At present it is only a source of expense, and that expense is in part for the benefit of appellee, who retains her dower interest in it.\nAppellant is compelled to keep at work to earn the alimony, while appellee is enabled to live in idleness.\nFollowing the conclusion arrived at in Umlauf v. Umlauf, 128 Ill. 378, we are of the opinion that $50 per month, is, out of an income of $125 per month, derived only by constant labor, too large an allowance.\nWe think that in this case the allowance of alimony should not exceed the sum of $30 per month. The decree of the Circuit Court will, therefore, be set aside and the cause remanded to that court with directions to so modify its decree as to make the award of alimony $30 per month.\nIn all other respects the decree of the Circuit Court is affirmed.\nThe costs made in this court will be taxed against the parties \u25a0 respectively, by whom such costs were incurred.

Separate Maintenance\u2014Allowance Not to be Extravagant.\u2014 Decrees for separate maintenance should not be such as to encourage, by hopes of higher and easier living, the bringing of suits therefor.\nMemorandum.\u2014Bill for divorce and cross-bill for separate maintenance. In the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. Abner Smith, Judge, presiding. Decree on cross-bill; appeal by complaint in the original bill. Heard in this court at the October term, 1894. Reversed and remanded with directions.\nOpinion filed December 6, 1894.\nStatement of the Case.\nAppellant, the husband of appellee, filed a bill asking for a divorce from her. She having answered the bill, denying the charges thereof, filed a cross-bill asking for a separate maintenance.\nIt was undisputed that appellant had gone away from and ceased to live with her. When he did so, he left with her all the furniture and belongings of the home and from $1,000 to $1,300 in money.\nAppellant is a railway conductor earning $125 per month; he is also the owner of ten acres of land in Florida, for which he paid $1,350, and from which he derives no income.\nThe parties had not any children.\nThe court found that the allegations of his bill were not sustained; and that she was living separate and apart from him without her fault; thereupon the court awarded to her the sum of $50 per month as alimony, and that he pay to her solicitors as part of the costs in the case the sum of $150.\nFrom this decree he prosecutes this appeal.\nAppellant\u2019s Brief, Stephen K. Albright and William H. Martz, Attorneys.\nIt is not the policy of the law that any person shall be kept in sumptuous idleness at the expense of another, but that each individual shall contribute to their own support, and no premium will be placed upon proceedings of this character, by making large and extravagant allowances, thus permitting the applicant to live in idleness and luxury.
