1. ““In Packard v. Packard, 34 Kan. 53 , 7 Pac. 628 , it was said that as the divorce to the wife was granted by reason of the fault and aggression of the husband she should be allowed such alimony as would maintain her and her children in as good condition as if she were still living with her husband. In Leach v. Leach, 46 Kan. 724 , 27 Pac. 131 , where thg divorce was granted to the husband for the fault of the wife, and he had property worth from ten to fourteen thousand dollars, and owed about $500, and he was required to pay all the costs and support all of the children, five in number, it was held that the award of $2,500, in addition to certain personal property, was not erroneous. It was said in the opinion that ordinarily $2,500 or $3,000, out of an estate worth from $10,000 to $14,000, would be too small, but in this case it was probably right, and at .most this court could not say that the court below should grant her any larger sum.””
