DIVORCE, § 138 — when husband compelled to pay wife's attorney's fees and suit money. Where husband, seeking divorce, appealed from decree of dismissal of his complaint for want of equity, subsequent decretal order that husband pay wife $250 on account of suit money and attorney's fees was held proper because, from nature of case as shown by court record, justice demanded that wife be allowed reasonable sum in defending decree of dismissal, since court was satisfied husband would resort to improper methods to obtain divorce.
