A touching reconciliation took

in Commerce street.
It was a reconciliation between
Mrs. Jessie Phillipson and her hus-
band, Frank, a plumber. who had
been listed as missing for two years
and who had been brought hactl».
from Springfield, Mass. to face a
charge of non-support.
For the first time since early in
February 1923 Phllllpson had seen
his wife and his little. daughter .who
immediatelyrecogniaed her daddy
and greeted him with hugs and
tears.
0n the other hand. Mrs. Phillip-
son. in an interview this morning.
said that tin-re was no reconcilia-
tion.
“Hoar could there be a reconcilia-
tion." auctioned Mrs. Pbiilipaon.
“We had no quarrel before he left
home. When there is no quarrel
there can be no reconciliation."
At any rate. Hr. Philiipson spent
last night in his own home and than
is a. big pouibiltry that the our-gs
of non-Import will be dropped. as-
