as she was very sick. OF course the h,lS-
band made no objections to her going
to visit a sick sister. 1t was during her al

her divorce, and was never notified that pre-
ccedings therefor were instituted. His law

ment, and it is of no effect. The parties still
live together as man and wife, although the
woman carries in her pocket decree Of d.
yorce. Probably her Louisville sister could
rise and explain, if so disroscd.-Lo7Sr'Hc
