Order modified, on the facts, by deleting therefrom the provision which directs plaintiff to pay defendant $175 per week for her support and substituting therefor a provision that plaintiff shall pay defendant $150 per week for her support. As so modified, order affirmed, without costs or disbursements. The increase *833in support payments was not warranted under the facts herein. Hopkins, Acting P. J., Latham, Damiani and Hawkins, JJ., concur.
