CONCERNING DIVORCES
sons Of tho Danger Periods in Married
Life.

So0e OF tho Danger Periods In Married
Life.
Somewhat more than sixty-five per
cent Of the petitions for divorce in
England and Wales are presented by
those who have been married from
i've to twenty years. In the early
years of married life the proportion
Of husband to wife petitioners are
much the same. But larger percen-
age of petitions are brought by wives
after twenty years of married life.
The highest figures are in relation to
marriages of between ten and twenty
years duration. which is obviously the
most trying period of married life.
Thus in 1893 21.6S per cent Of the hus-
bands petitions and 742 of the wives
lived together between ten and twenty
years. During the period of five years
and less than ten the percentage Of
husbands petitions is 1878 and OF
wives petitions 13.41. In marriages
of twenty years and upward the hus-
bands petitions amount to 5.39 per
cent and the wives petitions to S.14
In France and Italy divorce is sought
mostly by people who have been mar
ried five years and less than ten, the
percentage Of cases being 1886 and
24.97 respectively. The general figures
confirm tie impression that divorces
are commoner in the case of childless
marriages. the proportion varying
from 36.91 to 41.24 per cent. 1t is also
noticeable that in the largest proper
ton of divorce cases, the marriage
took place in a registry office.

Almost every woman suffers from

The Index is under many obligations
to many people In this county, but we
want to especially thank the Old sold
iers for their support. We prize it be-
cause certain politicians tried to make
it appear that we are not loyal Ameri-
can citizens, even classed us with Czol-
&osz, and it is source of delight and
satisfaction to know that many of the
veterans who fought and offered their
lives on their country's altar, put their
seal Of disapproval on such abuse. The
Index's columns have always been open
to the old soldiers and it has always
been a pleasure to us to grant them
space at any time, and we believe we
have received. in their expression OF
good will and friendship, greater re
ward than money can buy. One good
word from veteran is worth. more to
ais than ten thousand columns from a
premature politician.
