REASONS For a Divorce.

The Druses sometimes divorce their
wives for apparently the most trivial
causes. Thus a man named Soleiman
Alfalfa had a wife, Isbakyeh.! The WO-
man frequently worked for us, and on
several occasions l had to complain
that she talked too much and worked
too little. At length I was obliged to
tell Soleiman that owing to his Wifes
laziness I could employ her no longer.
Shortly afterward went to England.

mont&s& absence I was surprised to
find that SG7,-,.7ssss had divorced IsbaE-
yeh and had already lGdTTie4. another
