support. Divorce for these causes, and
the further causes Of habitusl drunken
ness and cruelty, is allowed In most Of
the states In the Union, on the theory
that they make the matrimonial
bonds intolerabe letters to women
more especially. II Is contended that not
adultery itself is more destructive OF the
peace and order OF the family aud more
uncomfortable by the outraged matri-
monial partner. Hence, II full divorce
is to be granted at all. the argument is
IL should be granted for such causes no
less than for the single cause permitted
In this state II, rs the Roman Catholics
