The liveliest divorce centers Of
the west have to take second place
when compared with matrimonial
separations in Egypt, according to
the accounts of the American
consul to the land of the Nile.
He tells of an alteration that took
place between one of his most
trusted servants and yelled lady,
his wife, which squabble resulted
in a divorce in less than five min
utes. The scene opened with re-
proaches emanating froN the
woman. "Take care" warned the
man. 81 put you from me-" Moth
ing daunted the virago continued
until the exasperated man again
repeated: IL put you from me-"
Still the torrent of abuse flowed
necessarily. Worried beyond en-
durance the servant entered the
house and secured thirty shillings
out OF his years salary of ten
pounds, and returning to the wo-
mau said: Here is your dowryj
now for the third and last time /
repeat; l put you from me-" At
these words the woman went her
way, and the astonished Americas
learned that he had witnessed di-
vorce proceedings; for in Egypt
the assertions 81 put you from me, Z"
made three times to a wife by her
husband, constitutes a solemn di-
vorce without alimony, and once
said the woman has no right to
any further support from the man.
