DIVORCE OUTRAGES

1t must be very patent to every read
er Of the newspapers that one Of the
greatest evils Of the day is the laxity Of
our divorce laws and the apparently
Indifferent manner in which they are
executed in our state courts. Time was
when the marriage relation possessed
q Significance that rendered it one Of
our most sacred institutions. But OF
late years the ease with which the OBJ
legations of matrimony can be thrown
aside with the aid Of complaisant courts
has taken away from the ceremony
much Of the solemnity with which time
and tradition had rightfully invested
it. The abuse Of divorce laws has
become q national evil. and in our own
county there have been many instances
where the marriage relation has been
held UP to the jest and scorn Of many.
1t Is In fact a very easy matter to Sc
cure q divorce In our courts. There are
numerous statutory grounds, any one
or which Is amply sumcient- Tney are
non-support. desertion for more than
two years, extreme cruelty, habitual
drunkenness and adultery. In many Of
the cases that have come under the OBJ
sefvation of The News there have been
plain evidences of direct collusion be-
tween the parties. The wife perhaps
has good cause of action against her
husband because Of his cruelty. liaisons.

 Bookbinders-Fashion Hints.
 Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin is the sub jeot of an entertaining article by Emma B. Kaufman ill The Ladies' Home Jour- nal. The writer says: It was in a orowd- ed car i'll an unfashionablo quarter of San Francisco that first met Mrs. Wiggin. She got into the car and crowd cd 1t more because there were half a dozen small ragged children hanging about her, and they were calling her Miss Kate, ' and she was smiling with very blue eyes at enc, and she was talk ing with very red lips to another, and her cheeks were very pink even then, and her golden hair was all blown by the wind.
 She had on a little hat that was sur rounded by q wreath of red roses, and she had on q pretty dress that fitted her to perfection.
 1t all struck me as being very incon- gruous-this pretty, fashionable lady who did not seem ill the least to mind all these ragged children cIinging to her and trampling on hor dress, and the children, who did not scom to be i'll the least afraid of the lady style or beauty

ladies held q sort of experience meeting, with corsets for q text. It must have been an impressive and thrilling mo- ment when Miss Susan B. Anthony con fessed in public that, although she had worn them for years, sho did not ap- prove of them, nor had she known a comfortable moment when incased in them.
 l am afraid Susan laced, laced tight. Of course she never knew q comfortable moment in them. Women with szch swelling ambitions and bubbling emo tions could never he made comfortable in any known combination of bono and coutil. But one cannot help wondering why such strong minded woman should submit to a bondage shedid not approve of, when the throwing off of shackles is just in her line
 In the olden times corsets were call ed "stays, /" and it vas the work of two women to incase one waist. After the rear lacing was effected kid covered copper board was inserted between the tortured flesh and the stay. Manifestly a woman stayed in the machine after once getting into it. But we have inn proved on all that, and now that the photographers have pronounced the throat and the flesh tints of Rachel Eos ter Avery the most beautiful that ever came under the camera, all the women will approve of reform dress. Woman's first duty Is to be beautiful, or at least inst AS bpautifnl as her own nhvsical Limitations will admit of

Sixteen months ago, on the platform of tho Worlds fair congresses in Chi cago. l stated that never having be- lioyed in universal suffrage unalliod to universal intelligence and honesty, had never publicly advocated woman suffrage Logically I have always be- heved that women had as much right to the ballot as men, l denied the right to both sexes have always claimed thas suffrage is privilege and should be granted as q reward of merit regardless of sex. If woman suffrage leaders had taken the same ground, would have joined them long ago
 was convinced that whenever a ma jority of American women wanted the ballot they would get it. 1 never met a man who did not assent to this eongie- tion and who did not second my asser- tion that the worst opponents to female suffrage are women themselves.
 Why, then, did 1 experience 6 change of heart in Chicago? Because had be- gun to look into our naturalization laws and was terrified at facts. Because discovered that the new states were in the hands of aliens, not citizens of the United States. Because I saw that fe- male immigration was much less than male immigration; that a large major ity of female voters would be American born, and that the sooner the forces of anarchy and rebellion were met by the conseryators of home and law the better for the country. heard the threatenings of riot that broke out year later, and it seemed to me time for women to come to the fore.

Here is little story which seems to indicate that the pretty girls business prospects are hampered by her protti ness:
 The secretary of large eastern insur- ance company decided short time since that it would be better for his office work to introduce half a dozen or more women as typewriters, operators and as sistant bookkeepers. He had noted that of the feminine employees in his office the pretty ones were the least effective and attracted the most attention, to tho detriment of the work of the other clerks. So he decided to engage only women who were of mature years and experienced in office work. First he ad vertised, stating that applicants should give age and number of years expert ence. He did not succeed ill getting a single satisfactory reply. Then he went to a we'll known business college and told the manager that he did not sup pose he would have any trouble in aid- ing him, as he did not want young or attractive looking woman.
 The manager listened to him while he explained his wants, and then, going to a desk, took ont file of letters, with smile, and laid them before his visitor. There were upward of half hundred spplica tions from banks and conner cial institutions and every one of them, without a single exception, asked for 8 woman of mature age. The manager said that it was absolutely impossible to supply the demand for employees of the description that business mon now de- manded, but he had rafts of pretty girls at all times who were applicants.
