The wedding was to have taken place last June and all preparations for 1t were made. but a postponement was necessary because MT. Flagler did not comply with the Florida statute in regard to giving sixty days notice of his application for divorce. The statute under which MT. Flagler secured a divorce, permitting him to remarry, was passed by the Florida Legislature for his special benefit, it is said by politi- clans.

Flagler' s l nuptial plans, by the provisions of which insanity of four years standing is made l sufficient ground for divorce
 1 Former Governor Fleming, who had been appointed guardian of Mrs. Flagler l represented her, but only as a matter oi | forn as there was practically no defense to MT. Flagler's suit.
