Five pretty young lady students Of the
Mary Institute took the towH of Clayton by
storm yesterday afternoon. They left their
homes in st. Loais In the morning to so<

an onslaught on the romantic Gretna Greenf
OF Missouri.
The young ladies succeeded. After visit-b
in Clayton. who Is also student at thet
Mary Institute, they went to the marrias@
license office, induced Mr. wetzel to give
them licenses. went through mock marriages
ceremonies and afterwards went into tho
Probate Courtroom, usurped the bench of
Judge Wurdeman and conducted the trta'.
of a divorce suit.

piled for divorce on the charge that her
husband neglected her and stayed out at

had been pressed into requisition for the
occasion, thought the evidence insufficient
and declined to grant it, The mock trial
caused the officials In chs other parts of
the Courthouse to leave their desks and tho
