her to comp'y
with a court agreement permitting him 1
to have the child a pa *t of the time.
She claims Rueff ha* threatened to
take the boy out of th>? Jurisdiction of
the New York courts,
RuelT, who is an art dealer and former
assistant curator of the Brooklyn
Museum of fine arts, Instituted suit for 1
separation against Mrs. Rueff two
years ago charging cruelty. Mrs. Rueir i
started counter action. No decision J
was rendered in the case. Mrs. Rueft
claims she was forced to enter into an
agreement by the terms of which shewas
to have the custody of the boy and
Rueflf was to be permitted to have him
Sundays and part of-the summer. ,(
Fears She Will Lose Child.
"I fear he will take the child out of
the state, and agreement or no agreement,
I shall not permit him to see the
boy except in my preseone," the young
woman said emphatically.
"The divorce laws of New York are
medieval. They are unjust to women.
With my last breath I intend to fight
injustice.
"My marriage was a tragic mistake. 1
My husband, a Frenchman, could not
understand an American woman. Don't
marry foreigners, that's my advice to
young women. American men are
the best husbands. Foreigners do not
know how to treat women as their
equals.
"Equality?that was the trouble with
our marriage. I was my husband's
onual in nvftrvlhlnc We had COUal
social standing: equal income and our
intellectual tastes were similar. He
loved walking. He could walk twenty
miles; I could walk twenty miles. He
wanted to get ahead of me in something.
He insisted upon domineering.
He used his pocketbook to display his
superiority. I never handled any of
the family money in all the time I lived
