One feature of the divorce problem
has SO impressed itself on Judge Strout
at the present Knox term Of court.
that he spoke Of it from the bench
the large number Of young women who
appear from their own statements. to
have married men without knowing
or apparently caring TO know anything
Of their character. The judge re-
marked that a woman is supposed to
exercise n little common sense and
ordinary prudence in contracting 50
imnortant.a relation as marriage.
But many women. in asking divorce,
testify that they knew nothing of the
men they married, when they married
them. and so got tied to drunkards
and shiftiess or cruel men without
taking the most obvious precautions
against such calamity. The judge
does not sympathize much with such
women. but grants them divorces, hav-
ing found from observation that no good
effect. socially Or morally, results
from holding them to their marriage
contracts after they have become re-
pugnant to those who fCJlishly made
them. But he hopes that the records
Of his court at this term will be z
warning - some women against con-
tracing hasty marriages with men ~
whose character; and habits they know
little or nothing.

its receipts and expenditures for the
