theme for the newspaper paragrapher. Yester-
day another bar was removed. II has been the

and must appear in person. Both Of these re-
quirsments we're waived yesterday in the case
OF Mary Gottschalk, aresident of Pennsylvania.
Sne was never in Chicago in her life. and on
her affidavit that her husband Herman had de-
serted her for two years, during which time he
mad hved in Chicago, she was granted a
divorce. Her attorney secured this result by
nshing up q forgotten decision by the supreme
court OF the state, rendered about twenty years
ago, in which the court held that s.in comtem-
Piation OF the Law the residence of the wife fol-
lows that Of the husband" and "desertion for
the period OF two years by the husband resid-
