Parker, J.
The parties to this action are the same as in the case of Westphal v. Westphal, ante, p. 379 [ 10 Pac. (2d) 119 ], this day decided. The present appeal is from an order directing defendant Adolph R. Westphal to pay plaintiff certain sums of money to defray counsel fees and costs of suit. The order appealed from was made after answer and cross-complaint by defendant. Prior to the making of the order in the present appeal the court had made an order directing the payment of a monthly allowance from which order defendant Adolph R. Westphal had appealed. The order here under review directs defendant Adolph R. Westphal, who will hereinafter be referred to as the husband, to pay to Elinor Westphal, hereinafter referred to as the wife, sums of money as follows: $500 to enable her to compensate her counsel upon the husband’s appeal from the order directing the payment of support money; $1500 to enable her to compensate her counsel for his services to be rendered in defending plaintiff against the cross-complaint of the husband; $500 to enable the wife to defray the costs and expenses of the action.
Sufficient of the general situation appears in the case between the same parties this day…
