1Opinion of the Court

Mr. JUSTICE THOMAS J. MORAN

delivered the opinion of the court;

This is an appeal from an order of March 29, 1974, modifying a decree of divorce by removing the custody of two minor daúghters, then aged 13 and 9, from the father, and placing it with the mother. The father appeals, claiming that the order changing custody was an abuse of judicial discretion in that there was no change in circumstances relative to the childrens welfare which warranted the change of custody and that he (the father) has a superior right to the minor children, all other things being equal.
