Senate has almost unanimously passed a law
permitting divorce after the parties who desire

change as compared with the present law is to
lessen the formalty and expense. The three

was before matter of suit

1t Is unfair for the authorities to insist on retaining
possession OF premises when the landlord is willing
to cancel the lease and TO refuse to pay for such
possession on the ground that the rent is exces-
